Visit imninjas.com or contact [email protected] today! INTRODUCTION A LINK BUILDING CHECKLIST TO EARN MORE & BETTER LINKS AUTHOR Anna Crowe If you want to rank well in organic search, you need links. Google has told us as much, revealing that links are one of the top 3 ranking factors. Quality links increase the overall authority and trustworthiness of a page. Quality links to multiple pieces of content regularly can increase domain-wide rankings with time. Not too long ago, creating links went through a few dark seasons where almost every link we built was boring and spammy. No personalized email, content not needed, and only a dab of brand mentions. Link building was all about quantity instead of quality. But then the term “link building” began to transform. We heard new terms like link earning, link giving, link acquisition, and relationship building. Link earning is about building relationships, being a part of a community, and developing content ideas that are actually worth sharing. This emphasis on quality, meaning, and engagement has restored balance to the link building universe. But you also need a diverse link profile. That’s where this link building checklist comes in. INTRODUCTION What follows is a recap of everything we will discuss in our link building guide so far, with tasks broken down by month and week. Rather than rehashing all the same information again, I’ve provided links to the relevant chapters of the guide so you can get more detailed information about whichever topics interest you the most. Happy link building! Do Not Pass Go Without Technical SEO Ask yourself these questions: What happens when you build links to a poorly built website? Can you rank a website based on backlinks alone? This might be a me problem, but I’m willing to bet that I’m not the only one that leans to “nothing” and “no.” The colossal pool that is search engines fills up with fast, mobile- friendly, clean websites. Will Google rank your poorly designed website with high-quality backlinks? INTRODUCTION Or, will Google rank your fast, mobile-friendly, clean website with high-quality backlinks? Do the technical SEO work before you start to worry about backlinks. Or, work in tangent to get both done at the same time. Plus, a webmaster is more likely to link back to your website naturally if it’s technically sound with a clean user experience. Breakdown of Link Building Activities I created this handy yearly calendar of all the link building activities listed in the chapters below. Here is a link to the template. Please make a copy for yourself INTRODUCTION to edit. QUARTERLY Here are the link building tasks I complete monthly: Backlink Audit Export a full list of your backlinks from Google Search Console. Then, begin to manually review the sites, adding irrelevant, low-quality sites to your disavow file. Update Disavow List I always review my disavow file quarterly. It’s a good chance to remove sites or add more to the list. Competitor Backlink Analysis Every quarter, I pull the backlink data for three of my top competitors. I analyze the data and build a list of sites that would be good for my clients. MONTHLY These are the link building tasks you should plan to do every month: Email Outreach Depending on the size of the site, I aim to pitch at least 10 new sites per month along with maintaining my ongoing editorial relationships. This also includes emailing websites I’ve mentioned or linked to in my articles. Brand Mention Monitoring Set-up Google Alerts or mention tracking to review competitor mentions, brand mentions, and even your INTRODUCTION CEO’s mentions are a good place to start. Guest Blogging Writing authentic, high-quality guest blog posts is a great way to earn links. The goal is to build ongoing content relationships with editors to maintain a monthly contribution. Content Syndication If you’ve for really amazing content, like Larry Kim-worthy style content, you can work with publishers to syndicate content that you’ve already written. Win-win! Testimonials & Reviews Testimonials and reviews are an untapped link building activity that is easiest done monthly. If you provide a testimonial for another brand, you could gain a link back to your website. Spread the love! Directories Directories are not so outdated when it comes to gaining foundational links. After you’ve submitted your site, you still want to continue to monitor the NAP. Affiliate Links Growing a loyal, affiliate audience is another awesome way to start building links. Plus, your backlink’ers will add a little coin to their bank too! Broken Link Building An oldie, but a goodie! Broken link building is one of the quickest and easiest ways to gain backlinks. Finding a broken competitor link is like finding a burrito with your INTRODUCTION name on it! Content As we all know, content still reigns supreme. But, using ego bait, controversy, or data to create quality content that will generate backlinks naturally, is one of the best ways to use content to build links. Charities & Events Charities and events are another good way to build backlinks. By donating your time or money to charity, you’ll get lucky with a .org or .gov backlink. And, with events, you could co-sponsor an event. Plus, you’ll gain INTRODUCTION access to other sponsors that make for quick wins. Breakdown of Weekly Link Building Activities WEEK 1 & 2 Link builder runs an internal backlink audit and competitor backlink audit to identify topics for different verticals of link building. WEEK 3 Brainstorm article titles for creating content. Send article titles to the client for approval. WEEK 4 Prospect link opportunities. Build out email templates for client approval. Find opportunities for co-citation. Outreach to 50 high-quality prospects. WEEK 5 Start writing Get the client to review content. Here is an example of my favorite link building spreadsheet.

A surface-level audit at the outset can help you identify any major issues affecting your transition to HTTPS. Major issues can arise later on when the purchase of the SSL certificate did not initially take into account what the site would be doing later.

This is why it pays to be mindful of the options you choose during the purchase of your SSL certificate because it can negatively affect your site later.

  • The Algorithmization of the Hyperlink.” Computational Culture 3 (2013)
    Citation: Helmond, A. “The Algorithmization of the Hyperlink.” Computational Culture 3 (2013). http://computationalculture.net/article/the-algorithmization-of-the-hyperlink The Algorithmization of the Hyperlink Anne Helmond, University of Amsterdam Abstract This study looks at the history of the hyperlink from a medium-specific perspective by analyzing the technical reconfiguration of the hyperlink by engines and platforms over time. Hyperlinks may be seen as having different roles belonging to specific periods, including the role of the hyperlink as a unit of navigation, a relationship marker, a reputation indicator and a currency of the web. The question here is how web devices have contributed to constituting these roles and how social media platforms have advanced the hyperlink from a navigational device into a data- rich analytical device. By following how hyperlinks have been handled by search engines and social media platforms, and in their turn have adapted to this treatment, this study traces the emergence of new link types and related linking practices. The focus is on the relations between hyperlinks, users, engines and platforms as mediated through software and in particular the process of the algorithmization of the hyperlink through short URLs by social media platforms. The important role these platforms play in the automation of hyperlinks through platform features and in the reconfiguration of the link as database call is illustrated in a case study on link sharing on Twitter. 1 Introduction The hyperlink as a key natively digital object (Rogers 2013, 13) is considered to be the fabric of the web and in this role has the capacity to create relations, constitute networks and organize and rank content.

RDF data has been extensively deployed describing various types of resources in a structured way. Links between data elements described by RDF models stand for the core of Semantic Web. The rising amount of structured data published in public RDF repositories, also known as Linked Open Data, elucidates the success of the global and unified dataset proposed by the vision of the Semantic Web. Nowadays, semi-automatic algorithms build connections among these datasets by exploring a variety of methods. Interconnected open data demands automatic methods and tools to maintain their consistency over time. The update of linked data is considered as key process due to the evolutionary characteristic of such structured datasets. However, data changing operations might influence well-formed links, which turns difficult to maintain the consistencies of connections over time.

  • ABSTRACT COLEY, TOBY FRANKLIN. Wikis in The
    ABSTRACT COLEY, TOBY FRANKLIN. Wikis in the Teaching of Writing: Purposes for Implementation. (Under the direction of Chris M. Anson). Throughout the documented history of the teaching of writing, educators have engaged in various methods through which to guide student learning in the textual medium. In recent years, the digital age has provided a plethora of educational opportunities from long-distance learning and virtual courses, to course management systems, blogs, and wikis. The wiki has emerged as a growing technology with the potential to transform the rhetoric of the writing classroom. The present project seeks to further the research available on wikis in the teaching of writing. This study is both definitional and explorational. The questions it seeks to address include: how are wikis being used in educator’s classrooms; to what purposes are the wikis being used; in what ways are wikis being used? To answer some of these questions, various instructor survey responses were evaluated and incorporated into this thesis. The six main purposes for which wikis are being used in education that are identified in this study are 1) collaboration, 2) facilitation of work, 3) audience extension, 4) knowledge building/reflecting, 5) effective writing, and 6) multimodal literacy. After gathering data on the above purposes, this research discusses the results of the data and considers future research for integrating wiki technology into the teaching of writing.

  • Optimising Websites for Higher Search Engine Positioning
    BUILDING BETTER RANKINGS: OPTIMISING WEBSITES FOR HIGHER SEARCH ENGINE POSITIONING A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Information Management at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by PETER GERAINT MASON September 2004 Abstract The rapid growth of the World Wide Web has seen a profusion of websites on every conceivable subject. Search engines have developed to make sense of this chaos for users. Most search engines use automated programs known as crawlers or spiders to find web pages by following hyperlinks and indexing text. These results are then ranked according to a relevance algorithm in response to a user’s query. Many website operators seek to improve the search engine rankings of their sites by a variety of means, collectively known as search engine optimisation. These approaches range from simple principles of good design to more duplicitous means such as cloaking, keyword stuffing and link trees. An extensive literature review explores a variety of themes surrounding search engines in general, and search engine optimisation in particular. Following this, an experiment involving keyword density analysis of a sample of nearly 300 web pages is presented. Statistical analysis reveals the contribution made by a number of factors (including document length, keyword density and PageRank) to a web page’s search rankings in the Google search engine. 1 Acknowledgements There are several people I would like to acknowledge for their help and advice during the course of this dissertation. I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Mark Sanderson for his support and advice, and for being patient with my writer’s block.
