I think about linking a lot…since it frustrates the heck out of me and all. For this reason, a lot of the reading I do has to do with link development.
The last few days have been fairly active as far as link news goes and the two posts listed below will get you caught up on the knowledge, drama and linking shenanigans that keep the SEM world interesting.
First, the Link Juicy Blog has a really good interview with Michael Gray up that dives into the world of linking from SEO. The interview covers subjects from link baiting strategy, the offline origins of “link bait” marketing and the ongoing debate about how Google is dealing with paid links.
There are certainly some worthwhile morsels in this one, so take a gander at Michael Gray Interview: Advanced Linking Strategies.
Second Loren Baker of Search Engine Journal reports on the Google PageRank update/smackdown that seem to be going on as well as other strange linking phenomenon that are being reported around the web. There seems to be very interesting (if not a little scary) things going down behind the walls Google right now.
