Quick Question - Backlink From Penguin
-
should we get backlink from penguin hit website ?

WOW $1000 a link from a PR3 site is quite expensive, you can buy a few blog sites with PR3 for that amount or a PR4/5 domain name. The best links that you can get are the natural links by writing great, useful and interesting content. It will take longer of course to get the natural links vs the paid links but in my opinion they are far more valuable. Also with that $1000 I would invest into infographics, if you have someone create an interesting inforgraphic with useful data/information related to your business it could spread like wildfire and get you a good amount of natural links...

Thanks Igor I like your honesty...and thanks for taking time to do the research for me...I respect you.. and I will look more into the website in majestic SEO....I dont know why they were asking 1000$ to give us a backlink...duh!! cheers man u rock

To be honest with you, I'm not sure if you can check if a site has been hit or not by the penguin, maybe someone here with more experience can answer that question.
I did a little investigation on the http://www.interiorarcade.com/
Here is what I found, the domain age is 3 years old.
Google PR score is 3 (on the home page)
almost 14000 links from 140 root domains...
Digging deeper into OSE I saw that they quite a few links from a bunch of directories and link farms.
and VERY FEW links from related sites.
So I think there is a very good chance that they were hit by the PENGUIN. take a look at Majestic SEO they keep a history. I've never used it so I can say if PR is being tracked or not but if it is you can see if their PR dropped when penguin was released.

Probably not. From what I know if a site has been hit by the mean penguin it lost most if not all of it rankings, it might be in Google's little black book so in theory it might pass the negative rankings to your site. You should only get links from trusted sites that don't do any black SEO to get high rankings. Links are like people, well more like characteristics of people. Would you become friends with someone who is shady, will lie to you, might steal from you, etc... would you let them into your house??? I assume you would want to be friends with someone who respects you, will help you out when you need help, someone you can trust, etc... and would be welcomed in your house anytime. That's the way I think about links and whether I would want to have that link on my site.

Backlinks from translated content
Hello, We have quite a few articles "out there" that give us backlinks. We were thinking of also translating the content and submitting it to local content websites, so it can provide us with more backlinks. The main questions here, will this content be recognized as the same content as the English version? Also, being in another language, some of the anchor text might not hit the English keyword. Not sure how Google sees it. Any advise on the matter? thx!!

Site scraped/Backlink problem?
Hi - I was looking in my Google webmaster tools because we saw a huge jump in backlinks last week. We found this one article with 84,475 total links, which obviously stands out as spam. All the links are from 1 page and 1 domain (financeai.com). This is the article on our website - http://loyalty360.org/resources/article/engaging-customer-atmosphere-at-pizza-patron and webmaster tools says all the links back to it come from this page http://financeai.com/forex/mxn/pkr/q/39665 My question is - should we/what can we do to clean this up? How does this impact our search ranking? We have had some issues with our website getting extremely slow overnight, and we believe the site scraping is really slowing down the site at points. Thanks.

Adding Quality Backlinks
Without sounding like an idiot, what are the best ways in adding good quality back links. There are websites out there such as Click Submit but from experience they just link from weird URL's and the links are in comments. In an ideal world starting up my own Blogs and building up a good domain authority would work best but the customer would like some back links adding by next week. Using local directories wouldn't really work for their business so if anyone has any idea's I would love to hear them.

Backlink?
This is probably going to sound like the silliest question ever, but I have to ask. Does an article that requires a subscription to read count as a backlink? Is there any difference in that type of backlink as opposed to one that doesn't require a subscription? Thanks.

Backlinks outside my country
Hi there! If the product, service or resouce I offer is located in my country: Is it worth to include directories located in p.e EEUU in order to increase my Pagerank although this is not my potencial client (due to the "distance" obviouly).? If my potencial clients were people fromo other countries that could come to mine to enjoy this service? Should I include my links in directories of these countries and obtain links from websites of these countries? many thanks

Guest Blogging Questions
Hi a few questions, 1. Is a anchor link in the body better then in the byline? 2. If 2 links are in the body will Google only count the first link? 3. Do you need a unique byline for each guest post, will having duplicate bylines not work as well as unique? Cheers
