About buy broken links...
-
I found some web adress that are not online anymore.. but when I open these adresses on open site explorer I can see links and page athority for these domains...
PA 41 and DA 29
My question is... Can I buy these adress and using their page and rank juice to my website? Because they are avaliable...
All these domains are from my country and LTD
What can I do...?
Thank you

Honestly, I would not do either one, unless my business can take the risk. If it can, then a 301 is better here, but then with a substantial risk. Not recommended.
-
This is a bad idea, the practice has been around for a while and Google is wise to it. OSE and Google don't use the same indexes, and OSE can be up to 1 month out of date at any time.
The links or 301's will not count in Google's eyes, so I wouldn't recommend it at all.
-
But in that case... what option is better...
Buy the domains and make a 301 or create one simple page in that domain with "keywords" to my money website...?
-
Technically, yes you could do it. However, here are some things to keep in mind:
1. In most cases, you will see that the domain expired, went to redemption, got deleted and then nobody else has bought it...yet. In these cases, usually the power of the domain is lost to a great extent, although not 100%. It's tricky.
2. Consider #1, since all the value is not lost, you could do this, but then are you planning to do this for 1-2 domains or 100-200 domains ? Where do you draw the line. Because technically, the question then becomes of 301'ing that old/expired/reregistered domain to your website. If you do it 1-2 times, it might be okay, but then if this becomes your primary link building technique or a big (un-natural) percentage of your backlinks, it will be nothing but trouble. I hope this helps.

Internal Links - First Link Rule Confusion
Hello All - I would like to create a guide for my team of rules for internal links and I could use some help. My understanding is that Google only counts the first link to a page, so any crafted keyword text links within the content do not count if the page in question is linked to from the main navigation. Is this correct? For example, if the menu or drop down menu in main site nav (which exists on all pages of the site) includes a link to a particular section that will be the only one that ever counts since the menu is on every page? Example: let's say a website selling cat toys includes a drop down menu on the homepage with links to "holiday cat toys". Does this mean that no other text links in content on the site will support that page from an SEO perspective since the link is in the main nav and will always be the first one counted? In the past we have added text links in the content on the homepage to important pages on the site. It seems to work, though now I'm questing these tactics based on the first link rule. I would appreciate some advice, clarification, thoughts, etc. Thanks!

Internal Linking
OSE only shows me as having 24 internal links on my home page. My internal links and total links are far less than my competitors, some of whom have 1700 on a single page. My site is www.CenterCityTeam.com and an example of a competitor with far more internal links is www.McCannTeam.com. 1) How do I get that many internal links on a page and 2) do I even want to?

Is this link Followed?
Hi All, Noticed this link in opensiteexplorer. Its not marked as no-follow, but not sure if this link would pass any value? http://goafrica.about.com/od/southafrica/a/selfdrivesa.htm Click on any external link, it takes you to a "preview" page from within the main website. Is this a false positive? As in it shows as a follow link, but when you actually click it, it doesnt redirect to the website. Any thoughts on this? Greg

Should you always link back?
I am asking this for two reasons: Courtesy: Is it common courtesy to reciprocate with a link back if somebody has linked to your site? SEO: Does linking back affect your rankings at all? A blog has linked to one of my clients' sites as part of a round-up of "top 100 best" within their industry. They have also sent us an email suggesting that we add a link from our site saying that we've been listed. Of course, I understand that it is in my clients' interest for us to advertise on their site that they've been listed in a Top 100 list... However, it got me thinking (as more of a general question) - does reciprocating a link ever affect it's value at all? ie. Is two-way linking ever considered part of a link exchange in the eyes of Google, and does it penalize you at all for that?

Diversified Link Profile?
Hello,, I was wondering what type of ratio I should follow when building links to a page on my site? Broad, Exact, Phrase, Image? Is there a percentage I should shoot for? When you build links do you generally setup an excel spread sheet and watch to see what sticks using the seomoz link too? Last question, When I am building links, should the anchor text in the content Im publishing be a keyword I am trying to rank for in a search? Typically I try to rank for only 2-3 words per page. Sorry for all the questions, any help would be appreciated! I have a competitor that is spamming to death with Press Releases quite often, and the are bouncing ahead of us with Very Low Page Authority. Thank You!!

Total Links vs Ext. Followed Links
Hi I'm fairly new to SEO and SEOMOZ. I've created a campaign for my own site and I've added 3 competitor sites. There are 1,385 total links to my site and a massive 49,450 links to one of my competitor's site. However under "Ext. Followed Links", there are 1,045 to my site and only 911 to the same competitor site. Am I correct that it is the "Ext. Followed Links" which are more important from an SEO point of view as the other links have the "no follow" attribute set? Or have I got this wrong? Thanks James

C-blocks and linking
I'm just starting to learn about cblock root domains and linking. I'm wondering about the following: Are there articles or websites to learn about dos and don'ts about getting a large number of links from one cblock? How do I know when a site has too many links versus the number of unique cblocks? I've been using Link Harvester on SEO Book and it seems like not many sites have more than 170 unique cblocks. Is this the total number of unique cblocks on the web or am I using the tool wrong?

Link Frequency
I understand that good link building is all about the quality of the link / the anchor text attached to it. But, what about frequency? Should I build until I can't build anymore? or create a plan to submit links to a certain # of sites per week/month?
