If you moved home you wouldn’t think twice about having your mail re-directed or telling your friends your new address. In fact, you may go out of your way to make sure everyone knows by throwing a house warming party and sending out invitations. However, a surprising amount of businesses when changing their website address or making significant changes to their web pages, CMS, content or URL’s let anyone know at all – least of all search engines.

Re Targeting is one of the growing marketing strategies and the two speakers were both very knowledgeable.

Guy Levine from Return on Digital

Key Link Building Strategies – #seslondon

Lisa

Obviously Link building is a huge part of any SEO strategy and it was great to hear from two great speakers on the subject.

Patrick Altoft from Branded3

Patrick started the session indicating that he was covering a lot of the basics.
Links are important, once you have completed your onsite optimisation everything else should be focused towards link building. Most people don’t give it the attention that it deserves.

Link analysis
Very important to define what types of links your site is going to need to compete. Every site is different and you won’t know what links are needed until an analysis is complete. Look at anchor text link profiling against your competition. Segment them into brand vs. non brand links which will identify the areas that you are strong and weak in.
Domain authority reports through open site explorer shows your number of links from quality domains. Very useful for pitching too.
