Comments on: Link Baiting: Do you control the link flow or do you 301 it all? http://wiep.net/talk/social-media/link-baiting-do-you-control-the-link-flow-or-do-you-301-it-all/ Link Building Blog Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:13:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Yura http://wiep.net/talk/social-media/link-baiting-do-you-control-the-link-flow-or-do-you-301-it-all/comment-page-1/#comment-45832 Yura Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:14:59 +0000 http://wiep.net/talk/social-media/link-baiting-do-you-control-the-link-flow-or-do-you-301-it-all/#comment-45832 Actually, I had recommended 301ing all the content, too, once, only to realize the mistakes you have outlined. It is truly gruesome user experience and bad marketing, too. One thing one might do is to add relevant links not only from the body of the post, but also from the sidebar to other linkbaits. Though such links get low traffic (1-3%), you might get loyal visitors and links out of it (untested, though). What do you think about this?

Thanks for the article. I can refer to it now that there is an objective 3rd party who came to the same conclusion. Hi there-

Seriously, SEO professionals think they understand the user experience, and then they go gonzo with 301 redirects.

Thanks for the article. I can refer to it now that there is an objective 3rd party who came to the same conclusion.

From page domainxyz.com/post.html to domainxyz/optimized.html. Should have mentioned this... In that case, I completely agree with you Patrick ;)
