Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?

Good day. I am writing articles for submission, I would just like some help with the page structure. Do I only include the link for the page that I would like to promote or is it advisable to include other page links, such as home page or the parent category too? Any help would be appreciated

Hello Dear!
Yes, you can add links to your article but not doing stuffing and bolding so many keywords if you do then your website will not visible on SERPs. Because it has a way you did spam.
For Example:
Your article is all about SEO Services
So You go to create a link that you are promoted like this SEO Services in Lahore -
the same number of connections as you have to get your 'important' and 'convincing' thought or substance crosswise over to the end client. Connection to the spots which are applicable on your site, which interface most emphatically with the substance
There are no firm guidelines in Digital PR, other than 'have a thought' and advance it successfully. On the off chance that your article is about a particular item, connection to the particular item. Specialty the connection with the most brief client venture, which will madden end-clients the least. That is you absolute best at better than average inbound SEO value stream SEO Services in Pakistan

Thanks so much, appreciate the time

That's exactly right. As long as the links could be useful to a user, as long as the page upon which the links exist sees traffic and is editorial in nature, then you could see some SEO gains.
If you want to you can even link to resources on other websites entirely, as long as they contribute something substantial to your study and you can demonstrate that the information has been verified in some way.
Links for no reason other than SEO benefit seldom pass much link-juice, so I'd leave them out. Even if they work initially, they often get de-valued later (which is a whole 'nother ballpark of problems!)

Hi Thanks for your input. What i am currently doing is doing original pieces for each page that I would like to rank for. They are informative in terms of mattress buying advice, where to look for them, what to look out for etc. I am very tight when it come to any form of self promotion. each piece is 100% original and submitted on its own. No software and no spinning.
So for example I write a piece on what types of mattresses do what, where the best place to look for them is, what sort of signs to look for for defects etc. At the very end of the page I include a link to my page that is relevant to the content that I have written, purely as a suggestion that the particular page link may be of help to them. So whilst that link is to a sub domain I was just wondering if there should be other links to other pages or if that one sub domain link is best practice.
If I understand you correctly it may be ok to include a link to some other non promotional types of links like a post to sleep tips and probably not a good idea to include links to home for no specific reason other that link strength?

If you are stating that you have proper content, which you are seating on a site as one single editorial placement (which is non-advertorial in nature, which will not be syndicated to more than one site) then it all depends upon the context of the hyperlink.
If you want your link-building to work, there are a myriad of technical and Google-policy related factors which will impact the (SEO) authority flow. One thing you really need to consider, is relevance. Most people look at relevance in an overly-simplistic sense which considers only thematic or linguistically semantic relevance.
For example, most people would say that a link from a car insurance site, to a car dealership page, which used anchor-text containing the word 'car' was relevant. Both sites are (to some degree) about cars and the anchor text matches, so the link is relevant, right?
WRONG
What you also have to consider is, why would a user 'follow' your hyperlink? Google wants to weight links which are editorial in nature (non-ad based, not paid for) which web-users actually follow and use on the web. If a link exists 'just for SEO' and no users will follow it, if the link was paid for - it's not a 'relevant' link
You have to make your hyperlinks 'user-relevant', not just 'SEO-relevant'. Having a linked theme and a splash of copy on some unknown page of the web, isn't enough to rank well (sorry). Art least, not for competitive terms!
If my hypothetical car insurance company and the related car dealership worked on a mutual partnership where no money changed hands, which created something enticing - which encouraged traffic to flow through the hyperlink... well, you might just have a 'real' relevant link at that point. Maybe the dealership and insurance companies used some of their data and combined it in a way which created unique articles or infographics (example: "did you know that cars bought at brand-approved dealerships are less likely to be part of a claim within ten years?" etc.)
Maybe they threw in some discounts whilst working together, to sweeten the deal and get people to use the link(s) within their co-authored content. That's what real link building is
**If however, you are using some kind of free article-submission software or article-network **(which no one really reads), it is extremely unlikely that anything you do with the link(s) will produce considerable SEO ranking-power
So to finally answer your question about, how many links should you include? Where should they go? The answer is variable, but basically boils down to: as many links as you need to get your 'relevant' and 'compelling' idea or content across to the end user. Link to the places which are relevant on your site, which connect most strongly with the content
There are no hard-and-fast rules in Digital PR, other than 'have an idea' and promote it effectively. If your article is about a specific product, link to the specific product. Craft the link with the shortest user-journey, which will infuriate end-users the least. That's you best shot at decent inbound SEO equity flow

Privacy Policy Pages
When creating a privacy policy page- much of what needs to be added is legal information. This means privacy policy pages may be very similar to others' privacy pages in my niche. Are they all pretty much generic? We have a few different companies and I'm thinking we can have one created and then modify them per company? Is this correct? Mary

What is the best tactic to fix thousands of product descriptions on an eCommerce site?
I've asked this to dozens of people already, but I still haven't found a satisfactory answer... perhaps someone here can help me: I keep hearing how important it is to update product descriptions to avoid duplicate content, decrease thin content and improve conversion rates - but for any new eCommerce sites like ours, with thousands of listings going up at once, this is nearly impossible to control. Outsourcing is clearly a bad idea from an SEO standpoint as well as a UX standpoint... But are there any other options? Should I let go of my other responsibilities and focuses as an in-house SEO manager and virtually stop, drop and roll out unique product descriptions? That would be a project that would take me at least a year to complete. Do I just give up? Do two descriptions a day and hope for the best? What do you guys think? What have you recommended for others? I can't imagine our company is alone in this dilemma. Thanks in advance! Hanna

Knowledge base for seo, announcing new articles on blog (dupe content)
Hi all, Im thinking of creating a knowledge base with all many asked questions in my company. This could be a great Link-bait source but also nice ranking opportunities i think. But sometimes some new articles are so actual that i also want to blog them.

Is there an upper bound on the number of links an url might get in a day?
There are link spammers and programs like GSA and others, that automate linkbuilding, and I was wondering if anybody ever had a penalty because a page on his site is getting too many references (links). I am not talking about spamming here. So provided that the links are coming from relevant, unique sources, but you do an over excessive campaign, and you seem to be getting too many backlinks, can it negatively affect SEO? Alternatively: is there an upper bound on the number of links you try to build in a day when you are doing linkbuilding?

Google Slower to Trust New Pages than One Year Ago?
It seems to me that Google is slower to trust (and rank) new pages today than in the past. I used to be able to put up a new page and it would go right to the top of a competitive SERP. For about the past year when I launch a new page it starts deep in the SERPs, sits there for a few weeks, then starts slowly moving up. These pages still eventually rank on the first page of Google - often at #1 or #2 after wikipedia or another strong site - but it can take a few months to get there, several months in a competitive SERP. These are not "hot news" topics where freshness is an important factor. Instead they are product pages or general information articles. Anybody else seeing this? [ Just stabbing in the dark here... I am wondering if Google is relying more on visitor behavior these days and the delay is while they collect data?... Just stabbing in the dark.]

Does every keyword need its own landing page?
So we're doing a bunch of keyword research. We've identified the big traffic, higher competition keywords and we've identified tons (thousands) of long-tail keywords that would be appropriate. What I'm wondering is: does every keyword need its own landing page (or content page)? Obviously, we'll be building content for all the primary keywords we're targeting. I'm less mystified about that. What I'm more confused about is what to do about the long tail keywords. For there to be any measurable traffic increase, we need to rank well for thousands of long tail keywords. But it's just not realistic to create thousands of quality content pieces to target each of these long tail keywords individually. So how do you go about ranking for large numbers of long tail keywords? I saw somebody post about using an FAQ page to target multiple long tail keywords which makes sense but even with that I'm not going to have a thousand questions. How does one go after large volumes of long tail keywords? Thanks, --eric

Root page not coming up first
Hello. Any idea why site:www.bestprice.gr query doesn't bring the www.bestprice.gr as the first result? Could it be that the site is under a penalty? Thanks.

Block Low Quality Pages?
What are your thoughts on blocking (in robots.txt) and/or noindexing low-quality pages to defend against Panda, assuming you can't remove, redirect, or add quality content to it? Also, assume there are no external links pointing to these low-quality pages, no social shares, and zero incoming organic traffic. Has anyone had experience with this as a solution to Panda?
