Should I pursue this LINK?
-
I can get a link from this site, but it has a DA=39, Dmr=3.37, Dmt=3.39 and a Page Rank=0
-
get the link, why wouldn't you? Unless you it overly difficult to get and there are other (better opportunities)
-
DA=39, Dmr=3.37, Dmt=3.39 and a Page Rank=0? PR ZERO? Did it get Google slapped? Rand talks about that in one of his white board fridays. Two things can be happening here. Either that site is thriving and Google hasn't updated it PR in about 3 to 4 months OR it used to have PR, but got demoted by Google.

I'd have to second #3. It's difficult to answer without knowing how much the link will cost you (time, $$, etc)
-
Consider the following:
- How well is the linking site aligned with the content you are looking to link to? In an ideal situation the linking site would be in th same 'neighbordhood' as the content on the linked-to site. (a carpeting site wants links from sites that have to do with flooring, for example).
- Have you taken the time to review the link profile of the linking site. I would take the time to review the linking sites link profile to see if any of its linking sites look questionable.
- How much time/effort/resources/$ are you going to have to give up to secure this link? It sounds like you have it in the bag, but there is always some effort behind closing such deals.
In the end, if you can get this link (especially with anchor text you get to specify) and it meets criteria #1 and #2 and won't consume a lot of time, I say get it.

I would not worry about the page rank as long as the page has incoming links from other high authoirty sites. Run the opensitexplorer reports on the page and look at the quality and quanity of the incoming links.
Run opensiteexplorer on the entire domain and look at the top pages report to see if the page in question is one of the top 10 pages on the website.
You may also want to make sure the domain itself has good spam free incoming links or atleast the percentage of profile / spam link to highly quality natural link is low.

Rankings & Linking Root Domains
How are the Linking Root Domains under Keyword Rankings being found? We've noticed for many of our key terms that big brands like Amazon, eBay, Home Depot, etc. only list 1 linking root domain, while much smaller competitors in our industry have hundreds. Clearly big brands are going to get more links than a company most people haven't heard of and the idea that these companies only have 1 linking root domain to a specific subcategory on their site is not believable. What's going on here?

How Do You Currently Analyze Outbound Link Profiles?
So I'm looking at some potential guest blogging &/or article writing opportunities and I'm looking for a tool which will analyze the OUTBOUND links from the site....it would be handy if inbound were displayed too but not essential as there are many tools available for this. When I ask for sample sites it is clear that a number of them (all?!) have been created purely for us content purposes, however it would be good to analyze the site further. A tool that could analyze its outbound links would give me a rough idea if the site is suitable or simply a glorified link-farm. Also, if you have any useful links regarding industry averages on outbound links for blogs & article sites (eg Ezine) for benchmarking it would be good! Thanks

Question regarding back link analysis and anchor text
Hello, I am looking at my competitors back link analysis and comparing a range of link based metrics from the top 10 SERPS. I am then putting this data into excel and comparing our back link profiles. When looking at the anchor text distribution i am not sure whether to look at exact match anchor or phrase match anchor. For example, one of the companies I am looking at holds positions 3 and 4 in the SERPS. Looking at their linking profile I can see that only 1.7% of their links use the exact match anchor 'widget'. Looking at their phrase match anchor is an entirely different story, 93.5% of anchor links contain 'widget' somewhere. i.e. 'cheap widgets', 'widget sale', 'buy widgets at www.examplewidget.co.uk' etc. Obviously their exact match and phrase match anchor distribution tell a completely different story. THIS IS TRUE FOR MANY OF THE TOP 10 SERPS. Therefore, should I be looking at phrase match anchors instead of exact? Side note: would people recommend targeting anchors with 'brandname widget' based on predictions of Google giving weighted anchor more weight. Robert.

Viewing Specific Links in OSE - For a Specific Month
(1) Can I use OSE to see the number of links per month a site acauired over the past year (month by month)? For example, I might be interested if I see a competitor acquired a surprisingly high number of links during December, 2010. (2) Can I use OSE to see the a list of links a site acquired during a specific time, such as December of 2010? For example, if I see a competitor suddenly acquired an unusually high number of links in December, 2010, I'd like to see a list of those links, to figure out how they acquired those links. Thanks!
