Is there an extra SEO benefit for linking to pages that link to you?
-
Currently working on a link-building strategy and have gotten a few mentions. Just curious if there is any SEO benefits of linking back to the pages my site was mentioned and linked on? Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!

No, no-follow links still leak link juice, it just doesn't reach the others site., if you no follow. it would be like, I give you 10 dollars, you throw 10 dollars down the drain.
Really you don't want to link away from your site, unless neededHere is an old article I wrote on page rank, old by still relevant. http://thatsit.com.au/seo/tutorials/a-simple-explanation-of-pagerank

Thanks, Alan! That being said, do you think that for our press page this issue can be skirted simply by no following the links? Or do you think it would be wiser to avoid providing links all together to our press breaks and display them in another way?

David is correct, it can look like link farming. but only if you do it a lot.
but the bigger concern is that you are pouring away link juice. Its like I give you 10 dollars and you giving me 10 dollars, where is the gain? -
Thanks Bowey!
In context, it is for a Press Page I am making, linking to all the articles that are linking to us.
I appreciate the response!
Cheers,
Derek

Hi Derek,
In the research I have done having a do follow link to a site that does the same to you could be conceived by google as a bit of link farming. If its valid content / reason to do so then great and everything in moderation will get you by.
I'd be cautious about doing it more than just a few times in you LBS. Admit I'm no expert though.
Cheers
Bowey

Value of IMG links for SEO
Hello, I'm looking for some new ways to build links (IE, letitimate not spam), and I know sites featuring a site that I created would be an interesting way to do so. My question is this, the StudioPress Showcase pages http://www.studiopress.com/showcase/baltimore-print-studios link back to your site with an image, with some "Almost URL Alt text". How valuable would this link be, given that the DA is 97 and the PA is in the upper 40s Thanks Zach

1and1 - Ever had any problems? Link Analysis / SEO
Hi there guys, I have a website (www.advanced-incarcamerasystems.com) that I built quickly using the 1and1 service in the UK. I have been an SEOmozzer since about the beginning of June/July time and still not seeing any link info. It also seems to be struggling in terms of SEO. 1and1 have their own built in tools such as modifying certain SEO parts of a website but it really doesn't seem to do much. Our main site (www.advanced-incar.co.uk) has gone from strength to strength since using SEOmoz so im at a bit of a loss. Any help / advice anybody can throw my way would be great! Tim

Do VigLink links get indexed, and then pass SEO juice to the merchant?
You can find the service at viglink.com, they do dynamic linking to anchor text for participating publishers on a cost-per-click basis. Less interested here in the conversion quality and more interested in the broad SEO value. Any ideas?

Value of Inbound Links to Pages With a lot of Outbound Links
Suppose you have a resource page of the Top 50 Awesome Sites in your niche. Since there are about 50 outbound links, then I would think there will be less Page Rank being passed to internal pages from internal links on the resource page. Since you are getting less PR passed to internal pages, are there other ways the inbound links can be beneficial, such as increasing the diversity of links of your domain? Sites like SEO Optimise seem to create a lot of Top 30 Resources lists and I have read that they think it is a strong tactic.

Local Search Citation Building - 2 links on 1 page?
I have the opportunity to display information about a business on a handfull of high PR web pages (with relevant content, not directory listings). I'd like to use these listings to build local search citations and homepage authority/rank for chosen anchortext. The format allows name, address, phone number, email & url plus a description of the business (short paragraph that can contain a link) - see below. Should I link from the homepage url and body anchor text? Will search engines ignore the anchor text used in the 2nd link? Example Limited, 123 Example Road, London N12 3AA United Kingdom Tel: 020 712 3456 Email: ** hello@example.com** **Web: www.example.com ** A unique service offering special widgets to customers in the London area
