Should I optimize/link build all my pages at once?
-
I'm currently starting to optimize about 30 area specific pages for a property maintenance company and was wondering, what's the best way to link build multiple pages at once?
Should I link build for all of the 30 the pages at once, or maybe focus on 5 individual pages - get them ranking well, then focus on the next 5 and so on?

If you know now that you will optimize 30 pages then make your plan now. Determine which pages will focus which key words or phrases. This will help you avoid cannibalization within your own site. You can also start now with building anchor links between each page as you optimize them.
As you build links or otherwise improve your first few pages, you may encounter an opportunity for another page. You can then either take notes so you can easily backtrack later, or you can stretch and include the extra page while it is convenient. An example is you may have a site which sells insurance. You might contact an auto dealer and obtain a link on their site referring car buyers to your site. At the same time perhaps you might think about the health or life insurance needs of the car dealer's employees and find an opportunity there as well.
One last thought. Once you feel your first 5 pages are optimized, I would not recommend waiting for them to rank well. Go ahead and jump into the next 5. It takes time for SEO to work. There is no benefit to waiting. Get started now.

As link building is a very long process i suggest you do a perfect on-page SEO so each page targets specific keywords and what ever opportunity arises to get good juicy links to your website no matter the page just do it as even if you target lower pages for links your home page still gets some juice from it.
Hope it helps.

SEO value of home page links
I was looking at the website peak7.org and there are links on the homepage that rotate at the bottom. Do such links have SEO value even though they are not static text links? Are they still counted as links by Google if they are in that rotating carousel?

Competitors black-hat link building?
Hi Mozzers, <a>http://www.alivenetwork.com/ </a>is a close competitor of ours. They're ranking far better than us even though many of our search metrics are the same...except one! links! To give you an idea, we've got a fairly large backlink profile for the industry with quality links.

34,981 links from 276 Root Domains = about 127 links/domain. Alive Network has 1,692,256 links from 705 root domains = about 2400 links/domain. Surely that looks a bit black-hat right there? Is it just a matter of time until they're penalised? Perhaps they're just a bunch of domain-wide links? Thoughts would be appreciated.1 -

How fast is too fast when it comes to link building?
I'm getting ready to start a massive link building campaign. I plan on using a variety of anchor texts, getting links from a variety of sources, and only getting high quality links from relevant sites. My main concern is getting penalized for gaining too many links too quickly. Does anyone have any advice on how fast is too fast? Or how much is too much in a certain amount of time? Thanks!

What % Page Metrics & Social, What % Links?
It seems that a lot of the focus of SEOs, especially whitehat SEOs like SEOMoz and Distilled has shifted a lot more towards improving page metrics (bounce, return rate, etc) and social metrics. I'm curious - And of course, I'm just asking for guesses - But what percent of ranking do you think is page metrics, social metrics and other non-link based metrics and what percent do you think are link based metrics?

Link Building Tactics
Without giving all of your secrets away, what are your basic link building tactics? I'm trying to do everything legit, but man is it tough to get links from legit sites. This is the first time I've truly had to go out and build links. I am trying to partner with bloggers in my industry to post a review of our site and submitted to some of the major paid directories and stuff like that, but I'm curious to know what the pro's do.
