How to select a quality site with SEOmoz root domain ranks for guest blogging?
-
Hi all!
I'm going to submit a few guest posts to several web sites. When I'm selecting a blog, to submit a post, I use SEOMoz root domain statistics ( specially DA).
I need to know what is the optimum rank level for select a good quality website to submit posts? Currently I use DA30 or higher sites. Is it a good?
Apart from that, what are the other criteria that I should check? Specially after the penguin 4 update?

Useless website; webmasters post cheap content to get a link.
No social engagement, ads everywhere... Even if the DA is 44, just forget this kind of website for guest posts.

If my mother landed on the site from Google, would she call me and complain about the crap that Google's indexing and why doesn't she get better results. That's one measure.
Another would be is this site one you'd feel comfortable putting up on the projector in a meeting and saying that you got a link from them.

Thank you Erwan your information. Yes PR is a major factor. Could you please give me a clue to identify spammy sites? You mean copy paste blogs?

Matthew made a good point with social engagement.

1/ You could also look the PageRank. If you are PR 3, focus PR 3+ websites.
2/ Most important is the website himself. Does it look spammy or does it have a real content? Is it an interesting website? Is there affiliate links, text link or casino ads ?
If a website is new but has only high quality posts, it does not matter if DA is under 30 and PR still 0.
3/ A natural linking profile means also links from "low" websites, not only from PR3+ by example, especially for a new website.
Look the charts in this article : http://www.seowizz.net/2010/10/high-quality-links-dont-work-natural-profiles.html
You clearly see the natural/not natural profile :).

Often you can get a feel of the quality of a website from just looking at it.
Does it look professional? Would you be proud of hosting your content there?
Another thing to take into account is the user interaction that a website receives. A website may have a high DA but if the articles have no comments or social shares then it's unlikely the content is particularly credible. On the other hand, sites with lesser DA but interaction through comments and social shares is much more appealing to me.

Open Site Explorer detects links from a site that redirects to it? How is this possible?
I was checking external links to a site: scte-brasilien.de/ and was wondering why there are so many links pointing from another domain (reisen-nach-brasilien.com/) although it redirects to scte-brasilien.de/? So when checking the redirecting domain OSE knows its redirecting... The URL you've entered redirects to another URL. We're showing results for scte-brasilien.de/ since it is likely to have more accurate link metrics. See data forreisen-nach-brasilien.com/ instead? How is this possible? best regards

Why is the SEOmoz customer service on this site so awful?
Half the time the tools don't work and there isn't any accountability. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Why are SEOmoz Pro Keyword Ranking reports different between two 301-linked URLs?
Hi, My main domain is www.dancenut.com. I have this 301 URL redirected to www.dancenut.com/boston/. I set up an SEOmoz Pro campaign for each of these URLs in order to see if they were being treated differently in any way. In most cases the report results are identical, or the small differences are understandable. However, there is one big difference between the two sets of campaign reports. In the Keyword Ranking reports, the data for the Bing and Yahoo! reports are identical, but the data for the Google reports are dramatically different. Out of 21 keywords, 9 are listed in the top 50 for www.dancenut.com, but only 2 are listed in the top 50 for www.dancenut.com/boston/ (the specific positions are the same for the 2 keywords that are listed for both). Does this make any sense? Could the SEOmoz Pro data be wrong? If not, then I'm suspicious that Google may not be interpreting the 301 redirect properly. I don't think this could be fully explained by a 1-10% reduction in link juice due to the 301 because I have one keyword for which my site ranks #1 in Google, Bing, and Yahoo! with www.dancenut.com, but it doesn't even rank in the top 50 in Google with www.dancenut.com/boston/. And why would these differences only exist for Google? Any insight would be much appreciated! Andrew
