Where To Source Premium Content

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, June 11, 2010

There are a number of services of questionable ethics around, offering students to research and write full term papers for them. This is at the university level. For anyone familiar with the kind of work that goes into this, I would suggest that these sources can also be valuable sources for premium quality content. The type to linkbait professors, and (more…)

Internal Link Building Update

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, August 6, 2008

A few of you have been kind enough to report bugs and issues with the internal link building plugin. I’m currently aware of the following issues. They’re on the to-do-list to be fixed and/or improved. I wasn’t sure whether or not to hide these bugs or be upfront about it, but I figure it’s better to fess up and be transparent than whatever might happen in the alternative.

Keep in mind, however, that some problems will be specific to you personally. Try de-activating other plugins before you come to report a problem. If that doesn’t work, then please, I really, really want to hear from you!

Also, if you’re on version 1 of the plugin rather than version 2, get version 2
now as it fixes a common bug (see 2 below) and may address yours. You don’t need to worry about losing saved keywords; they’ll be there when you install the new version. This is per my testing on a 2.5x WP install on this site.

New SEO Plugin for WordPress: Internal Link Building

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, June 30, 2008

Update 1 : The plugin has been downloaded 13,000 + times! And many webmasters use it on multiple sites, so it’s probably being used on closer to 15,000-20,000 sites!

ILB 12,700 Downloads

ILB 556 Downloads

Update 2 : To download the plugin, you need to add my RSS feed to your reader. The download link is now in my RSS feed’s footer . That is to say you can find a link to download below any post, but only if you read via RSS.

Some folks have complained about the need to subscribe. And I understand where you’re coming from – it feels a little pushy and you probably already have a bunch of subscriptions.

But there are good reasons to subscribe to my rss feed (besides it being free):

1) To hear about updates to the plugin or new plugins and SEO tools I release.

2) To learn new SEO techniques. If you like my plugin, aren’t my other SEO ideas worth your attention?

Internal Link Building gives you an admin panel to assign keywords to given destination URLs. The point being that your website will link within itself a la Wikipedia – every time a keyword occurs, it links to the page you defined. (more…)

Google Slaughters Wall & Inman, But Amazon Survives

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, April 17, 2008

Google killed former SEOmoz CTO Matt Inman’s widgetbait because some Guardian reporter didn’t like it and wrote his negative opinion up. Then Aaron Wall was unlucky enough to trust a jerk who asked Matt Cutts about Aaron’s affiliate program based linkbuilding.

The question is: Will Amazon get a beat-down too? For their (more…)

4 Great Linkbait Ideas Free for the Taking

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, January 25, 2008

I’ve guest-posted at Dave Harris’ Huomah, sharing some linkbait ideas I had lying around for linkbait pieces which you’re welcome to develop! If you like it, also please do Sphinn the post. It also ties in to guest-writing I did at Pandia on succesful linkbait’s characteristics. And speaking of influencing people to link to you and/or sphinn your stuff, check out my most recent article, On Motivation and Influence. If you like it, a sphinn would also be appreciated. I put about a dozen hours into it and am really proud of that, so it would mean a lot if you could help it go hot.

Besides all that, I’m going to make the traditional invitation for you to Read Comments (0)

How Many Five Year Olds Can You Take In A Fight?

Author: Gabriel Goldenberg, December 20, 2007

I can beat back a horde of 31 five year olds kids in a fight.

Why am I posting this? Because it’s brilliant linkbait and, per Matt, is part of a strategy that’s brought in about 250 K links for the dating site he works with. Speaking of which, Matt also informs me that oatmeal is made up of ground-up pigeons. So perhaps he’s not that reliable. He’s a premium linkbaiter, in any case. Now excuse me, I think I feel some five year old children’s teeth gnawing at my ankle.
