How to Build Links for SEO With Infographics

warner — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:39:17 +0000

There’s no denying that any website (yours included) lives or dies on its ranking in the major search engines. While properly keyword optimizing your site’s content, carefully constructing the meta tags for each page on your site and creating a well organized site map for the search engine crawlers are all important, they only go so far towards making your site visible to your target audience. Inbound links are a factor which Google and the other major search engines have been giving more weight to in determining page rank and as a webmaster, link building is something to be ignored at your peril.

There are a lot of different ways to go about link building, from posting on relevant forums and including a link to your site in your signature to article marketing campaigns; but one particularly effective strategy which you may not have given a lot of thought to is using infographics to build inbound links to your site, thereby boosting your standing in search results.

Infographics are not anything new; for that matter, neither is using infographics as part of a link building campaign. However, there is a very good reason that they’re still a popular tool for link building: they work. A well designed infographic which features attractive graphic design, easily digested information and appeals to the interests of readers/and or offers readers entertainment value will almost always be successful at building inbound links. Case in point: OK Cupid. The popular dating site posted an infographic which resulted in roughly 600 inbound links (and well over 1,000 posts on Twitter) in the space of about a year. Not an overnight explosion in links, to be sure, but definitely a much faster rate of growth in inbound links than you’d see from virtually any other type of link building strategy.

It’s already a good thing to be able to build links to your site, but another advantage of using infographics as part of your link building strategy is that these links tend to be from relevant websites (that is to say, high value inbound links). Any inbound link is better than nothing, but a link from a site whose content is at least partially relevant to your own is of course better.

Building Effective Infographics

There is a lot of room for creativity with infographics and no two are alike, or at least they don’t need to be. If you want your infographic to go viral and end up creating a large number of inbound links, you should take full advantage of the creative freedom that the format gives you; just don’t let it get out of hand and let the aesthetic appeal of your infographic overshadow it’s other important function: imparting interesting, useful and/or entertaining information.

It should go without saying, but any information in your infographic should be well-researched, fact checked and above all, accurate. There’s nothing which can undermine your site’s credibility quicker than providing your readers with unreliable information.

Although there are other factors to be considered when you’re putting together an infographic as part of your site’s link building campaign, there is one which is important enough that it cannot be omitted here – make sure that your infographic is keyword focused; the topic of your infographic will, in large part, determine the kind of anchor text which is used in links to your site, so choose carefully.

To review: make it attractive, make it informative, make it relevant and make it easy for your readers to share. If you keep all of this in mind, you’ll be able to create an infographic which gives your site a leg up in the SEO department.

Link Diversity – Link Building for Success | Practical SEO

warner — Mon, 23 May 2011 05:10:31 +0000

Link diversity, especially haveing links form a variety of different domains is essential

Link building is a valuable weapon in website ranking, so why do a half-assed job? Why do people concentrate only on social bookmarks, comments? Because it is easy right, but at the same time it gets us no results. With Google Panda in place we need links from trusted domains and from quality pages, in fact this was always the case, but now it is more obvious than ever. Diversifying your link profile is very important, so let’s throw a few tips regarding link diversity.

50+ Tools to Automate Your Link Building – Search Engine Watch (#SEW)

warner — Mon, 23 May 2011 05:07:10 +0000

Automate link building as long as you can keep your quality goals in perspective

Are you a human link builder? If so, ask yourself this: "if a robot link builder existed, what would I still be able to do that it could not?"

Analyze a complex backlink profile and distinguish quality links from spammy ones? Check. Write a funny personal email that gets someone’s attention in the right way? Check. Decide when a phone call might be the best outreach method? Check.

And what could the robot do faster and better than you?

Find every link to a site? Check. Automatically search through SERPs and connect each result to external data? Check. Automatically search for contact information on three different pages and score how closely it matched a person’s name? Check. Automatically pre-populate data fields in a CRM? Check.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase "build on your strengths," the lesson for link building is this: that we need to automate as much of the routine, "robot work" as possible, and spend more time doing what we’re best at: being sentient human link builders.

In this post, we’ll look at tools that can help link builders shift their workload to computers as much as humanly possible.

Six Critical Secrets From Competitive Link Analysis

warner — Mon, 23 May 2011 04:40:50 +0000

Here is a good outline of the main tactics needed to create an effective link building campaign.

Find potential link opportunitiesLook for sites that link to all or most of your competitors. This suggests either, a directory, a publication or an authority in your industry. These will be important sites to target.

Assess how difficult they will be to beatCount the number of domains that point to their site. Competitors that have a good spread of links from many relevant domains as well as some gems from major news and authority sites will be the hardest to compete against.

Uncover artificial linking strategiesLook for similar IP addresses. The domains linking to your competitor may be different but they may come from the same IP address (you can identify this with Optilink). If the addresses are the same then your competitor is creating domains names to boost link popularity artificially.

Identify business relationshipsDomains that have multiple links to a single competitor. This suggests that either they have a business relationship, or your competitor owns both domains, or your competitor is buying links.

Explore competitors public relations activityPay particular attention to links from news sites, ezines or news distribution services. If these appear regularly then your competitor is active in online public relations – a look at their published press releases will give you an idea of what they’re up to.

Think how your competitor got the linkTry to understand the reasons the links were established. Was it because of a newsletter your competitor’s

Best Way To Get Great Links

warner — Tue, 10 May 2011 13:14:46 +0000

This is really simple. Guest Blog. Write original articles and put them on blogs that are about the same subject as your blog.

That's it. Sure you can work your way up the PR ladder getting on better and better blogs as time goes by. Sure you can figure out better ways to make connections to different blogs.

Yes some niches will be easier than others. I work different niches because I offer Guest blogging as part of an advanced seo marketing program to some of my clients. The results are great I must say. Sometimes I can do fine just using mainly http://myblogguest.com My Blog Guest forum, but sometimes I have to do searches and contact blogs directly.

Getting to the real A-list blogs will take some work done for referrals and they are usually very specific on what they want.

It may seem a grind at first but relevant links in original content is literally worth hundreds of what many people waste their time one for links.

This method is really Google update proof too because it is based on quality original content and is not any part of a content farm.

What is your best link building method?

Dofollow Social Profile Sites With High PR

warner — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:39:36 +0000

These dofollow profile links are on a some high profile well known sites. There is much room for active participation in many of these sites. I undestand some people have been known to make multiple accounts but in truth a person will get better results if they make a completly filled out profile and participate at least some in whatever community is there.

Some of these sites have user blogs and those can be used much like article directories, or like Flickr have other types of content. Coupled with Guest Blogging , Videos, Article Directories, Bookmarking and blog commenting a person would get some pretty effective results. There are more ways, of course, but this stuff does work.

I have found it useful for driving targeted traffic to place content relevant to what I offer in these types of blogs. When I do a good job of pre-selling can work well to bring people who are already interested. Some people also build links to the profile with tools like Backlink Energizer

Quality trumps quantity in traffic as well as links.

Thanks to Jeff Quipp at Search Engine People for doing the research to evaluate these sites.
