Article Directory Page Rank 7
-
Hi Guys,
Would I be correct in my assumption that if I submitted articles to this directory: www . thefreelibrary.com I would recieve a link back to my site of PR7. Could this be correct?
Any help with this and any information on Article Directories worth submitting in would be great.
Thank for looking,
Craig

Everyone is now doing article marketing (guest posting etc) so for sure at some point in the near future those type of links will be a no-no like forum signature that back in 2004-2005 were the hot subject of everyone in SEO - publicly that is - not as a dark tactique.
So if it's easy to post it there then go for it - but if this link will requaire a lot of "resources" then you should think about it.
More then that you won't get a PR 7 link there. You will get a PR 0 in the beginning. Your page could get some weight in time but for sure it won't get to PR 7.
Domain authority however matters so there is a plus there. You should however consider first the page that holds the link as far as power not the domain. (the domain as an additional factor but for sure not as a primary factor).
my 2c.

Craig,
It's also important to point out that the PR 7 is the page rank of the domain not an actual page. Since your articles will probably be new pages, these pages will begin with a PR of 0 on a domain with a pr of 7.
Also remember that Google is counting less and less article sites, so you do take the chance of being hit by Google or having these links discontinued in the future.

If you install that toolbar, you can check to see if links are follow or no follow.
Social Media is correct. I never checked the site, but the links are marked as No-follow so it wont help with your rankings..
If you are wanting to publish an article, I would suggest rather asking a webmaster in your niche to publish it on there website in the form of a guest post.
Do some research here for info on guest posting. Once you have a good understanding, type this in Google for guest posting opportunities.
"Keyword"+“Guest bloggers wanted” OR “guest blogger wanted”

If you are using chrome right click on the link and select inspect element.

How can you tell?

Hi Greg,
Thanks for that. Is there a way of telling, because I could not quite establish if the link was follow or nofollow and where and how would you recommend creating the back links to the article?
Thanks Again.
C.

Yes but you would get a "no follow" link back to your site..

Hi Craig
Simply put, yes you will get the "trust" signal by getting a link on that website.
However, because the page you create has very little authority, there is very little "link juice" that passes onto your website (The stronger the page, the more ranking power you receive)
Get the best of both.. Publish the article, and then build a few back links to your article. This will improve the article pages Authority (page rank) and will in tern filter it into your website..
Just make sure the article is not specifically about the products you sell or it may outrank your website when you promote the article

Keyword Ranking History Chart
The attached image shows the Keyword Ranking History with big downward spirals on Aug 27 and Sep 24th. Yet it's also showing up within the #10-#20 row. What is the official technical reason for why it's in both places? My boss is asking and I'm blanking. 🙂 Just that the URL was found in both spots? B69toK9

Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -
Cities in Keywords Ranking Reports
So I've been in the habit of creating a master list of keywords concatenated with the city name so I can track my local rankings versus competitors. 1. Is this the correct thing to do to help hone in on who competitive my sites are ranking in the local market? 2. If so, by doing this the On Page reports seem to be totally screwed, because the searches I'm tracking (with city) vs the keywords I want to analyse for on-page ranking (without city), are different. What is the solution?

SEOmoz Rank tracking
I think this tool is a bit off : ) This morning I checked my ranking for a keyword and every time I recheck it I see my results in a different place. I checked on word 5 times and got three different results. Is Google brocken or is the tracker doing its own thing? This is not the first time I am seeing this issue only today its really acting up. IMHO I think it would be best if the tool just says out of order 🙂 rather than 3, 10, 6 for one keyword phrase within ten minutes...

Seomoz crawling filtered pages
Hi, I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics. Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled? /product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC

Keyword ranking tool
Hello, What is best practice for knowing if a keyword is too difficult to try to rank for. i understand the keyword difficulty tool in seoMOZ, but am unsure of how it actually relates to if I should attempt to rank for the keyword. Is there a differential people use such as if a site has a Page Authority of 60 we will not try to rank for a keyword that has a keyword difficulty ranking of 40?
