So I have a site that does lawyer lead gen and I'm trying to make link magnets.
I know a lot about certain types of internet marketing. Unfortunately not SEO.
If I make a blog about what Lawyers should know about say, new adwords changes or something like that, and then get links from PPC type blogs, would that help?
What if I made a blog about top movies with lawyers in them or something like that, and just got links from non lawyer sites.
Is that worth while?
Let me know.

Negative, your best bet is to no rely on building links but useful, authentic content. Mentioning portals with great value and like minded vertical. Then once posted - mention them socially and through time - they and or other like minded sites will begin to reference you. Now, this does leave you open to the issue of reciprocal links - but algorithmically speaking - we may stimulate the 3 pro-dominant social back links - facebook, twitter, and google + ( while it lasts ;o)
What if I made a blog about top movies with lawyers in them or something like that, and just got links from non lawyer sites.
Once again, don't put your efforts in just link building - if it makes sense and you have done your SEO keywords analysis correctly - cater it to fit that market.
Most importantly - time is the most precious commodity in a URL's value.
Is that worth while?
I have many lead gen type sites and built them with knowledge of knowing they would take 8+ months to begin to gain traction and attention.
Hope this helps

Hi there
To me, the movies with lawyers in them idea is fun, but is that really something your users are going to want to read? You want to develop content based on research and what your users are searching for.
When you say PPC type blogs, what do you mean? Do you mean paid links? I would be extremely careful about that and make sure you adhere to Google's guidelines.
Hope this helps - good luck!

Relevant SEO factors
Ive been out of SEO for the last few years and I’m just getting back into it wondering whether meta data and black-lining are still relevant SEO. If not what on page factors should I be looking at.

Benefit of Guest Blogging with weak relevancy
No - not that awful kind of guest blogging Matt Cutts called time on - but legitimate blogging on quality websites. Just thought I'd get that out of the way first 😉 I work for a legal services provider as a Content Marketing and PR Executive, and I have a regular spot guest posting on Search Engine People which I acquired in my previous role at an SEO agency. As I'm still working in the industry (in-house rather than for an agency) I thought I'd carry it on, not only because it's good for me personally, but because it'd also be a nice link building quick win from a good site with a strong DA. My question is, with next to know relevancy between domain-domain, page-domain, page-page, is there much value in the link? To be clear, I'll be doing it anyway, but the answer might inform whether I do it under the guise of an employee of my company or just as myself. Thanks all!

'How much do citations help your seo in view of the direction that google seems to be headed where content is king? Should the citations not be relevant to your site?'.

How important is the relevance of a link compared to its authority?
Would be interested on some perspectives on link relevancy versus page and domain authority in terms of importance for SERP. How important is the relevance of the site linking back compared to the page and domain authority of that site

The quality of links is measured by website relevancy to my business?
In Open Site Explorer links are being valued with Domain Authority and page Authority. My question is if you measure somehow the relevancy of the website with the business of the website to which the links are going? I have learned that an important part of the value of links is the relevancy of the website with my business. I am seeing for example a link from a children website to a car related website as very much valued. I dont see very much relevancy with both so I wonder you take this into account.
