Hi Wayne
Thanks for the response - to be honest there about 15 websites all in different industries and sectors..
We want to find a reliable company (possibly India as we have heard they are cheap to outsource too) this is because mainly of the time it takes to outsource all of the link building...
If you do know of any companies please can you let me know ?
Thanks
Gareth

Glad to help....
With regard to rel="nofollow", you'll likely find people divided on this issue.
I personally believe it is worth gathering these links if they are offered to you, as I believe they do hold value. In other words, Google may not count the nofollow link as a weighted backlink, but your anchor text and the domain and page authority of the site you acquired the link from is not being ignored by Google. (And rel="nofollow" will certainly never hurt you if all the other standards are acceptable and in line with good practices.)
That said, I'd certainly target the sites that pass value before I concentrated all my efforts on a link from a site that uses rel="nofollow".

Hi Wayne,
This is all great stuff! It is very hard work, I am glad you mentioned that, and it is easy to get down about it, it seems to take forever I bet..
Thanks again Wayne these are all great learning points for me..
Just one last question, I promise - rel="nofollow" tag does that mean it is not worth building links with?
Thanks

No problem, Gareth.
Yes, Domain Authority is certainly an important element when targeting links, but you also want to keep in mind:
-
Make sure there is a defined relationship between the person you are requesting from and your business vertical. In other words, if you sell Accounting Services, don't go after links from a gambling site. It just looks fishy.
-
Look at the Page Authority. You want to make sure your link is coming from a page within the domain that also has appeal.
-
Check to see if the page has a rel="nofollow" tag associated with it.
-
Ensure that your target source is not plagued with a lot of links from questionable sources. (remember, just becuase you see a domain with high authority, something questionable could still be occurring to which the engines haven't caught up yet. rankings are not necessarily reflective of day-today activity.
Ultimately, there are always exceptions of which you want to be aware, but if you stay on the straight and narrow, develop a good acqusition strategy, and target reliable sources, you should do just fine.
It's a lot of hard work, so don't get too discouraged if you find yourself not getting responses from a high ranking site

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for answering my question. With the http://www.opensiteexplorer.org is it best to target websites with high Domain Authority? For example if a website that has a domain authority of 100 then they would be really good to use?
What do you think?
Thanks

Gareth,
You've asked a fairly general question, but I think the best place to start would be familiarizing yourself with a reliable tool such as Open Site Explorer. This tool is going to allow you to research a websites backlinks, explore reputation in terms of "trust," aas well as the types of neighborhoods the site is assoicated with. It also gives you additional linking targets based on who is linking to your competitors.
REMEMBER: finding trusted sites is not the challenging piece. You need to develop a sound strategy for obtaining these links in an honest, respectful, time efficient manner. I think you'll find that to be your struggle, as we all do
More specifically, can you tell us what type of industry with which you are associated? There are a lot of variables that you'll want to define before you just begin pursuing a link from a website.
In short, start with OSE, it's going to give you a lot of trusted information on potential link sources.
Best of luck!
Wayne

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -
Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

Best Methods - Link Building
We are having more and more "new" customers coming to us who have been hit by various algorithms imposed by google. After we have run a site health check and corrected everything, we plan and come up with a link development plan which suits the clients needs. Much of out link development work is safe comprising of; 1. Guest Blog Posts - where we develop creative content with the customer to publish. 2. Industry blog posts - where bloggers write about i.e. "the company" 3. Social media - posting pictures, commenting on forums, etc 4. Paid directories with authority We don't develop links in any other way and it brings results in the long term. Is anyone out there doing something else? Link building can sometimes be like walking on a tight rope. Thanks and happy holidays Gary - Elite Group Marketing London

Links on Charity websites?
Do links on link pages or home pages work on unrelated sites, I know if a site is unrelated and the content is related it puts a similarity in the link to helps it's worth but with just a link on a links page (5-10 other links not a directory) does this pass any power or is it a bad idea.

Link Building....confused!
Hi Guys, I'm after some advise please. We have a client who offers self catering accommodation to let on his website. We are looking at ways to increase links to his site and one idea we had was to possibly affiliate ourselves with local companies within the areas of the specific accommodation. Our client is looking to partner with local business's in each area of said accommodation (probably two of each kind) and then send the details of these business' with whatever special deals they will offer customers on every confirmation that goes out to the clients. Obviously, in return, these business' will then link to Room-B. What I'm trying to find out is if linking to partners via an email delivered from thewebsite is safe in terms of link juice: it's important that Google doesn't index any outbound links to partners from us at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
