Self linking
-
There are 10 links on page that point to this page where they exist (link to the page itself). Does it influence on ranking?
-
Hi!
Since you are just pointing to the same page then there's really nothing there to lose

Hi,
In case of self linking link juice won't spread, I mean If URL is same how link juice will spread?
Thanks
-
Thank you.
And what's happening to link juice? How does it spread? Is there any loss of it? -
Hi,
No. First you have to understand what is internal linking.
An internal link connects one page of a website to a different page on the same website to spread link juice. In an internal link, the source domain and target domain are the same. - In your case both pages are same so your move contradicting even definition of Internal linking. It won't help to improve ranking.
Thanks

Links from sites with iffy link profiles?
So the site http://www.cadenas.de/ appears to have good decent scores from the various Moz ranks, but when I check out the site in OSE there are a lot of really sketchy links that jump out, online pharmacy/drug type links. I should also add that the negative links are seemingly going to a weird blog deep in the site and only appear when I select all links to the root domain in OSE. Everything about the site appears very legitimate except for the link profile which has me nervous. Would you guys pursue a link from this site?

When/ What Links to Disavow?
We have an older website started in 2000. We have thousands of backlinks which we believe are hurting us. Starting with Panda our site has been devastated, traffic wise, from a million + page views a month to 1/3 of that now. We've never solicited links, never paid for them, they just happened. It seems every "search engine" and spammy site on the web has links to us. Hundreds if not thousands from sites like , 29searchengines.com, 55 searchengines.net, and on and on.. 1. How does a site know when the links are harmful?

2. How do you know which links should be disavowed? Thank you0 -
Looking at Page Authority of a link to our website... what Page Authority number should we use in deciding the link is junk?
What are the Page Authority ranges? 1. Excellent link 2. Moderate 3. Total junk link Of course you look at the anchor text you can use, how many links are on the site, how often it is cached. Thoughts?

How do you determine a quality link?
I have a question about quality of links I'm seeing with my linkbuilding program. I just noticed that my 2nd ranked backlink contained the keyword as the username with a link back to my site. There was no relevant text in the comment itself with the keyword linking back to my site. My question is this good practice? I wanted to get your opinion of these kind of links for a linkbuilding program. Here's the backlink and our keyword is the username Cat Control: http://bytesizecss.com/blog/post/fix-haslayout-with-one-line-of-css. It looks like everyone posting on this page is just linking their username back to their site... I'm not an SEO expert by any means, but if everyone is doing this same type of link building on a directory type page such as this. Could these type of links eventually become a target like what happend with the farmer/panda update?

Link building
I have two separate websites on different servers and was wondering that since reciprocal links effectively eliminate each other, I'm curious if this link strategy will keep the links counting. Here's the strategy: I will have someone link to my site A and if i link to their site from my site B in a three way link strategy, will the links count even though both my site A and B have me listed as the Whois so Google knows that both sites are owned by me? Or will the links be discounted as reciprocal? Thanks in advance for your feedback! Take care, Ron

Linking articles to each other
I've been using white-hat article marketing to post original content about my niche to credible article directories (yes, I realize many of them were recently devalued). My question is: Is it a good or bad idea to have future articles link to older articles, as a way to increase the chances of having the older articles indexed, or increasing the amount of link juice they pass to my site (since they point to my site)? I get 2 links per article and was thinking of using 1 to point to a prior (related) article, and the other to point to my site.
