Hi All,
How you find out that how many links are low quality what are the area of consideration for finding the low quality link.
I have checked the Google webmasters for list of all site links. and finding out that few link have not found or have no PR, links from irrelevant theme.
Please tell me more about the low quality links.
Is disavow link helpful for removing those links from the website also?
Thanks

Hi there
That's a good start, but there are a number of other factors you should check as well. On-page elements for each link should be reviewed, such as whether or not the link is contextual or not, if it appears in a blogroll or footer and what the other outbound links on the page are pointing. If they're going to a whole mix of irrelevant sites, chances are your link is on a link-farm.
The SEOMoz metrics of Page Authority and Domain Authority are really helpful in determining if a link is low quality or not. There's no magic number here and every case is different, but you may want to start with something like: Anything below 15 for domain authority might be a low quality link.
I'm also a big fan of MajesticSEO's trust score and citation score. The higher these scores the better, so again any link under 10 for either score could be considered as low quality.
You can check all of these metrics, along with PR if that's your thing (though I wouldn't pay too much attention to it), with the NetPeak checker. It's free and lets you check URLs on bulk for a wide range of metrics. I'd definitely check that out.
You might also find this SEOMoz blog post helpful.
Hope this helps get you going.

Are the following considered bad links for Link Building.
I've been doing a lot of research lately on link building & I've read a lot about having a diverse amount of links. Social links, Blog links, comment links, footer links, No follow links, Directory links as well as links with Anchor text URL match, brand match, partial brand match, non-descriptive, and with keywords. But there is a lot of talk of removing those links that look like a site that's built just for link building purposes.... but Directories are basically built for link building are they not? I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they feel links from the following directories would be bad links. (Non-Paid) http://www.yoganza.com http://www.wkool.com http://www.wee-directory.com http://www.voicelet.com www.hotfrog.ca http://www.webdirectorieslist.com http://multiplelistingboard.com http://mozdirectory.net http://freedirectorypr.info Industry specific below: http://bestautolinks .com http://automotivedome.com http://automobilebuzz.com http://craigsautolinks.com Thanks so much for the help!

Two link building proposals, which one is better?
Hi there, Our site has a DA of 73, MozRank 5.40, MozTrust 5.88, and over 45,000 external links. We haven't done any offsite SEO before, we got to where we are today organically. We're thinking about hiring a link building firm to help increase our rankings and we've received two proposals. Firm A offered to build us 30 links from DA 50+ sites over 3 months. The anchor text will most likely just be our domain name. Firm B offered to build us 90 links from PR2+ sites over 3 months. They have control over the anchor text. Given our site's profile, which proposal makes more sense for us? Would either of these initiatives move the needle for us? Thanks.

Linking articles to each other
I've been using white-hat article marketing to post original content about my niche to credible article directories (yes, I realize many of them were recently devalued). My question is: Is it a good or bad idea to have future articles link to older articles, as a way to increase the chances of having the older articles indexed, or increasing the amount of link juice they pass to my site (since they point to my site)? I get 2 links per article and was thinking of using 1 to point to a prior (related) article, and the other to point to my site.
