Link values
-
I have an interesting question, it's more to see other peoples opinions than looking for an exact answer, as I know noone can give that.
If you had a good link on harvard.edu.. how many very low quality links on low DA domains that are full of junk, would you need to match the harvard link... if all other factors were equal.
I'm gonna go for 500.. I've had great results with a few high DA/trust links.
I'm not looking for anyone to give me a definative answer, just curious as to the views of other SEOs

thanks for your answer guys! Sean, I do whatever is neccesary to get the .edu.. at least anything that isn't against the google guidelines!

I'm interested in how you will acquire the .edu.
As to how much more valuable, if all other things equal, ie anchor text, context, landing page, etc, etc then I would have though a PA 80 .edu vs PA 40.com spam might be 40x value? Guesstimation

It's all context dependent. It depends on how relevant the sites are, what you mean by low quality, etc.
And if your talking about websites full of junk/spam, then no amount of those sites are worth a quality, relevant link.

Outgoing links
Hi Guy's, We have a website with no outgoing links (only Facebook). Is this a good way to score better in the SERPS? Or is it better to have some outgoing "relevant" links for a natural linkjuice? Thanks!

Wierd link
We have recently receive linek from one website. The site is quite very powerful for the word we try to rank, however the link is kind of wired. This is how it looks like: http://villasdiani.com/?db The webmaster of the site said that he ads (?db) on the end so as we would see on our analytics the traffic from his site.. Also the link is from footer...is this good or it does not have value

Reciprocal links
Are they worth anything, if they are from relevant sites? I'm I better off avoiding linking back wherever possible?

Penguin Recover: Remove links vs Burry Links
The best is to do both. However with those with limited resources, would building more links with branded and naked URL anchor links be a better solution than painstakingly asking every webmaster to remove links.

Reciprocal Link Exchanges?
I have a spanky new website with absolutely no incoming links at all. Someone suggested a link exchange site (LinkMarket.com). But I thought that doing reciprocal links was being penalized by Google. Does anyone know if link exchange works, and if so, what the best link exchange sites are? Thanks, Dan
