Simple Link Question
-
Hi Guys,
I will appreciate if you answer 1 small question.....
Will our site benefit from that link?
Valuable website related to our business ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on second site) ---link to our site --->Kind Regards,
webdeal -
+1 to what Doug said. A nofollow link can still drive a lot of value in the form of traffic. Looking for additional ways to turn that page into a linkable resource would probably be the best use of your time, rather than trying to figure out which specific links will have the most benefit.
-
Are there any opportunities here? Why does the valuable website link to the PDF doc? Can you provide a better (quality), more accessible (html) page that they'd link to instead of the PDF? Can you provide other content around the same topic that they'd be interested in? Do they ever use followed links in their content?
At the end of the day, it's still a nofollow link so the benefit will be minimal/insignificant unless you get direct referral traffic via that link,

All i meant..... better to have a link like
Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite
rather then...
Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> To mysite
Tell me if i am wrong...
-
What do you mean by "look much stronger."
Page rank domain trust will not change with a no follow

Hi Saijo,
based on your answer...
Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite
will look much stronger....Correct?
Thank you
Dmitriy

Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> Your Site
Assuming Site 1 is a high profile site the PDF will get some benefit out of that nofollow link and the link from the pdf will help your site. So in theory there is some small amount of indirect SEO value to be had there.

You will not get any thing from the link "link Juice is the common term"
Hope that helps,

HTTPS - implementation question
Hello, I am looking at a site on which they haven't 301'd http to https, so each URL is there whether you have http or https at the beginning. Why would a site owner not 301 to https? Is there any logical reason not to use 301? This particular website is simply using a canonical tag to point to the https version of each URL.

Google+ Page Question
Just started some work for a new client, I created a Google+ page and a connected YouTube page, then proceeded to claim a listing for them on google places for business which automatically created another Google+ page for the business listing. What do I do in this situation? Do I delete the YouTube page and Google+ page that I originally made and then recreate them using the Google+ page that was automatically created or do I just keep both pages going? If the latter is the case, do I use the same information to populate both pages and post the same content to both pages? That doesn't seem like it would be efficient or the right way to go about handling this but I could be wrong.

Information Architecture Question
I've got a site architecture / branding / SEO question for my own site (http://www.strikemodels.com/). In brief, the site sells kits and accessories for model warships that shoot and sink each other. My husband (Stephen) runs the business, and makes many of the parts we sell in our workshop/garage. Stephen wants to have a section where he talks about the equipment he is building/ using, and give updates on each of the pieces. This is equipment we use to make products, not equipment that we sell. For example, he's building an EDM machine, and getting a plastic injection molding machine and an ultrasonic welder up and running. We have a blog section where we post about updates about items that we sell, how to use our products, etc. This is more of a place for him to talk about what he's doing in the shop, and would also serve in future years as something he could point people to regarding his skills as an engineer if needed. I'm looking for opinions and options as to where to put this. Is there a way to use a different category in the blog and have items in the blog show up under a different page if they're in the "Stephen's Corner" category? Other options would be a separate site just for that, or to do threads on the a forum dedicated to the hobby. I'd prefer to keep things on our own site to keep all of the benefits together. Thoughts on structure or ways to make this work? Things I hadn't thought about? Thanks!

Internal linking between categories
Is it necessary to do internal links between the same categories of a website ( Let's say Ihave a category about shoes and in the category I have a page about boots and one about sandals ( should the page boots be accessible from the page sandals and the other way round or is the back button going back to the section shoes enough ) ? If internal links between the same category ( sandals to boots ) are needed/recommended is it also a good practice to do site wide links between categories ( shoes and and bags for example ) Because by reading google recommendations "Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link" I am not sure if they are talking about breadcrumbs or text links i am kind of lost ... Thank you,

Canonical URL Question
Hi Everyone I like to run this question by the community and get a second opinion on best practices for an issue that I ran into. I got two pages, Page A is the original page and Page B is the page with duplicate content. We already added** ="Page A**" />** to the duplicate content (Page B).** **Here is my question, since Page B is duplicate content and there is a link rel="canonical" added to it, would you put in the time to add meta tags and optimize the title of the page? Thanks in advance for all your help.**

Measurement of Link Value
Over the past few months I have encountered webmasters who claim to be using instruments far better than open site explorer but they will not disclose what they are. Are there better ways of determining the value of a link than OSE? Is "link juice" more important than page/domain authority where the link resides? Or vice-vesa. Any help understanding this would be appreciated. I do not want to offend other webmasters but I also do not want to be fooled by them either while negotiating a link exchange with them
