Should I work on links to a specific page or site in general?
-
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to have my page rank better for "sell my car Houston".
I'm about to start working on getting links to our site and my question is should I work on getting links to that specific page or would it be OK to just get links to the home page (same seo effect)?
Specific page: http://www.motorsonwheels.com/pages/sell-my-car-in-houston-tx
Home page: http://www.motorsonwheels.com
Thanks!

I would suggest building a very good balance of links between your homepage and the inner page(s). Do not just build links to one of your internal pages. For example, you could/should probably have some incoming links to your http://www.motorsonwheels.com/vehicles / Inventory page as well. Similar, any other pages/sub-pages that make sense.
Let's say Honda came up with a new model of a car, you could potentially do an information article on your page, maybe a press release etc with a link to your check our Honda ABC Inventory, Buy Honda Used Cars in Houston, Houston Car Finance, Houston Used Car Finance and so on.
I hope this helps and ignites some thoughts :).

Hi Nash,
I have checked your ranking. Currently your home page is on 40th position for "sell my car Houston" so my advice is to build some quality backlinks for inner page. Apart from it, I have check you are listed locally in Houston you have 3 Google reviews also, try to get more reviews from customers it will help you in ranking locally.

If you want to rank with a specific page for a product you should try to build links for it. Your homepage will gain some value from that links, too. Hope that helps. Cheers from Germany Sven

I n order to increase the Page Rank of the website i guess there should be link on the home page as well as links on the specific pages...but the point to consider is that quantity of links might not help you in this case but you should consider quality links pointing back to your site...

Does a nofollow link from a high DA site count towards trust?
I've been checking out competitors through the 'link intersect function in my Moz account. Many have got nofollow links from high DA websites. I understand that nofollow links do not count count as a backlink, but will they add towards the trust factor?

Internal Linking - Post links vs Side Bar Links behaving differently
Hi, I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior. My website is www.hindimeaning.com which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts. Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.) I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links. If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links. Thanks, Mahesh Kumar

Is it worth me considering a reciprocal linking request to my authority site ?
My web site is www.swimmer.co.uk it sells waterproof mp3 players & is the authority site in its niche I have no out going reciprocal links I don't have advertising or encourage reciprocal linking as I thought it may devalue the sites quality & link juice I have had a reciprocal link request from a swim wear based website called www.onlyswim.com that has a reciprocal linking sub-page with many varied links on it that are not just on the subject of swimming I don't think I will get any direct traffic from this website so I was wondering if ts worth me agreeing to a reciprocal link page I think we both have a PR of 2 **Any comments would be much appreciated ** In research to try & answer my own question I have just read this on wikipedia "Reciprocal linking between websites is no longer an important part of the search engine optimization process.Google and other search engines now do not give credit to reciprocal linking as it does not indicate genuine link popularity."

Link Baiting ineffective for money pages
I am thinking of creating link baits such as infographic for my site. Problem is, link baits only serve to bait links towards those link baiting pages isn't it? It doesn't actually help in improving the SERP of my money pages within the site (which have content that doesn't bait links). Yes I do know however, it will help in the site authority which might ultimately improve the SERP of my money pages, but it is all too ineffective and far fetched is it?
