Article Directory Page Rank 7
-
Hi Guys,
Would I be correct in my assumption that if I submitted articles to this directory: www . thefreelibrary.com I would recieve a link back to my site of PR7. Could this be correct?
Any help with this and any information on Article Directories worth submitting in would be great.
Thank for looking,
Craig

Everyone is now doing article marketing (guest posting etc) so for sure at some point in the near future those type of links will be a no-no like forum signature that back in 2004-2005 were the hot subject of everyone in SEO - publicly that is - not as a dark tactique.
So if it's easy to post it there then go for it - but if this link will requaire a lot of "resources" then you should think about it.
More then that you won't get a PR 7 link there. You will get a PR 0 in the beginning. Your page could get some weight in time but for sure it won't get to PR 7.
Domain authority however matters so there is a plus there. You should however consider first the page that holds the link as far as power not the domain. (the domain as an additional factor but for sure not as a primary factor).
my 2c.

Craig,
It's also important to point out that the PR 7 is the page rank of the domain not an actual page. Since your articles will probably be new pages, these pages will begin with a PR of 0 on a domain with a pr of 7.
Also remember that Google is counting less and less article sites, so you do take the chance of being hit by Google or having these links discontinued in the future.

If you install that toolbar, you can check to see if links are follow or no follow.
Social Media is correct. I never checked the site, but the links are marked as No-follow so it wont help with your rankings..
If you are wanting to publish an article, I would suggest rather asking a webmaster in your niche to publish it on there website in the form of a guest post.
Do some research here for info on guest posting. Once you have a good understanding, type this in Google for guest posting opportunities.
"Keyword"+“Guest bloggers wanted” OR “guest blogger wanted”

If you are using chrome right click on the link and select inspect element.

How can you tell?
-
Hi Greg,
Thanks for that. Is there a way of telling, because I could not quite establish if the link was follow or nofollow and where and how would you recommend creating the back links to the article?
Thanks Again.
C.

Yes but you would get a "no follow" link back to your site..

Hi Craig
Simply put, yes you will get the "trust" signal by getting a link on that website.
However, because the page you create has very little authority, there is very little "link juice" that passes onto your website (The stronger the page, the more ranking power you receive)
Get the best of both.. Publish the article, and then build a few back links to your article. This will improve the article pages Authority (page rank) and will in tern filter it into your website..
Just make sure the article is not specifically about the products you sell or it may outrank your website when you promote the article

Magento Dynamic Pages Being Indexed
Hi there, I have about 50k Moz medium priority errors in my Crawl Diagnostic report. The bulk of them are classified as "Temporary Redirect" problems. Then if you drill into those further, I can see that the problem urls all kinda are center around: mysite.com/catalogsearch/result.. mysite.com/wishlist.. mysite.com/catalog.. Is this something I should disallow in my Robstxt file? And if so how specific do I get with it.. Disallow /catalogsearch/result/?q= Will listing the /catalogsearch be enough to cover anything after it? thanks

Ranking keyword ecommerce product
Hi guys, I run an ecommerce store footdistrict.com. We sell sneakers. My question relates to the name of some of my products and how to rank for them. This concerns to the shoes from New Balance The name of this products follows this format: New Balance XXNumberXXX . But actually I have realized I am ranking for New Balance XXNumber XXX . Note the space between the number and the last 3 characters. All my titles, h1, keywords follow this format. Example: New Balance WL574 RUP vs New Balance WL574RUP My questions are: 1. How would you determine which keyword to rank for: New Balance XXNumberXXX or New Balance XXNumber XXX? I have thought of using analytics data to see the pattern of the users search or maybe the difficulty of the keyword? I am receiving a decent amount of traffic for New Balance XXNumber XXX but I wonder if it'd be higher ranking for New Balance XXNumberXXX 2. Does the algorithmn take into account this space? According to the On page Grader, I have an A for New Balance XXNumber XXX and a F for New Balance XXNumber XXX but I assume the engine doesn't work this way 3. What would you do? Thanks very much Kind regards

On Link Analysis tab I my best pages are 301 and 404 pages.
I looked on my redirrect file and found that /* redirects to /v/404.asp.
Moz Pro | | sbetzen
However if you look below at the link analysis the 404 page is getting a 404 error.
The homepage ecowindchimes.com/ is getting a 301 (but I don't know where it is going to).
The third one is also redirected. 1. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/ ||| 301 ||| 2 ||| 36 2. 2. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/v/404.asp ||| 404 ||| 2 ||| 34 3. [No Data] 3. ecowindchimes.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d2.html ||| 301 ||| 1 ||| 33 So I have 2 questions: 1) should this be fixed? and 2) how? This is a volusion site and I believe the "catchall" redirect was done by them0 -
Why is my site not ranking?
I have done various link building strategies, and used all white hat seo methods. SEOMoz even shows that my site is better than all my competition, but yet it doesn't rank ANYWHERE on Google. Can someone point me in the right direction as to why this is happening? I have attached the opensitexplorer screenshot showing my competition. 2013-02-13_1456_zpsb86ab0e1.png

Why did SEOMoz only crawl 1 page?
I have multiple campaigns and on a few of them SEOMoz has only crawled one page. I think this may have to do with how I set up the campaign. How do I get SEOMoz to crawl more than one page on these campaigns.

Pagerank Update - Decreased Rankings
After the PR update the other day, some of my domain names gained PR (from 0 to 3 or 4) but the kw rank they held previously dropped off the map. Its clear the term pagerank is ill defined. Does anyone have any insight into this?
