Interlinking articles and posts
-
I have many articles and blog posts on my site. How should I interlink them for the MOST benefit to my root domain. For example, should I consider pointing pages with higher SEOMoz page rank or trust to those with lower rank? Or does that not matter?
-
Of course it is a factor to take into consideration but certainly never the only one.
-
If the same principle of passing page authority through external links applies to internal links, then I guess it makes sense to take this into consideration, but I would make it a secondary consideration.
-
I understand. All things being relevant... would you EVER consider Page Authority or Moz Rank AT ALL to decide which pages you link to first?
-
I agree with cees, you need to think about the user experience here.
Would the link provide a benefit to the reader? i.e. does it link to a page with more information about the topic being described in the article?
If so, and it's genuinely helpful, then do it, but if you're linking for the sake of linking, I'd think twice as the site could come across as a bit spammy.
-
First of all look for relevant link opportunities. If you want to link to your root domain do it from articles with have strong relevance with your main keywords of the root domain. Use a keyword in the article as anchor text to link back to your root. Having relevant text in the article around the link with synonims of the kewywords is also important.
It is also very important to consider if the links are user friendly. Don´t overdo things. Don´t put too many links in each article. Try to imagine yourself as a reader of the article and consider if the link can be useful for your visitor.
The Moz rank should not be the most important factor for linking.
Relevance and usability that´s what count.

Migrating blog posts to new site
I'm in the process of setting up a new site for a client, moving them over to WordPress from Joomla. They've got 50ish blog posts on their old site, but none of them have accumulated any external links. Is it worth it to copy them over to the new site for the sake of retaining all that content, or better just to start from scratch?

Pr4 domain backlink from a blog post
I'm about to do a guest blog post on a pr4 domain. Will I be getting an actual pr4 backlink? I'm thinking since it's technically not going to be on the homepage forever since it's just a blog post and also a blog post has it's on page once you click on it I'm not going to get a pr4 backlink. Correct?

Article Backlinks To Product Pages
I am writing a number of 500 word articles and have read that Top 10 lists are becoming more and more popular on the web. So my thoughts are to write an article about the the 'Top 10 Mens Grooming Products 2013' for example. My questions is - do I post this article on my own website with the 10 links to the product pages using the product name as 'anchor text', or post the article to somewhere like Squidoo containing the links to my product pages. Which strategy has more SEO value?

Lost inbound link from Huffington Post???
My website was featured on HuffPost's "7 Sites You Should Be Wasting Your Time On" in September of 2011 and somewhere along the way it no longer gets recognized as a linking domain? The site/page itself ('7 Sites' from Sept 2011) still exists through direct linking, and my site's link is still on there. I am looking at it right now (still knew the URL because I put it as a link in the 'About' section of my site). Any theories as to how/why this happened and if it is due to something on my end? Any way to get it back?

Ezine articles - worth it with a PA of 1?
If I write an article on Ezine Articles, it has a page authority of 1. I guess this is to be expected until that page is crawled, but is it actually worth writing these articles? Does the DA 'count' for anything here? Can I ever expect the PA to increase? (unless I build links to the article - in which case I may as well spend that time building links to my site)
