Trying to use the SEOmoz link building tools but...
-
all of the directories that are listed seem to be based in the US for US companies - am I missing something?
By the way my target audience is solely based in the UK,
Thanks,
Jason

Jason, actually I prefer softball questions
Value depends on what you need and want. With Yahoo directory if you look at $299 and then look at what can be obtained at that cost for other directories or submissions it might not be. But, if you have a single site that you want to promote, are in need of quality level of Yahoo, etc. it might be a good spend.
In the U.S., for clients who have multiple sites in services or professions as opposed to an eCommerce site, it is not as good a value for sure. Can you find a couple of high quality submission sites, spend that same amount and possibly get two to three times the value? I think it is possible.Really hope that helps.

One thing to do is to request a feature along this line as SEOmoz does monitor the Q&A and the staff is responsive. Here is link to features request
There are also a lot of European members on moz, so hopefully a few more will pick up on this as well and provide direction.
I am also throwing in a link to a thread on submission sites, etc. I have used a couple and as yet have no opinion but some are Indian based and obviously do business with European clients. You should also look at this thread as there are some gems: Dmoz submission, Yahoo directory, etc.

And you´re a lucky guy. I work just for Spanish companies. Tools work fine to compare my competition and take a look into their linkbuilding. I use Link aquisition assistant just have to translate terms to spanish. In your case maybe you can replace them with typical UK words.
The directory list is still usefull for me because some of them are worth getting a link from even if they are not european oriented.
But it seems like a very good and useful tip for Seomoz to pay some more attention to Europe.

Link Building
Hi Mozzers, I work for an IT company specialising in outsourcing Cisco Engineers worldwide. Due to being involved heavily in outsourcing, I'm finding it impossible to generate genuine and organic links to our website. My question is that is it essential to have back links back to our website to achieve high search engine rankings? I'm unable to get clients and other partners to provide links as we're the outsourced company,but I can get backlinks from unrelated c ompanies. For example we're running a CSR initiative with a National Gym relating to health & fitness, also links from our web designers etc... Do these links have any type of value? Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Jason 🙂

Unnatural Linking Using Webdsite Themes
I am working on a website that last year received an email from Google via webmaster tools talking about the linking profile. The email suggested that the website had unnatural activity (links) and that the webmaster needed to investigate before filing for a reconsideration. After having looked at the link profile using OSE, it was easy to see the problem. Thousands of inbound links with the exact anchor text. Here is the BIG problem. The tactics used by the unamed SEO agency prior to me were to embed links in to the footer of web themes? At this stage it is unclear as to where you can downlaod or purchase the web themes but it's obvious that the problem is simply going to escalate. The domain in question is www.teamtactics.co.uk Any thoughts on the above would be much appreciated - at this point I am trying to find the place were the themes are available for download. Any ideas much appreciated. shivun

Hello It's worth getting links nofollow? It will count for google? For example links from Yahoo! Answers.

How useful/ damaging is it to have links repeated on every page ?
Our site is dynamic in nature we have tens of thousands of indexed pages with numerous individual brands pages - all of the brand pages are equally important. We are trying to distribute link juice to those pages as much as possible - so my question is --- Is it smart and or useful or perhaps damaging or spammy to have a space on the bottom of each page throughout our site with links to each and every single brand page ? is this practice considered as duplicate content etc ?

Directories and Link Building
I was reading a post by Eric Enge, http://www.seomoz.org/blog/role-of-directories-in-link-building and nobody talked about in the comments, so I want to see what you think: Considering that get some bad links from punished directories is bad for your site, it's worth to use site submissions softwares, like SubmitEaze, that promisses a 1,000 submits?
