Does PA matter much on blogs like tumblr, wordpress.com?
-
I've been exploring setting up pages on these type of sites. When searching for key words I've discovered the following...
If a sites DA id let's say 83, the root domain you create is also an 83 (not 100% but most I've looked at)
The PA starts at 1, but there seem to be a lot of these blog sites that rank for my key word searches even though the PA is a 1.
So...
I was wondering the value of attempting the get the PA of mine greater than one with back links. The blog page will link to the corresponding page on my main site.
Is it worth the time, or PA in this case is not really much of a ranking factor in creating link juice? What I'm asking is that will a page on let's say joemastriano.blogspot.com/ (whatever) get more link juice to the page i link it to if the PA was 25 and not 1?

I'm beginning to agree with you, I have acquired many links in the past that carry little weight in the metrics. Then I did a lot of comments on do follow related newspapers like WSJ and Huffington post, and my DA took a nice boast from all the new decent root domains connecting to my site.

Short answer, yes. The more PA a page has, the more link juice it can distribute. Here's a comment and blog post from Rob Ousbey from that helps explain it (2009): http://www.seomoz.org/blog/using-small-website-to-create-a-bigger-impact
"I think that domain diversity has been more important of late, which implies that links from two domain are better than one link that is superficially twice as strong. Of course, we must remember that mozRank and PageRank do both work on an exponential scale with base about 8 - 10. Also, that the number of links on a page affects the strength passed."

Good alternative to guest blogging
Hi, After many years of on-page I've just started in the world of link building and I'm currently working on an e-commerce website. I've noticed that most blogs devoted to this sector that are worth their salt will only accept guest blog requests for payment. So here's the question, is there any way to circumvent this? Is there any other way to achieve the same results I would with guest blogging without having to pay for it? Thanks in advance

High Quality Guest Blog Swapping
I have tried checking out a few of the big guest blogging sites out there but every time I create a killer article the site that offers to publish it is normally some suspiciously spammy side with a low Moz score. Does anyone know any sites where guest bloggers can link up to swap high quality blog posts. Maybe one that requires some filtering of poor quality host blogs?

Optimizing YP.com and Yelp listings for local business
I have a fairly new business and I have been citation building over the past year. I noticed that when I perform a search for my keyword and city that YP.com and Yelp show up high on Google SERPS. I have a listing on both of these directories but my listing is unfortunately buried. I have optimized my listings on these sites to the best of my ability. I have not upgraded to paid advertising on either. It's expensive and I here mixed reviews on the ROI. I will list both profiles: http://www.yelp.com/biz/care-wellness-center-margate | http://www.yellowpages.com/margate-fl/mip/care-wellness-center-465315829 | Can anyone offer any advice on optimizing or boosting these listings so I turn up in the first 3-5 instead of 20 or lower? Thank you Robert Herbst

Performancing.com guest blogging service ok?
Hi MozFans, A client is interested in working with the guest blogging service of performancing.com. They seem to have a lot of good contentwriters and post on (most) niche blogs. Guestblogging is a good thing for seo, when it's on relevant sites with a quality article.

The client hasn't got a lot of time to write and find blogs himself. Any positive or negative experiences?
Or other options 🙂 Thanks!1 -
Links from local.com after Penguin
I have been doing some research on where some competing links are getting their links from and I see that a decent number seem to be getting some juice from local.com. My question is- have the panda & penguin updates rendered these useless- or even worse can links from directories like this now harm my SEO?

Brandpoint.com
We were recently made aware of brandpoint.com. They produce content and guarantee the content will be listed on a minimum of 600 websites that they have agreements with. This includes the LA times and others. Their agreements state that the content will be a maximum of 2 clicks from the homepage and will live for 1-2 years before getting archived. Does anyone know anything about this company and/or the overall strategy of achieving links on these highly trafficked/valued sites through articles? Will these links help us or is this similiar to sending out a press release on prweb where you get picked up by benzinga and other sites automatically and the value for the links isn't really there? Any insight you can provide about this company and or strategy would be most appreciated.
