Are site profile links from sites like Quantcast still a Google friendly quick win?
-
I heard one of the speakers from Link Love suggest getting an easy high PR link from Quantcast.by creating a site profile page. What is everyone's opinion on the value of this type of link when blended with other types of link building activity. Low, Moderate?
What is the best way to find these types of link profile opportunities? Any one have a good list?
-
Thanks for the background Oleg, Could someone jump in and let me know the best way to locate these types of high PR profile links - like Quantcast?
-
Used to be huge, pretty sure most of them have been discounted greatly. Case in point: Google ignores links from updowner (which is one of those whois/site stats sites). My guess is that they do the same for all of those types of sites.
But you have inspired me to run a test to see how effective they still are

Quick question on meetup.com links
I've been using open site explorer to assess my competitors inbound links. I filtered for "link equity" and returned these results. I noticed a link from meetup.com and investigated it further (a link on this page). As far as open site explorer is concerned this link is passing some value. That said, I noticed the link was actually posted as a comment on the meetup page. When I looked at the source it looked like this: [http://www.meetup.com/sfruby/members/82741532/](<a class=)" class="mem-photo-background-45 square-35 memberinfo-widget" data-memberid="82741532" title="Aleksandr Melentiev" style="display: block; background-image: url(http://img1.meetupstatic.com/501554713870081192606960/img/nobody_50.png);" data-src="http://img1.meetupstatic.com/501554713870081192606960/img/nobody_50.png">http://img1.meetupstatic.com/6297749526911517292/img/blank.gif" alt="Aleksandr Melentiev" /> [http://www.meetup.com/sfruby/members/82741532/](<a class=)" class="memberinfo-widget" data-memberid="82741532" title="Aleksandr Melentiev">Aleksandr Melentiev Hi. I am the creator of a similar tool - [http://bootcamper.io](<a class=)" title="http://bootcamper.io" target="_blank" class="linkified">http://bootcamper.io. Will do my best to attend this as well. Cheers. <a class="j-like-list tooltip-widget" data-key="reply-32914742-likes">1</a> · February 28 I don't see a nofollow attribute above but I do see the "linkified" class. Am I correct in assuming that this link is probably not passing value? Secondly, can meetup.com descriptions (as opposed to comments) contain follow links? Thanks in advance for your time in answering my noob question!

Is anybody else noticing a dramatic change to their 'links to your site' section in Google Webmaster Tools?
Hey,
Link Building | | ChrisHolgate
Over the last six months or so we've been going through our backlink profile and cleaning up links from poor quality sources. Week by week there have been small changes in our Google Webmaster Tools 'links to your site' section to reflect this. I logged on this morning however and there has been a dramatic shift in the information displayed. Pretty much every bad link has been removed from the list including sites I know for a fact are still linking to us as they didn't communicate at all to our removal requests. Additionally, rather than showing the top 1000 links to our site as it used to, WMT is only showing 73 linking domains. The remaining 73 domains are good natural links from high quality sources. I'm guessing Google are just in the middle of an update and that the remaining linking domains (including the bad ones) will reappear shortly. This isn’t a request for advice or help but I’m just curious as to whether anybody else is seeing anything similar?0 -
Multiple Links from High Ranking Site Vs. Links from Multiple Domains - What's More Important?
I understand it is important to get links from many quality domains. Currently, I do have links from top domains (PR, Trust) and it I can get more from (high rank) pages on these same domains. Would it be better to focus on expanding my reach (find additional domains to link from) or to continue to build links from the current domains I have a connection with? What is weighted more? I realize doing both is important, but trying to figure out how to best use my time. Thanks! David

Is there a software to help me check whether the sites that i give link to, also place my link on their site (reciprocal link)?
When i exchange links with others, i usually put their link on my site hoping that they'll do the same. Since it's impossible to check all sites whose link i have placed on my page to see if they have put a link back to me, i was wondering whether there is a kind of software to help me do that!

Do I get any link juice from a PHP header redirect from another site?
For example would: www.site-A.com/click-tracking.php?site=www.site-B.com contain any link juice? Would a 301 redirect be the simple solution?

Creative link building ideas for law sites
I have a client who does not actively participate in the content writing or resource providing part of optimization or link building. I want to build some more links to the site outside of content spreading and guest blogging. I have read a lot of the recent articles on creative ways to build links but feel that most would not apply to this kind of site. Any ideas on creative link building methods for a law services info site?

Are links from flash sites worth anything?
I'm building some links right now and spotted an opportunity with a voiceover artists that we used for a marketing video. He posted our testimonial on his site and I plan to ask him to provide a link back. Thing is -- his site is entirely composed of flash content. Does this matter at all? Will this link still count? Thanks!

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
