Tumblr links
-
I have several Tumblr blogs. Created when Tumblr links were worth more, and now primarily for my amusement.
But, I'd like to get whatever link juice I can out of them.
I thought only the footer links were do follow, but when I check Moz it's showing all links as do follow. Any idea which is true?

Hi Julie
Yes, add a post and a link. Right click ‘view source’ and find the link. If it doesn’t‘ have rel=nofollow in the ‘a href’ it is do follow.

Are you sure? About five years ago I thought Tumblr went to no-follow links in the posts, with only bio links as do follow. Did they change back?

Hi Julie
If they are your blogs which relate to your business and you have set them with do follow links back to your business website then they will be useful. It's when people use Tumblr to set up PBNs (Private Business Networks) where it becomes grey hat and ill-advised.
If the subject of the blogs, (URL & Title) have no relevance to your business then you may do more harm than good.
Also be careful with exact match anchor text - spread it out over different relevant keywords/phrases.
You determine whether a link is do follow or no follow.

Nigel

Site wide links removal
A website of mine has about 4,000 backlinks of which 2,500 of them are coming from one website to the homepage and about 6 internal pages. These have been built up over about 5 years, mainly via article posts. The site was recently hit via penguin 2.0 but has only had natural links built so i'm wondering if the sitewide links are in fact the issue? The website linking to mine is an authority source within its niche but the concern is the amount of backlinks coming from this one site and if it may now be seen as having a negative impact. When ive reviewed the links from this one site via a backlink removal tool about 80% seem fine and suggestions are to remove about 20% of the backlinks. Would you keep all the sitewide backlinks or remove them?

Links on My website
I am looking to create some more trust on my website by subscribing to BBB. I have heard that my site is penalized and loses "link juice" if I place the BBB logo link in my page footer on every page of my website. Does anyone know how much I am penalized? Should I only put it on my conversion pages and maybe my main 10 sub pages? My main goal is to assist in getting conversions but I don't want to do it at the expense of getting a penalty. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Boo

On-site links
Hi everybody, There's a lot of information about getting sitewide backlinks, but so few about on-site optimization. Is there a maximum of links to put on a page ? Is there a maximum of link that a page should receive ? etc ... ? So, what is the optimal strategy ? And I'm only concerned about on-page and on-site link, not backlinks commming from other sites. Thanks

Internal linking between categories
Is it necessary to do internal links between the same categories of a website ( Let's say Ihave a category about shoes and in the category I have a page about boots and one about sandals ( should the page boots be accessible from the page sandals and the other way round or is the back button going back to the section shoes enough ) ? If internal links between the same category ( sandals to boots ) are needed/recommended is it also a good practice to do site wide links between categories ( shoes and and bags for example ) Because by reading google recommendations "Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link" I am not sure if they are talking about breadcrumbs or text links i am kind of lost ... Thank you,
