How to maximize a quality backlink?
-
Just noticed a huge spike on one of our How To articles and found that a Lifehacker article used our article as a reference and linked back to it. Is there anything I can to to maximize the link juice from this backlink?
-
Thanks for the response, the article already had these so I guess I'll just chock this one up as a "natural link from good content" win!

Hi there
Out of the gate - look for internal linking opportunities from that page. Make sure they are relevant and assist in enhancing the article itself. You could link to other articles in the same topic area, or put at the bottom "Other Articles We Recommend". Do not go overboard, do not overoptimize anchor text. Make sure it's a natural mention and link.
What this will do is help spread equity to other internal pages and may give them a little boost as well.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Backlinks from a secondary domain
Hi i finally figured out why my link profile is out of wack. Apparently we had a second domain registered that for some reason was active and linking to us - somewhat duplicated site. no idea when or how that happened. I wasnt with the company then. anyhow Ive now pointed the domain to a blank folder since I dont know how to disable it in 1&1 Hosting (if anyone knows please let me know!). Im wondering if this is enough? will the links still be there indexed even though the domain points to a blank folder? also how can I get google to profile my backlinks again? so I can see if it worked. Currently waiting for a new Moz crawl so Ill see if at least there my profile is looking healthier. thanks in advance!

Backlink?
This is probably going to sound like the silliest question ever, but I have to ask. Does an article that requires a subscription to read count as a backlink? Is there any difference in that type of backlink as opposed to one that doesn't require a subscription? Thanks.

Cant get no satisfaction: Backlink tools leave me frustrated
Bonjour from 7°C Overcast Wetherby Uk, I'm trying to get the backlink profile for a website that will tell me what inner pages are being linked too not just the home page but I'm not having any luck. Ive used Link Diagnosis but that just gives me a total backlink count, no good, I need to know what inner pages are being linked too. I then tried Yahoo Site Explorer but you can only use it know if you give them your mobile tel number for a windows live account, err no thanks! Ive also used the Site Exploerer API here via the dashboard but again no luck again 😞 [IMG]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/confused.jpg[/IMG] So my question is please; "Is there a Tool I can use to see what deeper pages on a site have backlinks" Thanks in advance,

Looking to partner with a Quality Link Builder
I have a number of clients, but don't have the time, energy or desire to spend my time building links. I'm looking to partner with someone looking to make some ca$h by helping me accumulate quality links for my clients (at an affordable price). Any referrals would be appreciated. If this type of post is inappropriate or violates any policy, then I would like to change my submission to: "What's the best way to find a partner to assist my link-building efforts?" ....not looking for an SEO firm's sales pitch. Thanks! BR
