In the middle of Link Building campaign! Do you think Dog Blogs are a good Idea?
-
Hello Again,
Here's I thing, my main website is my Digital Web Agency www.FenwayMedia.co.uk but I also hold good affinity with dog lovers on Facebook over 2100 friends and have a website www.Sepperro.com dedicated to my kennel of 9 racing Siberian huskies.
In return I would give them exposure to my dog mediums (articles, links etc.) My only slight concern was relevance. However my thinkning is that as a Digital Agency surely you would be expected to have links coming from all sorts of sources as you "may" have had some input into the development of their site/ marketing etc.
What do you guys think?
Thank you once again.
Kind Regards,
Craig

Yup,
Thats what I thought guys, I have been checking page rank and only targeting those between PR3-6. I also have a Siberian Huslky website because I have nine dogs, so instead of it being a two way link I am offering posts in my Husky site and links back from there coupled with advertising on my Facebook page which houses over 2,000 dog lovers. So I do most certainly want to give something back but it a way that will be most beneficial to the cause.
Thanks for looking.

You are right Craig, as a Digital Agency you should expect to get links from divers topics. As Ben mentioned this will be ok if it's part of a balanced link-building campaign. I would also make sure that they link back using different anchor text and perhaps to different pages on your site, not just the home page. Another thing to take into consideration is the strength of those blogs. Having a bunch of new links from PR 0 pages can look spammy and not have much value.

As part of a balanced campaign I don't see a problem with getting links from dog blogs.
In your shoes I'd make sure I had other more relevant links as well but if the dog blogs are easy enough to get and you just want a few links then go for it.

Does it make sense to have multiple campaigns for one website?
I'm new to SEO and SEOMoz. While setting up my campaigns, I was a bit confused. Do I need to setup separate campaigns for different pages of my site? For example, I run a proofreading service: www.kibin.com I obviously want to track keyword on the main page (like proofreading service), however, I also want to track keywords (like 'essay editing') on www.kibin.com/essay-editing Should these be two separate campaigns or do I just put all the keywords into one campaign for kibin.com? Thanks!

Difference between Webmaster and SEOMoz back-link stats?
Hi there, I just noticed that there are differences between the links to my site showing on my Google Webmaster account and what is showing on my link analysis on SEOMoz. Has anyone noticed this? In webmaster I am showing 857 links to my site from 92 different domains. In SEOMoz I am showing 816 links to my site from 53 total linking root domains and only 39 followed domains? Does anyone know why this there is a difference? Are the links showing in Webmaster all indexed and followed links? Thanks in advance 🙂 Karl

Only 2 internal links in OpenSite Explorer?
In Open Site Explorer´s tab Full list of Metrics I get for the Page Specific Metrics only 2 Internal Followd Links for one of my websites domain URL. I have checked this metric for other websites and I get some surprising results. Most of the websites get an amount which seems logical take the size of the site into account. But there are a couple of sites more for which I get very low results like only 1 or 2 Internal Followed Links! This is strange because the sites do have at least more than a 100 internal pages which are all linking back to the domain and are indexed in Google. I have checked if there is something strange with the robots.txt or htaccess but I havent found anything. So I wonder if this a failure in Open Site Explorer or can there be any other explanation? Anybody with similar experience? aNp83
