What is Business Profile Listing?
-
Could you please explain business profile listing and the advantages of it in detail. Can the listing be made in any of the business profile listings websites or to the content related websites. For example, for automotive engines website, can the profile listing be made in any business profile listing or only to automotive related business website. Can you also provide few business profile listing websites with good page rank.

Business profile listing is nothing but listing your business in business directories, like:
getlisted.org and many more
And yes, you can submit your business (offline/online) in any of these directories but you should prefer only domain related directories, as you would get better results from there.
Page Rank really doesn't matter as long as the website/directory is authentic, relevant and is of high quality.
As far as the advantages are concerned so you get good referral traffic, in some cases back link as well, it also helps you to get some good reviews as most of such directories provide their customers/visitors with a functionality to vote or review any business which they have used or like. So you build a positive image among the customers and in the eyes of search engines as well.

Is listing our media mentions in our News section canceling inbound link benefit?
Long-time Moz user, first question ever! When our company is mentioned in the news, we add a blurb to our In the News section on our site. If we link to the article, is that 2-way link canceling out the benefit of the inbound link from the publication? It's a two-way link, but we aren't trading links with SEO intent or doing anything malicious. Thanks, Sean

Why does Open Site Explorer list SEOMOZ forum links so high ?
When I was checking my back links in Open Sight Explorer I was surprised to see that because I have asked three questions recently here on the forum about my business website www.endeavourcottage.co.uk and they are now listed near the position 3 to 5 Of course I was not putting my business website link on their with the motivation of gaining some SEO benefits but when you get these no follow links do they have any usefulness in that direction? I read that say no follow links have no link juice so is any beneficial aspects? I It wouldn't be the ideal situation to encourage that kind of activity, but if they have no value at all why does Open Site Explorer list them? seo.JPG

No Follow User Profiles?
So our site has these user profiles and when they leave a comment on a page it links to the users profile. Now there is no way there is spamming with these profiles because they can't use outside links on them so I was wondering what peoples thoughts are of making these user profiles no follow. I'm asking because some pages are coming back with 110 or more links on a single page because of the profiles so I was thinking of making the profiles no follow since I don't see them effecting too much of the site, but I was wondering what others thoughts were on this one.

Anyone have a list of paid directories?
I want to get into some good paid directories, but every list I have found out there is either just a top ten and repeats the same ones or is a list of 500 where I know most are worthless. Has anyone submitted to paid directories that has a list of good ones that are actually worth submitting to?

Value of a link from very large profile site
Hello We have an opportunity to get a link from a very large traffic site. It comes with a price tag, and Im wondering if it is worth it. Is it ok to mention the page and cost? It is the 5th largest internet site. Would be on their benefactors page. There are many other sites linking from the page, and its obvious they are on there for the link value. I know sometimes one link can do wonders for rankings, where thousands of others can not. But wondering if there is any way to quanitfy this. Is it worth it for the value of the backlink? If we link to the home page, the link juice (alot I hope) would pass through to the deeper pages, and increase their rankings for their target keywords? Thanks for your advise. Sam
