Link Building
Mac SEO : Backlink Diversification Tactics - Link Networks
Take your Mac back-link building efforts to the next level - beyond Directory, Social Bookmarking, Article Submission, Forum and Blog commenting. Few web masters have the time and discipline to do all those effectively, and even fewer explore more advanced, higher-value and deeper one-way back-linking strategies. <-- And there is where you can gain an absolute ranking advantage. By simply doing what most of your competitors don't.
With any OSX compatible web browser you can get your links and anchor text into powerful places beyond your own blogs and sites. Back-link building systems like TextLinks.com can get your links inside of blog posts you either write yourself, or that are inserted contextually within related content articles written by others. You can also opt for link placement in the sidebar or footers of a wide range of blogs. A free trial will get you started, and there's both a monthly subscription or pay-per-credit option for those who prefer to pay as you go.
Such services allow you DIRECT control over so many aspects - something you largely lose when you outsource link building. Such placements offer higher value and relevance than Social bookmarking and mass Directory submission, yet are less demanding than full Article Marketing. One small article, with anchored links - in the body of the content - which is exactly where you want it.

Social Bookmarking 'Software' For Mac OSX Users
Lacking many of the RSS, Directory Submission and Social Bookmarking programs for Mac OSX that Windows users take for granted, it's nice to see some web-based alternatives that make submitting and bookmarking your sites easy on a Mac computer. IMAutomator is an elegant, if modest tool that takes the right approach to cross-platform neutrality. Any OS, any browser can interact with Automator's interface to add your URLs and RSS feeds, extract your site Title, Description and Keywords, let you assign a category, posting speed - and hit submit.
A free trial to IMAutomator is a great place to start promoting your site's pages and posts. Here you can submit up to 10 URL's to 15 random Social sites in their list. Upgrading to Pro via a monthly subscription adds the ability to submit your blog's .xml RSS feeds and increases the total number of Social Bookmark sites submitted to over 50 as of this writing.
IMAutomator has bigger plans in the months ahead : More and higher ranking sites in their lists, the ability to rotate multiple Titles and site descriptions, and eventually add Directory and Article submission tools. At this point, Automator is a handy tool as is to increase your backlink building power. TIP: Be sure to bookmark every page, every post you have to get maximum deep-linking benefits. If it has a URL - run it through IMAutomator! Mac users who run multiple sites will find a paid monthly subscription to be very worthwhile.
As-is, it's a powerful piece of a much larger link-building and SEO strategy that you should be pursuing. Automated SEM tools are great, but should be combined with the more varied, random and diverse organic links you ought to be building by hand as you do your daily webmaster and internet marketing chores.
