A Beginner’s Guide to Building Links Through Content Marketing

A Beginner’s Guide to Building Links Through Content Marketing | Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tips and Advice | Scoop.it

Content marketing shouldn’t be done just for links. That said, if you are developing quality content, your content marketing can – and should – include the acquisition of quality links. In the day and age of Google algorithm changes and penalties, the real question isn’t just how to get links for your content, but rather how to get links for your content that won’t get you penalized. In this guide, we’re going to look the best ways to get links to your content, and how to assess the quality of those opportunities before pursuing them.



Via Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com
Bill Gassett's insight:

As the article mentions when you push content it should not be done for the purpose of getting links although that is a side benefit of providing great content that people WANT to link to. The article takes you through some places you may not thought about where you can provide link backs to your content including Yahoo Voices.

Does Website Speed Affect Your Ranking? (infographic)

Does Website Speed Affect Your Ranking? (infographic) | Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tips and Advice | Scoop.it
Have you ever been to a slow site and it felt like it took hours to load? You look down at your computer clock and really only 30 seconds have gone by. That's just the user experience on a slow site- the real question is “Does your website speed effect your ranking?”
Will your slightly slower site be penalized by Google and other search engines when you clients are even looking for you?
In this easy to understand graphic, we see that 1 second makes all the difference in the world. And after just 6 short weeks of poor load times, your site can lose 75% of it’s traffic to that page.
If you have a low ranking you might want to follow some of the Google Guidelines to pre-load your most popular pages to increase your site’s overall performance.

Social Media Friendly Content that Boosts SEO: 8 Tips for Bloggers

Social Media Friendly Content that Boosts SEO: 8 Tips for Bloggers | Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tips and Advice | Scoop.it

“If Social media and SEO fit together like peanut butter and jelly, then content is the bread that holds them together.” ~  Lee Odden:


Using content to enhance search engine optimization (SEO) is about creating “stuff” — on your website, blog, and on social media platforms — in such a way that the content (and thus your website or Facebook Page) appear higher in search rankings. Statistics from analytics company Searchmetrics show that seven of the 10 most important factors in SEO ranking currently come from social media:

Googlenutella+, Facebook Shares, Facebook Total, Facebook Comments, Facebook Likes, Pinterest and Tweets. According to this same report, Facebook shares are as influential as the number of backlinks.


Here are 8 tips for creating social-media friendly content that ranks:

Bill Gassett's insight:

While the advice in this article is sound the one thing that jumps out at me is the continued notion that social sharing DIRECTLY effects SEO rankings! Folks it does not! The people that continuously put out these reports are the same people that make info-graphics they want you to write articles about and imbed their info-graphics on your site.


How many times does Google itself have to tell us that Facebook shares, likes and tweets do not increase SEO?

Social Signals (Facebook Likes and Retweets) are good to have albeit Google assigns minimal SEO value. Social Shares on the other hand whether they come from your Google+ personal profile or Brand page or even your YouTube channel are likely to prompt Google to consider the content's rel=author more of an authority than those who get a bunch of likes, retweets and plusones.

The bottom line is that it is still OK to blog you just need to do it for the right reasons and not specifically for SEO. It is usually pretty easy to spot those that are doing it just for that.
