What is the best backlink? Homepage or specific post?
-
I am working hard to get backlinks from other blogs by submitting deal tips. I am a deal blog so I am wondering - is it better to get a backlink to a specific post that will expire because it is a time sensitive deal or sale? Or is it better to get a backlink to my homepage? I focus on the best blog with PR of 7 and DA of 72 as well as others that are high up there.
In case I am not being clear, which backlink is better?
B. www.mysite.com/awesome-sale-of-the-day
Sometimes I won't have a choice but just wondering what I should focus on or if it even matters. Thanks!

Thanks!

Well they don't need to see my blog post to learn about the deal. The deal blog I gave the tip to will give all the info. They just give me credit at the very bottom. I won't get a lot of clicks but the backlink is what I want.
Big deal blogs post 20-30 deals a day. They do label things expired if it expires that same day. But otherwise it is just a given that the deals expire and redirecting pages and labeling everything as expired would just take way too long. And no one does that and I figure I should learn from what the best do.

Make it logical...if the referring blog says "awesome deal for x" make it as easy as possible for the user to find the deal and convert b/c ultimately a sale is better than a link.
I would also add that once the deal expires on that particular page you might want to either redirect the incoming traffic to a similar deal or change the language on the linked page to reflect that it is no longer live.

Spammy backlinks are working?!
Hello, fellow MOZers. I just read this article of this guy (not myself, I promise 🙂 ) I never heard before: http://stream-seo.com/churn-burn-backlinks-case-study/ According to him SUPER spam is actually helping, and, according to him again, google punguin didn't knock it down either. It looks and sounds all very shady and salesy for all those tools he is mentioning (actually, not just mentioning, but linking to). At the same it looks impressive if it's true. My thoughts are that it's falsified/buttered article, otherwise, if everything he says is true, we would see direct correlation between ranking position and number of backlinks (linking domains). I've been struggling to resist the temptation to try some spammy techniques to get backlinks to see what happens, but, at the same time, my brain says not to be an idiot.

Pros and Cons for Paying for Guest Posts?
While searching for outreach targets I came across a site that charges $100 to post your infographic with a review. I think this is similar to someone that says "Sure, I'll publish your guest post. First, please send me $100." I'm curious what others think about the practice of paying for guest posts? (It seems like it could easily be lumped in with paid links from Google's point of view).

Why Post Useless Blog Comments
I notice that I'm getting a lot of spammy blog comments on a personal interest site. Why would someone go to all that trouble to get a nofollow link that will most likely not be approved?

Quotations about importance of social media and backlinks
Hi all, I'm looking to put together a presentation on SEO and I'm wondering if anyone knows any good quotes that relate to the importance of having content on your site that people want to use and share. I'm looking for something like this: “Today’s marketing success comes from self-publishing Web content that people want to share. It’s not about gimmicks. It’s not about paying an agency to interrupt others.” David Meerman Scott “The New Rules of Marketing and PR” but ideally something that illustrates in terms of numbers how much more traffic and seo benefits a site can expect from having good guides, pdfs and news stories that people want to share. Thanks so much for any helo you can offer. thanks, David
