Linking Back
-
Hello,
I have a blog www.digitaldiscovery.eu and I have been working the link building.
Now I have a few links pointing into my blog and in Google Webmaster and in Open Site Explorer I can see the URL of those websites.
In scale from 1 to 10 how usefull is to have a blogroll in my blog pointing back to those high PR links?
How usefull is this in link-building strategy?
Tks in advance!

Just so I'm understanding correctly, you're asking about linking to the sites that are already linking to you? If so, there's no added SEO benefit of linking to them because they're already linking to you. If anything, it could be harmful as too many reciprocal links can be bad for SEO.
As a general rule, I'd say just link out to anything that's worthwhile to link to. Like Keith, I'm not a huge fan of blog rolls, either. Instead, you could just link out from a content page in a context that makes sense.

I couldn't have said that better James! Far too many SEO's refuse to link out at all and are missing out on the benefits!

It is advisable to link out to high quality related sites where possible.
Also link out to websites within the content as said about it can be more effective than linking out via a blogroll.
Hope this helps.

Not all will agree on this, but I say linking out is good. But not because they link to you, if you aren't careful it will look like link exchanges.
I look at it this way, if the content I link to is relevant to mine, authoritative, and will help the reader, then it is good for SEO. Period.
Personally, I don't like blogrolls, I think they are distractive to the reader. I would prefer to link to other content from within my content.
Hope this helps....

Links Not Detected by MOZ, AHREFS, GSC-ARE THESE QUALITY LINKS?
Our SEO provider has been creating content (6 blog posts per month as well as building page write ups) and has been promoting that content. Several links per month have been created as a result of this effort. Many of the links have been from commercial real estate publications. I am concerned that the quality of these links is not high enough to improve our ranking. Most links do not appear on AHREFS, Google Search Console or MOZ. Is this a red flag that these links are weak? Ranking and traffic on the site have improved considerably since this provider began the project in April of 2019. They have been writing about 30 pages about New York City. commercial buildings each month in addition to 4 short blog posts and 2 extremely well researched and authoritative blog posts. My concern is that the links are not of sufficient quality to result increased ranking. That the improvement in ranking is solely due to the addition of new content rather than the creation of these links. Basically, that I am incurring the cost on an ongoing basis of an link building campaign with little to no benefit. That being the case, I would shift resources to content creation and increase and improve content rather than develop links with little value. A sample of links are below: Would greatly appreciate some feedback as to whether these are in fact helpful to the domain authority, reputation and ranking of our website. Thanks,

If I use links intag instead of "ahref" tag can Google read links inside div tag?
Hi All, Need a suggestion on it. For buttons, I am using links in tag instead of "ahref". Do you know that can Google read links inside "div" tag? Does it pass rank juice? It will be great if you can provide any reference if possible.

What link would be better?
Hi Guys, Just wondering what would be better in this instance: finding an old post (with good authority) and getting a link from that old article or creating a brand new article and adding the link to that. Finding an old post (with good authority) and getting a link from that old article Creating a brand new article and adding the link to that. Both naturally link out to the page you want a link too. To me, number 1 as the page already has authority but then again number 2 since Google might place some weight to recency. Any thoughts? Cheers.

Link masking in WordPress
in Wordpress, I want to block Google from crawling my site using the primary navigation. I want to use anchor text links in the body and custom menus in the sidebar to make maximum benefit of the "first link counts" rule. In short, I want to obfuscate all of the links in my primary navigation without using the dreaded nofollow. I do not want to block other links to the pages - body text, custom menus, etc. . This would be site wide. I'd rather not use Ajax or any type of programming unless it's part of a plugin. Can anyone make a simple, Google-friendly suggestion?

How should I handle these links?
I recently purchased a site which is in the same niche as my personal blog. MANY of the keywords which I want both sites to rank for, they are already ranking well for (Eg I rank #1 with one site and #5 for the other). I haven't started linking the two sites to each other yet (waiting to announce the acquisition before I do). I have 2 questions for you all... How powerful do you think linking between these sites could be? How do you think I should handle the linking between these two sites?
