Brad, these are common sense rules and most likely “evergreen” ones too.

@Hanif: Link building works best when you get natural links (links that you don’t pay for or are not exchanged) If Google finds out that you have participated in a link exchange or link farm, your site may get banned. Matt Cutts explains in this video how you can build natural links: http://blog.directorymaximizer.....-building/

I only recently discovered blog comment linking. If and if only done properly, it can’t generate quite some valuable inbound links. And it’s cheap.

I have been experimenting with this very same thing on multiple different fronts. Link building I think has taken a back burner to google lately but only time will tell. Thanks for the good read.

Your link to the SEO blog we should keep our eye on doesn’t seem to be there as of 2/8/09.

I thought I would let you know. Nice and informative site by the way.

I agree with blogs seem the way to go. It seems as if some SEO stay away from blogs. I have seen a lot of websites rank better with a blog, especially those using your blog.

Thanks for sharing. Search engine optimization is indeed one of the most crucial areas in Internet marketing, it is a perfect bridge between technology and business.

“Deep Linking” is an excellent way to shine a little new light on an older post that never quite seemed to get its due share of exposure. Sometimes the very blog entries that you’re most proud of are the ones that seem to go unnoticed…

I like to use “deep linking” in the “website” box when posting comments on blogs. Linking directly to an individual post on your blog (rather than the home page) is a great way to direct visitors to an article that’s specifically related to the topic on which you’re commenting.

You should “deep link” back to your own older posts from within newer posts whenever appropriate. Not only does this give search engines another path to dig into, but, more importantly, it prompts your readers to explore your older posts.

Provided that you don’t go overboard with this, it’s also a good idea to update older blog posts to provide a link forward from them to newer, related posts. I’m not talking about doing a major overhaul a la George Lucas, just a minor tweak. I don’t do this often, but on posts where I have done so, I’ve indicated it with a little red “Update” notation. (You can take a look at my FiveFingers For Your Ten Toes article for an example. Oooh, see that? I just “deep linked!”)

Ryan, I am really glad that these posts have been of help to you. While these are not “out of this world” tips, they still are basic things that many people ignore and can make the difference between success and failure. Congratulations on your “SEO achievement”!

Alex,

Thanks so much for these SEO tips. I’m in a niche where I myself don’t want to recognized as much as the content of my blog. I want people to find good teaching on the topic, not recognize me.

So at first it was hard for me to dive into wanting to optimize my blog, but your posts convinced me of the importance and I just wanted to say thanks, because in about four days after starting to optimize (I’ve always written good, thorough content, using the all-in-one SEO pack, writing a good desciription, etc) my blog has now climbed from Google search page 9 to page 6 and is still climbing. So thanks so much for your tips, they work!

@Alina: Thanks, the series will continue.

@stfalx: My opinion on do follow link for comment authors is not favorable. Although, the goal of doing it is noble, it encourages spam and worthless comments. I don’t like that, but I know that my best commentators deserve some rewards. If you leave a good comment, you’ll notice by the fact that it gets me into conversation. Also, some commentators are rewarded through links in certain posts, wherever they fit the topic. I sincerely believe that a natural in-text link is much more powerful and keeps the comment quality higher.

You are totaly right as usual. I allways enjoy reading your blog. I have a question for you, if a plugin is created that erases the nofollow rel from the link of a comment authour would that help the author and if yes, would that help the site that has this plugin? I have my seo tricks, but mostly in web developing, not in linkage and stuff.

I have to say, these services offering the world for a few cents do annoy me. They are offered for most fields, from SEO to PR and Marketing and many more. The quality is almost inexistent and still, when faced with normal prices, clients feel the urge to go for the cheap magical solution.

Great collection of link building tips! I hope you get to expand all these topics in the Sundays to come
