Alexa: is it worth paying for their subscription
-
For $9.99 you get an improved site listing i.e. logo and 2 direct links to your website? Are these links valuable from and SEO point of view? Has anyone taken out a subscription for this reason, even though they could be construed as paid links?
Many thanks, Peter

hi aspirant,
im using alexa for almost 2 years, as a free member but i noticed that my links don't count as much the other sites, here i want to know the experience.
So i was thinking that if pay for them then they would optimize my site view more and i think the number of links that could be counted by alexa can increase.
i mean Alexa are private company and there crawling for paid members should be better results and faster to achieve the results
you want => higher ranking on Alexa + higher number of backlinks counted by Alexa = higher ranking for Google
because there is sites they have thousands of backlinks with Alexa , i mean how is that.
so im going to pay for alexa this months and see if they will count my other links .
ill post back after i get the results.

Surely the links are no-follow?. I personally don't know anyone at all that pays for Alexa. Also, Is it 9.99 one time or per month?
Thanks

Worth paying for directory listings?
I'm going through the recommended SEO directory list but I notice that most of them are paid listings. I have been told that it is not worth spending any money on this, so why are there so many recommended in this list?

Eric Ward's urlwire.com - worth a $500 investment?
I'm after a turbo boost (direct and indirect) to my site's SERPs. How beneficial is URLwire.com? Anyone here used it? Worth $495? Given that Matt Cutts has said links from PR sites don't pass link pop, would URLwire fall into this category? (I'm aware the idea is also to generate backlinks from other referring sites). Thanks

Backlinks from Trade Website - Are they worth it?
Hi I am doing some linking building for a niche and slightly dull industry. I have found that trade magazine want a lot of money to publish press releases with back links.

BOTW.Org - Worth It?
I noticed that BOTW.org has gone from a historic PR6 to a PR4 currently. They also have gone up significantly in price for $69 or so to $149 annually or $299 one-time fee. This is quite high and with PR4 now, I'm not sure if it's really worth submitting to for this price. Agree / Disagree? If you like this post, please help & give me a Big Thumbs Up!

Is bold text anchor link worth the higher price tag in directory listing?
Does it make a difference with Google if anchor link text is bold? The niche directory is offering regular lifetime listing for $199 (actual page pr 6) or bold for $349 (same page, same position). Also bold link has option of including email address. Does email address have any effect on SEO? Seems like a bad deal for bold, isn't it?

Is using a tool such as My Blog Guest worth it?
I saw the post http://www.seomoz.org/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services and saw that MyBlogGuest seems like a good link building service, so I signed up. It really is confusing though, it almost makes me think I have to install WP Blogs on my sites which primarily run in Joomla, so linking directly to the blog is not an option. Okay, fine, so I'll just skip the part about putting in offers on other people's posts. I really signed up for the link building part of it anyways. So, now, I just write content in the site-used article generator? Then, go in and offer it manually to people? Doesn't really strike me as some super powerful method of linkbuilding, but there's a good chance I'm missing something. If this is the case, I'd assume I'd have to write content that is relevant to the site that I am trying to build links for, and then place links back to that site, so basically I want my posts on competitors sites and that will help out with backlinks and authority? It's really confusing. I just want to have my content writer write good content and get links from it, and this method just confuses me. I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who has used that service or can recommend something easier or better.

Sitewide VS Editorial page, wich one is worth the most?
Hello fellow SEOMozzers, For a long time I've been wondering what would give the most SEO benefits for a keyword based query between these : 1. A sitewide footer link on SiteA with keyword anchor text to SiteB homepage 2. A sitewide footer link on SiteA with brand name to SiteB homepage 3. A single link on SiteA homepage to SiteB homepage 4. An editorial page on SiteA about SiteB with links to homepage and deep pages Did someone ever did that kind of experiments? Is anyone having better results with one kind of link strategy? Best regards,
