Is too high a frequency of 'money' keywords backlinks (eg. a money keyword backlink for moz.com would be "Seo tools") a considered factor for Penguin penalties even if the money keywords are only on reputable pages, with decent PA, DA and trust ?

Not only money making keywords but over emphasize on any keywords will be dangerous for your link profile. Whenever I think of anchor link, I consider one thing and that is the fact that this keyword on anchor will make sense or not.
I mean, when I am getting a link in between of the blog post (within the content) there is good chance that I can get an exact match or atleast partial match anchor text. But, in author bio, donation links, mention links, reverse image search in most cases it will be either naked URL, brand name or some text that may or may not be your targeted keyword.
My advice is to make sure that its making sense to have the kind of anchor text, if not you know what steps you should take from there.

Hi There,
It seems that you are focusing on Quantity of backlinks rather than quality. The basic reason google gives value to backlinks is that it considers you are doing some work that is getting attention from right people on right websites.
We have worked for a very BIG website hosting company which was hit by earlier Penguin updates as there were literally million of backlinks pointing to their website(This was due to their affiliate marketing network). We tried disavowing links, however, they would creep up daily from one affiliate marketer or another. The next Penguin 3.0 update, solved many of problems by itself, it seems Google understood and differentiated the Good backlinks and weighed them more over the bad backlinks
Quality of links will improve if you focus on getting real visitors to your website, and search engines will automatically follow you
- Referred Visitors who stay long on your website help boost your rankings, so try to create engagement using blog comments / social media comments. Keep the interaction real, informative, helpful and engaging.
- The goal is to establish you first as an authority for your niche, focus on this goal.
Whenever people talk about backlinks, their focus goes to building them up in number so that google considers you an authority for the subject matter showcased on your website. However, I always advice “Stick to basics”, focus on getting real visitors and giving them a good experience while browsing your Website. Rest will follow!! (even search engines and real traffic)
I hope this helps, and you would make organic looking , quality backlinks.
Feel free to respond and ask further questions.
Regards,
Vijay

We have a blog post about the fitness equipment names https://www.fitness-china.com/gym-equipment-names-pictures-prices The content of our article is very helpful and comprehensive. However, the current search for fitness equipment names only appears in the first place on the second page of GOOGLE Natural Search Results. One page. How can we improve our ranking? What we hope is SEO white hat practice

Is it worth getting a backlink to a page that will be 301'd?
I have an opportunity to get high value backlinks (from the Emmy's) to a landing page before our new website is live. The backlinks won't be free and they would go live before the website is live. Is it worth spending the money if the landing page will be redirected once the site goes live?

I've watched a few backlinks disappear from our inbound link search.
After inquiring to Moz.org about this, they suggested this might be due to a new feature that was rolled out, however, this 2 year old backlink still hasn't shown up and I'm a little concerned. Has anyone else experienced this?

All on-page and off-page tips are appreciated
http://www.business-baltics.com what would you change in terms of on page seo? Should all categories have a longer introduction text + an image that reflect that category? Most companies don't have any text in their profile for example: http://www.business-baltics.com/baltmar-trade-ou-503456 All content is paid (if they don't pay they don't get a chance to introduce themselves) ... how would you improve the rankings of companies like that? By the way I cannot change that, it is the company policy. Should we make a chance for people to "vote" for a company that google would have the stars next to all companies. Would that help to get more visits from Google? How should we rank better in Yandex and Baidu? (Baidu sent 1 visitor in last month). And yes we have the chinese language... Yandex is improving but we are not getting the results we want. Thank you for all your tips.

Redirect a 404 page
Hi We encountered a problem with our site during a migration to a new platform and we lost much of link juice. I have noticed on SEOmoz Open Site explorer that our old urls from the old site still exists and many have high page authority. The urls all redirected currently to a 404 page and it is not possible to retrieve the old information For example this page http://www.featuredeco.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/FeatureDeco/_71989/1 This has a page authority of 32. Is it possible to retrieve the link juice from these pages and channel it on the Kind regards Paul

Lack of keyword targetting
Consider a scenario where a website has a considerably higher no. of back links than its competitors along with a greater Domain Authority, Mozrank etc. The only thing missing is keyword targeting. In such a case, rather than trying to build new links with keyword rich anchor text, wouldn't it be better to first focusing on changing the anchor text of the links that are already pointing to the website? How much impact would this have on its rankings? If the gap in back links, and the "value" of the back links is far greater than its competitors wouldn't this in itself help to change things around drastically?
