Quick Question - Backlink From Penguin
-
should we get backlink from penguin hit website ?

WOW $1000 a link from a PR3 site is quite expensive, you can buy a few blog sites with PR3 for that amount or a PR4/5 domain name. The best links that you can get are the natural links by writing great, useful and interesting content. It will take longer of course to get the natural links vs the paid links but in my opinion they are far more valuable. Also with that $1000 I would invest into infographics, if you have someone create an interesting inforgraphic with useful data/information related to your business it could spread like wildfire and get you a good amount of natural links...

Thanks Igor I like your honesty...and thanks for taking time to do the research for me...I respect you.. and I will look more into the website in majestic SEO....I dont know why they were asking 1000$ to give us a backlink...duh!! cheers man u rock

To be honest with you, I'm not sure if you can check if a site has been hit or not by the penguin, maybe someone here with more experience can answer that question.
I did a little investigation on the http://www.interiorarcade.com/
Here is what I found, the domain age is 3 years old.
Google PR score is 3 (on the home page)
almost 14000 links from 140 root domains...
Digging deeper into OSE I saw that they quite a few links from a bunch of directories and link farms.
and VERY FEW links from related sites.
So I think there is a very good chance that they were hit by the PENGUIN. take a look at Majestic SEO they keep a history. I've never used it so I can say if PR is being tracked or not but if it is you can see if their PR dropped when penguin was released.

Probably not. From what I know if a site has been hit by the mean penguin it lost most if not all of it rankings, it might be in Google's little black book so in theory it might pass the negative rankings to your site. You should only get links from trusted sites that don't do any black SEO to get high rankings. Links are like people, well more like characteristics of people. Would you become friends with someone who is shady, will lie to you, might steal from you, etc... would you let them into your house??? I assume you would want to be friends with someone who respects you, will help you out when you need help, someone you can trust, etc... and would be welcomed in your house anytime. That's the way I think about links and whether I would want to have that link on my site.

Internal linking question
How important is internal linking from body content? If you have 500 words of content on each page is it good practise to try and get a few links in to other pages? Surely if you do this your pass more juice out of the page, which might lead to devaluing the page in the SE's.

Backlinking post penguin
Does anyone have any effective strategies about how to backlink for a new website. I'm just really cautious of this new penguin update and don't want to submit to too many directories or do anything that will get penalised, seen as the website is new.

Homepage vs specific page Backlink
Hello, I have a local business and have been working on getting backlinks for highly relevant keywords. I have keyword optimized pages (keyword in URL, title, H1, etc) but I have been sending backlinks to the homepage, as these keywords represent the core of what we offer. See example below: car repair car repair london auto repair auto repair london I have been sending backlinks (with the correct anchor text of course) to the homepage, am I better off sending them to the specific pages? One more thing: the SEOMOZ report talks about cannibalisation of keywords, where for example the page optimised for "car repair" links to "Car repair london". I have links to the optimised pages in a footer at the bottom of every single page on the website, is this bad practice? (considering SEOMOZ talks about cannibalisation? Should I do something else instead (or eliminate the footer links altogether?) I would appreciate your expert advice.
