Simple Link Question
-
Hi Guys,
I will appreciate if you answer 1 small question.....
Will our site benefit from that link?
Valuable website related to our business ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on second site) ---link to our site --->Kind Regards,
webdeal -
+1 to what Doug said. A nofollow link can still drive a lot of value in the form of traffic. Looking for additional ways to turn that page into a linkable resource would probably be the best use of your time, rather than trying to figure out which specific links will have the most benefit.
-
Are there any opportunities here? Why does the valuable website link to the PDF doc? Can you provide a better (quality), more accessible (html) page that they'd link to instead of the PDF? Can you provide other content around the same topic that they'd be interested in? Do they ever use followed links in their content?
At the end of the day, it's still a nofollow link so the benefit will be minimal/insignificant unless you get direct referral traffic via that link,

All i meant..... better to have a link like
Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite
rather then...
Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> To mysite
Tell me if i am wrong...
-
What do you mean by "look much stronger."
Page rank domain trust will not change with a no follow

Hi Saijo,
based on your answer...
Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite
will look much stronger....Correct?
Thank you
Dmitriy

Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> Your Site
Assuming Site 1 is a high profile site the PDF will get some benefit out of that nofollow link and the link from the pdf will help your site. So in theory there is some small amount of indirect SEO value to be had there.

You will not get any thing from the link "link Juice is the common term"
Hope that helps,

Social Links through Link Shortners. Does it count?
We use link shortner services like Bitly, Goo.gl, etc. Does the post used while making use of such link shortner services counts as a social signal. Or should we post the complete website url pointing to each page while posting on social sites. Secondly, should we write a new description while posting on Social sites or just copy paste a few lines of original posts?

Too Many External Links A Problem
Client is thinking of adding a directory to an eCommerce site which users would find useful. It would help users find other services and vendors that are specific to the niche of products this site is selling. My only concern is it would create a number of external links to other sites. Even though they're related, would this diminish our standing with Google search?

Link Juice + Site Structure
Hi All, I have attached a simple website model.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Mark_Ch
Page A is the home page attracting 1000 visitors per month.
One click away is Page B with 400 visitors per month, so on and so forth. You get an idea of the flow and clicks required to get to various pages. I have purposely placed Pages E-G to be 3 clicks away as they yield very little traffic. 1] Is this the best way to distribute link juice?
2] Should I point Pages C + D back to page A to influence its Page Rank (PA) Any other useful advice would be appreciated. Thanks Mark vafnchI0 -

I currently have a client that has multiple domains for multiple brands that share the same IP Address. Will link juice be passed along to the different sites when they link to one another or will it simply be considered internal linking?
I have 7 brands that are owned by the same company, each with their own domain. The brands work together to form products that are then sold to the consumer although there is not a e-commerce aspect to any of the sites. I am looking to create a modified link wheel between the sites, but didn't know if my efforts would pay off due to the same IP Address for all the sites. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Sitemap.xml Question
I am pretty new to SEO and I have been creating new pages for our website for niche terms. Should I include ALL pages on our website in the sitemap.xml or should I only have our "main" pages listed on the sitemap.xml file? Thanks
