Which kind of backlink is best for SEO
-
After complete the jobs of keywords, it may worth to spend more time for building up more backlinks to enhance the SEO, so do you have any suggestion about which kind of backlink is best to build? as I know now, the backlinks are classified to be: 1. profile article, 2. book mark, 3. signature, 4. wiki article, 5. blog comment etc. I am very new for SEO, so it's welcome to give me any suggestion or comment for my opinion as above.
Thanks a lot!

In support of the above answers, here are some Matt Cutts videos/interview/other resources on those various types of links:

The best backlinks for SEO, in general, are the ones you don't control. If you place the link, it's not the best. Blog comments, not the best. Forum signature - not the best. Directories - not the best. Guest blogs - not the best. Earning links isn't always possible or attainable but if you're after the best, the best ones are placed on sites naturally by people who love what you're doing. Everything else is just waiting to be devalued.

Well I am only new myself but from what I know you want to stay away from blog comments and signatures. Quality articles are an option.
Of course your best links will come from genuine sources linking to your content but if you are going to source your own links as well I think quality articles on quality blogs is your best bet.

What is the best way to track our rank vs competitors?
I have 181 keywords that I have been asked to track rank on. So first I will track against our url then our competitors. With a 250 word limit will that count for every url I want to track? Is there any other way to do this than using rank tracker?

One Follow Link from each subdomain/domain best for SEO?
Hi there, we have a lot of customers linking to our homepage from a subdomain of our domain or from an external domain. From SEO point of view is it best that they all only have one DoFollow Link and the rest of the links are NoFollow? Or does this have no matter at all? The problem is that we have like 900.000 links but only from round about 1000 different root domains. If we put like half of the links on NoFollow our ratio of links/ different root domains gets better. Thanks for answering! Sebastian

Dilema in hiring SEO company services
Hi My question is one that most startups face. No large budgets for online SEO marketing and lack of quality SEO consultants willing to work for peanuts. To the point: 1. Where can I read reviews of SEO consultants before giving a contract? 2. Is it naieve to expect an SEO contract based on real ROI i.e. increase in qualified enquiries? All I spoke to over last 12 months refuse to commit, even in part, to this requirement. My take is what good is an SEO contract if all I get is loads of reports of work done? I do not have the capability to analyse the reports hence I employ someone! 3. I have SEOMoz pro memership. Can I do my SEO myself by using the tools in the dashboard? thanks to all for reading my post.
