On-Page Grader: F, Backlink still work?
-
For some reason, i can't optimize the page, and on-page Grader is F, whether the backlink with anchor text still work?
Any thing i can do in such situation?

I will again recommend not to use exact match anchor text but try multiple anchor texts around your targeted keyword plus i would highly recommend using the idea of co-occurrence

You got my point and answered my question, even though my question is confused.
That mean even though the keywords "SEO Back link" not including in page content/title, url, h1.., and can not get a high grader in on-page grader, we still can get our page listed in the "SEO Back Link" search result though get enough back link under the anchor text "SEO Back Link".

I think i got your question... this is for some reason you cannot add your targeted key phrase within your content so when grabbing links you are planning to get exact match anchor text and you want to know if this still works!
If this is the question then I guess it’s not really a problem that you are not adding keywords within the content but when grabbing links make it natural instead of adding exact match anchor text... try to get some links with anchor texts that are not exact but move around the same!
How this helps!

I don't understand the question either "whether the backlink with anchor text still work?". How do you mean that? The grader is only for on page SEO. I don't think the Grader accounts for anchor text because the anchor text link would be pointing to another page (page B). The Grader only grades the current page (page A), not a different page (page B).

I am not sure I understand the problem or the question. Assuming others will be as foggy as I am the best advice I can give is to expand your question with more details as to your situation and question.
If the on page grader is an F for a keyword then it is reasonable to assume the link will not be very valuable for the keyword. A better test would be to see where the page is currently ranked in the SERP for that keyword. The onpage grader is a great tool but I do not believe it has adjustments made for over optimization penalties that are now in Google algorithms.
But the current value of a page to a keyword is always clear by simply finding it in the SE you are optimizing for.

Nofollow backlinks - are they worth it?
As we all attempt to get backlinks for the sites we manage, I have to wonder if it's worth it at all to get a nofollow backlink. Does Google give and positive credit for a link to a site if it is a nofollow link? Obviously, the follow links are worth pursuing. I'm just trying to gain some perspective. Thanks, Wick

Backlinks - Linking to new domain
Hello Moz community! My established client recently franchised their business by adding a metro area location. We have thousands of back links built to the corporate website, a lot of which have anchor text that are geo-targeted to the new metro area website. We still find the corporate website important, but would rather focus our efforts now on the newly franchised location. Does anyone have experience with successfully having old links changed to a new domain and if so how? When changing directory listings, such as everything on get listed, is it better do do slowly or as much at once as possible? Any recommendations or information would be appreciated! Thanks!

Does spinning content work any longer?
A few years ago, I used Free Traffic System, and spun a bunch of content to get links. I still have tens of thousands of these links showing up in stats. They were probably not good quality links. Will I get penalized if I pick up the spinning game again?

How to work with directories for SEO?
Hi, How many directory links do you tend to build in 1 month? And what do you look for in a directories before you submit? I could build 2 links a day from directories but the thought of 60 links being built a month from directories shouts bad news to me. I've had a look and come across a few directories with high DA/PA but at the end of the day they are just link directories, no content, lots of thin pages with lots of links pointing out. A couple of examples of good directories would help. Cheers

Hubpages and Page authority
Hi, I've created a Hubpage awhile back and I see the url has a page authority over 50. How much does Domain authority influence page authority? The url has only 3 (registered) backlinks, so I cannot see an obvious explanation why. I understand that Hubpages was one of the sites that "took a hit" with the Panda update, but it has a domain authority of 84...

Will building up the page rank of a page you have a inbound link bring any benefit?
Right then here we go You have a link in an article on a well known national newspaper site that points at your website. Is there any benefit of linking to the newspaper article in order to build up the PR of the article page and therefore passing over some link "juice"? Sub questions 1. Would it be more beneficial simply to gain links to your main website? 2. What are the chances of the article going into the archives and then at some stage being deleted? 3. If the article link points to a domain, which then forwards to a another domain will this pass on any "juice"? 4. If the article points to a domain that then 301's to another domain will this pass on any "juice"? 5. Does Google simply register the link and "juice" on the first pass or will it revisit and upgrade the "juice"? 6. What are the negatives? 7. What are the positives?
