Seo industry for seasonal items
-
Just wondering what type of link building people do for seasonal sites take http://www.sukkahworld.com or http://www.wreathsgalore.com as an example
Out of season nobody wants to talk about a Christmas wreath.
Do you just a get links off topic or focus on on site content and then get all your links during your season?

Nobody ever knows for sure what their competitors are doing.... so take this comment as a "suspicion" rather than a fact.......
I have a site that sells items that are really popular at Christmas. It usually ranks really well from about February through October... then the same few competitors jump above me for the Christmas season then drop several places in the SERPs shortly after New Year.
I believe that they buy a big load of temporary links that are displayed starting about September 1 and are taken down at the end of December. This gives them the big boost in the SERPs for Christmas but does not have those links in their profile all year long which could flag them for manipulation.
Just sayin' what I think.

Get creative. Take on topics that do deal with Christmas year 'round, but in a relevant and creative way. Most importantly, take a look at how your competition takes on the topic of Christmas wreaths year 'round. Make it fun. There's always "Christmas in July" and a bunch of other fun ways to integrate the topic of Christmas wreaths throughout the year.

yes but take http://www.sukkahworld.com what real site is linking about them now?
-
no link building is an ongoing process and it takes time for Google to give you credit for links and the longer they are up there the better they are. So even if no one is looking for chrstmas wreaths in july your site should still be ranking for that term all year round. You could kick it up a notch a few months before the season though and promote heavily on FB and social media sites. Maybe even adwords dare i say.
There are tons of all year round christmas shops now so relevant linking should not be impossible. Also there are other types of wreaths like grave wreaths that maybe the business could go into?

Will linking to very similar (or duplicate content) hurt SEO
One of my clients started working with a traditional PR company to get media placements and they've placed articles on some very excellent and relevant sites. However, the article's content is nearly identical on each site. We would like to link my client's site to these articles, but will the duplicate content hurt SEO? Because there are some very minor variations within these articles, will that be enough of a difference where we don't need to be concerned if we did link our site to each article?

Link Building for extremely niche industry
I understand that when getting links into your site, they need to be good authority but, importantly, also relevant to the information on your own website. I've seen examples for people to find guest posting opportunities on many sites, but these have been for popular industries with mass amounts of people discussing it (travel blogs, fashion blogs), making guest post opportunities more readily available. The company I work for provide doc storage, scanning and paperless solutions. As you can guess, when following these guides to find blogs on our industry, I have come up short with places to ask to guest post on! So, how would SEOmozzers approach building quality, relevant links for a very niche industry such as ours? Also, we'll be building pages for extremely specific types of files (e.g. Microfiche Scanning, A0 Scanning....). For these pages, how will I be able to find relevant pages on these topics to get a link to, because these will obviously be even more niche than doc scanning? Thank you!

How important are directory submissions to my off-page SEO?
Hi Guys, One area of my link building that I carry out is looking for online directories and social bookmarking websites to submit my website to. I do this in order to gain some backlinks to my website. What I want to know is are they really worth my time, and if so, which types would you say are the most important? I have obviously been through many directory lists, both on SEOmoz and on other websites, and also performed various searches to find relevant directories to my website. I just feel that posting up a link that lies deep in a directory online that, more often than not, have very low PA and lots of outbound links will offer very little in terms of SEO. If anything, this could really bring down the quality of my links and be detrimental to my website, right? This is a subject that I have been thinking about for a while and especially with the recent algorithm update from Google and the attack on many web directories that are, lets say, 'not playing by the rules', I'm worried that this will have a negative impact for my website. Let me know your thoughts guys and if you have any tips on how to get higher quality links from these kind of submission then I'm all ears! Matt.
