Moving along quickly

[Graven29]

So I have come a long way in a few weeks, bought a couple websites (after never having one before) and I am hiring people on Amazon's MTurk (with money I made on Mturk as a worker). I really have jumped into this water headfirst. I have been studying day in and day out. Hopefully this works, because I have put in a lot of hours (every free one I have). One question I have is how can I get people to link to my site/pages? I figure I have to wait for my content to get good, but I am still unsure what to do at that point. Any advice would be nice.

Just 12 days ago I started that post. I really appreciate all the help I got from there to here.

Quick update - had 5 projects out to Mturk - and had to reject 3 of them. The other 2 required a lot of work on my part to improve to a level that I felt I could put on my page. It almost feels like I should have just written the pages myself. At this point, if the next round doesn't satisfy me, I will write them myself. How do I get a quality piece without paying a fortune? Anyone have a working SEO article template?

Mturk is a game that it seems takes a while to learn. You need to build up some reputation yourself to attract the best turkers and you need to ensure you construct the HIT very carefully and set the minimum qualifications required to do the job.

There are some exceptionally good writers working at Mturk. Read the MTurk forums if you want some clues on finding them.

Congratulations on your initial successes What type of websites did you buy? It sounds as though they are content publishing? Starting out does require a whole lot of hours.

Link building is a skill unto itself. It is not easy. The easy backlinks, blog commenting and forum signatures are pretty much worthless. The most valuable are recognised news sites and sites with authority IMO.

I would suggest changing your question from 'How can I get people to link to me' to 'How do I build traffic to my site'. Links in and of themselves have no value unless they bring traffic. You are correct; High quality content will bring and keep visitors on your site. A good thread here is Ideas for Getting Traffic.

I have not yet had a writer provide work which did not require editing, but am sometimes too much of a perfectionist and that can have a negative impact upon profitability. Everybody wants quality writing without paying half-a-fortune , so buying cheap and editing is one answer.

For SEO, there are two areas of consideration. One is on-page factors (which includes articles) and the other is off-site. (Your backlinking, writing for others, press releases, etc. are off-site ranking factors.) For on-page factors, the best two guides I found on the subject are SEOmoz On-Page Factors and Vaughns Ranking Factors
