You need content to post in order to utilize LinkOrbit. Posting articles is how you build links and are able to have full control over your link’s anchor text.

One of our favorite users was kind enough to walk through the process step-by-step and explain the differences in “Post by Category” and “Post by Blog.”

Ignore the fact that the navigational menu is glitchy, we were updating it at that time!

 

Finding expiring domains can be tricky. Understanding the domain expiration process can be even more tricky. Grace periods, well, they suck. that’s the time when a domain will either go to auction or as we say in Minnesota, “put out to pasture.”

Looking at the link profile is a good way to determine one aspect when considering the value of the domain. Several points of consideration come to mind:

* Domain Authority (OSE/Majestic)

* External back links (Majestic)

* Time frame of inbound link. (Majestic)

* This tool will search beautifully through NameJet. From there, we add Moz Metrics and data from Majestic. Open Site Explorer is very time consuming to use, our too will make it fun to sort your results. The keyword search is fast.. very fast. In fact, it is hard to just run one query. Have fun! 

The domain expiration keyword tool will do more in a fraction of a second, what other make you pay for. Sort through results by typing your niche, keyword, region, or product name into the keyword tool. Immediately all of the relevant results will display under your keyword tool search. All of the keyword tool’s results will come with MozMetrics and toolbar PageRank. The keyword search is very powerful and we use it daily here at LinkOrbit. Feel free to use our tool, just don’t drive up our prices at auction (only kidding!), after all, we are all in this together!

We would love to hear of any suggested features to make this tool even better!

Is Blogging Worth the Effort?

Why do you have a blog? Is it to connect an audience? Is it to provide fuel to your link building campaign? Or, perhaps,  you want to show your user base that you are an expert and build out your network. Either way, it seems that businesses have always had troubles identifying exactly how to use the blog once it is launched.

Let’s look into what some common practices are with building your audience.

My Blog is up & My Post is Published.. Now What?

How do I get my new blog posts seen?
How do I get my new blog posts ranking in Google?
How do I get comments on my blog posts?
How do I get links to my new blog posts?

Where Does a Blog Post Go? (LinkOrbit services in Red)

These issues are very common. In fact, it is one of the main reasons we started Link Orbit. Couple this with being bombarded by hype marketers, overseas email spam; it’s enough to drive even the best experts batty. Traditional link building and the “SEO Link Building” emails you receive almost every day.. those companies do very little for link building  to your blog. It’s not “connected” to a network.

Lee Odden, a top expert in blogging, YouTube, and social media, while presenting at SESSF 2011 (Search Engine Strategies) conference, stated, “53% of the internet activity is content consumption,” and as a veteran myself, I know that this makes it very challenging for sole proprietors, small businesses, and SEO agencies with local clients to get new content out in front of the right people. 152 million blogs on the web, tens of billions of tweets and Facebook shares happening monthly.. what makes yours special? Without a network it’s **** near impossible, isn’t it? It is!

LinkOrbit’s goal is to provide users a way to not have to think so hard about how to find a solution to the common blog post momentum problems.

For this reason, Link Orbit has:

• built an algorithm to score content

Better content will tap into our networks and receive maximum “link juice” and social media shares.

• built networks for industries

Not just domains with link profiles, sure we do have those, but we also have the ability to send traffic & momentum to worthwhile posts.

• built in workflow settings for greater control over posting and article distribution

Free content without sacrificing your quality standards.

• a LinkOrbit alogrithm scores content by several factors

The more a user understands the LinkOrbit algorithm, the easier it will be to start producing top-quality resources and posts.

LinkOrbit will help alleviate several tasks from a blogger:

1. Social media distribution (Twitter)
2. Blog post distribution
3. Official post indexation

We realize this is only three of many tasks required to have a high-quality blog post achieve maximum impact and momentum. LinkOrbit’s goal is to build up to all these features and provide unparalleled tools to each and every member with a blog.
