Are 36 links from one site to nested pages better than one link to the root domain?
-
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk.
The site is structured geographically with 36 area pages, one
page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor.I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa
63) where I can create area links to each of my area pages if I
wish.Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable? -
I currently have a home page with a "select your area" link to the area pages. Are you saying that it would be better to create 36 links form the directory site
Are you saying that it would be better to create 36 links pointing to the home page or make 36 links pointing to the individual area pages?

People don't mind "category" pages. You might find it better to have a button that says "Select Your Region" which leads to a page with the 36 links on it (and include a bit of text, so it's not just a page of links - good for users and search engines to develop relevance with). This will help with how your PR gets spread across your deeper pages.

Transferring inbound links to new domains
Hi, I've recently changed domains and have redirected all traffic from the old site to the new one. The problem is that none of my built links for the old domain are showing up for the new domain (I use moz.com/researchtools/ose/) I've read a few articles saying it's best practice to get in touch with the people that are linking to your old website to let them know the address has changed. When I search for my old domain using moz.com/researchtools/ose/ it says there is 0 established links. I know this isn't the case as I've visited one of the sites that does still list this domain. Is there a way of getting a list of my old domain's backlinks so I can contact them? I didn't make a list before redirecting. Thank you.

Submitting pages to google to expidite them finding links to my site
Is it a good practice to submit a page linking to my site to expedite google finding the link or is it better to wait for the google spider to find it? Thanks, Ron!

Inbound Links from Broken Pages
Hi all, We have a client who has a lot of inbound links from external pages that are broken/404. The 404 pages are EXTERNAL and linking to my client's pages, but their domain still has authority and their home page (and other pages) still load. My question is: what should we do about this? Do we detox those links, or are they still sending some juice given that they have domain authority, despite the fact that the pages linking to my client are broken? So in other words: - My client is: yyyy.com - They have a link from vvvv.com/services, which is a broken page - So what should we do about this? Thanks all! Gavin

Back linking: Relevance or Domain Authority?
For back linking, what is more important for increasing rank for organic searches on Google? I've noticed that linking on sites with high domain authority that have some or no relevance boost my keyword ranking. However, does back linking on relevant sites help if their domain authority is not so high?

When searching for high quality links, in a niche area such as real estate, does page rank factor into a search or is page / domain authority the most important factor?
After having employed many different methods for finding good link partners I am now finding it more difficult to reach out and identify good quality links for a niche area such as real estate. Does page rank factor into the search much or is it better to focus on page / domain authority as a major factor?
