MenuWhat are good outreach strategies to research and find international blogs/websites/partnerships to increase international traffic to my website?
My website targets mainly international users, but a majority of my traffic comes from the USA.
Most of my competitors get plenty of international traffic; what are some good methods to outreach and find international blogs/websites/partnerships that can help increase international traffic to my site?
Answers
1. Explore competitor backlink and citation profiles.
Looking at their backlink and citation data will help you identify relevant websites that may be useful for you to work with.
In addition to this, you'll likely identify competitor marketing tactics that can help spark your own ideas.
2. Use a tool like Buzzstream or GroupHigh.
If you haven't used these tools before, you essentially enter a few keywords related to your industry and the tools return blogs, publications and influencers along with marketing metrics to help you assess who to contact and also with your outreach management.
The alternative to using tools like this is to do it manually using search operators.
3. Use Buzzsumo.
Put your competitor domains and/or relevant industry keywords into this tool.
You'll find the best performing content in your defined period of time for selected keywords or a domain. You'll also be able to see the people who shared this content on Twitter allowing you to broaden your potential network.
There are quite a few different ways to get started, but I think those above are the easiest and help spark some immediate ideas.

local business affiliate marketing.
If you are looking to achieve the key goal of increasing international traffic to your site I would recommend you approach this from 2 different areas of digital strategy:
1. The technical setup of you website that will help increase international organic traffic to your website
- What is the current organic visibility of your website in different countries? You can check this using Search Analytics in Google Search Console or you can check manually for a specific set of keywords (currently included in your page titles of your web pages) across different countries in Google. (Check out the Google Global Chrome plugin to help do this).
- Currently what is your domain setup online?
- Do you have one .com website that has content pages that target just the US?
Google highlights the Pros and Cons very well at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en on the different technical domain configurations that can have an impact on organic performance. For a .com US website for example wanting to target different countries internationally I would recommend creating a sub-folder per target country setup, with tailored country-specific content per sub-folder section. These sub-folders can then be geo configured to different country Google search engine results.
2. The outreach and content strategy can help increase referral and social traffic, boost brand awareness and also boost SEO performance also.
- Look for specific country and industry social groups within LinkedIn, Facebook and Google + to help identify new potential bloggers and also share your content
- Look for specific content hubs that will help you identify the best blogs by country and industry. www.alltop.com is particularly good for this as it has sub-domains per country and industry niche
- Promoting content and services in the best country-specific forums may be worth doing (providing you can spend the time to build up a genuine profile in the forum to help build trust). Use tools such as www.similarweb.com to determine how popular a forum is and whether it's worth engaging in on a regular basis.
- Can you network locally with any international like-minded people using websites such as www.internations.org or www.meetup.com and attend local meetings? This may help develop new relationships where you can mutually benefit from others and gain more exposure for your brand and site.
- Outreach to people you can find via blogger directories such as:
https://www.blogcatalog.com/
http://www.blogflux.com/
http://www.blogarama.com/
http://www.blogdigger.com/index.html
If you are based in the US or the UK you are more likely to find more suitable blog partners through these but if you are in another country you may want to do a more local search for country specific blog directories.
Finding social influencers and engaging with them individually by sharing your blog content, information, services and products.
Some useful tools to help do this are:
Buzzstream Discovery - https://idb.buzzstream.com - Social Influencer Discovery
Buzzsumo - https://app.buzzsumo.com/ - Content popularity and social influencer discovery
BuzzBundle - http://www.buzzbundle.com/ - Social Monitoring, Content Alerts and Influencer Discovery

http://www.notey.com/ - Find specific content authors by country and theme
http://content.onalytica.com/ - Find influencers that fit your content

This method will require the most effort to engage in the social community but is likely to provide the best quality results
I currently do a lot of international digital strategy so let me know if you need any further support.

Is it possible to increase my site's SEO by getting blogs/other websites to provide back links to my site?
If you got 5000 sites to link to your site using the same keyword you'll likely be flagged for spam and attempting to manipulate the search results. That is an old-school attempt at SEOing a site that Google and the other search engines have already developed algorithmic answers to. There are three aspects to building up your search rankings. 1) On-Site Optimization: Your site has to be coded in a way that is search and mobile friendly. You need to optimize your content for searcher's topical interest's (keywords), and give your visitors a great on-site experience by focusing on usability issues. 2) Content: You need to create and publish awesome content that fills the needs of the audience you're trying to reach. Write blog posts and create other forms of content that answer questions, provide tips, and map out solutions that truly illustrate that you are an authority on the topic. 3) Social Engagement / Links: Links are an important part of the algorithm, but getting a bunch of sites to link to you using keywords is the wrong approach. You need to be engaging on social media and (to a far lesser extent) socializing your content above. But the more you engage, the more others will socialize your content for you, which is where authority is really built.SD

Will redesigning a website (ground up) ruin the search ranking of a site?
TL;DR -> Yes you will risk it if you don't perform a proper audit and migration from the original platform. Any type of architecture changes can 100% ruin your SEO if you are not migrating content and topics correctly. Many people assume this is limited to URI structure but underestimate the power of Topical hierarchy and the content, internal linking and URI structure which play a crucial role into any migration effort. If you have any questions about the migration process, give me a shout. Decent free migration checklist: https://searchengineland.com/site-migration-seo-checklist-dont-lose-traffic-286880TM

SEO: Subdomain or subdirectory for blog?
Google's official stance is that they are "roughly equivalent" and recommends to do what is technically simpler to implement (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk). With that said, I'd recommend a directory over a subdomain. Doing this consolidates signals to a single domain, which should then theoretically build more authority for all pages off of that single domain. This consolidation of authority results in rank increases, which have been documented here: http://moz.com/community/q/moz-s-official-stance-on-subdomain-vs-subfolder-does-it-need-updating. A subdomain would split signals from the blog and the rest of the root domain content. So while Google "says" they're roughly equivalent, SEOs have seen tangible evidence that sticking to a single domain can be beneficial. If you're able to go with www.iconery.com/editorial/, I'd choose that. Hope this helps!KR
