How many backlinks should I incluede in guest blog?
-
Hello MOZ
I really need some help here and would love your advice!
I have access to a fantastic PBN through my sister's work colleague who is an experienced marketing director. The PBN is relative to my industry and are all DA 50+
My sister is a copywriter and is putting content together around 500-600 words long. My questions are:
- How many backlinks should she include in each guest blog post? Are 2 too many?
- Should the anchor text keywords be exact to the products I am selling?
- Tips/Advice going forward with the project?
Thank you!

Completely agree with the above two answers. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole if I was you!

I agree with Ed. I would not use this for a valuable site, or any site that is even remotely connected to a valuable site.
We get a continuous stream of messages from people who want to "blog on our site". We delete them because we know that most of these people want to send you a crappy post with links to crappy websites.

You're playing a really dangerous game here. The google algorithm maps the blogs to find correlations between who's posting on them and an unnatural link profile. PBNs are in direct breach of the rules so you may get a great result but you also might get a penalty and be wiped out.
So it's up to you. Sometimes this sort of thing works but you're playing Russian roulette with your revenue stream. How much revenue are you making from google? Is it your only channel? Can you afford to lost the entire channel for - say for example - two months while you try to undo the manual action for webspam?
I've seen the sophistication of the PBN products google uses first hand and it's not something I would want to mess with. but if you are wanting to make a quick buck and aren't worried about the long term viability of Google as a channel then go for it. But be aware that over-optimising anchor text is the sort of thing that will get google looking more closely at your site and then with the fact that the PBN has signals that show it's a PBN and then you'll wish you'd not ever tried to cheat.
This is effectively cheating. It's black hat. So proceed at your own risk. Maybe you need to go over and ask the folks on some other forums where they are more into this type of stuff. They will know how to get the best short term gains from things like PBNs.

Best way to get my Blog traffic
I've recently began blogging on my site. The content is all unique and useful and written properly without keyword stuffing... My question is, how do i go about getting people to see the blog (getting traffic to it) so that it can get linked to. I've created content that i believe people will naturally link to, the only problem is they're not finding my blog. Any advice on how to get my blog out into the world?! thanks

Is the Page Authority/Rank of my corporate site affected by my blog's PA/PR and vice versa?
If I host my blog on my corporate site (it is a wordpress blog) will the page authority and page rank of my site translate to the blog? And does this also go the other way around? My gut says this would make sense, and I think I have seen it in action with other corporate sites that host their wordpress blogs, but I want to be completely sure. Even better, if someone can explain to me how this works, that would be super helpful!

Guest Blogging
Hey Guys, I've been reading about the power of guest blogging and it seems like a fun way to build links. However, finding blogs that allow guest blog posts is a bit tougher than I thought. I read about MyBlogGuest.com and some other guest blog networks. Are these legit and am I on the right track when searching for blogs that will allow a guest post? Thanks!

Sourcing content and images for Office Interior Design Blog
Im currently building a blog on Wordpress, and I will be blogging about Office Interior Designs. When I look at my competition they have some great blog posts about office interior designs and I have no idea about how they get: a) The ideas to blog about, how do they find out about these office interior designs b) how they get the content for them, how do they know what to write about each one, do they need permission etc, c) if i am interested in doing a blog on the same office interior design as them, how can I get information )and permission from the company that done the office interior design) on the office interior design so i can blog about it and also how do i get the images and stuff. an example is http://www.officedesignblog.com/invensys-rail-office-concept/726/ I would like to cover this aswell, as i think my future readers would like to know about this. how did they get the images, and the information about the project so they could write a blog post about it? And how would I go about doing the same thing?
