			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like a paradox, doesn&#8217;t it? As web developers, we are constantly told that our link profiles need to look 100% natural, yet businesses tend to collapse in the year-long wait for Google&#8217;s robots to even begin giving us the recognition we deserve. So, we turn to link building. And why shouldn&#8217;t we? Offline businesses do everything in their power to bring their products to the consumers &#8211; is there anything wrong with web developers doing the same thing by building backlinks to their website content?</p>
<p><span id="more-2419"></span></p>
<p>According to Google, the best way to build a 100% natural backlink profile is to create valuable content that other people will link to naturally. After all, Google doesn&#8217;t care whether your business succeeds, they just want their customers to be happy with their search results. But for those among us without massive creative departments and investor bankrolls, link building is still the best bet. Fortunately, there are some entirely natural (and entirely ethical) ways of speeding up the natural backlink process, without attempting to wrest your black hat from the powerful jaws of Google&#8217;s panda.</p>
<h2>Write Linkworthy Content</h2>
<p>Of course, no backlink profile will look natural if it&#8217;s not pointing at some truly valuable content. Even if you don&#8217;t write it to draw in thousands of natural links (which it probably won&#8217;t), your job will be much easier if you take the time to load your website with great content. Fortunately, great content isn&#8217;t that hard to create. Consider these factors when coming up with content ideas, and when writing the content itself:</p>
<ol>
<li>Look to powerful content sites like Mashable and Cracked.com for titles that interest readers. Use these for inspiration for your own titles.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re not a good writer, remember that resource pages (pages filled with links to other sources of information) are very easy to write, valuable, and very popular with website visitors.</li>
<li>Write for your readers, not the search engines. Stuffing content with keywords doesn&#8217;t work anymore.</li>
<li>If all else fails, just try to be original, funny, or controversial.</li>
</ol>
<p>Shortly after the now famous Google Panda algorithm update, Google&#8217;s Amit Singhal <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-guidance-on-building-high-quality.html" target="_blank">published a blog post explaining the parameters that Google uses to judge high quality websites</a>. These tips largely focus on creating content that is free of errors and is written from an expert point of view.</p>
<p>Remember that this approach to your content is not just limited to clever blog posts, but to your entire website. Try to take an otherwise normal lead generation page and make it something unique and special. For example, you might be tempted to simply list your services for a <a href="http://www.clearwirelessinternet.net/" target="_blank">clear wireless internet</a> website in a simple text box. You could, however, take this content to the next level and present it in a unique way &#8211; like a list of the &#8220;Top 10 Ways Our Competition Will Steal Your Hard-Earned Money.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Remember to Build Deep Links</h2>
<p>There are essentially two types of powerful domains &#8211; brandable and exact match. If you have a brandable domain name, it makes perfect sense that the majority of the links coming in will be to your homepage, and they will probably have the anchor text [Your Domain Name]. If you have an exact match domain, you can also expect many links to come in with your exact match keyword phrase (in the same way that purpleturtles.com would probably get a lot of links with &#8220;purple turtles&#8221; as the anchor text).</p>
<p>However, it will always still look strange if all of the links you get are pointed at the homepage of your site. While it can be more challenging, be sure to build some deep links, or links that point at subpages of your website. There are a few subpages that tend to naturally acquire more links than others, and large amounts of links will look natural pointing at them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Resource Pages (like a list of valuable websites in your niche)</li>
<li>Link Baits (like infographics, videos, and viral blog posts)</li>
<li>About Us (yup, these pages get a ton of links, especially if you&#8217;re an authority figure or trying to be one)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Add Some Variety to Your Anchor Text</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s often a misconception about how links are counted by search engines. Every link has two values that it can pass to your site &#8211; authority and keyword text. When a link passes authority, it gets counted by Google towards things like your Page Rank. When a link passes anchor text, it helps you rank higher in SERPs for that keyword term. Although it&#8217;s best to get links that pass both authority and anchor text at the same time, natural backlink profiles demand much more variety.</p>
<p>Take the time to really think about how people link to websites. If 100 people naturally linked to a page of your website called &#8220;Top 10 Ways to Do SEO Right,&#8221; would you expect them all to use the anchor text &#8220;SEO?&#8221; Of course not. Instead, the anchor text would be all over the place. You would even see some aggravating anchor text like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Click here!</li>
<li>This website claimed that&#8230;</li>
<li>According to an SEO website&#8230;</li>
<li>That&#8217;s not what this website had to say, however.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, remembering that links pass both authority and anchor text, you can feel confident in adding a few strange anchor text links to your backlink profile, for the sake of looking natural. You&#8217;ll still get the benefit of link juice, but without being passed anchor text.</p>
<p>If this is too much to bear, you can still add variety to your anchor text to make it look more natural, while still focusing on keywords. Start with a simple long tail keyword that you would like to target, such as &#8220;payday loans for senior citizens in Oregon.&#8221; Build one or two links using that anchor text. Next, divide up all the parts of that long tail phrase so you have several smaller keyword phrases:</p>
<ul>
<li>payday loans</li>
<li>payday loans for senior citizens</li>
<li>senior citizens in Oregon</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, think of all the variations that include some form of the smaller keyword phrases. For example, we might use the following simple modifier keyword phrases for &#8220;payday loans:&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li>fast payday loans</li>
<li>quick payday loans</li>
<li>cheap payday loans</li>
<li>pay day loans</li>
<li>loans for payday</li>
</ul>
<p>Use your new list of anchor text variations when continuing to build links. If you do it right, Google&#8217;s robots will see that you have all sorts of different links coming in with the same general idea (payday loans for senior citizens in Oregon), but with a much more natural and difficult to detect pattern. Just make sure that your original long tail keyword phrase makes sense when describing the page to which it links.</p>
<h2>Establish a Natural Link Schedule</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s very tempting to launch enormous link building campaigns just to &#8220;get it out of the way&#8221; or start cashing in on your efforts quickly. Nothing, however, looks less natural than a brand new website attracting thousands of links (sometimes even before the content is indexed). Time your link building campaigns for a couple of days after you put up fresh content, and space them out as much as you can. You might build one or two links to each page to help it get indexed faster, but any more looks fishy. There isn&#8217;t an easy rule regarding how much link building is too much, but use your best judgment when linking to your site.</p>
<p>If you absolutely must build links quickly, the best way to make it look natural is to pay attention to sites like <a href="http://www.google.com/trends" target="_blank">Google Trends</a> and release newsworthy content that will attract links as the day goes on. You need to have significant traffic already to make it look completely natural. For example:</p>
<ol>
<li>You notice that &#8220;Kate Gosselin&#8221; is trending on Google Trends.</li>
<li>After some research, you find that it&#8217;s because her kids want her to get married again.</li>
<li>You write five news articles on the topic (yes they should be unique&#8230;) and publish one on your site.</li>
<li>You then reach out to some blog owners to publish the other four articles with a link back to your site.</li>
</ol>
<p>With this technique, it makes a lot of sense that people would link to your article on the same day (or shortly after) it was very popular online.</p>
<p>Remember that, as your site grows, you can get away with building links faster. This looks natural as your site begins ranking for more competitive search phrases and your Page Rank increases.</p>
<h2>Add Variety to Your Link Profile</h2>
<p>Finally, get your links from more than one source. Guest blogging is a great way to get high quality links, but it&#8217;s not the only way sites get natural backlinks. If your entire link profile is created from guest blogging, your links will look suspicious. Ignoring bad neighborhood links and obvious spam, SEOMoz&#8217;s Rand Fishkin outlines some of the most popular link sources in his video <a href="http://www.linkbuildr.com/whiteboard-friday-dude-your-links-kinda-suck/" target="_blank">Dude, Your Links Kinda Suck.</a> In the low quality section, he lists some great sources of quick links, such as:</p>
<ol>
<li>Junk Directories (Paid Directory Listings)</li>
<li>Do-Follow Blogs (Mainly Blog Comments)</li>
<li>Forum Signatures (Forum Posts)</li>
<li>Social Media Profiles (As Long As You Don&#8217;t Spam)</li>
<li>Sites You Own (Please, please be careful with this one)</li>
<li>Reciprocal (Just grab a few)</li>
</ol>
<p>Even if it makes you shudder, adding a few thousand paid directory links to your profile (after you have plenty of high quality links) can serve to help disguise your link building efforts from competitors, and Google understands the value of this as long as you don&#8217;t overdo it.</p>
<h2>Building Links the Natural Way</h2>
<p>Sometimes, you just have to forget all of the theories and rules, and just have a little fun with your SEO. There are very few things you can do to permanently destroy your site&#8217;s SEO, and they&#8217;re not the kinds of things you do by accident. Always try to think of creative ways to get links to your site, and think like the person linking to you.</p>
<p>Eventually, if you provide valuable content, you&#8217;ll see natural links flowing in pretty consistently. You can build as many links as you can, with exact match anchor text, and see how much money you can make before getting penalized (which is often a good strategy in highly competitive industries). Or, you can keep your backlink profile natural and plan for a long future that will eventually make you nearly untouchable in your niche.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-2264" href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/link-building-for-the-future/link-building-highway-of-the-future/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2264" src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/link-building-highway-of-the-future.jpg" alt="link building highway of the future" width="600"   /></a></p>
<p>Link building changes each year, this is a summary of how to prosper with your linking activities in the coming years.</p>
<p> 5 years ago all we had to do is build exact anchor text links and we could hope for high rankings. 10 years ago we could get high rankings with forum signature links and comments, but today everything revolves around relevancy and natural link profiles.</p>
<p>We know that we need to diversify our links starting from anchor texts we use, position on the page up to types of websites we get links from, not to mention keeping your link velocity in check. So what did we learn in the past few years regarding link building? Are there things that didn&#8217;t change and what can we expect to remain the same so we can plan ahead for quality link building.</p>
<p>The types of link we will need to get in the future may change a bit, but they will still rely on several factors that will most likely remain the same. So what do we need to look for to determine a quality page for our link?</p>
<p><span id="more-2253"></span></p>
<p><strong>Link Metrics </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Relevance</li>
<li> Authority</li>
<li> Popularity</li>
<li> Traffic</li>
<li> Social presence</li>
</ul>
<p>Nothing new there right, but this is the basic list of ingredients for quality backlinks. One thing I always look for are traffic pages. Most SEO’s simple look for page rank or MozRank or general authority of a website, but what good will that do for me right now? Yes it may impact my rankings along with some other links, but unless it is a high traffic page I won’t be able to see any traffic increase on my site for quite some time, and link building is not just about rankings, it is about driving targeted traffic to the right location. So let’s look at certain link building strategies that can influence your rankings and drive some quality traffic your way and we know that they will work in the future.</p>
<p><strong>Competitor Research – Moving In on the Competition</strong></p>
<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-2265" href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/link-building-for-the-future/spying-on-competitors/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2265" src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/spying-on-competitors-e1309243783895.jpg" alt="spying on competitors" width="600"   /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Until you come up with a solid link building strategy you need to be mindful of your competitors and get all the good links they have. Well, at least as much as you can. Don’t go blindly after all of the competitor links, evaluate the most valuable ones, the high traffic ones that pass on some link juice as well and concentrate on acquiring those, even if it takes a bit longer. You don’t need your competitor’s bad or low quality links, you just need the cream of their link profile, which should be enough to get you started and at the same time find a working pattern to implement on your personal link building campaign.</p>
<p>There are many tools you can use to find competitor links, I suggest <a title="Open Site Explorer" href="http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/" target="_blank">Open Site Explorer</a> and <a title="Yahoo Site Explorer" href="http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo Site Explorer</a>, but don’t forget the power of advanced search queries.</p>
<p><strong>Guest Posting – A Two Way Street</strong></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-2266" href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/link-building-for-the-future/guest-posting/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2266" src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/guest-posting-300x264.jpg" alt="guest posting magic" width="280"   /></a>    By now you probably know that in-content links have a great value as they appear to be natural. This depends, but they   have been gaining popularity in terms of quality and desire. Everyone wants guest posts, but remember that this is a two way street. </p>
<p>Getting new backlinks  by guest posting is great: you will get bigger exposure, social media promotion from your fellow bloggers and ultimately a highly relevant link, but you need to think of the effect of accepting guest posts for your website.</p>
<p>When you do a guest post you  should link to it and accept guest posts from other bloggers in your market area. This gives you free content, free extra social media promotion for your website and most likely a few links as everyone wants their content ranking better and passing more link juice. By allowing guest posts you are doing your rankings a favor and helping the community.</p>
<p><strong>Quality Content – Linkbaiting and Natural Links</strong></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-2267" href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/link-building-for-the-future/linkbait-or-not/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2267" src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/linkbait-or-not-255x300.jpg" alt="amazing linkbait" width="280"  /></a>     Natural link building, create great content that attracts links naturally, sounds great, but it is not easy &#8211; or is it?</p>
<p> Creating valuable quality content is in fact not that hard, but since the net is full of   content this isn&#8217;t enough anymore. You need to create something that stands apart from the rest with thorough research and lots of brainstorming. Examine your market and find out what people are looking for, use old data and update it, present it in a new light, create informational content that  exceeds the status quo.</p>
<p>Tutorials, how to’s, infographics, slides, videos, controversy, promotions, plugins, tools, these can all attract great links on their own, they just need to be presented in an attractive way. Some people manage to do that even without the best content, they just know how to package the product and serve it to their audience, which is the most important part. Get to know your audience, which is the only way to create something they will link to on their own free will.</p>
<p>If you can rely on informational market one of the easiest ways to get some recognition and establish yourself as authority, get some links as well, is to do extensive research regarding your market, present the new data and talk about it wherever you get the chance. New results, polls, survey, case studies will surely make you stand out from the crowd, so this is a worthy investment that you should pursue by all means.</p>
<p>And if everything else fails you just need a known person to act as your spokesman. That is not as hard as you think; just find a known person in your market on the net or real life celebrity to interview, and present this in a funny way.  Get the host to talk about your products, services or simply offer an opinion on a relevant topic. Interviews from known people can be a great ice breaker for your traffic and can help you reach the tipping point for high traffic and social media promotion. They can catapult your website and make it desirable place to link to and promote.</p>
<p><strong>Planning Your Link Building Campaign</strong></p>
<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-2268" href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/link-building-for-the-future/seo-plan/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2268" src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/seo-plan-e1309244305814.jpg" alt="seo plan blueprint" width="600"  /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>This may be new to you or maybe not, most likely you already know about the link building methods mention here, but just knowing something is not enough. You need to know and practice in order to achieve something, and going out blindly will also get you nowhere, you need to plan ahead and create your link building campaign blueprint from the start. This is the only way to expect results and measure the success of your campaign.</p>
<p>Following the mentioned methods in this article you can create a time frame for your link building efforts and act accordingly. You can create a budget and you can have time to do research, preparation and then go out to get results, and you will get them if you just plan ahead. Link building and content creation is not that hard when you know what to look for. Get to know   and understand your market and your audience, that is the only way to succeed, online or offline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="link shortener" href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/link-shortener.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2158" src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/link-shortener-300x193.gif" alt="compress links" width="230" /></a> As social media continues to factor more and more on the web, webmasters need to keep an eye on how new trends and/or developments such as URL shorteners affect SEO rankings.  For these useful  tools, at least,  URL shorteners have been integrated into sites without any drawbacks &#8211; really without much difference at all in how search engines value the links.</p>
<p>To Google, custom URL shorteners are basically viewed as general redirects and the PageRank comes through just like a regular 301 or permanent redirect, so there isn&#8217;t any downside for SEO.  As Matt Cutts of Google says in a video posted on their Webmaster Help YouTube Channel, “If we try to crawl a page, and we see a 301 or permanent redirect, which pretty much all well-behaved URL shorteners like bit.ly or goo.gl will do, if we see that 301 then that will pass PageRank to the final destination.”<br />
<span id="more-2131"></span></p>
<p>He adds that since the PageRank and anchor text will flow through, there shouldn&#8217;t be any harm to using custom URL shorteners in SEO.</p>
<p>There are some nuances, of course, such as Twitter webpages that have a nofollow link, that might require other ways for Google to find out about the link.  As he puts it, “Now, just to let you know, if you look at, for example, Twitter’s web pages, many of those links have a nofollow link, so those links that are on the webpage, may not necessarily flow PageRank.  But we might be able to find out about those links through some other way, maybe a data feed or something like that. But just URL shorteners, as far as how they relate to SEO, are not necessarily a problem at all.”</p>
<p>The bottom line is that URL shorteners are a powerful way to build links and support SEO.  &#8220;The vast majority of well-behaved URL shorteners have good uptime, and also pass PageRank and anchor text because they use a 301 redirect,&#8221; concludes Matt Cutts.</p>
<p>Google has just evolved their own shortener, goo.gl, with several new features to improve its ease of use and performance.</p>
<p>Here is the full version of Google&#8217;s Matt Cutts talking about custom URL shorteners on their Webmaster Help YouTube channel:</p>
<p><object style="height: 350px; width: 600px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100" height="100" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QMkltd6dZzU?version=3" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed style="height: 350px; width: 600px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QMkltd6dZzU?version=3" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>URL Shortener Options</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>www.h38.com &#8211; very cool, this our custom shortener.  If you would like to have the source code <a href="http://netpaths.net/contact.html">just ask us</a>.</li>
<li>bit.ly and j.mp &#8211; the grandaddys of URL shorteners, now owned by Twitter. They have great tracking tools.</li>
<li>goo.gl &#8211; Google&#8217;s new shortener, we have not tested it but it should work well</li>
<li>is.gd</li>
<li>tinyurl.com &#8211; This was the original URL shortener, although it is rarely used anymore. Sad story from a top 100 web 1.0 website.</li>
</ul>
<p>We still believe that you should get quality links from unfiltered sources, and not rely solely on 3rd party services for your linkbuilding  URL&#8217;s.

We have known about the pending changes to Yahoo this summer as they are <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">consumed and destroyed</span> integrated with Microsoft&#8217;s Bing. This merger was <a href="http://searchengineland.com/bing-yahoo-what-does-it-mean-for-users-23364">announced</a> nearly exactly 1 year ago as a strategic move by Yahoo and Bing that I am calling <strong>YaBing</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The unwritten reasons for the YaBing merger<br />
</strong><br />
<span id="more-1602"></span></p>
<ol>
<li> The new Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz needed to do something to justify her hefty <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/05/10/business/main6470831.shtml">47mm pay package</a>, so she signed away Yahoo&#8217;s future to secure hers.</li>
<li>Microsoft has been desperate to compete with Google for nearly 10 years, and would give away nearly anything to beat them.  Thanks to the unfortunate hiring of Mrs. Bartz, Microsoft got Yahoo&#8217;s hard earned online traffic and respect at a very low valuation.</li>
<li>Google has been dominating the web for the past decade, and the only real way to challenge them is for the second place participants to join forces. Competition is almost always a good thing, and I really look forward to seeing how google responds to some healthy competition.</li>
</ol>
<p>Below is a random search for links on YSE</p>
<p>http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain:www.site.com%20-site:www.site.com&#038;n=100</p>
<p><a href="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/yahoo-site-explorer-down.jpg"><img src="http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/yahoo-site-explorer-down.jpg" border="0" alt="yahoo site-explorer down " width="600" /></a></p>
<p>Another great open feature bites the dust; RIP Yahoo Site Explorer.

Persuading other websites to link to you is easier with a solid plan and consistent dedication to the task. The link building flowchart on the left outlines the process of building links.</p>
<p><strong>7 Link Building Tips</strong><br />
<span id="more-1495"></span></p>
<ul>
<li> Lists &#8211; The easiest way to grab peoples attention when presenting valuable information is to create lists. A list is easier to scan and has a higher perceived value than endless paragraphs of unformatted text. Think David Letterman&#8217;s daily top 10.</li>
<li> Controversy &#8211;  People love to read material that is  controversial and strongly opinionated. One example is the Huffington Post, which writes with passion, opinion and strong words. It works, as some articles have over 20,000 comments and get shared thousands of times on social networks.</li>
<li>Research &#8211; Original research and unique history that is original, timely and useful.   Find a topical subject and try to find another angle to write about it from.  Send out a taster as a newsletter or pdf file.</li>
<li>Content Sharing &#8211; Post original articles on other websites and require a link back to your site.  I have had great success from emailing bloggers in my niche and asking if they would accept a quality post from me.  Most bloggers are hungry for new ideas and fresh content and readily accept well written posts from industry experts.</li>
<li>Infographics &#8211;  Excellent examples of infographics are found in high quality news sites and Ezines such as Newsweek, Time.com, and the NYtimes. Infographics are beautiful graphical designs that explain complex data. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a quality infographic can be worth 1000 links.</li>
<li>Continuous Updates &#8211; Websites are dynamic, and people expect you to update your online presence. Blogs are the best way to do this,  but any new content pages are good.</li>
<li>Widgets &#8211; Simple items that people can place on their website or blog.  High profile examples include D&amp;B, BBB, TrustLink, StatCounter,  Vimeo, MicroPoll  and many others. Create a service that solves a problem, provides value and is easy to implement.</li>
</ul>
<p>Invite people to email you and answer their questions.  Become a guru, an expert, a resource, a destination on the internet &#8211; you can be a Wikipedia in your niche.</p>
<p>Generate content by had writing about what you love. If you don&#8217;t enjoy the subject, outsource this task. No one will read words that have no passion behind them. If you can&#8217;t get the energy to write for your audience, how can you expect them to expend energy to consume your content?</p>
<p>Do not use automation to  generate massive backlinks or create content. Websites are born, not spun &#8211; creating a good product that people will be passionate about takes time. If you would like to submit an article for publication on this SEO blog please <a href="http://netpaths.net/contact.html">contact us</a>, we love hearing from new authors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to gain an audience, avoid other people from usurping your ideas, and avoid duplicate content filters.</p>
<p>Seeding articles, graphs, PDF documents, research, charts, images, videos and quotes to other websites is an excellent way to increase awareness of your website. You will be inserting your brand into a natural source of information and can reach users at a critical point in their decision making process.</p>
<p>When seeding your content the key is to get links back to your site from half a dozen sites. Without this quantity your efforts could be lost.</p>
<p><strong>Doing Content Wrong</strong></p>
<ol>
<li> 	Find trending keywords
</li>
<li>	Get low paid writers to mashup content and rewrite words
</li>
<li>	Semi automated process – publications still need writers and editors like McDonalds needs cows
</li>
<li>	You may find articles written by Mr. Al Gorithm
</li>
<li>	Machines can’t differentiate between “time flies like an arrow” &#038; “fruit flies like a banana” but some people can overlook this
</li>
<li>	Automated baseball sports writing program exists – developed by Northwestern University. It gets the facts but not meaning of games.
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Doing Content Right</strong></p>
<ol>
<li> 	Create a great article
</li>
<li>	Find trusted, high quality, relevant sites to share it with
<ul>
<li> 	Ezines
</li>
<li> 	Blogs
</li>
<li> 	Niche websites
</li>
<li> 	Small publications
</li>
<li> 	Industry specific websites</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>	Share with at least 5 sites and have them all <strong>link back</strong> to your website. If you only share content with 3 sites there is a chance they will outrank you for it.
</li>
</ol>
<p>Read the official Google policy on <a href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66359">cross-site duplication</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>If you syndicate your content on other sites, Google will always show the version we think is most appropriate for users in each given search, which may or may not be the version you’d prefer. However, it is helpful to ensure that each site on which your content is syndicated includes a link back to your original article. You can also ask those who use your syndicated material to use the noindex meta tag to prevent search engines from indexing their version of the content.</p></blockquote>
<p>With this strategy you will never have to worry about other people stealing your content again, as you will always rank #1 for your work.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received a link request email for a great offer linking to Intel. I thought I misread the company name, but it is indeed the behemoth computer chip manufacturer.</p>
<p>This is a really low budget way for Intel to go about getting more links, and I thought they could be a little creative and try to use some Digg <strike>spam</strike> bait to get more links. Intel just got hit with a <a href="http://government.zdnet.com/?p=4809">1.45 billion dollar fine</a> from the EU so they must have had to slash their search engine optimization budget.</p>
<p>The email is below:</p>
<blockquote><p>Software 3 Way- Link Partner Proposal ! http://sx.intel.com</p>
<p>Dear Webmaster,</p>
<p>My name is ANDY, marketing manager of  sx.intel.com website. I really liked your site <img src='http://www.netpaths.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  So, I thought why not we do link exchange ?</p>
<p>Due to the possible harming nature of too many reciprocal links we suggest non reciprocal links. You can link to us from your site and we will link back from another of our sites.</p>
<p>I can add your link here ::<br />
http://www.netsalad.com                                               ( Any Inner Page )<br />
OR<br />
http://www.boogiedada.com/                                         ( PR 1 Content Rich).</p>
<p>If you are interested, please reply to this email and I will be happy to discuss our link exchange requirements.<br />
Please add my site information under any Quality Inner Page. Here the our site details:</p>
<p>Link Title: business software<br />
Link Url: http://sx.intel.com<br />
Link Description: Business Software Solutions with Intel&#8217;s Software Download Store, Special prices, Featured software downloads with superb discounts.</p>
<p>Again, awesome site!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>ANDY<br />
sx.intel.com</p></blockquote>
<p>I wonder how this 3 way link strategy is working for this multi billion dollar company. The top backlink listed is from  <em>HV Web Directory :: SEO Friendly Web Directory</em>.</p>
<p>Intel should be proud of the money they are saving from having axed their online marketing department.</p>
