Page 2 - Link Building 101

Thanks again guys. Here's another one for you; Microsites and SEO

Why not put more than 1 link per article? I publish lots of articles, and I always promote at least 2 pages, the second page being an inner page or an external page which contains my link. I think this way I am exploiting the power of the article page well. Am I harming my efforts by doing this?

ya dear this this is the very gooood we discussssss over matter. in the forum.......

Not sure how to do all this. Was looking for a place for introductions, but didn't see it. I'm impressed with all the SEO informaiton here. I don't even know if this post of mine will be seen, but nevertheless scuba guy, I've at least linked up here. Keep up the good work...Rev Rolly

Can I ask a favor? Can we not quote Garys post anymore? I mean it is pretty large and hard to scan through all that to read replies. Not that anyone is going to read this before replying but just thought i'd say it

I was thinking the same thing...

Can I also request that no one calls another poster "Dear" anymore in this thread?

Yes dearest.

Firstly, I would like to say thank for providing some many insights into Link buidling which will not doubt assist mew greatly with increasing PR and driving organic traffic.

At the risk of offending those who have far superior SEO knowledge and skills to me (including you), I was wondering whether you could assist me with a problem I have encountered?

I am an absolute novice when it comes to SEO and link building and I have posted a thread explaining my issue but have had limited responses......then I thought why not ask the master!! If you're going to learn you may as well learn from the best!!

Anyway, this is the thread I have posted:

I am new to the SEO and link budiling process and would like some advice on my current situation.

When I type link: wwweasy-budgetingcom into Google search, Google lists 11 links. The web sites that link to easy-budgetingcom vary from 2 below PR3 and the rest PR4 and above (highest PR is isnarecom with PR6). Most of these links relate to articles I have written about budgeting, included in money/finance related sections of the web sites. These articles are also listed on my web site's home page.

When I visit Google webmaster or web sites that have tools which assess the number of external links, these links do not register?

What confuses my even more is with Google webmaster's index stats the tool which assesses the "Pages that link to your site's front page" the function does not have a space between link and the web site i.e. it is listed as link:wwweasy-budgetingcom. I have found that when the space is present (as written above in the second paragraph, the links appear but when the space is not present (as per Google webmaster's descritpion), Google says the search does not match any documents?

Can someone explain why Google is not registering my inbound links and how I can ensure Google does recognise the links that I have.

Even though I am a novice when it comes to link building and webmaster functions there are some, what I believe are quality links, that don't seem to be recognised by Google which may be or probably is impacting on my ability to develope a decent PR

Is anyone able to provide some insight into my problem or has anyone had a similar experience that they have been able overcome?

Thanks for any suggestions

I used a few of the suggested back link checkers you listed and both indicate zero results for google??

If you think I am asking too much, I will fully understand.

Can I just add what an absorbing post you made Gary - extremely informative and full of little nuggets of gold.

A joy to read.

It doesn't make sense that they aren't showing in webmaster central. Have you tried the http version?

Go into webmaster central and be sure to associate your http and www page versions. Also install an xml sitemap if you haven't already, then submit it for a crawl (although its doubtlful this will do anything for your situation)

Google has mentioned adding links to internal page, if they haven't already (I dont get much time to spend playing around and have ppl that take care of these things)

Let me kn ow if any of this changes your situation.

Hi Team,

I'm new to the SEO business, so excuse any silly questions. I have the impression you're a friendly bunch, only too willing to impart your encyclopedic knowledge, ...I hope you don't prove me wrong!;-)

ok, I very much enjoyed GarytheScubaGuy's article, as it seems to hint that I'm on the right tracks with this link building lark....(100 email requests a day though!?!? wow, I've got to change my strategy!) But I'm stumped with the first of the '50 other ways to build links'... what's a 101 list?

Garythescubaguy, I visited your site but can't figure what these PPC 101 and 102 lists are...

sorry for ignorance team.
Regards
