Link Ratio
-
Hello,
When Building backlinks is there a specific ratio I should try to follow to avoid any issues with google?
Thank you!

Yes Follow No Follow, as well as all other link options, (broad links) (exact backlinks), blogs, PRs' Blog comments, directory submissions, PR1-PR8-9(ifpossible). Reason I ask is b/c I have a competitor how is doing everything wrong yet ranking SO WELL. Im pulling my hair out, analyzing their links they are 80% directory submissions, 70-80% exact match backlinks, and they pages are so stuffed with keywords its not even funny, yet google places them within the top 10-20.
Thanks guys!

It might be worth fleshing your question out a little. What ration are you referring to? See Rand's WBF on avoiding link based penalty http://www.seomoz.org/blog/preventing-linkbased-penalties-whiteboard-friday

Are you referring to the ratio followed vs. no followed links? There are some good answers about that here.

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

How to link build?
Hello all. I've been having intense conversations with an experienced SEO, who has told me that the only way to get consistent links to your website, and to build you business through the web is through blogger outreach, and then paying the bloggers to put your appropriate content on their high Page Ranking website. To me, this may well be right. But it sounds dull as anything. Any thoughts? William

Why am I getting links in my link report from sites that no longer exist?
So, I have a link report from Link Detox. And I'm going through all of them and considering what sites need to be removed. and trying to find emails and contact webmasters. There is just one odd thing i'm starting to see more of. A lot of links are on websites or webpages that no longer exist. The link no longer exists. Some of the domains are even available for purchase. Why are these links showing on the backlink report and are they really harming my website? Also, do I need to add these links into the disavow document that I will submit to Google?

Multiple Links from High Ranking Site Vs. Links from Multiple Domains - What's More Important?
I understand it is important to get links from many quality domains. Currently, I do have links from top domains (PR, Trust) and it I can get more from (high rank) pages on these same domains. Would it be better to focus on expanding my reach (find additional domains to link from) or to continue to build links from the current domains I have a connection with? What is weighted more? I realize doing both is important, but trying to figure out how to best use my time. Thanks! David

JavaScript is crawled by search engines, isn’t it? Does it mean that links embedded in JavaScript pass link juice?
I wonder If links embedded in JavaScript from an external Website pass link juice to the linked page and thus have a positive effect on google rankings. I read that JavaScipt is craweld. Does it mean that also the link juice is passed? I'm looking forward to your answers.
