In the middle of Link Building campaign! Do you think Dog Blogs are a good Idea?
-
Hello Again,
Here's I thing, my main website is my Digital Web Agency www.FenwayMedia.co.uk but I also hold good affinity with dog lovers on Facebook over 2100 friends and have a website www.Sepperro.com dedicated to my kennel of 9 racing Siberian huskies.
In return I would give them exposure to my dog mediums (articles, links etc.) My only slight concern was relevance. However my thinkning is that as a Digital Agency surely you would be expected to have links coming from all sorts of sources as you "may" have had some input into the development of their site/ marketing etc.
What do you guys think?
Thank you once again.
Kind Regards,
Craig

Yup,
Thats what I thought guys, I have been checking page rank and only targeting those between PR3-6. I also have a Siberian Huslky website because I have nine dogs, so instead of it being a two way link I am offering posts in my Husky site and links back from there coupled with advertising on my Facebook page which houses over 2,000 dog lovers. So I do most certainly want to give something back but it a way that will be most beneficial to the cause.
Thanks for looking.

You are right Craig, as a Digital Agency you should expect to get links from divers topics. As Ben mentioned this will be ok if it's part of a balanced link-building campaign. I would also make sure that they link back using different anchor text and perhaps to different pages on your site, not just the home page. Another thing to take into consideration is the strength of those blogs. Having a bunch of new links from PR 0 pages can look spammy and not have much value.

As part of a balanced campaign I don't see a problem with getting links from dog blogs.
In your shoes I'd make sure I had other more relevant links as well but if the dog blogs are easy enough to get and you just want a few links then go for it.

Need help locating a 404 link
My reports are showing a 404 error for a link to a page in our WP site for which we changed the URL months ago. I can't find where the link is coming from. I used Screaming Frog, but can't find where it might tell me the origin of the link, only that it exists. I am pretty sure it's internal. Can someone please tell me how to find the originating page so I can remove the link without having to comb through every page of the site to look for it? Thanks!

How does OSE select top 10,000 links
Quick question about OSE, if you are extracting with excel all inbound links from a big site like IMDB.com, OSE only exports 10,000. However IMDB has alot more links then that. I was wondering what criteria does OSE use to select those 10,000 links from the 100,000+ which IMDB has. Is it a random selection of those 10,000 links or does it select those 10,000 links based on metrics like DA or PA? For the settings i have selected: followed + 301s, only external, pages on this root domain, group by domain. Cheers, Chris

Sharing/Transferring SEOMOZ campaigns
What happens when you are no longer working on a campaign, and your client needs the campaign history? I don't pay for my account, my employer does. If I ever have to move on what should I do with the account? I would want to keep my seomoz profile and Q&A history. But the campaigns belong to my employer so I would have to change all of the profile settings into his name… Is there a protocol for this kind of situation?

Limit of 3 competitors per campaign
Hello, Can I just check why the number of competitors per campaign is limited to 3? ie. We have up to 20 URLs we want to monitor for the same keywords as us. I understand I can add another campaign to track another 4x URLs, but this will not show those in relation to our main URL/campaign. We would prefer to have space for 12 competitors rather than 12 campaigns. If we upgrade to Elite is the number increased? Might be missing something here, as we are new to SEOMoz, so grateful for any advice. SEOMoz is really great, we have learned so much already. Rich

Hi All, I don't understand the metrics for this website http://www.tntaccess.fr : http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.tntaccess.fr%252F/a!metrics There is 0 internal followed links, is it normal? because there are internal followed links for this website. Or there is something I dont understand. It is penalizing for the website? how do we correct this? does it come from the robot text file? Thanks a lot for your help Anne
