Can you recommend a link builder from the Moz list?
-
Does anyone have any experience with some link building companies on the Moz recommended list? There are a lot of them on there so I would like to hear from you if you have used them and what type of results you got.
Thanks

And that you get a list of links they built. If they're on the Moz recommended list, they should be the type of company that does that, but it's just a general note. You want to be wary of the ones who say they're giving away secrets by telling you the links they've made.

It depends on what you need. Some companies will have more experience in certain niches and be able to turn-key the linkbuilding since they know all the sites where you need to be. Others may be better in your local market since they will already know any local listings where you can get links and likely have contacts at the local newspapers and magazines as well. Just make sure the company has a strategy that they can explain to you before you start.

Thanks Cyrus.
I was hoping the community would have a little more experience with link builders on the preferred list, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Here's the list in question: http://moz.com/community/recommended#link-building
Let's put it this way: based on my experience with the companies on this list, there are very few I wouldn't recommend as a link building partner.
Obviously, some companies are more specialized than others. Some companies specialize in link building, while others offer it as part of a larger, integrative service.
It's a good bet if the agency has a dedicated service page that describes their link building process in any sort of detail, that it's something they specialize in. Cost is another consideration, and most companies should be upfront with you about this.
-
So you don't think a single Moz preferred partner is any good at link building?
-
You probably would have a better bet doing the linking yourself. Chances are if they're specifically in link building they won't get many quality sites and will be more harmful than good.

Can 302's Negate Spam Link Profile?
To make a long story short, the previous SEO company we hired spammed us on LOTS of crappy links, many of which are still indexed. We're currently in the act of removing these links before we receive a manual spam penalty/notification + building new, stronger links to balance out our profile. While most of these garbage links were sent to our homepage, many are linking our Services page (and a bunch to our .com/sitemap.html for some reason, lol). Now we're in the midst of updating our entire website and the permalinks are going to change. While I'd normally 301 our old links to the new ones, Id rather not bring the horrible link profile with it if at all possible. Would a simple 302 redirect effectively dodge the bad juju from these spam links to our Services page since they pass 0 juice? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Which Links to Disavow!
We just took over SEO for a new client who is being penalized for a bad link profile. They've asked Google to reconsider multiple times, and Google still claims that the links are bad. Because of this, and because I don't have direct access (logins, etc.) to what the former SEO did, I am considering using the disavow links tool. The most obvious links to disavow are a group of almost 1000 links that come from the same forum. However, when viewing the links on this forum they actually seem natural. People are reviewing the product (ipod cases), both negatively and positively. While this could have been an SEO tactic for link building, I don't want to disavow these links if they're not the problem, even though this domain is the source of almost all the low-quality links. Another site that has more than 200 links is Askives. Do any of you have experience with links from Askives, or removing these links? Thanks again!

Is it a reciprocal Link ?
Hi, I found a great website and tought its content would be extremely interesting for our clients. I wrote about it on my blog (which has an URL with our website URL in it) , Facebook Page and even in Twitter. Meanwhile, I contacted them and offered to write an article about an interesting subject for them. They accepted and liked it so much that they decided to put 2 links for us on two of their pages. My questions are : Will this be a reciprocal link for Google? Did I make a mistake talking about them on my blog ? Did I «devaluate» the links they gave us?

Does the ratio of external nofollow links to external "do follow" links matter in terms of SERPs ranking?
My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1 That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links. I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs. I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio. Am I correct about that? Thanks,

Link Directories
Hi there, We're very shortly launching a new website so as part of our link strategy we will be linking to directories found with the Link Acquisition Assistant for various keyword searches. I was wondering at what point is it not worthwhile submitting to these directories with regards PA and DA? For example if a directory has a domain authority of 69 but the page authority for the keyword in question is only 1, would it be a waste of time? Cheers
