Hi Nick, Great article, I just had a massive conversation with the outsourcing company i am using to build links, it came to my attention that they were link building from everywhere..which i didnt agree with, i asked them if they could kick it industry specific however..i believe throwing lnks around with same anchor is a sure fire way to be picked up by Google. What do you suggest?

The best way to gain trust seems to be writing great informative articles and creating a popular blog -links are just a byproduct that Google looks at as reference points.
That`s my take.

Thanks Nick

Have a great day.

Nice read Nick
@Chris you said “So should I report them or let them continue as its generating links?”

I’d leave them links in place to be honest, Google will not count (or give any weight to) a non-relavant (off topic) link back to your site and if the site pointing to you is on topic then all the better for you.

“Trust Factor” is (and was from the start) an important part of Google-The-Business so irrelevant content and links wont be counted as such.

I have had all sorts of irrelevant links pointing to my sites from all types of websites on the net and never ask them to remove links – they soon disappear after a few crawls from Google-Bot.

To Chris,

If you have 100s of link pointing to your site from them then is that a beneficial to you?

This is also depend on if the site is an authoritative. I have reported a lot of website who uses my content that i posted in ezine. Their site still up and running…

Hello, Nick.

I have been following you for a while now and your advise has proved extremely useful but there is something that I am unsure of and wondering if you could help me.

After checking who has been linking to me lately I came across a site that has copied my feeds and posted them direct onto their site. Now I am wondering if this is a good or bad thing for me coz even though they are coping me I am actually getting 100s of links pointing to my site from them..

So should I report them or let them continue as its generating links?

Great article!
Social Media is a great way to build trust for your company. You can not only create conversations that engage customers, but you can use social media to build relationships and trust. This trust is vital for the success of companies today. According to the 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer survey, “Trust is a protective agent and leads to tangible benefits and a lack of trust is barrier to change. “
we recently wrote a blog about how to use social media to build trust : check it out

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for reading!

I would say a combination of both works and I would also look to build out your article marketing, so contribute article to other sites and blog that are not just ezine and are industry specific as well…

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Nick

I have a question about article links. I write a lot of unique articles and it takes a lot of my time. My website is at the top of the search engines for my targeted keywords but not a lot of people visit my site.

I was wondering after I write an article, would it be better to publish it to my blog page where not a lot of people will see it, or publish it on Ezine and get a link out of it and maybe more people will see it.

I know Google doesnt like duplicate content, so I need the best bacg for my buck.

Thanks for your time Nick
Shawn
