Wanted: Service If you can link a blog post to this newspaper article I'll give you a free link

Frog · Feb 27, 2011

If you can link to this from a blog post:

telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/consumertips/8348189/Meet-the-21st-century-savvy-saver.html

I will give you a free blog post back in return in any niche you like, I have lots of blogs.

Feel free to link to that article above from anywhere you can blog on, and take back the link to any different site you want to promote.

I don't want anyone to dump links in random pages - it needs to go on blog posts dated from 26th Feb onwards. You don't need to blog specifically about that - feel free to just drop a mention to it in whatever else you're writing about

You can't really get any cleaner than linking to a national newspaper like that.

If anyone wants to take me up on it, just send me the url(s) you've put the link on, along with your url/anchor for the links back.

thanks

What PR are the sites you're offering a link back from?

Frog · Feb 28, 2011

Anything up to pr7... will be the same or more than the PR that you link from

thanks

Why do you want the news paper to get links?

The newspaper article links to his website.

Only after 8 pints, you know that.

He needs links to his site, not to a 3rd party site that links to him. Complete waste of time otherwise.

Domain authority is one thing, linking to the article to increase the authority of the page which the link is from is another.

"Complete waste of time" is quite a worrying comment from someone who has a link to an SEO website in their footer.

My opinion is that its a complete waste of time. You want links to your site, the "passing" of link juice/power/tigerblood/whatever is really not all that. A direct link is better and a much better spent investment.

It would also be a nightmare if/when the story goes into the websites archive directory then gets deleted all together.

x2 !

A link from an authoritive site such as the Telegraph will be worth 50x the power of any crap links that most people would offer on here as a direct link.

By asking people to link to the Guardian website will only make that page stronger, with no direct risk to Frog's site

Anyone who understands SEO will see what he is doing is a shrewd and clever thing to do from his POV

Don't get me wrong, I understand the mind set, but building links to a site which links to a domain which then forwards to another site, for me a least as not going to be a great as getting links direct to the main site.

I believe frog is in the process of moving to another domain, therefore the redirect.

When it comes to the strategy of linking to the article, can only say its a clever way of utilizing a high profile link.

The point is a big boy site such as a national respected newspaper can handle an influx of links (good and bad) without it affecting Google's view of the page.....and in theory an inner page on a respected site getting lots of links strengthens the content and further increases the the strength of the flow to the outbound link.

If people had linked direct some links may have had no little or no affect (possibly adverse affect but in theory according to Google this shouldn't be possible) but a respected page can stand up to a flood of links better.

Not just articles on national newspapers this seo technique is used on

mrh, I think you are missing out more than one aspect of the bigger picture here. Since you're advertising seo in your footer, you'd have been better off not posting in this thread imo as you've hardly covered yourself in glory
