Backlink value of 9Slides.com link
-
I got a backlink from http://www.9slides.com (site like slideshare) which is cool but I'm trying to compare its worth vs a link from slideshare. It is extra work to create content in slide + video format and its DA is lower- are there any positives I'm missing? Has anyone analyzed this site, any suggestions?
-
it really depends on your content. this site has a so so DA of just under 50 with over 400,00 links from just 200 something domains.
http://www.9slides.com/Talks/Growth-Hacking-is-not-sexy
this page PA of 0.
http://www.9slides.com/Talks/Fast-Mobile-Development-with-Apache-Cordova-PhoneGap-and-Backbone-js
PA of 22 since april
in comparison, slideshare has a domain authority of nearly 100 with 64 million back links from over 300,000 domains, but you would still find PA 0 slideshows on their platform as well.
http://www.slideshare.net/FrostSimula/10-tips-your-development-partner-wants-you-to-know
so you see, one is definitely more popular or much more established than the other, and in the end that plays some role, but YOUR CONTENT is what determines its PA and popularity, not the domain it is on really. too many of slideshows on both of these sites have horrible PA which means no1 cares about them or creators did not do a good job of promoting it. You have to face facts, the more niche, and the less mainstream type of content (the more professional and highly focused crap) the harder the challenges.
in comparison you can check this one on another provider
http://prezi.com/id1nlqcvqhrw/why-you-want-to-hire-me/ this content was cool and a bit aged, so you can see how it got that nice PA
http://prezi.com/a_4dfvuzpeg1/the-decade-of-data/ this content is too new.
both are on mentions of home page
http://prezi.com/isuuq2i9awi3/prezi-3d-template-by-sydofr/
here is another one with a higher PA. SO TIME IS OF ESSENCE when you are trying to analyze these choices, time and quality of content are about your higher determining factors, although your platform of choice can play a big role into how popular your content becomes and how fast, how sharable it is. not to mention the mere factor of traffics for each of these sites.
here is some hint as which platform gets more visitors overall
Prezi Alexa Traffic Rank: 1,648
9slides Alexa Traffic Rank: 239,923
Alexa Traffic Rank: 44,706
NOTE: Alexa numbers are only a hint, not really too accurate, but you can possibly arrive at an educated guess here about the correlation between PA of your slideshow page (lets say you have the same identically popular and quality content posted on each one of these platforms, at the same time) and how popular the provider itself is.
Given all of what I saw in this very loose and quick analysis, I'd pick prezi (you need a tad bit more skills on this platform) and i would spend a great amount of time and effort in ensuring what i do resonates well with target audience and would further make sure my target audience gets notice of this even if they do not naturally find this stuff on any of these platforms, meaning i would leverage as much controlled exposure to that link as i could via every available medium up to and including offline mediums such as TV or Radio or magazines, not to mention the plethora of apps and various other online mediums.

I think that a link from www.9slides.com won
t do you any harm BUT it
s not worth the work in comparison to a link from slideshare! The site has no real visibility, no PageRank, only 1 Top10 position within Google USA... slideshare has also a very bad visibility but as we all know visibility is not the only point, as well as the PageRank is not an unique feature... but if you take a look at all those aspects, slideshare is the better source for a link... just my opinion supported by the stats from the sistrix tool

Google.com country redirection
As we all know, Google redirected the user based on location automatically.
Image & Video Optimization | | Moojin
e.g., connect to www.google.com from Korea, google automatically redirected to www.google.co.kr
However, for sometimes I noticed that if I connect to www.google.com, it doesn't redirect to local google anymore. I tested by using VPN, and seems like Google no longer do location redirection. Does anyone have any idea about this?0 -
Anyone using synup.com?
I came across. Synup.com while looking for citations. Anyone use the service before? I have used Whitespark and was happy with them, but synup looks pretty good also.

Internal Linking | Site Architecture & Impact of PANDA
Recently, an SEO told me about a problem with my site architecture. Before I take any action, I would like some advice on this. May be this is basic for may people who read this. My e-commerce site has over 400 pages - all of which are regularly updated. I sell 4 products and all 400 pages have an image (which says "subscribe now") clicking on which gets the user to the subscription/payment page. Many pages have 3 images on the same page (mostly because these pages are huge with more than 2000 words on each page and they require a lot of scrolling down, so we placed the "subscribe now" button at the top, middle and end of page). Now effectively this means that there are over 1000+ images pointing to the subscription/ payment page. (1) I have been told that I should either remove these or put a "nofollow" on these images/subscribe now buttons. Should I do either? Similarly, I have a legal disclaimer at the end of each page with a link to a detailed disclaimer page (this appears once under each page) followed by a standard boilerplate language (which I think will be about 15% of the total page content). (2) Should I use image for the language instead? Does it count as duplicity of content? Note: All redirects and pages are on the same/ my own domain.

Does having a link in a clear advertising area diminish the value?
We were pleasantly surprised when a new skateboarding magazine/blog popped up recently. We have a good working relationship with the guys who run the site and they dropped our logo and a link to our site on the home page of their blog. As a national skateboarding retailer, this is the kind of site we would naturally show up on with link, logo, content, etc. So we feel we gained a highly relevant, potentially valuable link. One question came up, however: by being linked to in an area that's clearly designated for advertisers, is our potential link value diminished? See the site and our placement here (rt column, Tactics logo):http://www.curbcutmag.com/ Curious what some of you think.

Best Way to Replace Lost Links
We found a particular client that was using a 3rd party backlinker to build links (they were outsourced). The backlinks appeared to be low quality, just basic text and no substantial content surrounding it, usually like a forum profile. The backlinker was swapped out. However, we've been suffering from a big loss of links. We anticipated that quite a few of the links the previous crew were managing would be lost, however, we've lost over 1500. Some of that is due to the former SEO company using sitesays.com as part of their strategy. That site has since removed all listings/links because they were hit by recent algorithm changes. Every week GWT has fewer and fewer links coming from that site. We expect this to continue until GWT has removed all links from that site. We are also losing ground (quickly) on local rankings too. We believe this is due to the high number of links lost. What is best practice when building links to counter this issue? Is there anything that can be done to stem the link purge and, if possible, gain ground on rankings again?

Isn't video content killer-link bait?
I have not tested this yet and but I cant find anything useful on it searching online. My theory is that if you host a video on one of your own webpages and have the embed code of that video right under it then isnt everyone that grabs that embed code and sticks it on their site/blog giving you a backlink? When you click on an embed YouTube video it takes you straight to YT so surely someone embeds one of your videos that is hosted on your site it must give you a backlink? If this is the case then what would the ancor text be if any? and how would you change it? What's the value of this think over a pure text link from the same page? If this the above is correct then surely video is an incredible link building tool? The challenge still lies with making cost effective, quality video content but if you can get the hang of that then your on to a winner right? YouTube may get millions of hits and 'be the second biggest search engine' but having own branded, self hosted, killer-link-bait videos on your site must be the way forward? Adding a video site map will help tell Google the video is there and it should get indexed in video searches. Also if it gets visibility in universal search you get visitors coming straight to you site....

Backlinks & local search?
I'm aware that local search is mostly based on citations, and how well your Google places page is optimized, and the landing pages are optimized. But I was wondering if anyone could tell me if backlinks have any relevance in the local search results? And if they do, how much would you say the impact the local search results? could you estimate a % of total value? Also if they do, does it help to have backlinks that point at your places page urls? or should the backlinks just point at your places page landing pages?
