Very Big Pr blogs
-
Hi there,
I was wonder how come a simple blog with 1-2 page ..not very old (<1 year) ..can get Pr 7 or Pr 8? Take a look:
Mit4.info pr 6 , 6 months old...
http://odubai.info/ Pr 7
esenderlink.info Pr 8 !!!
webstreamingsmania.com/ PR 9 !
Very strange! Can someone explain how they got this <acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym> and if they transfer anything if we post links there?
Thanks in advance!

I checked the PR9. That is definitely fake.
PageRank is a product of the links that point to a site. Therefore you CANNOT have a high PR without high incoming links. Even using the freshest and most generous backlink checkers that site has no more than a handful of poor quality backlinks.
Let's ignore backlinks and just use common sense. What other PR9 sites can you think of? Amazon.com is only an 8, seomoz is only a 6. Apple.com is a 9, as is adobe.com (one of the most linked domains on the planet). Would you say that this blog with it's keyword anchor laden fiverr style content is on a par with those sites? Is it likely to pick up the same quality and quantity of links?
PR is a product of the links. If the links are not there then that PR does not belog on that domain. Just because you can't see how they are faking it doesn't mean that it is not fake.
(earlier 301 redirect to a higher PR domain is the likely trick used by the same)
Here is an OSE comparison that shows the difference. It could be argued that OSE is usually a few weeks behind, but then you have to assume that this site could close the gap on Microsoft.com in a few weeks, which is even more far fetched!

They are not fake ! You can check them,,,

Even without looking I would suggest that they probably have fake PR.
There are a couple of ways you can trick google in to displaying a fake toolbar PR. It doesn't actually help your site at all in the rankings, but can be useful if you are being less than honest (for example selling links based on PR).
A good way to spot these is to compare PR with DA/PA in open site explorer. Big differences can be a sign that something is amiss. There are some online "fake PR" checkers too, although their reliability varies.

Best practices for retiring 100s of blog posts?
Hi. I wanted to get best practices for retiring an enterprise blog with hundreds of old posts with subject matter that won't be repurposed. What would be the best course of action to retire and maintain the value of any SEO authority from those old blog pages? Is it enough to move those old posts into an archive subdirectory and Google would deprioritize those posts over time? Or would a mass redirect of old blog posts to the new blog's home page be allowed (even though the old blog post content isn't being specifically replaced)? Or would Google basically say that if there aren't 1:1 replacement URLs, that would be seen as soft-404s and treated like a 404?

Blogger relationship - One Off VS periodic monthly blogging (which is best)
Good day all, I am interested in building relationships with my bloggers (i.e...people that are interested in my website and blog about it regularly). I would also propose to them the idea of blogging about our page regularly, perhaps recurring monthly. If the strategy is in place, could receiving links from the same bloggers each month cause any negative SEO effects? Thanks for your input.

Better ranking competitors have paid links from blog pages
I have a trial of all the tools at the moment and it's a lot of fun. I have been delving into site explorer and found that some competitors have links to them from obvious seo promoting paid blog sites. One has no other links except a paid for blog from a site that openly admits it offers paid marketing and they shot up to 4th on page one for a main keyword phrase. The info from moz and matt cuts video's say not to do this, but it's so tempting. The blog is well written, while I sit here and do the right thing, my competitors have page one. If the blog is well written and is meaningful is it OK and if google ever decide it's paid and don't like it, wouldn't it be better to be page one for 6 months and then recover? I'd love to give the link to the seo, blogger thingy but don't want to come across as promoting it in any way. I am sure there are loads of them anyway.

Would you get link from this blog?
I have an opportunity to place a guest blog on a site. The site has the following metrics: DA/PA: 24/36 Inbound links: 3K+ from 16 root domains Here is what makes me uneasy: The number of links from the same domain, suggesting sitewide or footer links When I look at the backlinks, there are links from sites like http://best-american-law-firms.info/, or http://www.luvbuds.info/. They sare blogroll links that are likely paid for. Would you get a link from this blog?

Anyone else noticing that their expired domains have lost PR?
A while back I experimented with buying some expired domains that had some PR. I built a small website on each and created content with anchor text that linked back to my main site. For one of my sites I noticed a significant drop in rankings this week. At first I thought it was because of the latest Panda update. But, the drop was slow, not sudden like most Panda hits have been. Then, I noticed that some of my previously purchased domains that had held their PR for quite a while are now PR N/A. I'm guessing that the latest algorithm change caught on to what I was doing. Probably what I was doing was grey hat. I honestly think that every SEO goes through a period where they try out some grey or even black tactics. This makes me even more desiring to be completely White hat now....and build links that are going to last. I was just wondering if any of you guys have experienced anything like this this week? Would love to hear your thoughts. EDIT: A second question - What would you guys do with these domains? They're still in the Google index so they're not penalized, likely just stripped of PR. Would you scrap them completely? Remove the links back to my sites? Do nothing?

If I were to change the geographic keyword such as "foreclosures in Dallas" on 20 related blogs to "foreclosures in Los Angeles" what would happen?
In other words I'm wondering if someone built up an internet presence for their company through multiple websites over the years and then decided to move to another part of the united states, would it work to change all the keywords to the new location? Would that work toward getting them ranked in the new area or would you have to create entirely new websites? Thanks guys.

Problems with link spam from spam blogs to competitor sites
A competitor of ours is having a great deal of success with links from spam blogs (such as: publicexperience.com or sexylizard.org) it is proving to be a nightmare. Google does not detect these (the competitor has been doing well now for over a year) and my boss is starting to think if you can’t beat them, join them. Frankly, he is right – we have built some great links but it is nigh on impossible to beat 400+ highly targeted spam links in a niche market. My question is, has anyone had success in getting this sort of stuff brought to the attention of Google and banned (I actually listed them all in a message in webmaster tools and sent them over to Google over a year ago!). This is frustrating, I do not want to join in this kind of rubbish but it is hard to put a convincing argument against it when our competitor has used the technique successfully for over a year without any penalty. Ideas? Thoughts? All help appreciated

But will these link be a Good BackLink that will increase our site's SEO Standing?
