Alexa: is it worth paying for their subscription
-
For $9.99 you get an improved site listing i.e. logo and 2 direct links to your website? Are these links valuable from and SEO point of view? Has anyone taken out a subscription for this reason, even though they could be construed as paid links?
Many thanks, Peter

hi aspirant,
im using alexa for almost 2 years, as a free member but i noticed that my links don't count as much the other sites, here i want to know the experience.
So i was thinking that if pay for them then they would optimize my site view more and i think the number of links that could be counted by alexa can increase.
i mean Alexa are private company and there crawling for paid members should be better results and faster to achieve the results
you want => higher ranking on Alexa + higher number of backlinks counted by Alexa = higher ranking for Google
because there is sites they have thousands of backlinks with Alexa , i mean how is that.
so im going to pay for alexa this months and see if they will count my other links .
ill post back after i get the results.

Surely the links are no-follow?. I personally don't know anyone at all that pays for Alexa. Also, Is it 9.99 one time or per month?
Thanks

Are directory websites still worth considering?
Hi Mozzers, What are people's opinions on directory website? As standard, we would always attempt to get our clients listed on reputable generic directories such as Google My Business and Yelp, and then directories that are relevant to the industry in which a company operates. Do you think this is the right approach to take?

Has the Humminbird update caused links to be worth less or more?
As things move on will links be worth less as recent updates including the hummingbird update are moving further and further in the direction of content and social signals being the important. On the other hand good links are becoming so hard to find, that may make them become more important than ever. I'm trying to split my time up between content creation and link building/PR. which area should be focused on most. we have more quality content than we do quality links. our link profile is good but far to small. any suggestions what to focus on?

Paying to Remove Links?
I emailed a directory asking to have my link removed and they responded that it costs $20. Does anyone have experience paying to remove links? I would never do this on a mass scale, but for individual links is it worthwhile or a waste of money?

Which directory link do I choose to pay for?
Recently I discovered an opportunity for a link on the Better Business Bureau, but it cots $600/yr. In my niche I want the link for nothing more than link building. Is the link worth paying for? (I read the YouMoz post on the subject, but still no definitive answer).

Ezine articles - worth it with a PA of 1?
If I write an article on Ezine Articles, it has a page authority of 1. I guess this is to be expected until that page is crawled, but is it actually worth writing these articles? Does the DA 'count' for anything here? Can I ever expect the PA to increase? (unless I build links to the article - in which case I may as well spend that time building links to my site)

What article directories (if any) are still worthing posting to?
While article marketing my not be at the top of the SEO strategy heap, it has, thus far, had a place small place at the table. In light of the Panda-Farmer-Anti-Demand-Media-Content update, I'm re-thinking article marketing altogether. Which, if any, general article directories are still worth adding content to in terms of links and eyeballs? Should these general article directories be avoided altogether?

Followed Links from random forums, is it worth?
I have a competitor that apeears first place in Google with a certain keyword, i explore their site, and they have a lots of forums poiting to their page. What they do is, just go to a random forum, comment some threat and they put the anchor in sig, with that keyword, linking to their page. Well, from what i read in SEOmoz articles, Google its no supose to penalyze this pages? Because thoose are pages (forums) that dont have nothing to do -subject- with the page that apears in first place? Its a good practise? Should i do the same (x2) to get the first place in google? (Sorry for my English) Thank you.
