What is the best backlink? Homepage or specific post?
-
I am working hard to get backlinks from other blogs by submitting deal tips. I am a deal blog so I am wondering - is it better to get a backlink to a specific post that will expire because it is a time sensitive deal or sale? Or is it better to get a backlink to my homepage? I focus on the best blog with PR of 7 and DA of 72 as well as others that are high up there.
In case I am not being clear, which backlink is better?
B. www.mysite.com/awesome-sale-of-the-day
Sometimes I won't have a choice but just wondering what I should focus on or if it even matters. Thanks!

Thanks!

Well they don't need to see my blog post to learn about the deal. The deal blog I gave the tip to will give all the info. They just give me credit at the very bottom. I won't get a lot of clicks but the backlink is what I want.
Big deal blogs post 20-30 deals a day. They do label things expired if it expires that same day. But otherwise it is just a given that the deals expire and redirecting pages and labeling everything as expired would just take way too long. And no one does that and I figure I should learn from what the best do.

Make it logical...if the referring blog says "awesome deal for x" make it as easy as possible for the user to find the deal and convert b/c ultimately a sale is better than a link.
I would also add that once the deal expires on that particular page you might want to either redirect the incoming traffic to a similar deal or change the language on the linked page to reflect that it is no longer live.

Backlinks not indexed on MOZ
Why our backlinks do not show up? Even GSC shows a good amount of our backlinks and other applications show too. But in the case of MOZ, it still shows 0 backlinks and 0 organic visibility. Don't you guys think this puts a user of your software way behind in terms of competition and real data? If my backlinks will be considered by MOZ, when will it be❓

How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.
So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

Best way to approach a contributor.
Hello, Let's say I have got contact details of a contributor of ABC.com and the domain authority of this domain is 83 and the website is very relevant to my website. What sort of words I need to use to approach the contributor? Last time I sent the following message to a contributor and never heard from him. Hello John, My name is Blah blah, I have been reading some posts that you have written on ABC.com and was very impressed with your work. I was just wondering if you are able to write about our website on ABC.com and let me know what will be the cost of this project? Is that not a good approach? If not, what you reckon is a good approach and please mention the words. Thanks!

Top 20 sites for backlinking
My security jobs website was doing very well in Search engines until the penguin got hold of me. I don't profess to be at pro at SEO however seem to have a knack of getting sites to rank well. I think I made some basic mistakes with the original security jobs website, to many links to soon, so I have started again and will build up slowly the backlinks quality rather than quantity this time. My questions is what are the top 20 or so sites that are good to backlink from?

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?
