$10,000 backlink?
-
Hello guys,
Would you pay $10k for a pr9 backlink?
Thanks!

Something to avoid, is the mindset of buying links / sponsoring.
Google values a genuine link that is editorially gained, rather than a side note / footer / site-wide links. These carry very little value and in some cases, can create a big headache for you in terms of penalties from Google.
Good SEO is actually a mix of a great user experience, easy-to-use website, interesting information and closely following Google's webmaster guidelines. This all boils down to best practice. Keep your visitors happy, social media buzzing, content well written and Google will start to value your site more.

What other things with SEO would you put that money towards? More sponsored posts?? Thanks!

Invest that in other SEO work instead. I would buy that if it's 60% cheaper and will always be on the homepage hehe

To answer your question bluntly. Nope!
For $10K, you could get a lot more for your money and would be a longer term investment. Your link on that PR9 site wouldn't be on the Home page the whole time, which I assume carries the highest PageRank. You would eventually fall into an inner page carrying much lower PageRank OR, worse, you get bumped from the site altogether.
Better ways to invest that same amount in organic SEO efforts. Fun question to start my day!

So Apartment Therapy are selling links? Tread carefully with this, because you have announced that you may pay $10k for writing an article that contains lots of links back to your site. If Google get wind of this, you could spell a whole heap of trouble for yourself.
Just as a side note, $10k will buy you a lot of very good organic SEO and link building that won't carry the risk.

I'm not sure how Apartment Therapy would feel about you sharing that information but that aside, given your name I assume your NZ based? If that's the case I'd get some metrics on subscriber numbers in New Zealand for Apartment Therapy (I know they're huge in Australia). I'd then weigh that up against 10K worth of SEM that is focused and targeted. We do a hell of a lot for 10K for a client (that's not a pitch btw). And finally one of their strongest assets is their EDM so if you do go that way, ensure you're in a prime position on the EDM. Hope that helps but for whatever it's worth, it sounds very expensive.

Backlinks from different TLD's impact
Hi MOZ'ers, I'm wondering what the impact of different TLD backlinks is for same language pages. For example: we're on a website that has a German national TLD .de. We're earning backlinks and they are coming from .de as well as .ch (Switzerland) or .at (Austria) pages. What would be more desirable, and how big would you consider the difference? Looking forward to hearing your responses 🙂 Justen

Why is this working for a competitor? Non-relevant backlinks helping them out?
A competitor is using a weird strategy, one I know isn't legit, however it's not only helping them, but doing in with a lot of speed. I've ran their info through ahref, majestic, moz, semrush and for backlinks they have 225ish, here is their breakdown. 169 follow links from their parent distributor site ( which is located in their parent's site's footer ) and then 3 to 5 links from sites that relate to SEO, marketing, unrelated things like pocket calling article and comment spam. maybe 5 of those links are from anywhere close to a related site, and those are from spammy directories from out of country. Why would these backlinks be helping them so much, and how can I get in front of them when these craptactics are working for them? They have 250 backlinks - 25 of them are follow We have 300 backlinks - 90 are follow and from relevant sites like EPA.gov, some EDUs and related sites to our niche. Some explanations or words of wit would really be helpful here, as I feel like something isn't adding up.

Does posting on blogs with anchored backlinks do you any good?
My current strategy: I am ranking for keyword and site: Immigration Consultant I access the Fresh Web Explorer and search my keyword, then find the blogposts with High Authority where I can post using HTML and include my link in my signature, or sometimes the post has a link associated with the username. Now my question is this, does this count? will google even crawl the comments? can I aid the crawling process somehow? Any advice on creating relavent back-links is much appreciated. Thank you
