-

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?

Redirect inbound links to youtube?
I have a website that's been going for 10 years or so, doesn't get huge traffic but it's fairly consistent. About 5 years ago I put the same content on youtube- instructional how to videos. The website offers slightly better content because there are images to accompany the step by step text below the videos. The text is more or less the same on youtube and my website. Recently, youtube has started to vastly out-perform my website. For every page/video on my website, there is a youtube page. They're basically competing against each other. Over the years I have accrued a fair number of links to my website. My question is, should I redirect my inbound links to the relevant youtube pages and sacrifice my website? Thanks! Will

Is it safe to link my websites together?
Hi Everyone, I have 10 websites which are all of good standing and related. My visitors would benefit of knowing about the other websites but I don't want to trigger a google penalty by linking them all together. Ideally I'd also like to pass on importance through the links as well. How would you proceed in this situation? Advice would be greatly appreciated, Peter.

Link Juice - Lots of Pages
I have a site, PricesPrices.com where I'm steadily building inbound links and pagerank. I have about 4600 pages on the site, most of which are baby products in the baby gear sector. There are many outdated items that aren't really my focus, but do pop up in long-tail search queries from time to time. My question is a pretty basic one. Theoretically if a site has say 28/100 link juice, then as you go deeper and deeper into the site, the link juice is divided more and more. My question: Is this really true or just a concept? My thoughts are to hide many of the products that i don't really need to focus on therefor passing more link juice to the products that remain, but I also don't want to that if it won't necessarily make the remaining pages rank higher or have more link juice. I also have to keep in mind the merchandising aspect of the site and providing a good user experience. If i only have 300 products on the site, there will be a ton of unhappy people who can't find the products they are looking for. Any thoughts and/or pointers in the direction of funneling that pagerank down into my site would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Switching to masked affiliate links
Hi there, I run a content affiliate website where I introduce products in articles and then link to merchants where the user can buy the respective product. Currently I am using regular affiliate links here with the "nofollow" attribute. With growing size of the site, I would like to switch to masked affiliate links, so instead of a link like "jdoqocy.com/click-123" I want to use "mydomain.com/recommend/123". My question here is: When switching to masked affiliate links, does it makes sense to also convert all the older unmasked affiliate links? If yes, what would be the best way to do that - Convert all old links at once or convert them over time (e.g. over a few month)? Currently about 2/3 of my site's outbound links are unmasked, external affiliate links. So I am afraid that changing this relatively large share of links from unmasked external affiliate links to masked links doenst look natural at all... Thank you for your advice!
