Would you guest post on this website?

Hi,
What do you think of this website for guest posting - www.forevergeek.com
Now to me I would quite happily give up a guest post to this website, and the reason behind this would be...
DA:63
PA:67
MR:5.6
MT:5.8
And lots of social sharing per post and to me this would be a perfect site to get some exposure on, looks ok as well.
BUT the only thing which would put some doubt in my mind is the PR2, I would assume a site with DA:63 would have a PR4/5.
What are your thoughts on this?
-
It's easy to overcomplicate these things.
- Is it a good site?
- Is it relevant?
- Do they allow anyone to guest post or are the guest posts always quality and relevant?
If it's relevant, quality and visible in search then go for it.
Hope that helps!

I did watch a Matt Cutts vid on this and he said a few interlinking sites is ok, as long as they are relevant.
I didn't really check the sites on the same IP, I do now though.
Thanks Tom.

So I guess the only real indicator of a good site is the engagement from the user - comments/social sharing.
I did notice they offer online marketing as a service so I guess they wouldn't offer that if they didn't know how to build an audience which by the looks of it they do.
Cheers Seb, really helpful.

It's quite easy really. If you get a number of blog comments on EDU / High profile sites then that can affect your DA/PA quite dramatically. E.G - http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=techandscience.com
I'm not sure if Splashpress are a big company but they own a number of new media sites, so they definitely know what they're doing.

I wouldn't even worry about DA, MR etc. If there's an engaged audience that's similar to the audience you want to attract for your target site then I'd go for it.

You're welcome!
Looks like a good site to me. It's important to check the IP and neighbourhood as getting links from a site that's in a "bad" neighbourhood, ie with sites that are spammy or harmful, can sometimes be detrimental. Also, you would be able to check whether the webmaster has any other similar sites. This usually isn't a problem unless they are linking the sites all together (link-wheel), which is against the Google TOS.
There's a really useful tool that was in beta last time I checked that let's you check all this but the name has gone completely out of my head - it let's you check via IP, adsense account, email used to register the domain, affiliate IDs and more. If anyone can remember it, or if I do, I'll let you know!

Thanks Seb,
How would one manipulate DA/PA?
Is Splashpress media a big company? They have maybe 5-6 websites I know of which are all DA:Sweet, I have also noticed their social following on most of the sites are really good, so either they know what they are doing when it comes to online marketing or it's manipulated using something like 'twiends'.
Would all of Splashpress websites be worth getting on then?
Thanks again.
-
Absolutely. Taking a quick look at their backlink profile and the fact that they're part of the Splashpress Media network means that it's a high quality site. I agree with Tom that PR is outdated, although DA/PA can be quite easily manipulated as well.
The site is of a decent quality, most ads are below the fold rather than intrusive. It's a good find!
-
Thanks Tom,
So taking PR out of the equation, you think it's ok?
Do you know of any services which allow you to check sites on the same IP? How comes you think this check is necessary?
Thanks again Tom.
-
In all honesty, I'd completely ignore PR. It's a completely out-dated metric that you should not rely on for link prospecting.
All those other factors you mention, DA, PA, trust and social integration (think G+ authors) are far more important. To add to the list, I'd look at how many sites sit on that IP/neighbourhood and check that there isn't anything dodgy going on with any of them.
Forget PR and go with your gut!

Post Privacy Settings
Facebook says roughly 12% of your friends see your posts. Facebook has privacy settings. Naturally the setting is "public." If you change the setting from public to "Selected List," do you think more of that group of people will get the message? If your public setting has 1,000 friends, and the list contains 200 people, do you think it will generate the post to 12% of the list? Is there anyone interested in testing this? It would make a GREAT blog post! I would certainly read it. If you have any tips to help hit more people on Facebook let me hear it please!

Linking Facebook - Twitter - Website - G+ Profiles
During a spectacular presentation at Seattle Interactive Conference, Rand discussed how Google is able to see linkage between different social networks and a Google profile. Outside of setting up your Twitter feed to send loads of messages to your Facebook fans (or vice versa), is there a best way to communicate the "linkage" between your social media profiles to the search engines? Eg - How do you best signal to Google that your Twitter, Facebook, G+ and your website are from the same entity?
