SEO Startup, Guest Posting, Bing Disavow Links, Speedlink 26:2012

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week. What’s new? Well, if it is not Google, its Bing, Facebook or Apple… So much is happening that it is really quite difficult to catch up. Anyway, the most noteworthy news that called my attention this week was that of Twitter cutting ties with Linkedin, Bing’s recent updates and YouTube now allowing you to associate your account with your Google+ profile.

Bing, who recently launched its new webmaster tools, including their awesome on-page SEO Analyzer, has yet released another feature for SEOs, that being the possibility of “disavowing” links from sites you may deem spammy. This is a feature that has been discussed for a while now, specially after Google rolled out its Penguin update. Quite frankly, I am still thinking on how to put this this new feature to good use, but until then, perhaps you can help by leaving your comments. In addition, you may want to start including Bing as part of your SEO strategy. While Google is still the dominant force, Bing’s share on search has been rising.

Not surprising, as aside from its benefits, it is by far, the best “link building” strategy currently available. Now, just like anything else, there are good ways and not so good ways to properly launch a guest posting campaign. Watch the video below from SEOMoz on how to get started.

As usual, in no particular order:
