'dilution' of link value.
-
Running ecommerce site selling childrens clothing for norwegian market. Most important keyword childrens clothing (barneklær) isnt too competitive (34 if i remember correct). The 2nd most important has very low competition (5 i think).
I am starting a 3 month add with the best blog i found in norway. I am getting a 150x150 ad. In addition she is giving me a presentation in her blog tekst and allows me to arrange giveaway on my terms. She is allowing me to choose anchor text to use in presentation. Her stats to me seem very solid PA 58, DA 50 mozr 5,2 , mozt 4,6. http://www.joridkvam.com/
Should I in the upcoming months try to get in as many anchor texts links from her to different pages on my site. I have main words and producers etc that i am optimizing for on differnt sites. Or will the value of them just get diluted? so basically try to get in 2 links or 10 ?
I am also curious as to which extent this one link will affect my ratings. I am ranking 24th for main term atm ( http://www.epleskrinet.no/ ) . Any one have any guesses ?
thanks

Thanks for your help. I am working on it day by day. She is hosting a giveaway for me in a couple of weeks . Most likely 10-15 other minor blogs will link to me as a result of it. Have another major blog coming up next week. Planning a tweet that i hope i can get to 'go viral' +++.

Getting links from that site is a good thing but I would advice you to work at getting links from other sites as well. remember to focus on your niche so you get top quality links from your niche. And always try to get the right anchor text but remember to vary the anchor text or Google will get suspicious. It's not often that one site gets 100 links to a single page with the same key phrase as anchor text and the SE's know this.

It might be still to early to know, but she released the article yesterday. It contained links to front page with 2 diff anchor text keywords and to 2 other pages with other anchor text. I got around 250 clicks same day and in the afternoon i noticed that ranking had gone from 24th-->21st and 36th --> 29th for 2 main keywords around 12 hours after release.

You might a bit. But more links are (almost) always better. You should try to get both high quality links and some low quality (easy) links. The easy links (yes link catalogues) can work quite well if done in conjunction with the heigh quality links. Sure they won't be as effective as the high quality ones but allot easier to get. But try to keep a reasonable spread, for each heigh quality link try to get 5 or so low. Keep a natural link acquisition rate.

Thanks for your reply. I still dont have a ton of linking root domains. But should be up to around 30-40. I try to vary anchor text when i get the chance to dictate it. Yes i am optimizing for different keywords on different pages and all dont go to the front page.
To refrace my question. I do have 2 keywords on frontpage which is my main focus and that i find most important (50k clicks a month). From this relatively decent page mentioned i have the possibility to get several keywords in and link them to different pages and not only frontpage. Will i weaken the linkflow to my main keywords if I make her in a later article link to 4-5 other keywords (eg 'brandnameofclothing' - only 4-5k clicks/month) that each have a separate page that i optimize.
In other words i dont want to sacrifice the link value that i get to my main keywords if that is significantly lessened by adding more achor text keywords.

depending on the competion one link won't have a huge effect. But more will help allot. But more links even from only one site is always better then none. But try to get links from other sites as well and try to vary the anchor texts and the pages you get links for. Not all links should be to your frontpage. But a PR4-5 link will work but don't expect a miracle from only one linking root domain.
Our company blog started out with a completely new domain. 3 months later, with almost no link building and roughly 10 domains pointing to it (1 PR 5) it has a PR of 3 closing in on 4.) ok we have done allot of tweeting and social activities. But building PR is hard work, and we don't have the time.
Quality links from quality articles (guest blogging ex.) and quality content + social activity will get you up there quickly. But 1 link from a PR 4-5 site won't help allot.
The best advice I can give is look through the quality blog posts on seomoz about link building (and check out the whiteboard friday as well) and you will be well on your way to the top

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

Effects of a bad link linking to a image
i am getting a lot of links from wallpapers sites.. One person has created 1000's of similar sites that are linking back to my images. My guess is images do not pass link value positive or negative. But I am not sure what the potential effects would be. Does anyone know who linking to images might effect SEO especially when there coming from horribly low quality auto generated sites.

What are the SEO value of revolving or rotating lists of links?
What are the SEO value of revolving or rotating lists of links? For example the links at the bottom of the homepage of inlandnwopera.com. The links are based in images and I am not really sure Google would pick them up but they do appear on ahrefs.com. Thank you.

How Effective Are Links Between The Same Company's Websites With Different Domain Extensions?
Morning! The main competitor of an eCommerce site I'm working on has a total of 31 sites for 31 different countries. Each one of these sites has a different domain extension (.com, .co.uk, .fr, .it etc.), and every single one of these sites' pages links to all the other homepages through a dropdown menu on the navigation bar. When I pop the .co.uk URL (our main competitor) into Open Site Explorer, I'm advised they have a 45,079 links from 475 domains. If I look at 'just discovered' links, most are from their own sites - I guess MOZ picks these up every time a new page is created. Now, these guys are huge in the UK. They rank in the top 10 for pretty much every single search term and, to put it into some kind of perspective, their Search Metrics score is 33,000 compared to our measly 160! Don't get me wrong, they do get some decent links from authoritative sites, but it seem most of their links are from their own sites. How does Google view these? Does my competitor have these thousands of 'internal' backlinks to thank for their current position? I've just checked their .kr URL and this has 12.5 million(!) links from just 450 domains. Do every single one of these links pass equity? Or does Google just look at one from each domain? Thanks, Lewis

Do No follow links from social media platforms transfer authority or value when they link to third party websites?
With social media playing a bigger role in SEO (since the Panda, Penguin updates etc) and how search engines rank sites now, does anybody know why Twitter for instance has 'no follow' when I check my client's websites under 'inbound links' on Open Site Explorer?
