Link Building this Week (06.2008)
A great post I came across last week was Neyne’s post about unconventional link attributes. He discusses the temporal element of link value and illustrates this with the results of an experiment he performed. Although it’s (like Neyne states as well) not a sterile experimenting environment, the graphs are pretty interesting to see.
Another great post is Derek Edmond’s recap of Eric Enge’s link session at the SEO meetup in Arlington last week.This post offers a few great tips that you can use to improve your link profile, such as 6 tips to personalize your link request.
And also:
- David F. listed 8 metrics for judging the value of a link.
- Eric Ward asks himself (and others) if linking experts should go underground.
- Tim Nash dives into link bombing and Google bombing.
- Chris G provides some excellent tips on how to get more bookmarks and better links.
- Have you ever wondered how you can measure the result of a linkbaiting campaign? Use these 5 metrics provided by Chris Winfield.
- David Wallace explains how you can check if a directory listing will have any value.
- Li Evans asks if Google can FINALLY come up with something official about nofollow.
- Building links for a B2B site? Justilien has some great tips.
- Michael Martinez talks about linking theory axioms.
- Aaron Wall shows how you can determine the effectiveness of your internal link structure.
- And the last one is Eric Enge’s interview with Adam Lasnik (which is mainly about links).

Weip – thanks for referencing and linking my post. I am glad that you found it valuable for your readers!
While it wasn’t written this past week, I daresay that I came up with something original on using N grams to vary your anchor text in the recent past. All that being said, I missed a bunch of good ones that you obviously didn’t, so thanks, Wiep!
Oh, err, the n grams thing … that’s here: http://seoroi.com/blogroll/link-buying-ugc-social/
Hey Weip,
Good recap. Would you mind adding http://www.LinkBuildingBestPractices.com to your radar?
Thanks,
Arnie
Of course next time I will spell Wiep correctly:)
Derek; You’re welcome
Gab; Nice post, I don’t know why I missed that one though…
Arnie; Call it a coincidence, but I stumbled upon your website earlier this week and it sure is on my radar. Oh, and you’re certainly not the first one to spell Weip in stead of Wiep :P
Wonderful post!
It’s really worth the read because I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing Wiep!
Nice little round up you got there. I had not come across Neyne’s post yet, so big thanks for pointing out such a gem.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for the mention!
thanks for this! great post. i’ve been lurking ever since you started. congratulations on a great blog.
When you first add a link or a bunch of links the site in question jumps in indexes quite rapidly to go down slowly and stabilize at a lower position later on. You should read the whole article to get more insight.
