Keri i got u... I have to build my 60% to 75% to related my Miche and rest of the link from Very good Page and domain Authority.Only Build a link from higher page and domain authority.
Thanks much keri
-
A different way to look at this: If you sat down with one of the engineers on Google's spam team, and you both looked at this page together, would you feel comfortable saying "yes, that's my link"?
-
Thanks irving , only domain authority could not worthy??
so for best link juice we need to chk both page and domain authority right??/
Thanks

In this case, I think the toolbar PR6 might be for the hompage of the domain. The URL listed has a PA of 1. It's not a strong individual page itself.
-
If the link is on a clean page that is not spammed and has no chance of being spammed in the future, and also has a low amount of links on the page (both internal and external) than a PR6 link is a great link to get relevant or not. It is still passing the same PR. But don't confuse the homepage being PR6 with the page you are getting a link from as being a PR6 link. The PR has to be on the page, not the domain.

On any of the forums I admin, I'd remove that link in a heartbeat.
Before spending more time trying to add links, I'd suggest browsing the Q&A forum here and look at the number of people that are trying to remove low-quality links. The easiest link to remove is the one that you never built. I'd be cautious of finding places where it's too easy to just drop your link. Those are the ones that are unmonitored and going to be the hardest one to remove if you ever get hit for a bad backlink profile. I don't know how your profile does look, but the focus of these posts on building links exclusively, and for ranking rather than any type of converting traffic, is a little worrying.
-
No, stay as on topic as possible - just focus on getting higher quality links. If I understand you correctly, you already have 3k links and still want to improve you ranking. This tells me that you probably have a lot of low-med quality links and you should now focus your attention on getting high authority links.
News sites, authority health blogs, I would participate in health related forums instead of a random edu one, write an educational resource that cites other authoritative websites, contact webmasters in related niches and get backlinks from them, etc. Focus on quality over quantity.
Edit: Yeah, what Keri said. You need great content to get those high authority links you need to get your rankings to the next level. Especially in the uber competitive acne niche.
-
keri we have 500-600 word Original content which review that specific acne product very precisely. ..and we just put the img of 200x200 and give the affiliate link..and one banner at right sidrbar..Thats all we have on that page..
-
What does your content look like? Do you have information out there about Acne that other sites don't have? Do you have a reason for someone to go to your site as opposed to another site?
Here's a great YouMoz we posted (and promoted to the main blog) last week that talks about attracting links rather than building links. Instead of looking for places you can drop a link to your site, have you tried building the content on your site so people will want to link to you?
-
Oleg i really like your answer ..my niche is Acne and i find almost 2k- 3k link but some r not indexed ..after 3k what will i do to increase the authority??so if i go and build the link in different niche that would be ok?
-
According to u , for backlink we have to see first page authority and after the domain authority right??
Domain authority could not help to give some authority to our site?
-
If it's not related, it's not useful. The domain authority is for the site as a whole, not for that teeny tiny section. I have an edu link from Stanford. It's at ldt.stanford.edu/~myusername. The URL has been there since 2001, yet that page still has a page authority of 1 and no metrics, despite the domain authority of Stanford being huge.That subdomain has been having intermittent problems and is not always online, but my ranking does not change with whether that link is online or not.
I wouldn't go for the link. It's just not natural.
-
Shouldn't hurt, just wont be as effective as a link from a relevant topic.
Just throw your link into your signature and participate in the community. Just posting a thread with the url will probably get you banned from the forum.
-
Oleg if i tool the backlink from Pr8 forum with no spam but not a relevance so is it good or not??
My main concern is that forum have 6+pr but its not a my niche relevance so its good to take the backlink??
Thanks
-
Thanks keri for Prompt answer , But the domain Authority is 83 ..page has no authority so still its useful or not?
Chk this url
http://scci.csumain.csu.edu.au/com130/
Thanks

Lets put it this way, if you post an unrelated link into a forum and it isn't removed, that is not a link you want.
Un-moderated forums are filled with spam, high pagerank ones even more so. You risk that link hurting your website's rankings.
-
I've seen plenty of spammy EDU pages with 5000 spam comments and link drops. That's going to have no value for Google, and I wouldn't want my link on a page like that. I doubt the page itself has a toolbar pagerank of 6.
If you really want to investigate, look at the page itself in Open Site Explorer and look at our metrics for an idea if the page on which you want the link is trusted. Based on what you said, I wouldn't go for it or I'd get it removed. Can you share the URL here?

Best to Spend Marketing Budget on High Quality Articles OR Link Building Services?
Greeting MOZ Community: My site has 400 domains linking to it of which about 180 are toxic and 180 are suspicious according to a site audit from a reputable SEO firm. The SEO firm is offering link removal and link building services to remedy the situation. My question is this: if I can create and post high quality blog articles on a very regular basis, will this in and of itself create high quality links to my site? If the articles are of exceptional quality can I post them elsewhere to earn quality links? Does it make more sense to use my budget on paying a PR agency to create high quality articles and posting them on my blog or elsewhere rather than spending on an SEO link building campaign? Should I do both? I plan on having the SEO firm remove toxic links and optimize content using Yoast. But I want to be careful about not wasting my budget if the links will develop naturally if I post the content online myself. I am more inclined to have an SEO pro work on creating links but why pay if I can do it myself. Any thoughts?

Confusion about forums and canonical links
Like many people, I get a lot of alerts about duplicate content, etc. I also don't know if I am hurting my domain authority because of the forum. It is a pretty active forum, so it is important to the site. So my question is, right now there could be 50 pages like this <domain>/forum/index.php/topic/6043-new-modular-parisian-restaurant-10243-is-here/

<domain>/forum/index.php/topic/6043-new-modular-parisian-restaurant-10243-is-here/page-1
<domain>/forum/index.php/topic/6043-new-modular-parisian-restaurant-10243-is-here/page-2
<domain>/forum/index.php/topic/6043-new-modular-parisian-restaurant-10243-is-here/page-3
all the way to:
<domain>/forum/index.php/topic/6043-new-modular-parisian-restaurant-10243-is-here/page-50</domain></domain></domain></domain></domain> So right now the rel canonical links are set up just like above, including the page numbers. I am not sure if that is the best way or not. I really thought that all the of links for that topic should be
<domain>/forum/index.php/topic/6043-new-modular-parisian-restaurant-10243-is-here/ that way it would passing "juice" to the main topic/link. </domain> I do have other links setup for:
link rel='next',link rel='up',link rel='last' Overall is this correct, or is there a better way to do it?0 -
Link Anchor Text
As I keep studing SEO I reach to the conclusion that the Anchor Text from other site is crucial to get more positive results for our website and for the link-building strategy. My question is - Is it better to have an Anchor Text to my main link our should I ask for a determine targeted keyword? Tks in advance! Pedro M Pereira

Outgoing affiliate links and link juice
I have some affiliate websites which have loads of outgoing affiliate links. I've discussed this with a SEO friend and talked about the effect of the link juice going out to the affiliate sites. To minimize this I've put "no follows" on the affiliate links but my friend says that even if you have no follow Google still then diminishes the amount of juice that goes to internal pages, for example if the page has 10 links, 9 are affiliate with no follow - Google will only give 10% of the juice to the 1 internal page. Does anyone know if this is the case? and whether there are any good techniques to keep as much link juice on the site as possible without transferring to affiliate links? Appreciate any thoughts on this! Cheers

Should I remove paid links?
I recently added about 20 paid links from directories but have since seen a 10% drop in traffic. I did also delete about 1000 pages of content that had no inbound links and were duplicated on other sites on the web and replaced the content with new content supplied by a client but still duplicated on other sites on the web, old URLs no longer valid or linked to, new content on new URLs. Assuming the drop in traffic had nothing to do with the content change mentioned above, should I remove the paid links in an attempt to recover? I don't think the old content was bringing in much traffic as it appeared elsewhere on more authoritive sites than mine.
