You’ve probably noticed that a lot of link building and SEO guides focus on creating high-quality content. There’s a good reason for that: it’s far easier to build links to top-quality content because that’s what gets shared. Businesses and individuals are in search of quality material to link to so that they have something of value to offer their website visitors, and if you’ll notice, few people link to a homepage, product page or shopping cart.
Of course, there’s a difference between creating content that is simply stuffed with keywords and links, and creating top-notch blogs and articles that are specifically geared towards helping you build authoritative links to your website. And just to be sure that we are speaking the same language, here are two important definitions:
Content marketing is when you create and share content (articles, blogs, infographics) for the purpose of driving traffic to your website and navigating visitors through your marketing funnel in order to acquire new customers.
Link building is when you get other websites or blogs to link to your web page in order to improve your search engine rankings. The engines crawl the web looking for links between your web pages and other websites to decide how valid your content is and thus where your page should rank in their search results.
As far as the search engines are concerned, if your website or blog contains a lot of authoritative links plus receives a lot of links to it, then you are not only considered popular, but valid, too. And search engines are constantly evolving their algorithms to discern the spammy links from the trustworthy ones, which means that valuable content and inbound marketing are more important than ever.
Because 93% of marketers use content in their marketing strategy and 42% of them regard their content marketing skills as effective, this is an area where you don’t want to get left behind! In this guide, we’re going to share tactics that will help you create linkable high-quality content for your website as well as use that content for link building to your website.
In the introduction, we explained that linkable, well-crafted content is that which is specifically geared towards helping you build links to your website. But let’s step back for a moment and explain what exactly quality material is.
High-quality content is made up of:
By incorporating these five points, your work will stand heads and shoulders above the crowd.
The first thing to do is start the process with in-depth research. Find the top pieces of content about your subject and determine what each one of them is missing. You’ll probably find that out of ten posts, each one covers something different. If you combine all those ideas into one piece of content with your own unique take on the subject, you’re already well on your way to success!
In addition, aim for meaty posts with over 1,000 words. Studies from analyzing a million articles have shown that content that is 1,000+ words tends to get the most social shares and backlinks.
If you’re not a writer, don’t worry. There are plenty of freelance writers that you can hire to create content for you. Just be sure to find someone who is an expert in your particular niche and who loves writing (trust me, you’ll be able to tell the difference in the finished product!). The fastest way to do this is to look at the top online publications in your niche and see if any of the bylines belong to freelancers. Or just do a search like this on Google:
This search will give you the top writers in your niche along with some samples from their portfolio, which you should definitely read to ensure that their style of writing is appropriate for your brand. Run the search for sites that produce the type of content you are looking to create in order to find writers who already have a handle on the topic and are experts at crafting high-quality content.
Once you have hired someone to create some really cream-of-the-crop writing, it’s time to add the elements that will transform it into linkable material. Here are the elements that you will need in your content and how each will help you get links:
It’s one thing to say that Facebook is the most popular social network on the planet, but without the numbers to back it up, it just comes off as opinion. But when you write that with 1.55 billion active monthly users, 83.5% of which are outside of the US and Canada, Facebook is the most popular social network on the planet, this is no longer opinion; it’s fact-based writing with the statistics to back it up. This is what separates the experts from the amateurs.
Cite specific sources for every one of your claims throughout your article so that readers instantly get that they are looking at a well-researched piece of content. This gives them a reason to trust you and link to your content rather than content written by others. It also allows the readers to dive deeper into the subject to which you sourced if that interests them.
Another way to add credibility to your writing is by using quotes. For example, I could say that link-building methods of the past will no longer help your website. But again, that’s just opinion, and unless you already consider me an expert, you won’t necessarily pay heed to it.
On the other hand, if I say that John Mueller of Google suggests that webmasters should focus less on link building as it’s been done in the past and instead focus more on creating high-quality content that is easy to link to, I have now added expert opinion from Google, a source that most people trust. All the better if I can use word-for-word quotes that are hyperlinked to the source.
[embed src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h1t5fs5VcI#t=3340" width="600" height="450"]
Even if someone has never heard the name John Mueller, the fact that he is from Google makes him an instant expert in the area of SEO. When you can’t find specific research or statistics, expert quotes are the next best thing to back them up.
In addition to making your content higher quality by adding in expert opinion, you have also added influencers to the article who might actually help you promote it. Even if Mueller doesn’t link to your content, he might share it with his 14.4k Twitter followers, which may in turn prompt one of his fans to share it with their own audience or link to your content.
Last, but not least, are resources. Look for opportunities throughout your content to mention specific resources. For example:
Better yet, don’t just include links; include images that show what people will find when they click through to one of your recommendations, like this quick peek at a report from SEMrush.
For the average reader, this adds more value to your content because you are giving them additional resources that provide substantial information. Remember, you’ll stand out from the competition by doing this because so few people take the time to give their readers this kind of value.
You have also added more opportunities to connect with people to let them know that you have featured them, their resource or their product in your latest piece of content. Resulting shares based on “ego-baiting” (creating content that features an influencer for the purpose of getting a link or share from them in return) have the potential to result in links.

Pong was one of the first video games ever made and was the first successful commercial game. When Pong was first created the developers most likely struggled with the logic for the code, however, nowadays you can make a simple two player Pong with one method call, colliders, and sprites. Pong gets harder to create once the decision to make a one-player Pong is made. In this tutorial, we will create the base gameplay for Pong and break down a very simple AI alternative that still adds to gameplay value.
We must ask, what are the core elements of Pong gameplay? Here is a list with the answer to that question:
With this list we can beginning programming the game.
Note that any numbers used relating to a game object’s location, rotation, scale, etc are relative and may need to be changed for your specific setup.

In the first part of our Appserver series, we discussed the very high level differences of Appserver’s architecture to standard web server stacks and got you up and running with an Appserver instance. If you missed that part, please take the time to read it.
In this part, we will be exploring the Appserver architecture a bit more in depth. We will go through the concepts of the different contexts and the parts of Appserver you get out of the box, which cover some of the ground most of the popular PHP frameworks offer. We will also configure the web server and look into an application’s structure. Once we are finished, you should have a fair understanding about Appserver’s contexts in relation to threading, the web server, and its setup.
In subsequent parts, we’ll continue to go over the servlet engine in more detail, the persistence container, beans, the messaging system and the timer module. (Note: as this series evolved, the direction also changed, in order to include more practical information to break up the dry theory.)
As we had discussed in the first part, in today’s standard web server scenario, you will have a web server and either a web server module (mod_php) or a php process manager (PHP-FPM), to serve the PHP scripts/applications. The web server and the PHP process manager or module both handle their own work and threading to serve either the web page or the PHP application.
In this same respect, Appserver also handles threading for the client developer. However, the usage of the threads is somewhat different. The contents built within a thread aren’t constantly built and destroyed during the time appserver is running. In other words, as long as the appserver is running, the code you have given it to run, will continue to run (stay in memory) for each request. This fundamental difference is being repeated, as it is very important for understanding everything else we’ll be diving into.

Python is a wonderful language. Well, it at least taught Gloria to love again! This is an expected thing to happen with a language packed with many attractive features. It is free and open source, simple, easy to learn, etc. It is thus no surprise that Python came in 5th place among 20 other programming languages in 2015, having a lead over well-known languages like PHP and JavaScript. Check out the source for this statistic.
I'm pretty sure that the reasons mentioned above could be sufficient for someone to move to Python as the language of choice. And, here comes my role. I will try to make such a transition as smooth as possible, by teaching you important concepts in Python in a simple manner.
Enough introduction, and let's get started! In this article, I will review (or introduce) an important concept in Python, Lists, which is necessary to know before moving forward towards more advanced topics.
Suppose you have created a list of tasks to work on for the day. In other words, you have created a to-do list. Say that your to-do list was as follows:
Let's write this list in Python. One way to do that is assign each to-do task to a variable, as follows:
todo1 = 'write blog post'
todo2 = 'reply to email'
todo3 = 'read in a book'
What if we had a longer list of to-dos? It is not feasible to assign each to-do a separate variable, is it? Lists here come into play.
Python lists are considered the most versatile data type. Lists are created using square brackets [ ]. The values (items) of the list are inserted between those square brackets, and separated by a comma. So, let's see what our above to-do list would look like using lists.
todo = ['write blog post', 'reply to email', 'read in a book']
Great! But that's not all—there is more we can do with lists, as will be shown in a moment.
Lists make it easy to access items regardless of the number of items you have in the list. This is done using an index. For instance, our todo list consists of three items. In Python, indexing starts from the value 0. So, the first item in the list will have index 0, the second item index 1, and so forth.
Let's say we want to access the last item in the todo list, that is 'read in a book'. This can be simply done as follows:
todo[2]
At the end of the day, you should have finished the tasks or at least some task on your to-do list. Say that you have written a blog post. In this case, you need to remove this to-do from the list. In order to do that, you can simply use the function del. The task we want to remove is the task with index 0. So, in order to remove that item from the list, type the following:
del todo[0]
In this case, our todo list will look as follows:
todo = ['reply to email', 'read in a book']
Oh, you now realized that you would like to replace the read in a book task with read 5-pages from the book in order to be more specific, especially when you realized that this is a good practice for getting things done (GTD). All you need to do is access the index of that element, and type your new task:
todo[1] = 'read 5-pages from the book'
The todo list will now look as follows:
['reply to email', 'read 5-pages from the book']
Well, you feel you have some time for a new task, and you decided to add the task call the consultation service at the end of your todo list. This can be simply done using the append() function, as follows:
todo.append('call the consultation service')
The todo list will now look as follows:
['reply to email', 'read 5-pages from the book','call the consultation service']
Wait a minute, you remember that you had an old to-do list old_todo that you decided to combine with your current to-do list todo. Is there a way to do that, or do we have to copy and paste the items from the old list to the current one?
old_todo = ['buy grocery', 'wash car', 'borrow a book from the library']
You can simply concatenate the two lists using the + operator as follows:
new_todo = todo + old_todo
The new to-do list new_todo will now look as follows:
['reply to email', 'read 5 pages from the book', 'call the consultation service', 'buy grocery', 'wash car', 'borrow a book from the library']
Notice if you wrote new_todo = old_todo + todo, items in old_todo will come first in the new list.
We now have a nice to-do list. Let's see how many items we have so far. Simply type:
len(new_todo)
You should get six items. A reasonable number of tasks for your day, I guess.
Say that you have a very long list, and you just wanted to make sure that you have a particular task listed. Rather than manually looking for that item, you can use in as follows:
'wash car' in new_todo
If the item 'wash car' is in the list, you should get True as a return value.
Lists, as we have seen, are very flexible object types. The nice thing about lists is that they can contain any object type, even lists!
For instance, you can create a list that looks as follows:
complex_list =['Abder', '4.0', ['write blog post','grocery'],[['a','b','d','e','r'],['number','todo']]]
Notice that the list not only contains different object types and a list, but also a list of lists. Isn't that wonderful?
Lists can be used with the for-loop in an interesting way. I will show one example of this in this section.
Say that you have the following list and you wanted to repeat each item three times:
abder = ['a','b','d','e','r']
You can do this as follows:
new_list = []
abder=['a','b','d','e','r']
for r in abder:
new_list.append(r * 3)
The result will thus be:
['aaa', 'bbb', 'ddd', 'eee', 'rrr']
From this article, we can see the power, flexibility, and simplicity of Python represented in its Lists. Lists proved itself as a very versatile object type through which we can group different object types, including other Lists, and perform different operations on the List in a simple manner. For more operations on Lists, you can consult Python's documentation.
