| Feb 8, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | aabujamra | Do you know this "The Linkbuilding Network"? It seems that they analyze your profile and connect you by email with websites of similar profile that are also looking for linkbuilding. It looks very simple, is just a short form, I think it's worth the shot: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/… | |

Removed authorship (deprecated last year), fixed some links, added mobile-friendly note.

| Nov 14, 2012 at 10:21 | comment | added | Nat Ryall | @sergzach: A sitemap allows Google to crawl all of your content (even if it's poorly linked) and you can hint to Google about how important pages are and how often they should be updated. This helps ensure that all your content is evaluated for rankings, that you have maximum content coverage in results, and that your most important content is marked as such. | |
| May 17, 2012 at 15:09 | comment | added | sergzach | Are you sure that submitting sitemap does increase a position of a site? Or this is for the case when Google can't crawl all pages of your site? | |

| Sep 27, 2011 at 9:55 | comment | added | UpTheCreek | @NatRyall - can you provide more info (any maybe supporting links) regarding the 'Over time your domain will gain "trust"' statement. Do you just mean that over time you will acquire more incoming links? Or some other type of 'trust' mechanism? | |
| Sep 25, 2011 at 19:21 | comment | added | Fiasco Labs | Keep content unique and relevant to your website. Where most SEO inquirers fall down on the job. Looking for magic and keywords, they overlook the reality that good copywriting, editorial skills and content are needed. Write for your audience and Google will follow. | |
| Jul 26, 2011 at 9:49 | comment | added | DisgruntledGoat | @Tchalvak: Actually, nofollow is the way to handle untrusted links. That would almost certainly be from users, but not all users are necessarily untrusted. | |
| Jul 19, 2011 at 17:48 | comment | added | Kzqai | The way to handle user-written links is via <a rel='nofollow' these days. | |
| Nov 24, 2010 at 12:56 | comment | added | Petrus Theron | @John: Aren't rel=nofollow attributes ignored by Google now? | |
| Nov 4, 2010 at 20:57 | comment | added | Nat Ryall | @Lotus: No but I would put any user generated content, where I suspected excessive links to be, on a subdomain (which is a separate entity to the root domain to Google). In cases where you have a good userbase the content should far outweigh the potentially negative aspects of external links anyway. | |
| Nov 4, 2010 at 20:41 | comment | added | Lotus Notes | @Nat Ryall: Would you go so far as to prevent users from posting external links in comments? | |
| Nov 4, 2010 at 9:06 | comment | added | Nat Ryall | @Lotus: Because it's about quality more than quantity. Google "knows" when you're building links through affiliate networks generally, and they count for nothing (or sometimes against you). | |
| Nov 2, 2010 at 21:08 | comment | added | Lotus Notes | If you're giving a lot of referrals to another site, they just may help you in return. I don't see any reason to purposely avoid linking to other relevant sites. | |

| Jul 24, 2010 at 18:39 | comment | added | John Mueller | @Casebash: Don't worry about outbound links if the links are valuable to your content & to your users (but add a rel=nofollow if the links are ads). | |
| Jul 10, 2010 at 1:50 | comment | added | Casebash | Is keeping outgoing links low really a good idea? | |
