Link Q&A – Group Interview
Posted on | March 15, 2007 | Comments Off
Sugarrae did a group interview with 5 link developers. In her lineup is Eric Ward, Rand Fishkin, Roger Montti, Todd Malicoat and herself.
She had some great and highly relevant questions:
What are the factors you would take into account before buying a link from a directly contacted site (not a link broker or seller)?
In sectors where links are particularly tough to come by (retail, B2B in boring industries, etc.), what are content tactics you’ve taken to appeal to relevant sites in those industries (specific examples would rock)?
What is the current climate with paid links, and how can I navigate the paid links landscape so that I come out smelling like a rose on the other side?
Automating the link acquisition process: How far do you recommend going with it? What are the benefits and pitfalls of automation?
What are the top 3 over-rated and under-rated criteria for determining how valuable an individual link will potentially be to your site’s search engine rankings?
What’s the most common mistake you see people making in their link building activities?
