Etiologic Content Linking Strategies by Eric Ward… That slug reminds me of another quote… “In order to appear agreeable to society, you sometimes must agree to be taught many things you already know,” or something to that effect.
I’m thinking Eric never read that quote, lol. Definitely an expert… but not a shy one, to be sure. Much to learn from him…
When I went to the tynt.com site, my computer’s little brain went on the spin cycle. Saw a pretty picture of Time and a copy/paste quote, but nothing else appeared on the site. Just spin city…
The hub.webring site is interesting, but looks spammy and risky. I browsed around a bit… and will definitely return. But all I saw was people posting links… but perhaps I didn’t stay or search enough to find actual content. Or is it all just links?
It’s so frustrating figuring out what to pursue in the case of linkbuilding. Personally, I’ve just thrown BigG out the window and get 88% of all my traffic elsewhere. In the scheme of things, it seems I was right to do that… as once I quite trying with Google, now it seems they pursue me without any work… and my rankings have begun to rise on their own. Probably just a “content is king” story… So now I’m following that rule on all new sites I build… amass mass content on a narrow subject, fuel the fire on YouTube with lots of videos, link on my websites to LOTS more videos, and ignore Google SERPs totally.
The vids rank quickly on YouTube, appear above BigG SERP results, then rise in the SERPS to page one without any seo at all. Interesting…
So I’m not sure if focused pursuit of “natural-looking” backlinks will have any effect over time anymore. That may just be a coincidence that will steer people away from doing what they should be doing… concentrate on massive amounts of quality content with brief one minute bookmarking and sharing strategies… then move on to the next thing quickly.
Works for me…Robin Carlisle @mitch-rezman

@Steve Curran here’s one Tynt report I get http://goo.gl/qeHz8. @Robin Carlisle I’d try http://www.tynt.com in a different browser – chrome? Say what you want about Eric there’s a reason he’s called “Link Moses” I pick up links weekly based on his link alerts. Backlinks are the foundation of the google Algorithm, it’s the only way they know your “massive amounts of quality content” has value to anyone but you – Links are the “votes” for the value of content ergo Penguin – no more link farms or link wheels just links from sites who value your content – no links no rankings. I spend 1 – 2 hours a week on link building - Eric Ward makes it easy with his link alertsVIDEO – I love video – yes not a lot of people are talking about that. Smart marketers need to revisit YouTube if they haven’t been on their channel for more than 3 or 4 months and take advatage of the new designs and metrics. I especially like the new “audience retention” metric – how long your videos are being viewed. If you’re making 4 minute videos and your retention is 50% you know to start making 2 minute videos Like you I’m seeing our little 15 – 20 second product vignettes videos go to page one in less than a day – with background music courtesy of you tube (they adjust light and shaking if you want now). Google likes video like FB likes Images.  . 

I guess I’ll have to give a look at Tynt. I have been using Fiverr and commissioning backlinks from their independent contractors. Most of the gigs never amount to anything.

Being a novice, I am at sea in this discussion. But I will go to tynt and see it. Please permit me to come back and air my ignorance afterwards! Meanwhile, I’ve tried to ensure that my Senior Teenage Facebook Page gets automatic updates of my posting at my blog site: http://www.lizoblogs.com and I am still failing… I need help! Please someone help. Thanks in advance.

I’m using Zemanta.com and MyCurator (just installed and went through training videos).  The two are incredible together.  

I installed MyCurator in my wordpress site yesterday and went through the videos.   I appreciate how you can have the full original article below your post,  to help you in writing.  Also,  love the “multi”  feature where you can add multiple citations in a post.  I’m excited about the improved productivity with MyCurator and Zemanta combined.    

Okay, how did I not know about Tynt? Was super easy to install and already rocks… Impressive and thanks for the intel!
