Can I Boost Ranking Linking off Pages internallly?
-
My domain authority is relatively low, but my right now my homepage seems to have the highest rank. If I place a few internal page links on my homepage, would this boost ranking on internal pages? Or would it pull juice away from my homepage?
Using the Seomoz OSE I see alot of my competitors using this type of strategy linking internally. Also would using breadcrumb links benefit me in anyway?
Thanks very much!

"we are clobbering retailers in a very competitive space"
Which is always nice to do!

No link building or much in the way of external promotion either to skew things just 100% content.
This is exactly the case for the content that I described. This is an informative site but we are clobbering retailers in a very competitive space.

I have used a similar landing page technique with various content driven SEO jobs. Set up several articles for the long tail and get them doing what they can and then have a more authoritative page that links to the detail page and goes after the big root keywords.
I am currently doing a job in the team building niche and the keywords are all damn competitive yet this approach is slowly building in scale and scope and we are starting to see some results on the bigger terms. No link building or much in the way of external promotion either to skew things just 100% content.
So yeah, I will second that as being fairly solid, if not substantiated and if you handle the long tail versions of your keyword first you are working up towards the bigger and more difficult terms in a structured and manageable way.

I believe that one strategy to ranking well for a root keyword is to have separate and substantive pages for many different subtopics. Then the page for the root keyword summarizes each of these and links to the more substantive page for full information. I have a couple pages like this ranking well for very competitive terms and am surprised at their performance. These are really big pages with a few thousand words, a dozen images, data tables and more. However, I believe that the links hitting deeper substantive content are very helpful. (This is just opinion, based upon observation. Never heard anything from google to support this or a large text with controls.)

Hey, it may help a little bit, but if you have little in the way of link popularity then it is not going to rock your world. This can work better when you have a well linked page / post and then link out from that + as ever, the benefit is partially due to user clickthrough on a well ranked article.
You need some good solid content and to leverage that to get some good links to help take things outwards in scope and upwards in rank.

Low Page Authority for key landing pages
Hi guys - I am struggling to understand why I have a Page Authority of 1 (!) for most of my key product landing pages. All of them are linked to directly from the Homepage, which has PA 46 and DA 40. Many of them are also linked to from high ranking external sites. Less valuable pages on the site, with far fewer links, seem to have much higher PA. For some reason these just don't seem to be registering the link juice which is flowing to them. In fact, OSE doesn't seem to register any links for them - perhaps this is the biggest clue? I am at a bit of a loss. Some of these pages still rank highly for relevant keywords on Google. But something clearly isn't quite right. Has anyone experienced similar?

Why am I getting links in my link report from sites that no longer exist?
So, I have a link report from Link Detox. And I'm going through all of them and considering what sites need to be removed. and trying to find emails and contact webmasters. There is just one odd thing i'm starting to see more of. A lot of links are on websites or webpages that no longer exist. The link no longer exists. Some of the domains are even available for purchase. Why are these links showing on the backlink report and are they really harming my website? Also, do I need to add these links into the disavow document that I will submit to Google?

I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?
A blogger told me that "wordpress.com does not allow blogs to show advertisements or use links to sites that sell merchandise of any kind" is this true? Am i wasting my outreach time trying to get links from wordpress operated blogs?

Best way to structure a service area page with many locations to maximize internal links to them?
Currently our service area page (http://www.njlimocarservice.com/services.html) very sloppily lists many of the towns we serve in multiple counties - over 50 approx (scroll down). They have been placed that way so there is links to them from one of the subpages directly linked from the root domain. I am now attempting to make it pretty and organized with my designer. I intend to maintain a link to each individual town/landing page for SEO purposes to keep it close to root domain. My questions is how to best structure this. I don't want to list by county because some people don't know what county the town is in. However an alphabetical list may be overkill as there is so many. The other option is to get a search form or dropdown list on there but how will my landing pages be recognized by crawlers if there is no internal links from my root domain? Eventually we plan to expand further so what happens when we add 100+ landing pages? What will then happen to my internal link juice? Thanks!

Domain name holding pages link back, good or bad?
We are a web design and hosting company http://www.spiralsites.com But when we register domains for clients, or they take email only or a name is parked we have it using a holding page which can be seen as follows: http://www.jcevents.co.uk/ is this a good thing? Bad thing? Could it would it should it benefit our rankings? Should we do more to make it look less like our main site and actually try to use it better to help rank our other services pages?

"Links" page Value?
I was wondering, Is there any value in these days to advice clients to create LINK US or LINKS page with bunch of reciprocal links on it and solely for link exchange, I remember reading somewhere that, it is little useless in terms for ranking nowadays? Am I right? Thanks!
