Trying to use the SEOmoz link building tools but...
-
all of the directories that are listed seem to be based in the US for US companies - am I missing something?
By the way my target audience is solely based in the UK,
Thanks,
Jason

Jason, actually I prefer softball questions
Value depends on what you need and want. With Yahoo directory if you look at $299 and then look at what can be obtained at that cost for other directories or submissions it might not be. But, if you have a single site that you want to promote, are in need of quality level of Yahoo, etc. it might be a good spend.
In the U.S., for clients who have multiple sites in services or professions as opposed to an eCommerce site, it is not as good a value for sure. Can you find a couple of high quality submission sites, spend that same amount and possibly get two to three times the value? I think it is possible.Really hope that helps.

One thing to do is to request a feature along this line as SEOmoz does monitor the Q&A and the staff is responsive. Here is link to features request
There are also a lot of European members on moz, so hopefully a few more will pick up on this as well and provide direction.
I am also throwing in a link to a thread on submission sites, etc. I have used a couple and as yet have no opinion but some are Indian based and obviously do business with European clients. You should also look at this thread as there are some gems: Dmoz submission, Yahoo directory, etc.

And you´re a lucky guy. I work just for Spanish companies. Tools work fine to compare my competition and take a look into their linkbuilding. I use Link aquisition assistant just have to translate terms to spanish. In your case maybe you can replace them with typical UK words.
The directory list is still usefull for me because some of them are worth getting a link from even if they are not european oriented.
But it seems like a very good and useful tip for Seomoz to pay some more attention to Europe.

Do you consider it risky to hire outside firms to build links?
Based on what happened to JC Penny do you think there is a significant risk of penalties if you have an outside firm build links for your site? For example they could buy some links and get caught or engage in black hat tactics without our knowledge. Is there anything that can be done to minimize any such risk?

How to Define Quality of External Website During Link Building?
I want to know about process, method or tool which can help me to define quality of external website during link building. We are searching too many questions and topics on Google to resolve daily mind bubbles which land us on different website with different subject. I found that, I was able to drop my website URL over there but confuse about quality of website. I am selling Football and create external link from baby care website. So, will it make sense? My concern is that, Can we create external links from different subject website or specific to subject oriented website? Is there any specific method which help me to understand more about external website and help me to take decision about link building?
