What do you think of getting links from...

high quality sites, with many non spammy high trusted links to them....but their traffic has been majorly hit by panda. I suspect perhaps for having too many thin pages.

Is persuing links on these sites a good idea or not? I'd welcome opinions.

Thanks Ross..thats what i'm thinking too. As long as the site has a solid backlink profile themselves, they are still worth it.

Absolutely. There is no reason to believe that sites that were hit by Panda can no longer pass link juice.

External links cannot be found

HI, we have a relatively new website, and we know that there are a couple of external links to this site. But in Moz and in KWfinder, it says that there are no backlinks. We do not use robot.txt or noindex, and we have no clue how to make crawlers find the external links so that our DA will be enhanced. Anyone a solution? Marielle

Internal Links - First Link Rule Confusion

Hello All - I would like to create a guide for my team of rules for internal links and I could use some help. My understanding is that Google only counts the first link to a page, so any crafted keyword text links within the content do not count if the page in question is linked to from the main navigation. Is this correct? For example, if the menu or drop down menu in main site nav (which exists on all pages of the site) includes a link to a particular section that will be the only one that ever counts since the menu is on every page? Example: let's say a website selling cat toys includes a drop down menu on the homepage with links to "holiday cat toys". Does this mean that no other text links in content on the site will support that page from an SEO perspective since the link is in the main nav and will always be the first one counted? In the past we have added text links in the content on the homepage to important pages on the site. It seems to work, though now I'm questing these tactics based on the first link rule. I would appreciate some advice, clarification, thoughts, etc. Thanks!

Link Auditing

Anyone have any useful ways to link audit? I'm stuck picking up the slack from a previous worker who decided buying links was a great idea for our clients.

Linking between properties

I own 3 domains. One is my blog, one is my photography business site, and one is my graphic/web design site. They are all hosted on the same VPS account. I link between each site. Also, since the links are either in the nav, footer or sidebar, all pages from one page link to the homepage of each other. Is this an issue for SEO? Should I not be doing this? Would it be beneficial to use a no follow link instead if I'm to keep them?

How do I stop Spammy links?

I've just taken over a clients site, and they are clearly being penalized for theier previous agency having purchased from a link network. They have thousands of low value links. Once I have identified them, how do I stop them? Is there a code, or a blocker or something that I can use to reject the links? Thanks in advance guys.

Many competitor's backlinks are in content anchor links. Ho do I get these same links?

Hi I managed to open up OSE. I'm finding that much of the competition's backlinks are in content anchor text links. Am I supposed to get backlinks from these same pages using the same anchor text but linking back to my page or is that allowed? If so, how do I get these in content blog post links? Thanks. Sunil.
