What is a Backlink Audit?

 

One of the things to look at is the exact match anchor tags that you have with those links that are pointing back to you.

 

One of the recent Google updates is looking at the % of websites that are pointing to you and the anchor text.

 

If you’re over optimized there it may be pulling down your traffic as well.

Twitter Analytics Feature Is Now Available

Twitter Analytics Feature Is Now Available | Backlinks for your Blog | Scoop.it
A Twitter analytics feature was spotted by at least two online marketers who posted their findings, however, there's been no official notice from Twitter.
Neil Ferree's insight:

SocialBro still seems to be the Best of Class Twitter Analytics Tool of Choice (unless) Twitter itself rolls out its own Twitter Analytics Dashboard which (if/when they do) will probably take the lead in this space and why using Twitter to build your social reach is not gonig away anytime soon.

11 Creative Ways to Build Links

11 Creative Ways to Build Links | Backlinks for your Blog | Scoop.it

Ricard Lloria's curator insight, April 2, 10:15 AM

Conclusion

The possibilities of link building are endless. You can build links in many different ways, you just have to be creative. What I’ve learned over the years is the best link builders are the creative ones.

Just look at Matt Inman, no one would have thought that he would rank a site for online dating, but he was able to do it in a matter of months because of how he built links.

All you have to do is think outside the box as the list above is just scrapping the surface. What other creative ways are you building links?

How to Create Stunning Infographics in 30 Minutes or Less | Backlinks for your Blog | Scoop.it

Learn how to create stunning infographics - without spending hundreds of dollars on a graphic designer or losing your mind - in just 30 minutes or less.

From word clouds to network data visualizations, infographics have become a primary format for content in a relatively short period of time. Although the ‘infographic’ is nothing new, its proliferation and evolution has been nothing short of exponential in the past few years.

Whether you love them or hate them, the rising popularity of infographics can’t be denied.

The Broken Link Building Bible

The Broken Link Building Bible | Backlinks for your Blog | Scoop.it
Excerpted from article intro:
"Broken link building may perhaps be the most effective, white-hat link building strategy in years. In particular, broken link building is appealing because the success of the campaign is directly proportional to how much good you do for the web. You profit only if you create good content to replace lost or abandoned content that webmasters still want to link to. This is the type of strategy that marries so many of the competing interests our industry: content vs. links, link earning vs link building, inbound vs. outbound, etc.

Below, I attempt to organize as much as I know about broken link building tactics. Throughout the piece I mention tools that will help you make the broken link building process scalable and less monotonous.

Its one thing to grab the mebed code from a YT or Vimeo video and drop it into your website. Its another thing to note of the top ranked videos and emulate what they did and how they did so you video will get more views.

Must-read article for anyone who has been investing any significant time or resources into link building efforts.


From the original article intro: "The Google Penguin updatehas changed the link building process forever. Gone are the days when it was easy to rank for desired keywords by building tons of links using exact keywords as the anchor text.


In the wake of Penguin, uncertain exactly where the thresholds and ratios are. Just how well distributed should our anchor text be in order to get the best results?


We have been busy with research on the subject and, not too long ago, discovered what Rand Fishkin at the SEOMoz blog had to say for their Whiteboard Friday series. Much of what we’ve observed has fallen in line with his predictions."
