Dan, the key is to maintain link velocity. Overlinking negative effects occur is you go form ZERO to 60 with link building then stop suddenly. It’s not natural.

It IS possible to knock your competitors out of the SERPs by slamming them with spammy links, and it’s also possible to get their email addresses banned by Akismet, too, its just something that would take a lot of effort to do, may only be temporary an di fany o fthos elinks actually “stuck” then you just did a lot of SEO work for your competitors.

The point to this post was to advise on implementing a natural link velocity, which can beat ANY pace, really just so long as it is maintained.

Hope this helps,

Dan

If overlinking hurts your sites, how come you can’t just overlink your competitors and knock them out of the top 10?

I’m really interested in someone’s opinion on the subject. It seems as if one could just spam links at everyone above them on Google and take the position from the others.

UAW delivers extremely targeted articles, based on category names and tags on your site, and you can auto-approve to auto publish or just accept all articles in pending mode then approve them if they’re good enough.

One thing you want to do is make sure you’re getting backlinks to every article submitted to your site, otherwise your UAW-articles-built sites will have upside down link juice and never really rank well.

Thanks,
Dan

Hey Dan,
Quick question, and this might be unrelated. How safe is it to let other UAW articles be published on my site?

I have tried this before with Free Traffic System service but I got allot of redundant and off topic articles and I really don’t they were even rewritten either.

Hi Randy,

I wouldn’t bother with that membership site sending you more sites than you know what do with.

I wouldn’t bother with XSitePro either.

Not having full control over your business is just a disaster waiting to happen and you need to take the bull by the horns here and own everything.

I strongly suggest you learn how to build your own site from scratch and learn how easy it is to use WordPress and make blogs.

UAW does more for your sites from a link building standpoint than it does for your traffic generation direct from articles, but yes it does work (really well!) .

If you don’t own nor control the sites provided to you, yet you build links to them to achieve rankings you’re adding to the link juice of the main site hosting the sub-domained niche site, therefore I think this is a waste of time, especially since other people may be getting similar sites and they’re promoting them as well, I would assume

Hi Daniel, This whole link building process has me a little confused. I just got started. I’m taking a web building course via the XSITEPRO people, so I’m building a site from scratch. In the mean time I bought into a membership that provides niche sites that I promote. I have no real control over the sites. The only link I can have is the subdomain. I am having a time with some of the directories ( article) rejecting my articles because they say I am violating the affiliate link rule. I am going to subscribe to to UAW on Friday. (payday) You talked about the power of UAW getting links, and to be careful about just using one url. Will this service work for me. I have your guide to traffic generation. Do you have courses on this subject? I am very worried about the traffic issue.

Hey Ray,

If the links are pouring in consistently then there won’t be any penalties. Sometimes those EZAs go back in SERPs no matter what you do, then magically reappear and stay there for a long time.

New EZAs get posted on a high PR page of EZA’s on their “most recently published in XYZ category” page, which is why new EZAS tend to rank well then drop no matter what you do, at least for a while. When the backlinks get credited and attributed, that’s when you know where you really stand.

It’s a good idea to not link to your EZAs until they’re published for a week or two, for reasons stated above, plus people re-publish your EZAs will links intact sometimes so you’re “fighting” with them in the SERPs for a bit until things settle.

Very nice article. I’m really worried about going over with my link building. So far I don’t have any sites that’s been penalized but I had one Ezine article that did because I over linked it too much! hahaha. Thanks

Thanks for sharing this good resource of info. You can ask others to link to your web site. One of the easiest ways to do this is to offer to review a product on a similarly-themed website and offer to write a testimonial for their product. At the end of your testimonial, include your name and a backlink to your web site. Most webmasters are more than happy to publish another testimonial for their product, and many will make your link live. Of course if they do, you have another inbound link.
