What do you think of these mozbar stats?
-
PA: 50 / mR: 5.39 / mT: 5.56 / DA: 41
Would you say from a website point of view these are ok stats and a guest post on here would be ok?

If the site is not relevant, I would do as Anthony suggests and try to spin it to be relevant. Yes, some links from non relevant will give positive effect, but remember: Most people want to do link building the easy way, if you do it the right way you will end up ahead of them.
The best written info on link building (that is still reasonably concise) is contained on this site. Here is the link: SEOmoz Article - Pro Guide to Link Building
Here is a good post on directories by Cyrus Shepherd: Conquer Link Directories
Again, Do it right for the long term. If you need a bit of immediate punch a few ??? links won't hurt you. Too many will. Also, try submitting to DMOZ and consider Yahoo Directory submission if it is that important for immediacy's sake.

As long as its related to your field, then yeah. I'd also take a look to see if a link from here will generate either reoccurring traffic or a sale. It gets monotonous when you link build without any benefits in the near future.
For example:
I received immediate traffic and achieved goals from a low quality blog with a lot of followers.

I would only shoot for a link or a guest blog post if you think the site is relevant. If you think that the website is a good one, and you can find a way to spin your guest blog post to make it relevant for that site and also tie in your link, go for it.

Cheers for reply.
I understand that the referring traffic would not find the site relevant in your example but would it still give some sort of benefit regarding link building?
Lets say my competition all have low scores regarding the mozbar (me included) so PA:12 / mR:3.49 / mT:3.29 / DA:17 would you say gaining links from guest blogging (even if the sites are not relevant) will still doing something?
-
If the only thing that you are looking at is this set of numbers or a Google PR, then, OK. I would give consideration to whether or not it is germane to what you are doing. If it is a guest post on a site for Happy Better Sex Gambling and your site is religious, it is probably not best. So, given the distance between those two examples, you have to decide what works in it for you.
Hope that helps.

Think I'm ready to do some link building. Couple questions.
Getting ready to do some link building. I've got several lists of competitors' links, including a bunch of sites with broken links that would be a great fit to link to us. I've got a capable VA to get started work on reaching out to people. Just curious if this is the right game plan, seems a little simple: For this round of link building I'm thinking all the links would point to my root domain. -Find quality sites/links to go after -Find an email to the owner/webmaster -Have the VA send them a value proposition email(i.e. why it's good fit for all)...or tell them about broken links etc. -Follow up myself when a response is generated. -Hope/verify they link to us. Thanks for the help with the newbie questions.

Do people think it is worth setting up a twylah.com page? Does it have value in adding link juice and content from our tweets?
I have seen the site www.twylah.com which produces a permanent page of your tweets for your fans or search engines to see. Has anyone experimented with this, and does it provide benefits, or is it just another distraction I should stear clear off. Any advice, thoughts or discussion appreciated.

Do you think my homepage can still be optimized ?
Hi all ! Do you think my homepage can still be optimized ? Here is the URL : http://www.proximeety.com Of course I'm not only speaking about the home page but I also think about the pages structure, links, etc. The fact is that my collegues and I are working hard on our SEO since 7 years and the result is that we still see our websites going down in the SERPS during months... What are we doing wrong ? Our opponents don't seem to be more backlinked or more optimized... I personnaly think that there should be a big mistake on our site that penalize us and our SEO but I can't find what it is... Can you help us ? Thank you in advance !

Do you think 3-way link exchanges help in keyword rank and overall PR authority?
I know traditional link exchanges aren't very valuable and Google doesn't respect them as much, but what about 3-way link exchanges?

Do you think it's a good idea to try to find synergy between clients for blog posts/citations/links, or should you keep clients away from each other?
Say you have for example three (in this case) clients, and: Client A sells red widgets Client B is a doctor Client C sellls blue widgets With some research, you find that: Red widgets (A) can make the process of blue widget creation (C) even more effective. Red widgets (A) can protect you from harmful things that doctors (B) are qualified to recommend that you stay away from. Furthermore, there are things that doctors (B) recommend that you do in order to maximize the benefits of red widgets (A) Blue widgets (C) carry with them certain potential health risks, which according to doctors (B) can be minimized using the following means Sometimes blue widgets (C) can be used to effectively repair red widget (A) factories ...and so forth. Sure you're really writing these articles to generate links and exchange authority, and frankly you started with "how can I find synergy between these clients?" rather than a with a great article subject that needed a citation which luckily happened to be another client, but the citations are legitimate and the clients are qualified to speak on the subjects where their expertise and interests overlap. Would you consider going ahead with this? Does anyone have any experience doing it? I could see potential pitfalls if clients were to interact with each other, but keeping yourself as the intermediary might well work and overall it seems like a decent way to grab low-hanging fruit as they say. What do you guys think?
