Is using the "suggest links" tool even wise for SEO strategy? If it reduces the amount of time?

I think that a good strategy is to not use them in the first or second capsule. Use them sparingly on the remainder. It is true the community should support one another, however, you need to keep your readers as long as possible.

Use the suggested links to link to your own articles. Then to others and keep them very appropriate. What I mean is, ask yourself, is this a good time for some readers to select another hub?

Use anchor text to link to your own writings. For example, I write a lot of appliance repair hubs, I link to the safety precautions, and to the tools used hubs, those hubs have links back to my original hubs. These links will help keep readers on your hubs.In some ways this is a selfish endeavor.

You need to do the best for yourself and then link to only stuff you really like. I don't personally like random linking to stuff that is not related. I find the suggested links are many times nuisance links, taking a reader to a hub that is not only not related, but is not linking back to you.

You want your reader to follow a link that helps them with their search. Valuable links are added value to you.

The idea is you help them, and they help you. And you can always link to your own articles that are related, or even to your own blog on similar subjects.

Using 1 or 2 isn't a bad thing. If everyone used them it would benefit everyone tremendously.

The suggest link tool is not "good" for our SEO, sir. It suggests an anchor text/phrase for an outbound link. If any SEO benefit (particularly SERP) can be gleaned from the tool, the target hub (the one we are linking to) gets it, not our hub.

That is true for any outbound link from our pages. We are leaking juice, as they say. I'm not sure but I think HubPages has a "nofollow" on all links by default.

If that's true, then nobody really benefits from the links, SEO-wise, IMHO. It's more like we earn the goodwill of our readers for showing them related articles where they get additional information. We cannot hog the attention of our readers.

One way or another, they will be gone. We just hope that they will leave with a good feeling and be back, even for the reason that they believe that our hubs are good starting points in their search for information.

I agree with team A. It really helps everyone else when there links are added to your hub. You can also add links to your hubs as well.

That's really important for SEO.

It think it is still good becauseit ads alittle bit of color to your hub presentation and it also helps promote other hubbers hub.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
