Adding a link section - good or bad?
-
Hi all,
I am currently thinking about adding a link section to my site. In 2010 I released a new version of the site, where one of the main differences to the old site was that a link section was left out.
Now i see in webmaster tools that a lot of old links are still indexed but has a 500 error.
My question is:
1. Will my site in general benefit from having a link sections with relevant links for the users - in terms of SEO?
2. Will my site benefit from creating a link section and having all the old link section URLs in google redirected to the new section?
Best regards,
Rasmus

Thank you. I have done so. No need to not get the juice

Then somewhere on the web, there is a link to that page, i would 301 it to a relevant page

I mean that in webmaster tools Google has some links lige http://www.betxpert.com/links/football.asp which a URL from the old site. There are a lot of these registeret with an 500 error in GWT.
The link section would be a collection of good links for sports bettors. Partner links, interesting statistical links. Not a whole lot of crappy links
You say to be careful? Why and how?

If the links are in google results, then they must still exist.
or do you mean there are still links to your links page?
if they are internal links that is fine, if they are external links, you should be carefull how and who you links to

Does social media presence + inbound links outweigh bad SEO?
Some of our competitors have SEO errors in the thousands, yet rank much higher than us for keywords that we're targeting. The SEO errors are duplicate content, titles, and 404 errors. We've successfully nailed down much of our SEO issues to a bare minimum, although not eliminated them completely, so we're at a loss as to why we aren't gaining much ground. From what we can tell, the difference between us and them is they have a large amount of inbound links to their site plus popular social media presence. Can it be inferred from this that an active social media presence and large inbound link count outweigh bad SEO practices? What else should we be looking for to help pinpoint why we're not gaining rank with the keywords we're targeting?

Blog Commenting good or bad?
I spend a good amount of time on SEO forums and I found a thread about building links within comments.. I personally don't see how putting my keyword in my name place and linking it to my site will benefit me, I feel like google is already on to this and no one is going to click on it. Is this a waste of time?

External link
Hi guys! You must get many questions about external links... This is mine. If I get an external link with good authority ranking in google, but it is not relevant to the site (for example, my site is about marquees, but we could get links from schools, which are our main clients, or any type of client) Does that affect negatively somehow to the rankings? or there is good value on it even is not related? Thanks! Adriana
