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.

# of links and how it impacts ranking
Hi everyone I was running a competitor analysis in Moz Pro of my site and 3 competitors that are ranked above me. One of the things I noticed is that my # of total links is very high compared to 2 of my competitors(please see attachment). Other seo tools are telling me the same. This is mainly due to a few affiliate sites that have us in their footer. I was wondering if this could impact our ranking if some of these sites have very low domain authority and have thousands of backlinks to our site? I am looking into starting the disavowing process.

Should I use an informative outbound link when trying to market a service?
Having outbound links seems like a marketing no-no as you don’t want people clicking away from your website. However, if the link provides great information (at the end of your content) that explains and markets a service that you’re offering, is it okay to have that outbound link?

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?

External Links Massive Drop
In Google Webmaster Tools I have well over 1000 links. Now I appreciate that this will vary a lot compared to Open Site Explorer but that's showing just 45. Previously, before the last OSE update on the 28th I had 182 links so this is a big drop. My competitors use similar software (vbulletin forum) and have all increased in links and my actual links haven't dropped at all according to Google Wemaster Tools.) My MozRank has dropped a lot, as has the authority and trust. I know this is only a guide but it's very frustrating. My PageRank has also dissapeared (although was only 1 a month or two ago) so really not sure what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas. I haven't done anything that would penalise me in Google, just some tweaking of certain pages to try and help relevance and rankings. Cheers.

Internal linking structure
Hello, Is there a way to see the most anchor text of a sites internal linking structure, that is not mine. For example how many times a competitor used the anchor text "door" on their site. Not external links though, just the internal ones. Thank you, Ada

Discrepancy in Competitive Link Analysis?
I currently have a campaign set-up that monitors a few competitors compared to our site. When I look at the Root Domain Metrics I see that Company A has 2,053 total external links, and Company B has 1,632 total external links. I wanted to view these links in more detail so I ran Advanced Inbound Links reports. The reports returned 432 results for Company A and 693 results for Company B. Shouldn't these numbers match up with each other, or am I missing something? Also, I noticed that in the Inbound Links analysis for my competitors there are a number of results listed that are not actually inbound links, but are internal links from there own site. Is there a reason these are appearing? I am having problems because I am trying to use this campaign to show the improvements in our site vs our competitors. However, OSE shows dramatically fewer total external links for our site (about 260 vs 3200 in Webmaster Tools) and I cannot tell if the competitor data is accurate? Thanks

How does a site get to no 3 in Google with no KW in their links?!!
Hello everyone, my first post - ahhh I'm investigating a niche and there is a site that should have no right being there in my view. It's no. 3 Google UK for 'company formation' with a small site with 65 weak links from only 7 domains and hosted in the US. But more importantly, the Open Site Explorer says there is not 1 link with that term in its anchor text. This I find crazy and makes me suspicious. But before I go back to my client saying "oh they must be black hat" I would like your expert views. I'm not sure whether to tut or congratulate them and for the first time I'm not sure what reasons to give for their amazing performance! What's your views?
