301 redirect of PR 6 domain to PR 1 site, Will it improve my site's seo?
-
I have a pagerank 1 website but i recently purchased one old pagerank 6 domain, if I 301 redirect this pr6 domain to my currrent pr1 site, will it will increase my site's pr and improve seo ?
-
not for PageRank, because as I stated, page rank is only links, but for relevancy yes, it wont be relevant.
You could also be importing problems with the domain along wit the PR,
-
It shouldn't be though it may confuse search engines as to what your site is about and its locality but its minor. You will loose PR but its not the end of the world, create a great site and it will come back just don't make the site for just the PR alone.

domain had thai language website but i want to build a english site on it but niche will same i.e technology , will that be a problem?
-
I want to make new site previous domain had a different language will that be a problem?
-
since the sites structure will be different, you are probably only going to get PR from links to the home page.
PageRank is passed by links, so any links pointing to the PR6 domain can now point to your domain. But there is more than page rank, there is relevancy. If the PR6 domain was about cats, they the link text and linking pages are probably about cats, if your site is about cars then you wont get any relevancy.
as for the mentions of link building, as I stated above, PR is simple links, the PR6 domain much have a lot of good links already.
-
it's difficult technically yes it could work but at the same time if you change the site the pr is for the old site so you would have a drop in rankings as your creating a new site and some of the links would be lost etc.
The best advice is if the pr6 site is a domain you want like your brand then go a ahead create the site make it awesome but don't worry too much about creating a site on the pr6 site thinking its going to give you a giant boost especially if its unrelated to your niche. As Silk pointed out an aged domain can help but in the larger picture good content works best.
End of the day its up to you i recommend taking a look at all of your options and going with the one that benefits you and most importantly your users the most.
-
What about using this pr6 domain to build a new site ?
-
Just for some additional resource might want to check out - http://moz.com/blog/save-your-website-with-redirects
Also Google's aware of a black hat method of just buying domains and 301ing them to your main site - its not as simple so be careful of assuming it will work.
-
No problem, glad I could help.
-
Ok thank you very much for your valuable comments
-
Speaking broadly I would say yes, if the niche is the same. Particularly if the domain is aged rather than new.
-
Last question if i build a new site on that pr6 domain + new backlinKs will it be more beneficial?
-
Yes, and getting your on-site SEO is very, very important too. I sometimes see much better results by modifying landing pages than "building" links.
-
Other methods means link building?
-
It will improve your Pagerank - but not to a PR 6.
It will only benefit your SEO if you are applying other methods and the site is domains are relevant to each other.

Someone's been spamming my client...
Hi all Bit of a strange one....doing a backlink analysis for my client's website (a handmade oak furniture supplier) and noticed there are about 13,000 spam backlinks to the domain from dozens of websites for keywords related to replica watches. Odd! Obviously neither us nor them have made these backlinks. Would a disavow be enough action to take in this case? I would rather the client not see a penalty in WMT for spam backlinks for this. Not sure how, or why, we have acquired this links. I can only think someone has been trying to do a spot of negative seo against the site Thanks Carl

Links from PRWeb press release violate Google's quality guidelines?
My site has had a manual action performed on it by Google indicating that I have inbound links that fall outside of their quality guidelines. I did my own research, found what I thought was the issue, had the links removed and requested reconsideration. Google's response surprised me in that they highlighted two specific pages with links that were the direct result of valid press releases and a publisher picking up our release off a wire service. Has anyone else seen this occur? Anyone had a case successfully reconsidered? I realize that I don't need to do anything at all as the manual action is in effect and will stay that way, discounting those links, but I would rather a) not have any manual action against my site and b) know for the future so this doesn't happen again. Also, is this applicable for guest blog posts, which effectively create the same type of backlinks? Thanks

Listly and SEO
We use listly quite a lot. A few of our lists get embedded in other sites. A lot of the embedded lists have links back to us. Is there any seo benefit on this, or will just one of the sites count ? Isn't this just duplicate content ? Wondering what your thoughts are.

Link from or 301 Domains?
I have 3 domains that are in the same niche as my main site and not connected in any way. Now my question is should I just link to my main site from each of them on a page that is relevant to my main Keywords or should I 301 them to the site? I am thinking that building a link to my main site would have more effect than 301's. Thanks in advance!

SEO companies
So prior to joining SEOmoz I have tried a few seo companies and had somewhat decent results. All of these companies did things like: directory submissions
Link Building | | shiftins
social bookmarking
social profiles
blog comments
article syndication
press release and so forth. These things that they were doing worked and improved the rankings of my websites in the serps. After some time and research I figured out that all this stuff was easy to do and that I could do these things myself. After joining SEOmoz I come to find that these types of links are not considered high quality because they are easy to acquire. Some of you may even say that they are the basis of a spammy link profile. My question is why would you not want to do these things if they work and all of your competition is using these strategies, including big name brand companies?0 -
Reseller seo
so i have a web design firm and, when i decided i need to offer seo services i originally went with an seo reseller company. i decided to try them out on myself so i gave them 4 keywords to rank for and tried them for about 6 months. when they started, our website was in google oblivion for those 4 keywords. after 6 months some keywords are on page 1 and some at the top of page 2. the ones on page 1 are the ones i also optimized for by putting the keyword in a footer link in all my clients' sites. when i look over what they did they either wrote cheesy articles that link back to me and posted them in random places or they commented on people's blogs linking back to me. but it seemed to work. at least to get me from oblivion to page 2. now it seems to me these methods are discouraged here but they seem to do at least some good. any thoughts or comments on this?
