How and WHEN Links Help or HURT Your SEO.

How and WHEN Links Help or HURT Your SEO. | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From pinterest.com - June 11, 2013 8:53 PM

Links Are Not Born Equal
Some links come from pages that don't help your SEO (described on the left). Some links REALLY help your SEO (those from PR4 or above websites) and others hurt your SEO (links from spammy neighborhoods or link farms).

Post Panda a link from a PR8 or PR9 website could hurt to if it is all alone. A single link with the proper anchor text from such a highly ranked website must have social signals. Without Facebook likes, shares and other links that PR9 site will stick out like a sore thumb.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

If It Was Only This Easy :)
This infographic makes building a content marketing business sound so easy. To give credit, there is a big note at the bottom warning developing a scaled content engine isn't as easy as the rest of the infographic makes it sound (lol).

I would have added TESTING into step Five (my favorite testing tool is Optimizely.com).

15 SEO Writing Tips [5 Infographic, 5 Marty]

15 SEO Writing Tips [5 Infographic, 5 Marty] | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From leaderswest.com - May 1, 2013 8:15 PM

This is an infographic about current SEO thinking with tips and tools to help sites rank better on search engines.

 

Most people have a general idea of how to optimize their content for search engines. That search engine algorithms are proprietary and evolving inevitably causes different opinions on SEO. Of course there’s another school of thought that minimal keyword research and a green-light from a SEO plugin are enough to publish a piece.

 

This infographic challenges writers and some of the preconceived notions about SEO. It has a mixture of tips and tools to help you rank better in search...

Marty's 5 SEO Writing Tips

I've written about how to write for humans and spiders extensively at http://scenttrail.blogspot.com/2009/03/seo-writing-2.html , but here are 5 "quick SEO Writing tips" to add to this excellent infographic:

5 More SEO Writing Tips
* Write out "Stop words" (words like I, and, but, we, them, they spiders can't understand).
* Be specific - one way to write out "stop words" is to be specific.

* Short Sentences - helps eliminate connections (and, but, thus, so).

* Short paragraphs - helps humans read online.

* Use subheads (H2s) - Only ONE H1, but you can have multiple H2s.

 

You may not know about "stop words". I was taught to gauge quality score by putting total words on the top and stop words on the bottom. If you have 10 words with 5 stop words you would have a "quality" score of 2.

I don't have to do the math anymore. Now I WRITE long and edit out as many stop words as I can before copy sounds spamming. Seeing words like "it", "they" or "them" I rewrite by being specific about those things. Sometimes I have to use alternative words since to use the main word to replace a non-specific word like "it" may mean the copy is too keyword dense.

Any word with MEANING is better than a stop word. Write "natural" and train your editing eye to see and replace stop words, long sentences and dense paragraphs. Web writing is more Hemingway than Faulkner, so punch those words out :).

Great comment MizWalidah. I wold modify one point. Instead of "continually optimizing your meta keywords and tags" I would find ways to ping in fresh content such as User Generated Content from reviews or comments. Once a website I've SEOed is inside of Google's algorithm changing meta values that matter (mostly the page's title) can HURT SEO. I change titles VERY VERY carefully since the first rule of SEO is DO NO DAMAGE. The QDF (Quality Deserves Freshness) movement post Panda and Penguin LOVES it when a page pings, so I love the 1% of visitors who are willing to comment, review or otherwise contribute User Generated Content.

I DON'T play with meta nearly as much as you imply since to do so can look SPAMMY and cause real harm. The most important idea is creating content other people want to share. This is why I love GAMES and CONTESTS especially for bands. High engagement content such as Contests and Games can help with SEO and they can help create a distinct brand all bands need. Appreciate your enthusiasm, but be careful about meta (especially title) changes. Marty
