Jim Boykin’s Favorite SEO Writings.

Posted by to Jim Boykin's Blog

Since I’ll be taking a blog break for ~6 weeks, I thought I’d leave some of my favorite post here on top, and organized nicely 😉 (Pulled from how it’s organized from my link teams training page).

Link Building Philosophies:
Picture of Link Neighborhoods  
Changes and Paranoia – the sky is falling
Why that site with 50 backlinks beats your site with 1000 backlinks.

Buying links under the radar

How to find the best Pages on these sites to get links from:

Part Two: Tips for finding the best pages to get links from.

How to place you links on these pages:

    It’s nice to see all your posts under one big picture – it helps bring focus and clarity to your methods of finding links. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge Jim… I’ve learned a lot from you this past year.

    If you ever go broke again, at least you have enough material to sell a $47 link building e-book 🙂

    Take care

    I’ve been following the advice of one Jim’s articles and trying to buy clean text links from smaller non-commercial sites, mostly blogs. I’m wondering what you guys go on when offering a price for links?

    Hey Jim,

    I’d rather put THAT post up on the homepage or an interstitial that helps navigate people your blog… that’s like the “what you ever need to read to understand SEO on Google 2006” 🙂

    talking about the ebook – I’d compile that today and start selling it… 🙂
