Keri i got u... I have to build my 60% to 75% to related my Miche and rest of the link from Very good Page and domain Authority.Only Build a link from higher page and domain authority.
Thanks much keri
-
A different way to look at this: If you sat down with one of the engineers on Google's spam team, and you both looked at this page together, would you feel comfortable saying "yes, that's my link"?
-
Thanks irving , only domain authority could not worthy??
so for best link juice we need to chk both page and domain authority right??/
Thanks

In this case, I think the toolbar PR6 might be for the hompage of the domain. The URL listed has a PA of 1. It's not a strong individual page itself.
-
If the link is on a clean page that is not spammed and has no chance of being spammed in the future, and also has a low amount of links on the page (both internal and external) than a PR6 link is a great link to get relevant or not. It is still passing the same PR. But don't confuse the homepage being PR6 with the page you are getting a link from as being a PR6 link. The PR has to be on the page, not the domain.

On any of the forums I admin, I'd remove that link in a heartbeat.
Before spending more time trying to add links, I'd suggest browsing the Q&A forum here and look at the number of people that are trying to remove low-quality links. The easiest link to remove is the one that you never built. I'd be cautious of finding places where it's too easy to just drop your link. Those are the ones that are unmonitored and going to be the hardest one to remove if you ever get hit for a bad backlink profile. I don't know how your profile does look, but the focus of these posts on building links exclusively, and for ranking rather than any type of converting traffic, is a little worrying.
-
No, stay as on topic as possible - just focus on getting higher quality links. If I understand you correctly, you already have 3k links and still want to improve you ranking. This tells me that you probably have a lot of low-med quality links and you should now focus your attention on getting high authority links.
News sites, authority health blogs, I would participate in health related forums instead of a random edu one, write an educational resource that cites other authoritative websites, contact webmasters in related niches and get backlinks from them, etc. Focus on quality over quantity.
Edit: Yeah, what Keri said. You need great content to get those high authority links you need to get your rankings to the next level. Especially in the uber competitive acne niche.
-
keri we have 500-600 word Original content which review that specific acne product very precisely. ..and we just put the img of 200x200 and give the affiliate link..and one banner at right sidrbar..Thats all we have on that page..
-
What does your content look like? Do you have information out there about Acne that other sites don't have? Do you have a reason for someone to go to your site as opposed to another site?
Here's a great YouMoz we posted (and promoted to the main blog) last week that talks about attracting links rather than building links. Instead of looking for places you can drop a link to your site, have you tried building the content on your site so people will want to link to you?
-
Oleg i really like your answer ..my niche is Acne and i find almost 2k- 3k link but some r not indexed ..after 3k what will i do to increase the authority??so if i go and build the link in different niche that would be ok?
-
According to u , for backlink we have to see first page authority and after the domain authority right??
Domain authority could not help to give some authority to our site?
-
If it's not related, it's not useful. The domain authority is for the site as a whole, not for that teeny tiny section. I have an edu link from Stanford. It's at ldt.stanford.edu/~myusername. The URL has been there since 2001, yet that page still has a page authority of 1 and no metrics, despite the domain authority of Stanford being huge.That subdomain has been having intermittent problems and is not always online, but my ranking does not change with whether that link is online or not.
I wouldn't go for the link. It's just not natural.
-
Shouldn't hurt, just wont be as effective as a link from a relevant topic.
Just throw your link into your signature and participate in the community. Just posting a thread with the url will probably get you banned from the forum.
-
Oleg if i tool the backlink from Pr8 forum with no spam but not a relevance so is it good or not??
My main concern is that forum have 6+pr but its not a my niche relevance so its good to take the backlink??
Thanks
-
Thanks keri for Prompt answer , But the domain Authority is 83 ..page has no authority so still its useful or not?
Chk this url
http://scci.csumain.csu.edu.au/com130/
Thanks

Lets put it this way, if you post an unrelated link into a forum and it isn't removed, that is not a link you want.
Un-moderated forums are filled with spam, high pagerank ones even more so. You risk that link hurting your website's rankings.
-
I've seen plenty of spammy EDU pages with 5000 spam comments and link drops. That's going to have no value for Google, and I wouldn't want my link on a page like that. I doubt the page itself has a toolbar pagerank of 6.
If you really want to investigate, look at the page itself in Open Site Explorer and look at our metrics for an idea if the page on which you want the link is trusted. Based on what you said, I wouldn't go for it or I'd get it removed. Can you share the URL here?

Location Links in Footer
Our business is in 10 cities. We offer identical services in each city, there's absolutely nothing different about the services we offer based on location. We have a contact page for each city with a bit of unique content (phone, address, photo of city, list of counties we service). It really would be a grey area to create subsites for each city and try to rewrite the service description content 10 times. However, we want to improve organic results. We of course have Google Places listings for each city. From an on-page SEO perspective, wouldn't it only have the possibility of benefiting, not hurting local SEO but add the city name linked to that city's contact page in the footer? I've seen arguments against it, and could see maybe if you were in like 50 cities instead of 10, but is there really any observed downside to doing that in the footer for every page? We can't title the difference service pages with the city name in the headings or page title, so at least we'd have anchor text in the footer.

Value of no-follow links
I'm curious to understand roughly how much % of value a no-follow link has in building authority relative to a do-follow link? I understand that Google seems consistently and growingly focused on value - ie. is the link valuable in growing the business, irregardless of SEO - and perhaps therefore the no-follow / do-follow distinction is becoming a more unnecessary dichotomy. How does Google look at do-follow vs no-follow links? And how much weight now is really given to one compared to the other?

Highly Related, But Not Ranking
Hi Everyone! I'm doing a bit of research on a domain and I've come across something really odd. Doing a search for "asset based lending software" (not with the quotes), www.case.net doesn't show up anywhere in the first 100 results. However, at the bottom of the results in the "Searches related to asset based lending software" section, it lists "computer software enterprises inc" as the 2nd item (the company associated with www.case.net). Any ideas here? NdsoeNn.png

Disavowing Links for Subcategory of Site
Has anyone tried using Google's Disavow tool with only a specific subcategory of their site? We're an ecommerce company and our site took a small hit with this recent Penguin update. We're certain previous linkbuilding efforts are the cause. But we'd like to try the Disavow tool with 1 subcategory to start, see if our rankings for that category improve (we used to be top 3, now ~12 or 13), and if so then roll it out through the rest of the site. Looking for input from others on if they have any experience with this or if it'd be better to just go for the whole thing at once. Thanks.

Link Anchor Text
As I keep studing SEO I reach to the conclusion that the Anchor Text from other site is crucial to get more positive results for our website and for the link-building strategy. My question is - Is it better to have an Anchor Text to my main link our should I ask for a determine targeted keyword? Tks in advance! Pedro M Pereira

The missing link?
Hello and Welcome Moz friends! Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem. On my website I've optimized our content to match the keywords I have selected for the site. I constantly am Re-writing articles, reading SEOMoz on tips and tricks how to make link juice flow. Yet only one of my keywords ranks decently, the rest never show up. I have the hardest time getting traffic to my site, and sales after that. Maybe I am implementing something incorrectly or there is something I am not doing. www.FrontlineMobility.com If you have any tips or anything to give me I would gladly accept it, any criticism is also appreciated. Thank you Friends, hopefully you can help me.

Sitewide blog link and Article links
Hi Guys I just wanted to give you all a heads up on something I adjusted recently that worked really well and wanted to ask for your own experiences on this. 1. We have a blog that adds regular content and within the blog we link from the keyword we are targeting. Standard stuff right ! We were struggling for movement on a keyword so I removed the links from the articles and added a link on the site wide blogroll. The link on the blogroll included the keyword but was a longer descriptive link. Low and behold we got a first page listing when the changed it.The change in ranking was made a few days later. I have always been given the impression that site wide isn't that great ? So explain this one . Of course there are many other factors etc 🙂 What are your experiences and thoughts on what happened here ?

Correcting an unnatural link profile
A site I work with ranked page 1 for a competitive keyphrase until recently. (Not Panda-related as far as we can tell.) We've done extensive on-site tweaking and the page is still parked at 27-32 in the SERPs. We believe the only viable explanation at this point is an unnatural link profile. Over the course of several years the site has racked up a large collection of footer links with anchor text due to business relationships with the sites in question. So the profile is now skewed, with the result as follows: 100,000 domain links (top 10 competitors range 1800-50k) 87% anchor text optimized (competitors 0-41%) 99% follow links (competitors 85-100%) The vast majority of links are footer links We're working on creating more natural, high-value links but this of course takes time. In the short term, two questions: Should we aim to remove or change some of the footer links? If so, do we remove them, or just change anchor text? How many? How many new links should we pursue each month to make a meaningful impact on the profile without being too aggressive? Any other thoughts on how to fix this are also appreciated. Thanks!
