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."

I'm thinking about buying a competitor and 301 redirecting? How much SEO value?
I'm thinking about buying a competitor and 301 redirecting their site to mine. The high level stats are as follows. My site has a DA of 46 and the homepage has a PA of 55. 375 root domains, 170,000 links. The site sells millions of dollars worth of product each year. The competitor (who I had never heard of) has a DA of 58 and a homepage PA of 64. They have 634 root domains and 260,000 links. They aren't selling much of anything (less than 100,000 per year). We might be able to operate their site but I'm concerned about maintaining 2 platforms. My question is about the value of buying this site and 301 redirecting it to my site. Would this create long term SEO value or not? Any examples that have been documented are greatly appreciated.

Do subdomains (eg .blogspot.com) carry the same link juice as a .com or .co.uk?
Hi guys. Just wondered what people's thoughts were on the value of a link from a subdomain vs a .com or .co.uk - I have several clients operating within the UK crafts sector, and there are a huge number of blogspot blogs with decent PR etc. Given that anyone can start one of these for free (and therefore theoretically get themselves hundreds of bogus links), I wonder whether they carry the same value as an independent site. I'll look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts 🙂

Linking from different IP, but same server, how much it can hurt?
Example, Have a site on 173.194.33.51 and site on 173.194.33.52, same server, different IP addresses, same network subnet. Make one link from site residing on 173.194.33.51 to site on 173.194.33.52 Can this hurt? Can it be beneficial if site on 173.194.33.55 has good PR?
