Best way to build backlinks
-
Hey guys,
I was wondering what is the best way to build back links ? I have all the read moz's articles regarding this and I know the crucial parts are creating content, engaging users via social media etc. What I am interested in knowing is whether guest posting is still a solution to create that domain authority you need to rank ? I've spoken with some people that told me guest posting is out of date and will not pay off using it. By using guest posting of course I relate to creating unique content and valuable to the user.
Thanks,
Andrei

Hi Don,
I felt it was best to re-prhase the question since I was lacking a concrete answer. The answers in the previous question have been of great value to me. Thanks again for your willingness to answer my questions.
Best,

Hi Ryan,
Thanks again for your answer, I appreciate it. Normally when you create a Link Building campaign for one of your websites what steps do you take in creating an optimal link building campaign ? For example, how do you prioritise your link ( e.g Social, Guest post etc. ). I know there are many metrics behind google's ranking system, but I wanted to know out of your experience how would you handle this ? I am trying to rank for 'outdoor fitness' on GoogleUK and my website is www.norwelloutdoorfitness.co.uk.
Thanks again,
Andrei

HI Andrei,
You received a lot of good responses the first time you asked the question, http://moz.com/community/q/link-building-still-effective
Do you feel that it was not adequately answered? Is there something more specific we can help with?
There is no magic wand for building backlinks. Some times the hard way and the right way are the same way.
Good luck,
Don

I think if guest posting becomes a tactic that is done on thin content websites or blogs that reproduce a lot of duplicate content then it should be avoided. However, guest posting in the sense of a book author writing something like a review of short story collections on a site outside their own is very common, or an article written in an industry-relevant news site by another company or leader in the field is also quite common. Both of these examples and many others are guest posting in the positive sense. But they take having a site or work or product that generates interest in and of itself. You should be able to guest post on a site that isn't specifically designed for guest posting, i.e. your basic pitch should be, "Hello (editor, analyst, reporter, etc.) we (wrote the ABC book, run unique XYZ site, are researching 123) and have recently done some work into your site's specific focus. Please let me know if you'd be interested in sharing something written by us with your readers." Ideally your guest post is accepted because you're advanced in your field, versus being an SEO tactic.

What is the best way to pass link juice?
We have an e-commerce site that, according to Moz, has too many on page links. The main navigation has top level links and about 45 sub-category links. Our question is -- Should we keep the main navigation and top level categories as do follow and change the sub-category navigation to no follow? Or, should we make the top level categories no follow and keep the sub-category navigation do follow?

Looking for Resources for Broken backlink Building With My Team
I've been doing some reading on broken backlink building but have not had much success with implementing a fine tuned process with my team. I've already read the moz post about broken backlink building. I've also used the www.<a>brokenlinkbuilding</a><a>.com</a> tool by citation labs but found it to be kind of clunky. Could have just been me though : ). Any helpful resources would be appreciated to automate the process better?

What backlink is better?
Hi Guys I recently helped out a friend with some marketing advice and to do me a favour back he said that he'll put a link on his site back to my website. Just some background on the site, it is very high quality with DA of 71 with each blog post/inner page having roughly PA of 45, it's been online for 15 years and has nearly 4,000 indexed pages and 10,000 links. Anyway my question is would it be better to get a sitewide link in a sidebar that is displayed on every page of his website or would it be better to write a blog post on the site that links back to mine? Thanks

PR1 and PR2 backlinks
We're doing some content marketing. I've heard that it is a good idea to target even PR1 and PR2 sites (small DA sites). I'm concerned about these sites disappearing after a few months, as we've found that losing a backlink can sting a bit and be worse than never having it. Though this isn't as big a deal any more. Anyways, can somebody say when a PR1/PR2 backlink would be appropriate to go after? Some of them would be easy and if it's appropriate I'd like to include them. So far they would only pass our standards if they are Above PR0 Look like a white hat, quality site from the outside Have a clean backlink profile Look like they're going to stick around Successful Social Media Accounts a plus What are you guys' criteria for including these sites? Do you gain value from them?

I've signed up with about 20 high rank sites (DMOZ,GoGuides, Gimpsey, SearchSight, etc.) to aquire high pr backlinks. If I want to submit my backlinks to an indexing service, is the url for my backlink their website, example www.searchsight.com, or the page url where I'm
