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...

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.

Is there any Penalty for building in bound inks too quickly?
I was speaking with someone today who was spreading out their link building because they were afraid that getting too many too quickly would incur penalties from Google and Bing. Is this a real thing? I have always been under the impression that if they are high quality links and directories that there was no limit to how many you could add other than the limited availability of the high quality links and directories themselves. I would appreciate some input on this.

Pr4 domain backlink from a blog post
I'm about to do a guest blog post on a pr4 domain. Will I be getting an actual pr4 backlink? I'm thinking since it's technically not going to be on the homepage forever since it's just a blog post and also a blog post has it's on page once you click on it I'm not going to get a pr4 backlink. Correct?

What to do about bad backlinks hurting authority?
My site has many backlinks from 208.109.47.246/* and go.diaodou.com/* which have low authority. The 208.109.47.246 I believe is my godaddy IP and I don't know why I have the diadou links. Is there anything I can do about these links other than building other more reputable links? Could switching hosts or going to a dedicated IP solve the 208.109.47.246 issue? Here is a look at the links- http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.mueslifusion.com%252F/a!links Thanks,
