Hi Steven,

I would keep submitting your website once every other month until it goes through. Don’t give up hope, it took me a long time to get my site listed!

Best,
Nick

Nick, thanks for another great set of tips!

Have you thought of a short post on the most difficult part of this task – tips on take-downs of NA links that have cropped up?

Thanks again Nick.

Hey Nick: My question relates to DMOZ. I submitted my website to them on July 13, 2011. Do I just wait to hear or is it lost? Do I resubmit or just let the process unfold. Should I be worried?

Also, great SEO will help build natural links that I didn’t actively have a hand in creating. You don’t know what kind of link that is until you take the time to check out the site. That is why link audits are so important. You can’t always account for every link that other people create.

Hi Nick – I second Arsen – great post. However, I have to ask you something – why don’t you record all this when you’re link building? I always do, I have a spreadsheet with a list of links I’ve built for a client over the course of a month, which details where the link is from, the anchor text, the type of link (eg article marketing vs blog commenting etc). Whether it’s follow or nofollow – what the pagerank of the linking page is… etc etc.

I keep a running spreadsheet of all the links built over the course of a campaign, and regularly (every quarter or so) go through the list of links to note down when the link went live, if the link has been deleted, or rejected etc.

I find this method to be really useful – if a client asks me ‘how many links have you built for me this month’ I can easily pull out my spreadsheet and tell them.

Good, solid post! I wuld also add that when one is organizing their links, it is important to note if the link is do-follow or no-folow.

Remember that an organic linking structure always includes some no-follow links.

Thanks for sharing with me on G+
