Dmoz & Google
-
If I submit an inner page/category of Dmoz to Google will it get crawled quicker?
Same question for other directories paid and free.

This was a hypothetical question and I'm working on the SEO of many sites so the URL (or lack of) on my profile is irrelevant.
I already know how to check back links already, thanks. I was purely wondering if suggesting the dmoz category (or any directory) to Google would help speed up the process of getting it crawled. My initial thought was that it should, but wondered if Google handled some of the high profile sites differently. I also known that it's all about the waiting game and to expect nothing over night!
I guess this is a tricky question to answer. Thanks anyway.

So, you got a link from DMOZ to your site and you want that to show up now!! (Cool, I understand).
First and foremost, for you and anyone who is new, if you fill out your SEOmoz profile, you will be helping yourself as much as anyone else. Here is why: For this question, what I do, no matter who has asked it, is to go to the profile to see if you have a url that might be the site in discussion. (Makes my life and yours easier). While I understand the need for secrecy and discretion, I suggest all consider this: This is not your granddad's forum. People pay or work to be able to contribute. Yes, the occasional troll takes my email address off and spams me like a sandwich, but so what. You can prevent it by marking Hide My Email Address on my profile. Easy enough.
Otherwise, to easily give you an answer requires a quick look at the site and the ability to run one of about 6 link checking software programs that we pay for. If one does not show it, often the other will. Next, if there is a url issue with the link, by being able to go straight to DMOZ it makes our lives easier.
So, final answer is this. If you are using OSE and it is not showing, try WMT to see if it shows there. Then, check a tool like ahrefs to see if it is there. Lastly, send me a domain and I will take a look.
Remember, your profile will allow others to get to know you, etc. In over three years, no one has stolen my identity even though I am really good looking and the ladies dig me man.Best to you

Sorry, I cant of got that question across correctly.
I actually meant to speed up the crawling of the back link on dmoz to the website.

Ian,
Quick answer, no. Better answer, is your site verified in GWMT? If not do that now and come back and read the rest.
OK, now go into Google WMT and look at the dashboard. Click on Health, then Index Status: What do you see? are you not being indexed or are you being indexed?
If you look at the graph, you can even see how many pages are indexed over time.
If you are concerned some are not being indexed use Fetch as Google to check that.This is the best way to handle IMO
Hope it helps,
Robert

How is this site ranked so high on Google?
How on earth does "southeastasiatravelblog.com" rank No 3 on Google for "Asian travel blog"? It's just a collection of basically PR type travel articles. I have profiled its backlinks using Open Site Explorer and 71% of them are dead. The rest seem to be mostly "run of site" links from his other websites, which aren't particularly travel or Asia related. The highest PA for a live backlink to this site is a link from within his own website (PA 27, DA 15). Most of his backlink anchors are URLs and look fairly EMD to me. The site has few shares (6 FB shares, 7 FB likes, 1 Twitter share). So what makes it rank so highly for this phrase? My site I'm comparing against is "travelnasia.com" which is a fairly new domain with a DA 23, PA 31 and about the same amount of shares but far fewer backlinks at this stage because I recently changed URLs to shake off what might have been an algorithm penalty from Google. I am now receiving a growing level of Google search traffic again, but it's a long climb back. I'm looking at strategies, which is why I was checking out the site above.

Over Optimised Anchor Text (Internal & external)
Hi First - is it possible for internal anchor text to be considered 'over optimised' in terms of diversity or does that just apply to external backlinks ? For example If you have a main site section/page thats about a service you offer and you call the page this service and the URL this service and then link to it from many internal locations (but in a logical useful manner not just for the sake of it) using this service/keyword as the link anchor text i take it this WONT ever be considered over optimised anchor text since is completely in context, makes sense, is useful and after all is what the page/section is called (so would be strange to call it and link to it via any other term) ? Second - I have a project who's backlink profile is nice and diverse and could by no means be considered over optimised on a domain level. However looking at page level a main site section/page (as above) has only one back link with exact match anchor text from the BOTW directory, so in regard to that page keyword rich anchor text from this one backlink is at 100%. However the anchor text is what the page/section is called (title and url). I presume that this is also unlikely to be considered over optimised (since makes sense, is logical helpful and would be strange to name it anything else) or could it be considered over optimised ? Thanks Dan

Affiliate Links & SEO
Hi Looking at my backlink profile I noticed that I had 150 links coming from one site. Ahhhh I thought in light if the recent Penguin updates. Upon closer inspection I noticed that my link is only on the homepage of that site but because that site sells its product via clickbank they have got loads of versions of that site because of its affiliates. For example: MAINSITE is www.mainsite.com then there are 150 affiliates using hoplinks via clickbank so its: www.mainsite.com?hopmrbig www.mainsite.com?blablahblah etc etc The question: Will this hurt me? In theory I got 1 link on their homepage but will Google see it as 150 versions of the same site? Your thoughts please? SMP

Is there a cost per acuqistion figure I can quote that if I hire an agency to link build that we can guarantee a level of increased traffic from Google?
I am looking to justify to a pubilsher the cost outlay to hire an agency to do white hat link building for me as we do not have time. (the site is fully optimised but we lack the inbound links our competitors have) - is there a way I can explain in terms of numbers ie page impressions that if we build for eg 10k high quality anchor text links into our site we will get x thousand more page impressions as our rankings in the search engines will increase? Just need a justification before the budget is allocated.
