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?

Consolidating small sites into one big site
Hi I have several small review sites in multiple categories and want to consolidate them into a single review site(aged domain I just bought) I'd redirect the old sites to the new one. If I just copied all the old articles onto the new website with solid DA, would this work or would Google think Im trying to start a PBN? Thanks! Eddie

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.

Strange Pingback/Blog Comment Links
On one of my sites I've noticed some strange links from Google Webmaster Tools recent links feature. They are pingbacks/blog comments but they are using keyword anchor text and linking to my site. I know we are not doing this. Should I be concerned about this possibly being negative SEO? Here's a sample (be careful, shady site)

Big one or a linkfarm?
Hello Moz and Mozfans,
White Hat / Black Hat SEO | | inizio
I would like to ask you a question. Our friend runs a real-estate server site with aprox. 450 000 visitors a month. There is aprox. 15 000 products to be sold. The problem is, their business strategy lies in visits, not conversions. They also run a huge (you may call it linkfarm) syndicate of exact-match domains, where all those products are feeded. Of course there is supposed to be a duplicate content, but for some reason Google does not care and indexes them. As a result this syndicated exact-match domain agregate has aprox. 350 000 visits a moth, almost as much as their main brand and domain. The thing is they need those numbers. Finally my question: Should we persuade them to: A. forget the linkfarms and focus on their top-product B. milk the linkfarm as much as possible before ban C. something else? Thank you very much. Bestr regards INIZIO0 -
Is Guest Blogging the Next Link Buying
I like the guest blogging idea for two reasons. One, it builds links, and two, it allows me to add content to a lot of blogs that are really interested in growing a lot of good content. But I often read articles that give credit to another article, that give credit to another article. I have been offered plenty of documents for client blogs, but I am worried that at some point in the future Google will decide all this guest blogging is similar to link trading and selling. What does everyone else think of guest blogging?

Guest Blogging question
Once your guest posts go live do you do anything to promote them or do you just wait and hope they get indexed? If so what do you do exactly?
