Backlink profile versus Onlywire?

15 May 12 11:13 pm

Do you use Onlywire to syndicate your content? There's a lot of talk about Google emphasizing a natural backlink profile. Wouldn't using Onlywire (and any other mass-submission tool for that matter) contribute to an unatural backlink profile?

I haven't used OnlyWire to syndicate my content. The software may have its uses in that it lets you submit your content to various social networking sites, thus making article marketing/syndication a lot easier. I don't think it will "contribute to an unnatural backlink profile", unless it submits your work in social networking sites where you do not have any accounts at all. Or if you are submitting articles at a rate that is unnatural like 5 articles in 3-5 days or something like that.

I personally do not see it as useful since you would only really have a handful of accounts for your site in social networking sites.

Isn't too many backlinks in a short period of time bad? Mass syndicating using Onlywire is tempting, but the natural backlink profile issue makes sense, and I afraid of Google giving me a hard stare.

Backlinks need to be built over time. It *is* unnatural to accumulate them over a short period of time, especially when your website is new.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

Yes, I believe quality content on your site is the best way to build backlinks -- syndicating it to get the links rolling.
