Should I become a regular contributor to help my SEO link building?
-
I've been offered the opportunity to contribute to a blog as often as I want and have a link included at the bottom of each post. Will this be much help to me in my link building SEO campaign? As I understand it more links from different root domains are what really count? So 20 links each from a different site is more valuable that 20 links from one site?
Should I take up this opportunity or are my efforts best spent elsewhere?

I agree with Keri,
Which is more valuable... cheers from 20 drunks or endorsement by the Pope?
I might blog on the Pope's site but the time spent doing it for the 20 drunks would be better spent on my own site.

It really depends on the quality and the relevance of the site. If you sell politically-themed merchandise and have a chance to guest blog as often as you want on the Huffington Post, go and take it. If you sell bathing suits and get a chance to blog on a site about raising pet turtles, your efforts would be better spent elsewhere.

Thanks for the reply guys. I can't see how it can do any harm really as its a quality site.

It's a great question Samuel,
I would contribute as like Jason says it it great to get your brand name out there plus if the responses are great ideas or knowledgable then you will get a following and that cant be bad for anyone !!!!
Getting many links from the same source is not the greatest of ideas but as SEOMOZ is a platform that is very high in authority level in Google's eyes then it will not harm you.
Get commenting and posting !!

It never hurts to be a contributor to a blog site. Especially if the blog site has high PR. It also puts your name out there and can garner your site traffic from that site (referral traffic). Yes 20 links form different root domains help but they only help if they are pertinent and not spammy. This does not sound like it is spam and in addition is most likely going to be contextual backlinks (higher juice). I would recommend you do it, just my two cents. Hope that helps.

Questions About Link Building .
Hello Moz Community, I am about to hire a SEO firm for my website ranking. I have few questions about their link building plan. http://priceperlink.com/SEO-Link-Building/ Their link building plan ! I have purchased package 4. I have noticed they will use same article and PR again and again . Is that acceptable ? This plan is not authenticated to me. I hope google will catch me for duplicate content. Anyone can clear it please ? Another question is , If i provide unique articles , will that plan be helpful ? Still i have confusion. As I read few days ago, google don't give any value to article submission and press release distribution without any news ! So, help me quickly and suggestion as well. Will i continue with them or not. Thanks

Best SEO practice to redirect affiliate link
Hello, I got an affiliate program on my website, that redirects the affiliate link to the main site like: site.com/ads/aff_code/ -> site.com/ (The redirect is done using a 301 status code.) On the redirect process the site stores a cookie to track the affiliate sale. Will Google and others SE follow this permanent redirect, transferring the relevance of this affiliate link to my main site? In other words, if an affiliate does something wrong (like spams), does the bad reputation will be transferred to my main site? Is there a better way to do that from a SEO standpoint? Thanks,

Local service site link building
I have a local service site http://winecountrycarpet.com/ and I have been link building as much as possible for my landing pages (which aren't local to my city, but are within 20 miles). I would like to keep my link building as above board and white hat as possible (so i do a lot of forum sigs and links in do follow forum in my industry) I do not seem to be seeing any results though. My pages are on the first page for their targeted keywords, but I think this has more to do with onsite SEO and non competitive keywords. I am wondering if anyone can recommend any strategies that I might find more effective. I have thought about leaving blog comments on do follow blog's but it just seems so spammy its hard to imagine it working. I am open to any ideas.

Does it affect SEO of how quickly you get in-bound links?
We have undertaken a very aggressive in-bound linking campaign. I have a whole team of people working to get in-bound links to our site. But I dont want to cause any red flags to the search engines on how quickly we get all of these in-bound links. Will they notice or flag our site if they see a quick rise of in-bound links? Thanks.
