How to Backlink Large A Authority Site

Hey everyone!

I have been working on MNS for a while now, but I have found a wonderful niche I plan on targeting in the coming weeks. There are literally thousands of low competition keywords in this niche and they are all closely related. I have the perfect background in this area to build a large authority site.

However, I am trying to figure out how to do my link building for this site. Considering that I will be adding ~15 long articles a day, I do not think that the same strategies I use on my MNS will be viable. The costs would become staggering after a relatively short amount of time.

I am wondering, how do yall handle building links for sites that add a lot of content daily? I have been reading about Fraser's Method for getting traffic to websites, but not working on link building goes against everything I have done in SEO for the past year.

Anyone have experience with Fraser's method of just adding lots of content, and not worrying about link building?

Any insights yall can share will be greatly appreciated!

    There isn't anything wrong with adding 15+ pages of content to a site per day, but I would still space it out a bit more, that way you can get new, fresh content to you site over a longer period of time.

    Even if you plan on writing them I would still time them to release just a few a day.

    If you are paying someone to do all of this backlinking then I would look at another route. There are plenty of automated tools that if USED PROPERLY can do some pretty good things for your sites. So I would look into that.

    When starting out, I would have it so that each new post/page gets pinged and submitted to some bookmarking sites automatically. You can do this with ping.fm + hootsuite ( you attach your rss feed to hootsuite and then each time a new post appears its will notify ping.fm to bookmark those. This can be set to hourly, or daily, or however often you feel comfortable ).

    Once that is done I would gently work on either a single keyword at a time ( single page ) or a group of pages/keywords.

    With some software such as UAW, you can put in 4 URLS per article. So that could give you 4 keywords per article you could work on. Plus with the multiple resource box feature you can add in a bunch more with the different variations of the resource box.

    And remember to interlink pages/posts together, this can also help in your rankings.

    There is tons that you can do, but this is a good start.

    Yes I too would space it out as much as possible. For launch, you can add a bunch, but then you schedule your posts so they go out and the Googlebot keeps coming to your site.

    First things first with a large site, you make sure your internal structure is tight. Do not miss any opportunity to inter-link and ensure your homepage points to the most important content.

    There's many ways and combos you can tackle it. I like to have to a nav menu in the header thats readable by the SEs (no scripts). You link to your main categories here. On the article pages, you can should have a breadcrumbs trail that includes a link to the category that article belongs to as well as to the homepage. Down into the content now, you link to posts as appropriate. As new posts are published, you go back to the old ones and update where necessary. There's plugins that can do it automatically, but I'd avoid it since you don't want to look spammy.

    And then at the end of the article or in the sidebar, you can probably through in a related posts widget.

    For external link building, most of your links will need to go to the homepage and categories. Identify the articles which have the highest no. of searches, and backlink them too. After a while posts without external links will start ranking on their own. Even brand new posts will rank.

      Quality authority sites don't work that way. You don't crank out 15 high quality articles a day and think your gonna be ranking for all those keywords. Google is gonna put duplicate content on them and most of those articles are not gonna rank for anything. For example: You can not build one page "paint red widget" another page "paint blue widgets". Google is going to throw all those into one keyword as "paint widgets". So your bettor off just making one quality article about painting widgets and be better off in the long run.

        Thanks for your input, but that isn't how this site will be set up. A closer approximation would be Ford Mustang, Ford Explorer, etc, etc

      If you wouldnt mind, could you elaborate a little more on the no script nav menu? I am not 100% sure I understand what that means? I am just now starting to really work on web design.

      You point about working on the interlinking is really solid. That is something that I know I am going to have to incorporate.

        I just meant that sometimes people go with a slick, fancy theme. That's fine, but sometimes designers may create a theme with no thought of SEO. If the theme you're using has those slidedown menus you need to ensure the search engines can read it.

          Thanks for clearing that up for me!
