Links from Directory's
-
I have been looking at the Directory's recommended on the SEOMOZ site. All of those that I have looked into do not appear to have a page rank for the actual page that my link would be appearing on. They all appear to offer N/A as the reply.Is this a problem?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Most directories are not worth your time or money for link building purposes. Some of them are still good for Local Search. Most of the time you're better off using a Local Search product like ExpressUpdate, Localeze, UBL, or Axiom for these, since it's not worth your time to go and manually submit to 300+ directories.

Yep I agree with Irving, especially with all the deindexing Google has been doing recently, I check everything is in Google's index before parting with the cash!
A quick way to check the last time the page has been indexed is to type 'cache:http://www.url.com' into Google. The more recently it's been indexed, the better.
Hope that helps

Are the pages indexed in Google? If you don't see any PR it's probably not worth buying.

What is the number of links do you require your link builder to attain each week or month? What is a reasonable goal?
Hello Mozzers... I would like to get a survey or feedback from other Mozzers who owns an SEO company or manages / hire link builders. **What is the average number of links does your link builder need to attain per week or month? what is their goal? ** I understand quality over quantity but I want to make sure there is a reasonable average to provide them goals and something to achieve on. Of course reward them more if they exceed or get .edu links. What do you institute? What do you think is fair and achievable per website? PS. There is no right or wrong answers here. I am looking for a measurable answer not subjectable. Again just gathering MEASURABLE GOALS.

I've just started my backlinking research on dentists. What are these links?
When you go to the URL and the link isn't there, what does it mean? Looks like the link may have been around since 2011. Any clues? What is an old comment on the story or something? From openexplorer URL: http://espn.go.com/espn/espys/?ov=bestplay Title: 2011 ESPYS - July 2011 ESPNHD Anchor Text: http://www.l a d e n t i s t.c o m (I don't want a link to them so I spaced it) Page Authority: 51 Domain Authority 100 Number of Links: 7 Followable = YES Origin = External Target URL: http://www.l a d e n t i s t .com/

Link Directories - Good or bad?
I've just done a search on open site explorer for a competitors site that has is ranked number one. Most of their highest authority backlinks are from link directories. I just read an article on here saying to stay away from directories that state things like 'seo friendly directory'. Many of my competitors links are from these kind of sites! Will it harm me to get links from such sites? It seems to be working for my competitors.... confused.com!

How do paid directories like thomasnet.com do so well in the serps? Aren't the Panda updates supposed to be moving us away from this?
With all of the updates/changes to Google's algo, I assumed that paid listings & links like those on thomasnet.com would have less merit. Is this an incorrect assumption?

So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
So I ran http://www.riogrande.com/ into this site not that long ago and wanted to see if any other SEO's have an opinion on it. I've seen a Google bomb before, but the amount of links going into this URL is insane. The thing is how does one over come a Google Bomb? Do you just wait to see what Google does or do you just hope to rank under that URL? I should also note that it appears that all the keywords to it are relevant to the sites content. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

I'm interested in knowing link building strategies for regional businesses.
I'm not just interested in sites to target, but also how to manage anchor text when you are targeting phrases that include a keyword + a geo modifier. Thanks!
