It has been a while since I’ve posted a whiteboard friday from Rand over at SEOmoz so here’s the latest one right in time for the holidays. This one he gives away some awesome link building tips to show you how you can give away products and other items to get some juicy links. If you’re running an ecommerce site then definitely watch this because it’s the best way to get links imho.

Giving Away Gifts For Links With Rand
Google PageRank Explained For Modern Times
I imagine Rand had been getting quite sick of answering so many questions about PageRank and its (un)importance when it comes to SEO. So so so many people still think obtaining PageRank is the be all end all in this game, and that’s the last thing you should be worrying about. In this day and age, it’s all about great content and a well built website to make the rest follow. Rand does a really bloody good job of explaining the system for anyone else out there still wondering what to make of it all.
Rand Talks About Preventing Link Based Penalties
It has been a while since I posted a Whiteboard Friday post from the fine folks at SEOmoz. So when I saw Rand rocking that snazzy sweater, I just new I had to do my part and share it here. I wish more people would watch this video because they have no idea the nightmare that is cleaning it all up. This video covers a whole spectrum of linking topics that will cause trouble, as well what to do to stay out of the black hole that Google can put you in at a moments notice. I highly recommend checking out their original post because they graciously provided a transcript.
Dealing With Duplicate Content
Well this repost of the video might be dupe content all on its own(lol), but I still cannot let you folks go without seeing it. Rand brings a lot of the issues and questions out in the open and I cannot think of a clearer way of getting the message. If you’ve been enjoying these Whiteboard Friday videos then check out the rest of them on Scott’s Vimeo account.
