On-Page Grader: F, Backlink still work?
-
For some reason, i can't optimize the page, and on-page Grader is F, whether the backlink with anchor text still work?
Any thing i can do in such situation?

I will again recommend not to use exact match anchor text but try multiple anchor texts around your targeted keyword plus i would highly recommend using the idea of co-occurrence

You got my point and answered my question, even though my question is confused.
That mean even though the keywords "SEO Back link" not including in page content/title, url, h1.., and can not get a high grader in on-page grader, we still can get our page listed in the "SEO Back Link" search result though get enough back link under the anchor text "SEO Back Link".

I think i got your question... this is for some reason you cannot add your targeted key phrase within your content so when grabbing links you are planning to get exact match anchor text and you want to know if this still works!
If this is the question then I guess it’s not really a problem that you are not adding keywords within the content but when grabbing links make it natural instead of adding exact match anchor text... try to get some links with anchor texts that are not exact but move around the same!
How this helps!

I don't understand the question either "whether the backlink with anchor text still work?". How do you mean that? The grader is only for on page SEO. I don't think the Grader accounts for anchor text because the anchor text link would be pointing to another page (page B). The Grader only grades the current page (page A), not a different page (page B).

I am not sure I understand the problem or the question. Assuming others will be as foggy as I am the best advice I can give is to expand your question with more details as to your situation and question.
If the on page grader is an F for a keyword then it is reasonable to assume the link will not be very valuable for the keyword. A better test would be to see where the page is currently ranked in the SERP for that keyword. The onpage grader is a great tool but I do not believe it has adjustments made for over optimization penalties that are now in Google algorithms.
But the current value of a page to a keyword is always clear by simply finding it in the SE you are optimizing for.

I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.
Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: Homeworkpaper.net Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer.

I have well over 110 identical backlinks of widely varying quality - is it worth taking the page they're linking to down?
The site on which I'm working has been experiencing a month-to-month decline since the Panda and Penguin updates - I didn't get an unnatural links notification, but have clearly fallen off the face of Google with many of the more important rankings. After running a scan on my backlinks, I found over 110 identical backlinks (it looks like the same medical definition and my website is listed in the endnotes as a source - just the URL, not anchor text), some from reputable websites with high pageranks and others that look very 'spammy.' We've redesigned the architecture of the site, so the actual link itself has a 301 redirect on it, but I'm just wondering exactly how much of a liability is it to have these links out there? I'm guessing it's an all or nothing kind of thing given the identical content on each page - on one hand, I'm pretty frantic to get to the root of the Google penalties and get back in their good graces. On the other hand, I don't want to kill the site completely by going after a set of valuable links. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Domain and page backlinks
Hello Everyone, I am new at SEO, and I am a bit confused with the following situation: I have domain, wordpress site on it, and I am building backlinks to it (testing). I do not have "home" page among pages in wordpress, if it means anything. When I build links, i use different anchor texts, but they all point to http://somethingsomething.net -Ahrefs shows that I have 830 backlinks from 45 domains, to my URL, which is http://somethingsomething.net (it is also my site's home page address) -MOZ;s Open site explorer, on the other hand, shows the following: 8 internal links and 0 external links for page specific metrics, and 878 total links 0 external for root domain metrics. -Google Webmaster tools shows 10 external links pointing to my site Please can someone explain to me what is happening here? Thanks a lot

Landing pages rank higher thank home page
Ive been tasked to work on several sites from a client that had some shady past seo work done for them. Weak content, tons of useless links all pointing to home page, etc. Ive gone through site and given a total re-write and worked on removing and dissavowing links. Majority of the sites home page ranked high on first page google. Now the sites are closer to 100 rank than first page, and the odd thing is that home page cant be found but pages like terms and conditions or disclaimer are ranking. These pages have hardly no content compared to home pages, and while they are still ranked 80 to 100 positions back they are ranking while the home page cant be found. We have tried changing anchor text to "click here", and "for more info" instead of keyword and nothing much changed yet. Competition still has pretty much keyword anchor text and worthless links and they still rank well. Am I wasting time with rewrites and link dissavows or should I continue and eventually get the sites home page to come back on the radar? We have added social media presence and a blog that we post to regularly and for 6 months of work have hardly seen a dent for improved rankings. Am I on the right page or spinning my wheels? Any advise is appreciated.

Posts and Page linking
Can I link from the post to page? I read on semoz that in order to avoid crazy linking I should not link from a post everywhere. Is it ok to link from some post which is in a category to a page?
