Would you guest post on this website?
-
Hi,
What do you think of this website for guest posting - www.forevergeek.com
Now to me I would quite happily give up a guest post to this website, and the reason behind this would be...
DA:63
PA:67
MR:5.6
MT:5.8
And lots of social sharing per post and to me this would be a perfect site to get some exposure on, looks ok as well.
BUT the only thing which would put some doubt in my mind is the PR2, I would assume a site with DA:63 would have a PR4/5.
What are your thoughts on this?
-
It's easy to overcomplicate these things.
- Is it a good site?
- Is it relevant?
- Do they allow anyone to guest post or are the guest posts always quality and relevant?
If it's relevant, quality and visible in search then go for it.
Hope that helps!

I did watch a Matt Cutts vid on this and he said a few interlinking sites is ok, as long as they are relevant.
I didn't really check the sites on the same IP, I do now though.
Thanks Tom.

So I guess the only real indicator of a good site is the engagement from the user - comments/social sharing.
I did notice they offer online marketing as a service so I guess they wouldn't offer that if they didn't know how to build an audience which by the looks of it they do.
Cheers Seb, really helpful.

It's quite easy really. If you get a number of blog comments on EDU / High profile sites then that can affect your DA/PA quite dramatically. E.G - http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=techandscience.com
I'm not sure if Splashpress are a big company but they own a number of new media sites, so they definitely know what they're doing.

I wouldn't even worry about DA, MR etc. If there's an engaged audience that's similar to the audience you want to attract for your target site then I'd go for it.

You're welcome!
Looks like a good site to me. It's important to check the IP and neighbourhood as getting links from a site that's in a "bad" neighbourhood, ie with sites that are spammy or harmful, can sometimes be detrimental. Also, you would be able to check whether the webmaster has any other similar sites. This usually isn't a problem unless they are linking the sites all together (link-wheel), which is against the Google TOS.
There's a really useful tool that was in beta last time I checked that let's you check all this but the name has gone completely out of my head - it let's you check via IP, adsense account, email used to register the domain, affiliate IDs and more. If anyone can remember it, or if I do, I'll let you know!

Thanks Seb,
How would one manipulate DA/PA?
Is Splashpress media a big company? They have maybe 5-6 websites I know of which are all DA:Sweet, I have also noticed their social following on most of the sites are really good, so either they know what they are doing when it comes to online marketing or it's manipulated using something like 'twiends'.
Would all of Splashpress websites be worth getting on then?
Thanks again.
-
Absolutely. Taking a quick look at their backlink profile and the fact that they're part of the Splashpress Media network means that it's a high quality site. I agree with Tom that PR is outdated, although DA/PA can be quite easily manipulated as well.
The site is of a decent quality, most ads are below the fold rather than intrusive. It's a good find!
-
Thanks Tom,
So taking PR out of the equation, you think it's ok?
Do you know of any services which allow you to check sites on the same IP? How comes you think this check is necessary?
Thanks again Tom.
-
In all honesty, I'd completely ignore PR. It's a completely out-dated metric that you should not rely on for link prospecting.
All those other factors you mention, DA, PA, trust and social integration (think G+ authors) are far more important. To add to the list, I'd look at how many sites sit on that IP/neighbourhood and check that there isn't anything dodgy going on with any of them.
Forget PR and go with your gut!

Promoting several posts on FB increases the reach for all posts
My FB page has a reach for 3000-5000 views. I promoted several posts and got 40 000-60 000 views per promoted post. An interesting thing that now when I post on my FB page I got 5000-8000 reach without promoting? Have you similar experience?

Webmaster is showing hundreds of external links from 1 G+ post
A page on our site is registering as having 262 external links coming from two pages on Google+. The page it comes from is for posts related to #weddings, but I can't find the post with our link. Has anyone else experienced this? Linking page https://plus.google.com/app/basic/s/%23Wedding/related?cbp=17npa447ckmq3&sview=27&cid=5&soc-app=115&soc-platform=1&sri=0&spath=/app/basic/100121179959444544221/posts&sparm=cbp%3D16tcwubxsznm%26sview%3D27%26cid%3D5%26soc-app%3D115%26soc-platform%3D1%26stct%3DCAIQgJf0-fbDugIgCigB%26spath%3D/app/basic/stream%26sparm%3Dcbp%253Dm5w9s8yrkyhx%2526sview%253D27%2526cid%253D5%2526soc-app%253D115%2526soc-platform%253D1

Difference between Google+ Followers and Website +1's?
Very sorry if this has been covered multiple times already… I can't find the answer anywhere… This is a basic question: Is there a difference between someone giving my website a +1 and being counted as a follower on my Google+ page? I run a website and a Google+ page for my brand, and these two things are linked. When someone clicks on the +1 button on my site, does that show up in the count that someone sees in the red box in the upper right corner of my Google+ page? And, when someone comes to my Google+ page and adds me to a circle, is that the same as them clicking the +1 button on my site? Or are these two entirely different things? I feel like the terms are used interchangeably, but I'm not sure if it's because they really are two different things, or if they're really the same.I ask because, when I look at my company's Google+ page, it says "+300" in the upper right, but when I see my website come up in an AdWords ad, it says "[Company Name] has 240 followers on Google+"... Why are these numbers not the same?Thank you!Scott

Add pictures to website or Slideshare
For a law firm website looking to increase its traffic by offering pictures of cars that were in accidents, would it be more advantageous to add the pictures to the website directly (my inclination) or to Slideshare and put the embed code on the site? Also, we will have an abundance of pictures over time. How would you organize them on the site to maximize their SEO benefit? Have a picture landing page, then links to individual months from the landing page? Finally, assuming I go with a landing page with links to the months of the year (where that months pictures are stored), should each picture ultimately reside on its own page or is it sufficient to have all pictures for that month on one page?

How do website owners gain from facebook scams like this?
I've noticed two things that are going wild on Facebook this week: http://timhortonsgiveaway.me/ and http://promoforipads.net/ In the first scenario, you supposedly just click share and they'll send you a $25 Tim Horton's gift card. (For those who don't know Tim's it is a very popular coffee shop in Canada). There's no way this is happening...they claim to have something like 5000 cards to give away. In the second one they're apparently giving away 1000 ipods. Yeah...OK. So, they're obviously scams that are just trying to get a few zillion facebook shares. But why?
