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

Why did my rankings drop so fast?
Hi Mozzers, One of my clients have suffered from a sudden ranking loss that started beginning of August. A little background: My client is a big cleaning company that has many franchises nationwide and had very good rankings for the past few months. Generally the busiest time of the year is summer and the 4th quarter is the slowest. Organic Traffic generally drops by 5 to 10% between Q3 and Q4 of each year. 2 things have caught my attention while investigating these ranking losses The latest recent Update from the moz index evaluated the website's DA of 48 when in the summer we had a DA of 56. Never seen such a drop before!! My first question is how accurate is the moz index? How can I make sure this data is accurate? I am very surprised because we have been working hard on getting good quality links for the past year and a half. If the DA is accurate then that could explain the ranking loss Google updating its search engine to the Hummingbird version. Do you guys think this has anything to do with the drop in rankings? The content on the website is not the best but is fairly decent. I am still not sure how the ranking drop could be related to Hummingbird? I have also checked webmaster tools to see if I got hit somehow by penguin and it seems fine. Thanks mozzers

How does moztrust compare with google page rank?
I have a trial Seomoz membership. I've been comparing my site to some of the competitor websites and Im confused about the moztrust vs google page rank. For instance some of my competitors have higher moztrust but my site has a higher google page rank. Isn't moztrust meant to duplicate google pagerank?? Why would these vary so much?

Can I do a campaign for just a page?
We've been doing a lot of building and work on just one category page, but when i try to put it in the campaign it won't let me do any url that has a sub folder like www.mainsite.com/keyword-page. I can only do www.mainsite.com, and when i select the other campaign options like root domain or sub folder, roger pops up with an error. Is anyone else having this problem?

Exporting ranking stats; errors
previously, when I went to export the weekly rank stats, the csv opened into excel and everything was fine. This week, one campaign data will not export other than purely in comma deliniated and will not translate to colums in ecel. A second campaign does export directly to excel but the data showing (on 27th June) is for the 22 february (report created march 1). so all my spread sheets for position analysis are up the creek and I cant even get last weeks positional report on my key domain. any thoughts??
