What holds more SEOweight, posts or blogrolls?
-
Was just wondering what hold more SEO weight: a post or blogroll? Additionally, are static html pages better to have links from or blogs?
Thanks,

Thanks.

_Links from Blogroll and blog posts, unless they look like they are being acquired naturally, have some risks associated with it. Blog roll links seem to carry more risk than links coming from blog posts links. It is better if you go for blog post links and use as many variations of keywords as possible. _

Depends on the content of either. Blogrolls are normally just syndicated content and I would attribute less value to those. Having said that, some blog posts are just as bad and don't necessarily contain valuable content.

Since Google's Penguin update earlier this year, it is generally accepted now that links from within blog posts are more valuable than blogroll links.
This is because blogroll links and other sitewide links, such as footer links, have a higher likelihood of being paid for, or otherwise manipulated. In fact, many webmasters hit by Penguin have requested the removal of blogroll links. Links from within blog posts, on the other hand, look more natural.
There is no real distinction between links from "static pages" and links from posts. If a page has been around for a while it is likely that the page will have accrued more Page Authority than a newly-published blog post. On the other hand, a blog post has the advantage of being current, and may itself accrue authority over time.

Getting links on old blog posts
There's 100 of blogs with posts that link to my competitors, but don't link to my site.They are mostly lists. Eg: "The best Sites to get blue widgets" I was thinking about getting in touch with these blogs, and asking them to take a look at my site, to see if perhaps they would add it to the list. In fact, I started doing it and I got some links already. Now I am starting to worry that Google could consider these links as unnatural, because, you know, the algos are not exactly perfect. Anyway, the links are important for the exposure anyway. I've two questions: 1. Is there any chance I'll be penalized? 2. May I get a SEO benefit from this links?

Is it Better to Link to an Article or Post it on my Site?
I have a client who has a few articles written about her and posted on different news-related sites. She has asked me to capture these articles (we have permission) and create a section on her site for them. My question is this... From an SEO standpoint, would it be better to link _to the _articles, post them on her site or both? Or, maybe there's an even better way I'm not thinking of. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kirk

Can you dominate a niche with just guest posts?
Hypothetically, if your competitors in a niche have 100 linking domains from medium authority sites and you were able to publish guest posts on 200 relevant sites with medium authority, what do you think would happen? Would you dominate your competition?

Guest Post Label Devalue Links?
My link builders are doing an excellent job of creating well written articles with my links in the body of the text. However, most of them state it is a guest post at the top or bottom of the post. I also notice that the sites the articles are on frequently accept guest posts. 1. Does having the label "guest post" devalue the links at all? 2. Does the fact that the sites often allow for guest posts devalue the links?

What percentage of an old post can I change without lose rank?
A few months ago I updated some old posts of my site (Wordpress), to improve old content, with new pictures (better quality), better content, new info about product, and links to our review of this product (newer posts). Most part of the content is this old posts were new, so I "deleted" the old text but replaced the new one with another of better quality. I suppose it will help new post to improve rank, but I los thousands of daily visits, because old posts ranks worse since the change. What do you think? What happened here? Maybe I shouldn't update the whole text, only add a link to new content? Thank you!
