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

How is it possible that our page outperforms our competitors by all factors yet we are #5 on google search and they are #1, #2 and #3?
I've just carried out "Compare Link Metrics" analysis where I have compared our company page for a specific keyword with our competitors and it appears that our page outperforms our competitors by all factors provided by MOZ.com, yet our page is displayed as #5 in google search results and our competitor is taking #1, #2 and #3 for the specific keyword: "gāzes baloni". Attached are screenshots. Any ideas why this might be the case and what tactics should I adopt in order to change the situation? Here is the link to our website page for this keyword: http://www.intergaz.lv/lv/gazes-baloni And here are the links to our competitor website: http://www.lpg.lv/lv/gazes-baloni/ipasie-piedavajumi/ipasie-piedavajumi.html , http://www.lpg.lv/lv/gazes-baloni/gazes-balonu-specifikacija/ , http://www.lpg.lv/lv/gazes-baloni/gazes-balonu-iegades-vietas/ . Thank you very much in advance. ZoYSJ Zaq1C

Should I remove backlink from templated page?
Hi, I manage 2 websites; website A and website B. Both websites are hosted on the same webserver. Website A is significantly more established than Website B with a better domain authority and much netter keyword rankings. I have a backlink from website A to Website B. The link is do-follow and is in a sidebar template that appears on just about every page of website A. Also, this template is used in nearly all of the subdomains of website A for a total of 1,362 pages. It occurs to me that Google might see this as unnatural. I am considering removing this link from the template and adding it to the content of the landing page so that we have only one link from Website A to Website B. It seems rational to me but I'd like a second opinion, please. Thanks in advance.

Which number is important for backlinks?
I'm getting very confused. What is the important number regarding backlinks to my site? The Moz number vs. Hubspot grader spits out vastly different numbers. For the particular site I'm trying to improve, I don't have Webmaster Tools installed yet (waiting for webmaster to do as it doesn't have asynchronous code on it). Also apologies for novice question but I remember once being told that offpage SEO and specifically the amount of external backlinks is responsible for 75% of your SERP. Is that still the case?

A backlinks question
Hi all Could do with a second opinion on this one if anyone has a moment please. Recent Google updates have targeted overally optimised backlink profiles as they are clearly for seo purposes and not natural. The question I have is how does this relate to an ecommerce website? If I sell 'blue 1980 aged cheese' (I know nothing about cheese so perhaps not the best example!!) and I have a url on my shop domain.com/store/blue-1980-aged-cheese with the product name as the page title along with the domain name. If I were to get backlinks pointing to this page using the anchor of 'blue 1980 aged cheese' (and other variations of that, blue cheese, aged blue cheese etc) would this be considered to be too optimised? Given the page is about this item then surely it could be considered natural that people link using the product name, as well as using the site name and the domain url Any thoughts please Thanks, Carl

Remove links after Penguin?
My site did not get hit. I am worried that Google will come back and get me for those anchor-text links I built a while back. They are of low to medium quality guest posts. Should I remove my old low-quality links? What about those on sites and pages that have been deindexed by Google? Any point in removing those? I know we can only speculate at this point, but would really appreciate some opinions on this. Has the trend in the past been a slight rollback after a big algorithm update like this? Or could we expect to see more and more sites being penalized? -Mathias
