Link juice - What could be the reason for our bad internal page Page Authority
-
So OK we have a domain authority currently of 41, we are well established but unfortunately we don't have any pages with PA. I have a fair idea of why this is the case but want to get some other opinions before I form my strategy.
1.It appears our internal link structure is not great and is not very organised
2. It appears we have 58 links going externally on some pages. Some of these external links are social media icons in the footer which are followed.
Is there any other factors I should be aware of when building PA on some of my inner pages.
Any Thoughts would be appreciated.

If you only have outbound links from your internal pages then that should be a major clue as to why you have poor "PA" Page Authority. You need to develop a concerted effort to "Earn" links to your content. Especially from high "PA" pages on high "DA" Domain Authority websites.
There are a lot of ways to earn inbound links but the best way is to create great high-quality content that solves problems or answers questions.
How about giving people a solution to a problem your clients often face. Create your solution pages to get people to go to and stay on your site. People will start to pick up the content and the inbound likes will start coming in.

Internal linking should have a hierarchy. Your main pages or top tier will have the highest pa. Linking within the text to the internal pages should start to allow the link juice flow down the hierarchy. You should make sure when you link to internal pages that there is common ground between the pages. You don't want to link from a page about sports to a page about cooking unless the cooking content is sports related.
Build a strategy around relevance and you will see these inner pages start to gain page authority.

Hi,
You should aldo get inbound links directly to the inner pages to get the PA increase. Prioritise your main landing pages and try to build links on those.

What is the number of links do you require your link builder to attain each week or month? What is a reasonable goal?
Hello Mozzers... I would like to get a survey or feedback from other Mozzers who owns an SEO company or manages / hire link builders. **What is the average number of links does your link builder need to attain per week or month? what is their goal? ** I understand quality over quantity but I want to make sure there is a reasonable average to provide them goals and something to achieve on. Of course reward them more if they exceed or get .edu links. What do you institute? What do you think is fair and achievable per website? PS. There is no right or wrong answers here. I am looking for a measurable answer not subjectable. Again just gathering MEASURABLE GOALS.

Link Relevance vs Link Authority ?
Hi guys, I have a quick question regarding some low quality links my site is getting. From the information in Open Site Explorer, the website Im talking about has a page authority of 16 while the domain authority is 11\. These are very low quality scores in my oppinion and Im thinking of removing them with Google Disavow Tool. The thing is that, although the domain is low quality, the links have relevance as they're in the same business sector as us. More exactly, the name of the domain is taxisavona and the company I work for is also a taxi company. So, now I`m thinking, should I disavow the link because of it's low scores or should I leave it because it is relevant to our business ? Thank you in advance! Best regards, Tiberiu Iavorenciuc

Removal of Bad Links
Before I started doing SEO for the company I am currently working in, they had an Indian company doing loads of spammy SEO work for their site. My question is as follows; should i try to remove the links that were inserted there. I am doing link building now in a natural way, which obviously takes days to get a link - not minutes. I'm worried that the link profile is full of years of spammy links and I can't dilute it as fast as I would like. Here are a few links to different sites that the company created links on: http://youdoze.com/ http://www.video-bookmark.com/ http://mylinkvault.com/ http://www.puplinks.com/ http://huzoo.com/ How do I go about this?

Internal Linking Structure
I have a question about internal linking. I am trying to rank for the term 'entertainment agent' and wonder wether I should go through my blog posts (50 or so) and link the words 'entertainment agent' to my homepage which is optomised for the keyword. Will that add any SEO value? Should I be directing any 'link juice' from my blog posts to the main pages I want to rank or will that look unnatural?
