Combating Unnatural Links

be sent via Webmaster Tools

reconsideration only if you have seen negative impact

Link strategy
The only way to future-proof your link strategy is to make links a natural
by-product of your normal marketing strategy

As you might expect, this isn’t easy. How many links does your marketing
strategy deliver every month at the moment?

If you sit back and wait for links to arrive you won’t get enough to rank


Relationships
Most agency/client link building relationships work like this

It should work something like this

Technical Reputation
SEO Management

Every marketing task can be performed by the client or the agency – usually an agile agency will
fill the gaps where the client doesn’t have in-house resource


Outreach


Breaking Down A Niche
Example – Film and movie bloggers:

• Film news
• Independent film
• Horror
• Action
• Film reviews
• Film making

A single generic approach simply wont cut it across all of these niches, we
need to tailor our outreach to each mini-niche


Open Site Explorer


SearchMetrics

These are the top, socially visible posts

Great indication as to the content that the niche wants

Leveraging Links
• Interviews

• Translation

• Commentary

• Giveaways

• Flattery

• Sharing


Examples
• Bingo – Mummy Blogger Awards

• Trailers from Cinema Chain

• Expert opinion – financial spread betting

• Data trends from diamond retailer

Our news strategy

Base content around current
events

Comment and react to industry
changes and news

Incorporate your social
activities into you content


Doesn’t matter if links are paid, it
matters how they appear.


Editorial Discretion

“I would draw a little bit of daylight between paid directories that
exercise no editorial discretion and those like Yahoo, who have a
high editorial threshold.”
Matt Cutts - Feb 2012

We need to be focusing on building links that very few people can get,
links that clearly show editorial discretion has taken place.


Sharing Links
• Good content always gets more shares than links

• Social shares should be built at the same time as creating links

• Links acquired should be shared

If a piece of content doesn’t warrant a share, it doesn’t warrant a link


Tweeting


Recommended Tools


Summary
• Bad links have to be removed
• A natural link profile should be crafted
• Link building should be a bi-product of wider marketing activity
• Links acquired should have editorial value
• Find something to leverage
• Invest in the right tools
