SEO baklink tracking
-
Is there an easy way, through passing variables in a URL, to track the links from a specific blog post?
I am looking into using a query on the Google search that would return a list of the site that have been indexed that link using that specific query.
Thanks!

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're getting at. Could you give a little more of a use scenario please?

Google isn't too eager on showing information about links. For example, you could search in google using the 'link:' operand, but the list it will return is far from complete.
'link:www.seomoz.org' returns about 1700 results, but I think we all know they have a quite a few more than 1700 backlinks. Google Webmaster Tools isn't showing a complete overview either, but it's better than using the search engine.
I'd say the best you can do is keep a close watch on analytics and see where traffic is coming from.
Obviously you can use third party tools like opensiteexplorer.org and Majestic for tracking links to a website. Usually Google picks up on links way before they do (in my experience).
Good Luck!

Forum signature links and SEO
Regarding this article on forum signature links, is this good advice? http://searchtempo.com/forum-signature-links-and-seo/ Doesn't Google suggest a nofollow on these types of forum links? On a related matter, is it a good practice to add a Google Plus link in forum signatures? Best,

Will this Blog Tool hurt our SEO
Hi, We have come across this tool that we are considering using for some of our blog posts. We will still continue posting our own post blogs weekly, we will just use this if we come across anything interesting. Our concern is it will produce duplicate content from other sites. We are very new to blogging. https://home.passle.net/ Will this hurt our SEO? Will it improve it? Or will it make no difference? All thoughts welcomed please. Thanks Andrew

Geographical Relevance of Back links - Important for SEO?
If I have an AU domain, will Google give more weight to back links from other AU domains in the Australian search results, or will quality links from anywhere in the world count much the same? Intuitively, you would think that AU links would be more relevant for an AU site in the Australian SERPS and Google would therefore give these more weight, but are there any good articles/research/anecdotal accounts to show this? Thanks!

Does using "pring2web" hurt SEO?
I've never really seen this before but one of my clients has 4000+ links from Print2Web. Their rankings are falling back a bit but I'm wondering if this is part of the problem. They don't seem to say their service is about SEO so I'm not so sure this is counted as spam or not. The main concern is that the next closest number of links from one site is only 97. Has anyone heard of this service? Can someone tell me from experience if using this service has hurt SEO efforts? Thanks!

Will online PR with optimized anchor-text hurt my SEO efforts?
With Google's recent phishing expedition and increased focus on natural link profiles etc where does this leave PR distribution with optimized anchor-text? Using the pai for PR distribution services has always been a great way to build backlinks but I just wonder whether these will be considered over-optimised in future?
