Web2.0 and private sites backlinks loop hole
-
Let suppose i have one target page i.e video and one web2.0 blog or wordpress blog. If i keep on adding new articles on web2.0 and in each article i add one back link(with different anchor text) to my same target page. Is this create red flag in google as i will be using one domain?
Do I need to keep my web2.0 like bloggers.com and weebly or wordpress blogs relevant to one topic to increase the relevancy score. If i try to keep them relevant my back links to target pages from one domain increases again. I kind of stuck up in this loop help me out!

To be honest, using Web 2.0 links in this way is viewed as a low quality activity. Many of these types of links were targeted by multiple Penguin updates, and too many of them could cause you a penalty.
I'm not saying that all 2.0 links are bad - they certainly aren't. But spammers try to build 100's of 1000's of these types of links on throw-away blogger and WordPress blogs that add very little value to the web. These are the links Google tries to sniff out, so it's best to avoid them. A network of these types of links is Google's very definition of "unnatural" and could quickly lead to a loss of rankings and traffic.
Put simply, Google wants you to earn your links.
To answer your question more directly, the first link from any domain tends to count more than other links. So 100's of links from the same domain don't add as much value after the first links. And yes, this can start to look fishy.
It's best to use 2.0 links in moderation, and make sure you are targeting high authority, well trusted sites. I recommend building profiles on good sites and earning links through adding value.

Hi Sajid
No its not a good idea to get more no. of backlinks for one website from one web 2.0 blog. Google gives more priority to the websites who gets unique link from different C Class Ip's.
Here is the nice discussion on High Value on Lots of Sites vs. High Value on One Site
Below are my thoughts for Web 2.0 Strategy which you can use for your website or clients:
- Use high Quality web 2.0 Sites.
- Best list of High Quality Websites : http://www.seomoz.org/directories/
- Make Blog category wise or niche wise.
- Select best theme which suits your niche.
- Update relevant blogs on regular basis.
- All Content needs be unique, attractive, informative.
- Try to use images in your blog post according to the content.
- Allow relevant guest post in your blog.
- You can give link to brand name instead of anchor text.
- Create profile in Social Media like twitter, pinterest, facebook, linkedIN, Google Plus.
- Integrate all Socail Media Profiles to your blog.
- Share every blog post on Social Media Profiles.
- Try to get as many likes, shares, pins, tweets, etc on your blog post.
If you do all above things on your blog then might be after some months you will see good improvements in PR, DA for the blog.

Why is a website with no backlinks beating me?
In Sydney we have an import car dealership and even though it does not show any backlinks to it: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.edwardlees.com.au%2F (make sure to search on Google.com.au for any relevant keywords I mention) However this website is ranking at the top for many competitive keywords, for example: 'japanese imports' It is dominating. Our website has many backlinks: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.sportsautogroup.com.au But no keyword rankings. I understand we need to fix up our on Page SEO, but how does our EdwardLee's rank top with no backlinks?? Or is the tool just missing data?

Should we BackLink to Guest Post ?
Hi, I have been actively doing guest blogging for last few weeks . But the page authority , moz Rank and moz Trust of my guest posts appear 0 as those posts have their own pages on blogs with snippets of posts on home page. I wanted to ask if i should backlink to my guest posts to increase the authority, mR and mT of pages. Those posts are already appearing as backlinks in webmaster tools but if i backlink to my posts to increase mR and mT, then will it also increase the juice passed by backlinks in those posts to landing pages on my site ? Thanks,

Frustrated with spammy backlinks from competitors
I've only been doing SEO for my company for the last month and I've made some headway but what is really frustrating me right now is a couple of competitors that have OBVIOUS spammy links ranking in the number 1,2,3 stops all over the board for the keywords i'm going for. One competitor in particular has anchor text links EVERYWHERE that make absolutely no sense...junk like... "I have never been more saddened by anything in my life than when my grandfather got cancer. I told my uncle he needed to buy some auto insurance. I really like pork." I mean, these links are the pages with the most page authority and page rank out of all of the ones they have...and I'd venture to say that almost all of their backlinks are like this...well, half of them are just random links with good anchor text on the sidebar of a bazillion spam websites (diapers, toys, fake blogs, etc.)...while i have about 3k links and most of my top competitors have about 5k links...these guys have over 33k. Worse yet, when I look at something like Alexa rank, they have pretty high overall traffic rank but it shows traffic rank in MX (mexico) instead of the US...these guys only sell in the US! I mean, they're black hat if I've ever seen such a thing and they rank superbly on all keywords. What can I do to compete with this junk?

Advice for brand new site
Dear All I have been an SEO for several years now, and have just laucnhed a new site www.householdsaver.co.uk its in its early stages as I expect to add a community option where people post deals and offers they have found, share them with friends etc My question is really are all the old seo practices still worth doing? Things like directory sites, blog comments, articles sites, social bookmarking etc.... (I have already built up twitter users on the account before the site went live) With Moz's trust factor is it best to go for highrank trust sites first or... I guess you could say that I am suffering from what do I do first and is it all still worth doing and what are the early pit falls to think about..? ie too many links too soon and from to high or to low trusted sites? Any comments from anyone who have put a new site live in the past couple of years would be appricated. Thanks James
