Dan Durick posted about how the economy can affect search behavior. Look at the numerous sources and graphics included in his post. It adds a lot of depth and credibility to the piece, because it relies on third party data and is more work than a typical spammer is willing to do (though many low level linkbaits do source 3rd party stats as a strategy). Anytime you add in 3rd party data you become a guy speaking truth and teaching rather than the salesman. Just by glancing at that blog post and knowing what you already know about search and market research data you have a big advantage over 99% of your market.

cheers for that, I found the link building fundamentals post quite useful and have been wondering about the nofollow deal for a while.
I have a couple of questions that I'm not sure about if anyone could clear up that would be much appreciated!
thanks for that, I have a couple of questions:
- do you need to have the link in the actual comment box (i.e. this one that I'm writing in) or will it just be enough having it in the Website field?
- what is the deal with anchor text? To rank for the KW's you want do you need to link from this comment box using a A HREF tag and the keywords you want?
- Should you link to a specific page / post or just to your main page?
- does a link to a specific post still help your main site?
Thanks alot for the post and the links. The contest yawn..
@Jack your questions are pretty well explained in alot of posts; also on this site. If you really want to stay up to day; read all SEO -caugh- search marketing -cough- marketing on the web blog's out there.
A search for the term "link building" is another good way to retrieve your information.
I myself am a paying member of this site and it's really worth the money. I'm quite amazed to read all the stuff that's been posted. It's like the iphotostock of seo -caugh- search marketing -caugh- *insert mumbling here*..
Hi Aaron, don't want to be considered as link dropper but since you have covered other link bulding fundamentals, I thought of telling SEO Book Readers about my own Link Building list. :) http://www.nbridges.com/tips
Yes, I have put your 2006 link building list as a resource and inspiration for this one :)
