I am learning about SEO and Linking etc and I am using WordPress. Is it better to link to a specific article or the entire category in terms of long term search rankings?

You are much better of linking to a specific article rather than a category. If you link to a category it will pass down "link juice" to the articles in that category but this is unlikely to be enough to get those articles to rank.

The only time you want to link to a category is when you want the category itself to rank.

I messed my keywords up,
lets see if I can fix that
from page 1 to page 13, lets see if I can get back
lose traffic and lose money, you know that I can’t have that
social networks everywhere, where can I put my ads at
fix my SEO up
I’m trying to get back anything
fix google, no more Yahoo, they results come from bing
several profiles on ning
adding links to everything
sharing links on delicious, social bookmarking
expecting me to retreat
I won’t accept defeat
write a new blog post, put it on twitter, can I get a retweet
hashtag fb, selective tweet to facebook
hasttag blogtitle, you know what it is before you take a look
how much time will I spend, trying to make my topic trend
not too much if they don’t like it, well they don’t like it then,
more followers and more friends
haven’t reached my peek yet
checking all my social sites in one place, tweetdeck
pay per click on facebook,
include it in my marketing
cost less than google adwords and its highly targeted
locally, I look for deals, call me cheap, I don’t care
check me out on foursquare, if you want to go there
got so many profiles, sometimes I can’t stand it
bebo, myspace, virb, black planet
I stopped using all them years ago, they old and they outdated
never got into yammer, and google wave never made it
talk about what I do use
where do I begin,
facebook, tumblr, youtube, linked in
vimeo, yelp, technorati, flickr
stumbleupon, digg and I’m almost tired of twitter
you get the picture
I won’t say no more,
the internet changed its all about sharing, web 2.0
on the road or at home
mac book or on my phone
down with google android, no blackberry no iPhone
all my profiles updated
all my sites integrated
find me or my product easy I just demonstrated
this ain’t the game you should be playing if you can’t fade it
I ain’t made it yet, so don’t ask me how I made it
I do this everyday still on the hunt for my next check
mac book pro on deck
checking the web for the next tech
your best bet don’t fret yet
no sweat if its no threat
strategically planning all your moves, chess set
you add friends confirm, their interest in your project
link all your profiles to the site where they can buy that
go try that, and come back
make friends with who you’re targeting
get a buzz and it goes viral, social media marketing

Check out this link building technique created by the team at AusmedOnline.com that integrates a link building and link baiting to create the ultimate SEO strategy.

The association of Nurses in Australia now requires every nurse to track their continued professional development hours. In response to this need, Ausmed created their CPD Organiser, a free tool for their members to keep track of goals, activities and hours.

Here’s where the genius comes in. The tool includes a badge nurses can add to their websites, blogs, Facebook, etc. Watch this video to see how they incorporated a brilliant link building strategy that generates a backlink with every badge installed on a 3rd party website.

Search engine marketing can sometimes seem overwhelming. Marketing expert Bryan Eisenberg simplifies the procedure with his 5 Rs of Search Marketing. He explains how content on your site must be (1) relevant, (2) build your reputation, (3) remarkable, (4) readable, and (5) of sufficient reach.

Relevant. You need to have content that speaks to what people are interested in.
Reputation. You gradually develop a reputation for providing helpful, relevant content. Increasingly, review of your site are being noticed by Google.
Remarkable. Only really great (or really poor) content is commented on or linked to. This requires small businesses must do careful niche marketing so they can excel in an area. The rise of Zappos.com is due to their quest for excellence.
Readability. Make sure your HTML is accurate, title tags are in place, headings, keywords, etc. But also format for readability, using headlines, bullet points, graphics, and infographics. There’s an unfortunate trend towards using smaller typefaces on websites which reduces readability. With increased use of mobile devices, this is becoming a big issue.
Reach. When developing your content, write about topics that have wider interest in order to attract enough traffic to your site.

Bryan Eisenberg is a principal in Bryan & Jeffery Eisenberg and Associates. He communicates principles of conversion growth through speaking for companies and industry seminars. This interview was recorded at the Search Engine Strategies (SES) Conference in Chicago in October 2010.
