Extracting contact info from a website
-
I saw a great link building article on this website a few months ago about finding competitors back links and using a program to find the contact info located in those back links. Can anyone point me to that article, or even the program that is used to get this contact info?
Thanks!

I don't recall the article off-hand, but we did recently have a post with a good argument against scraping contact info in advance. If you look at the third point at http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/5-pro-link-building-tips-to-improve-scalability you'll see why the author argues for getting the contact info right when you do the outreach.
As the owner of a niche site for an RC hobby, I get a lot of unsolicited emails regarding SEO services and selling of products where it's obvious that the sender has just harvested my email and has not really looked at my site. Trust me, you'll go a lot further if you actually look at the site and hand-gather the info.

thanks, but this program I read about, on this site, was free

Scrapebox apparently has the capability to find contact details off a page, but I've never tested it.

What happens to your domain authority if you are forced to change your website name?
Out of curiosity if for legal reason you or a client were forced to change their domain name, what happens to all of your domain authority once you lose the old domain? While you still own the domain you can easily redirect any old links to your new website, but what happens if you no longer own that domain and someone else purchases it? Do they steal all of your domain authority? Or is it possible to keep those old links pointing toward your website?

How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.
So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

Link from an app to a website?
I know someone who has a phone app and wants to put a link to my website in the app. Are there any SEO benefits from this at all or would it only be good for generating traffic?
