My website was listed in no 1 in google for quite sometime for certain keywords. Everything change since penguin update. I hate this.

I have like 9000 backlink to my website. Is the backlink to my website still relevant? I plan to re-do SEO for my website again. What is high quality backlink? Is forum, press release, blog comment backlink consider good backlink?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

  • Inblues,

    The other members have some good tips. It is also important to get good placement of a link if you can. For example if you were to reach out to other webmasters to have a link to your site installed, they my just place it in a blog role or footer of a website. These are not the best quality links. Really you must aim to get them in contextual copy of the website for them to be of high quality. Also, a link from a website that has a similar theme or content as yours is also better.

      Definitely... Contextual links are the best one's. It is important to make your link look natural. Guest Posting is a nice way to get quality and niche relevant backlink.

    Hey Inblues!
    Yes back links are still relevant.
    The caveat is that if the link is from a link-farm or other site with low quality content or nothing but spinning ( in other words, sites that have been hammered by Penguin) they are going to be worse than no link at all. Dump them!
    In-text links from the highest ranked sites - in your niche - are among the best.
    You will have to look to see for yourself if a link from a particular site has any value. They can’t pass on any link juice if they don’t have any to begin with.
    Keyword content page rank is going to fluctuate just like the supply/demand numbers do for keywords over time.
    Part of the ranking is in keeping a page fresh with new content or comments or simply adding a good original graphic with appropriate alt tags.

    Bear in mind that after making changes your page may actually vanish until the search engine gets it spidered and re-indexed. Don’t be discouraged, it takes a bit of time.

    It's quite likely you'll have to start over man, as your site has probably been penalized. In a lot of cases this is irrecoverable.

    Back links are still very relevant, I won't restate what others have said but will add that you should be gaining back links all the time, just like you add fresh content to you pages.

      So, many got this wrong...

      High quality links, its the old age questions, but to sum it up in a few words, even though I could talk for days about it, is:

      A good back links structure has to contain DIVERSE links
      From AUTHORITY websites

      DIVERSE

      And of course another 200 or so factors

      Diverse - I see this all the time, people find a game plan, like posting on article directories or other such media and they stick with that (ok this is an extreme example) but they key here is to have links from a wide variety of websites, the more the better.

      The 3 B's - Buy Beg Borrow

      No, but seriously there are 1000+ great places to get links from.

      AUTHORITY

      Has nothing to do with do follow, no follow
      Has nothing to do with PR

      This has been proven time and time again.

      Anyway if you take anything for this, learn those 2 things and add the fact that one day YEARS from now after you have spent thousands and tens of thousand of dollars on a website, a google manual reviewer might visit your website and take everything away.

    *If you a looking to build a longer term brand and build authority in a niche you need to EARN back links.

    Content has been (and always will be) the foundation of building solid traffic, visitors and links. There are multiple ways to do this and create traffic quickly and EARN back links. I launched a WSO addressing these techniques.

    A couple of secrets from my WSO - create excellent consumable content in your niche or have someone write it for you (textbrokers.com or others). I recently had an article written for me. Once I received it I had to re-write sections but it gave me a starting point and it took a lot less time (maybe 15 minutes). I posted it to Social media news, strategy, tools, and techniques | Social Media Today (it doesn't cost anything to post here and anyone who has solid content can get an article published.) - here it is - http://socialmediatoday.com/mark-kit...-new-moneyball

    Check out the share rate on it - literally hundreds of shares on several social networks. In my profile I have a link to my social profiles and my website. I received hundreds of visitors - the article was on my site as well and I received several natural back links to it - as well as some of my other posts on my blog. What did all of this cost me? $8.00 for the article and 15 minutes of time.

    So that's one quick easy strategy for you....enjoy

    High quality backlinks are those that bring you targeted traffic.

    If you actually concentrate on that you'll find that ranking in the serps is a nice by-product.

    inblues,

    The definition of what a GOOD backlink is can vary over time (I'm sure you know Google changes the game ever so often nowadays), but what Penguin comprised of is still pretty much the same since it first hit. This checklist from market samurai might be useful and can serve as a reference as a starting guide to help recover from Penguin.

    http://download.marketsamurai.com/Be...nChecklist.pdf

    From experience, though, I've gotta say that the links ratios (optimized vs. non-optimized links) is the most important factor. If you clear that up, you should see a major improvement in your rankings.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
    Baggio.

    In search engine optimization (SEO) terminology, a quality backlink is a backlink that links to your Web site using your keywords or keyword phrase, and also appears on a Web site that has the same theme or similar content topic as your own Web site.

    Do you have any ideas of anchor text that you used for your website before panda/penguin? If you used only few phrases as anchor text, that may be the issue... to change your anchor text ratio, go for more links (may be blogging, forums, profiles, bookmarks or whatever [whitehat]) and vary your anchor text, use various texts to link back to your site...
