3 Automatic Link Building Methods That You Probably Aren’t Using
John Vantine | March 30th, 2010
Most SEO-minded webmasters are constantly looking for new ways to acquire backlinks. You can never have too many, right? What if I told you that there are ways to automate this task? What if you could build links in your sleep? No, I’m not gonna try to sell you some shady software. Believe it or not, if you have half-decent content that’s worth reading, you might be able to put your readers to work for you. Copy, Paste, Promote I was reading an article on the New York Post the other day, and wanted to share it with a friend. Rather than sending the URL of the article to my friend, I copied several paragraphs to my clipboard and sent them to him via IM. After sending the IM, I saw that there was an additional sentence at the end that I hadn’t noticed before. I definitely hadn’t seen that sentence in the news article itself. It said “Read more”, and provided a backlink to the article. I knew that I hadn’t copied this sentence from the article, so I took a closer look. It turns out that the NY Post was using a service called Tynt. Tynt monitors what is being copied on your site, and adds a link back to the content being copied when a user pastes it somewhere. It actually sends the content to Tynt’s servers, where the “Read more” sentence is added, and then sends it back to your clipboard with that additional sentence. What Continue reading…

My Notes From SMX West 2010 (Part Two)
John Vantine | March 10th, 2010
This is my 2nd post about the presentations that I attended at SMX West. If you didn’t see the first one, check it out here. There’s nothing better than getting your hands dirty with some advanced technical SEO stuff first thing in the morning, right? Those were my exact thoughts as I sat in the expo hall on Wednesday morning, dreary eyed with hot caffeinated beverage in hand. Without further ado… Diagnosing Technical SEO Issues Adam Audette (Audette Media) was the first one to speak. Adam spoke about SEO site audits, and reminded us that they should be a collaborative process. SEO Site Audits When multiple people are involved in a site audit, it can get confusing. It’s very important that everyone involved is on the same page; otherwise, you may find that you are giving your client conflicting advice/suggestions in the site audit. For this reason, he suggested the use of a project management tool like Basecamp. Everyone does site audit’s differently, but they should all include the same core elements. Adam identified these as being… On-Site: Domain(s), navigation, sections and categories, pages, and media (images/video/etc) Off-Site: Backlinks (quantity, quality, frequency), social media signals, cache dates/crawl frequency/indexed pages, and toolbar pagerank After identifying the core elements of an SEO site audit, he said that the “big 4 factors” are URLs, site architecture and navigation, deep pages (pagerank dispersion), and site latency. Gabe Gayheart (Razorfish) took the stage next, and continued the discussion on site audits. Gabe recommended that you Continue reading…
