Let’s Talk About Backlinks

2. Do backlinks still matter? If so, why and how?
3. Anchors Away
4. Types of backlinks – Got em, Got em, Need em, Got em
5. Beware the Deadly Penguin
6. Cleaning out Your Closet
7. Finding what You Need
8. Good Content = Good Backlinks
9. What should you link to?
10. Backlink reporting?
11. Questions?
What are backlinks?
Backlinks or inbound links are any links to your
website or your client’s website from third party
domains.
Solicited or otherwise.

content/uploads/2013/05/backlinking-org.jpg
In a word…Yes.
Backlinks help to validate a website’s existence
and establish its authority.
But they admittedly may not matter as much as
they used to and you should certainly be careful
about how you procure them.
Do backlinks still matter?
Anchors Away
Anchor Text are the words through, which
backlinks are directed. Google pays attention to
anchor text in relation to the pages to, which the
links are pointed.
The same is true of anchor text used for internal
website links.
Anchor text should be keyword rich and varied.
e.g. Barrie condos, condos for sale in Barrie, Barrie
condominiums
Got Em, Got Em, Need Em, Got Em
Backlinks ya got.
Backlinks ya need.
Followed Backlinks – SEO and referral value
Non-Followed Backlinks – Referral value only
Types of Backlinks
Identifying your existing backlinks can be a tricky business and there is
no definitive source:
- gShift
- Blekko
- MOZ (formerly SEOMoz)
- Google Analytics referral data
- Download as a CSV file
- Verified backlinks (coming soon)
- Google Webmaster Tools
- Bing Webmaster Tools
Seeing What Ya Got
Beware the Deadly Penguin
Penguin 1.0 – April 24, 2012
Penguin 2.0 – May 22, 2013

London | 20–24 Feb, 2012 | #seslondon
Cleaning out Your Closet
• Identify potentially damaging backlink sources
• Make every effort to have the offending backlinks removed by
contacting the site owner directly
• If no response is received or backlinks are not removed within a
reasonable amount of time consider using the Disavow Tool in
Google Webmaster Tools
• Request removal of single URLs or entire domains
Finding What You Need
Organic backlink research
• Look for relevance, reputation and authority
• Start with the SERPs – gShift Top 50
• Competitors backlinks in gShift
• Industry sources
• Local sources
• Syndicated Press Releases (e.g. PRWeb.com)
• Varied Domains and Anchor Text
Optimized Content Marketing = SEO
Create and distribute/socialize value-added content
people want to read, like, share & link to.
Best Link Building for Local SEO: None
Inorganic versus Organic Backlinking Strategies: Getting
Back to Basics
Good Content Leads to Good Backlinks
What Should You Link To?
• The most relevant pages in relation to your
anchor text / keywords.
• Support pages with position / momentum.
• Cross link between pages via anchor text.
• Record backlink creation as activities
• Upload a CSV of backlinks from other data
providers (Google, MOZ)
• Validate backlinks as you create them (coming
soon)
• Report monthly or quarterly backlink growth
in Comparative SEO Report
Backlink Reporting in gShift

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. This brings us to our SEO software system, Web Presence Optimizer. It really is our secret weapon for SEO data. One of our favourite sayings at gShift is that it takes great SEO data to make great SEO decisions and achieve great SEO outcomes. If you’re trying to improve your web presence for organic search but you’re basing your decisions on crappy data, then you’re likely going to be unsuccessful. gShift’s software gives you all your great SEO data and in one place. You can log in whenever you want and see your data and your competitors data. You can add keywords and competitors too. We provide daily, page-level rank data from any google index and also yahoo, bing, youtube and now yandex. We collect page-level and network level social signals, backlink data on you and your competitors, you have multiple keyword research options, lots of competitive intelligence, we pull in your Google Analytics data and overlay it with SEO data for better intelligence and insights, you can track the Activities that your Client Success Manager has planned as well as what they have completed, and we have a full Reporting Module that you have access to whenever you need it…Let’s jump into your demo…
  2. Here’s why keyword research and closing the gap is an on-going process. This a model I created called the Five Forces of Keyword Competition. So we know that SEO is about Content but we can get even more granular than that… it is about a keyword and it is about competing for a keyword at the Google search box. People ask me how long I think it is going to take for them to out rank their competitor or how much content they have to write. My answer is “I have now idea”. Then I say, “If anyone ever gives you a specific timeframe or promises you a #1 rank, they’re lying because there are too many external factors and pressures on every keyword that you simply do not and cannot control”. The only way to address these threats is through an on-going Optimized Content Marketing strategy. Buyers…. Create social signals that impact rank.
  3. Here are some examples that I’ve seen in the past of clients closing their gap. The only way to close the gap is through consistent keyword research to understand highly-converting keywords.
