Simple Open Site Explorer Question
-
Does domain and page authority as listed in the Open Site Explorer mean that that site is relevant (content subject wise) or is domain/page authority separate from relevance?
In other words, I'm less interested in getting an 81 domain authority link if it has nothing to do with my site's subject matter.
Could someone please explain? I haven't yet found the answer.
Thanks.

These 2 links are great resources. I'm actually going back over them.
Thanks again.

For item 4, anchor text, if you design URLs wisely you can get a decent link even if the site simply copy and pastes your link. The primary thing in that case is to avoid the "read more" and other anchor text.
Your questions are answered very thoroughly (and better then I possibly can) in these two links:

So what factors should I keep in mind when looking at links for link building for ecommerce:
-
DA/PA
-
Relevancy of content (whether the site has at least 1 section that is related in subject matter of my site)
-
Likelihood of being able to solicit a link
-
anchor text I could possibly get
-
If it's going to take adding content, how hard the content will be to make that will attract a link
Ryan, have I covered everything I should be thinking about here?
Thanks again, you are such a good resource.

I am not aware of any relevancy considerations within the OSE tool. I believe the tool merely acts based on the DA/PA of the page/site offering the link.

Question concerning a freelance article link
Hey fellow Mozzers,
Link Building | | MountainMedia
I was performing a link audit for a client and came across a link linking to a deep page for our client with the link being anchored to a targeted keyword. It's a freelance article that is well written and deals with our client's industry but indirectly. The page has no PR but decent PA and DA. My question is, is there the possibility that Penguin would consider it spammy? The link is located in the author tagline at the bottom of the article. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks!0 -
Blog posts with currently no links question
Hi, If a blog has 100's of quality blog posts all with PR 1-3 but has no internal linking going on, what kind of affect would it have if someone was to go through all the pages using mixed anchor text (where it fits) back to money pages. Would generating 100's of internal links from a blog in a matter of days cause problems / flag up to SE's. I'm guessing it would be best to stagger it over a long period of time. Cheers

Challenge: How to SEO a site with almost no content
Wondering what you all would recommend for SEO on this site: www.gudville.com Most of their content is behind a login. Basically there are 5 pages open to Google and to anyone without that login, and they are not open to doing it differently at this time. Once in, there will be a lot of sharing with Facebook friends that will include invitations to join them in their causes. Love to hear all your recommendations. Kathy

Are you careful about linking back to sites that link to you?
Suppose that a trusted website added you to their recommended links page. Do you worry that linking back to them from a page on your site will diminish the value of the original link?

When rebuilding a site, when should you start building links?
We are in the process of completely rebuilding our web presence. We went ahead and started a blog using Hubspot while we are redesigning everything and writing all new content. The new site will be live in early August. The question is when do we start making a big push with Linkbuilding? I am currently trying to promote the Blog but I'm wondering about linkbuilding for the rest of the site? Do we wait until the new site is live or do we start doing it now? The new site will be completely different from the old site?
