Can i place my anchor text backlinks on English high pr websites?
Yes, you can... if those websites are really used by your German audience (i.e.: Mashable).
But if you mean "pr websites" something like "press communicates web sites"... than I would say no:
- Because those are links that usually can generate problems (crappy sites);
- Because they must be nofollow links (as Google told) because they are not editorial links
- Because the press communicates will end being published, maybe, in sites your audience is not, hence useless for referral traffic;
- Because of at least 10 others good reasons I won't list.
Moreover, if you want to rank in Google.de, you need links from German websites for simple better geotargeting and for a simple question of logic:
Google, in fact will consider that your site is not relevant for the German public if it doesn't have links from German sites.

Hi Malek. If you use Open Site Explorer to examine the back link profile of sites related to yours, you should find several quality locations where you may be able to gain links: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose. In general, the basics of SEO apply to any website regardless of country so the guides and educational material in the learning section here will be of help, for example: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-link-building. Recently, Cyrus Shepard did a nice webinar on the basics of SEO that should also be of assistance: http://moz.com/webinars/seo-basics-the-fundamental-signals-used-to-rank-our-content-higher. Enjoy!

Is this website optimized? Parallax web design for SEO.
Friends, I'm hoping to get some feedback on optimizing a website. It's a parallax web design so there's really only one title tag and meta description. I don't want to stuff the on-page content with keywords that don't flow with the copy/branding. What are some additional opportunities to optimize this website? It's not ranking in SERPs and has a low DA. Here's the URL, please take a look and let me know what I could be doing - https://saintst.com/ Thanks!

The best option for expanding a website to another country
Hi everyone, I have a couple questions about expanding my website from US to another country. Which option would be better to use: Country-Coded Top Level Domains, Sub-Directories or Sub-Domains? If I use a new domain, but I want to keep all the content, would canonicalization affect SEO of my new website? I want the new website (or another option) look just like the one I have, except for changing contact information, pictures and adding another language. Thank you!

Migrating to new website with new name and new content
Hi for the past few years I have been running a personal training company from the following domain name www.smpt.me. This has done well in the past and so has some authority in google as it was ranking well on page 1. Over the last 6 months I have set up a new website with some new business partners using the domain name www.healthbyscience.co.uk. This new website, whilst still a personal training website, has different content to the original. We want to use the new website rather than the old one and therefore my question is how I can use the old website to assist with the new website. Thanks

Bad Backlinks and Copied Website
Since last fall our rankings have been steadily decreasing in position and now we are no longer showing in Google Local positions. We still have decent organic rankings but Local is our primary concern. My website: http://www.petmedicalcenter.com I did some digging and found a ton of spammy looking domains linking back to my site. I took a screenshot from Google Webmaster Tools - Links to Your Site page. http://screencast.com/t/8yYh65xlOU2y I am not sure how this happened as I did not add our URL to most of those websites. Also, I found that this website: http://justinchina.co.uk - has copied our entire website. Every time I make an update to the site, that webpage updates as well. At this point I don't know how to go about cleaning up this mess. Most of those linking domains do not have a contact button and I doubt they would remove my links at my request. Should I use Google's disavow tool? Any thoughts on that? or ideas? Thanks for your help! Brant
