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.

Which number is important for backlinks?
I'm getting very confused. What is the important number regarding backlinks to my site? The Moz number vs. Hubspot grader spits out vastly different numbers. For the particular site I'm trying to improve, I don't have Webmaster Tools installed yet (waiting for webmaster to do as it doesn't have asynchronous code on it). Also apologies for novice question but I remember once being told that offpage SEO and specifically the amount of external backlinks is responsible for 75% of your SERP. Is that still the case?

Article Backlinks To Product Pages
I am writing a number of 500 word articles and have read that Top 10 lists are becoming more and more popular on the web. So my thoughts are to write an article about the the 'Top 10 Mens Grooming Products 2013' for example. My questions is - do I post this article on my own website with the 10 links to the product pages using the product name as 'anchor text', or post the article to somewhere like Squidoo containing the links to my product pages. Which strategy has more SEO value?

Is it Better to Link to an Article or Post it on my Site?
I have a client who has a few articles written about her and posted on different news-related sites. She has asked me to capture these articles (we have permission) and create a section on her site for them. My question is this... From an SEO standpoint, would it be better to link _to the _articles, post them on her site or both? Or, maybe there's an even better way I'm not thinking of. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kirk

Where do I find the best link building company?
Hi there, I'm trying to find an ethical, honest, link building company. We don't want links on shady forums, or comment spam, or any of that black hat nastyness!. I want links, on proper sites, and I'm prepared to pay for them accordingly. We're also more than happy to write/have written/ quality content that can be linked to. (We already pump out about 15 x 400+ word, optimised blogs weeks) We spend hours on the various social media sites also. So I think the only thing we're really missing now, is decent backlinks and possibly some more long tail keywords... Over to you guys. Paul.
