How do I set a link as a "do follow"?
-
I have a page from a state agency linking to my website. They have good PA and DA. How do I tell google to "do follow"? It is already showing up as linked to my site, I just want to make sure I'm getting the SEO juice!

Great question: a business does need a mixture of quality do follow and also no follow backlinks.
In order to build quality white hat backlinks, we would recommend hiring an agency to do this work, as it requires an SEO consultant who is highly knowledgeable at building quality links which will help to improve a companies organic SEO.
Our business sells garden bars, and by having a mixture of white hat do-follow and no-follow back links we have helped our company onto the first page of Google in the U.K

@victor-celer said in How do I set a link as a "do follow"?:
<a <strong="">rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mywebsite.com">Visit my website!</a>
Does that work in Forumns lik MOZ?
<a <strong="">rel="follow" href="https://www.myfloridasolar.com">Visit my website!</a>
Above and Below Solar Links

Thank you for clarifying!

You need to check the HTML code of the link. If it doesn't explicitly say nofollow in the rel tag then it is a dofollow link.
For example, this a nofollow link:
<a <strong="">rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mywebsite.com">Visit my website!</a>
If we remove the nofollow property the link becomes dofollow:

Why Links from Top Level Domains doesn't Pass Link Equity?
Hello, I have a doubt about Equity-Passing links report of OpensiteExplorer.org According to Sam Weber http://moz.com/community/users/432678 links which pass value from one page to another including followed 301 and Meta refresh links are under Equity-Passing links. I am surprising after looking at the links report generated by opensiteexplorer.org. Most of the article and directory links which have low DA and PA are under Equity-Passing links. Whereas websites like EzineArticle or Articlebase which have good DA and PA are not found in either Equity-passing links or under only nofollow category. Please suggest me if the report of Opensiteexplorer is not good enough or the links from the site like Ezine Article doesn’t pass the link equity. Thanks.

What do the "best" backlink profiles look like, in terms of percentages from quality content, bookmarks, social media, directories, etc?
I recognize that there is no such thing as one ideal link profile, per se, but I am curious, if you sampled 100 high authority sites, what would their inbound links look like on average, broken out by source type? Some sites would have a ton of social sharing due to their funny pop-cultural content, while others might be quoted and linked in context for their brilliant insights. A very technical resource might gain a lot of links from forum discussions. If I can complete this exercise on my own, I welcome your advice on how to do that with OSE or the like.

"Diverse" Links from same IP address worth the work?
Hi folks, This is my first posting, so please be nice with me 🙂 I have completed an all-new website (www.buy-hosting.net) , however the domain is bought and already exists since 2 years, but has no inbound links though. Now I start building links. I have some clients of my web design business, I could bring in links to my new site on their sites from different domains, some established and years old. However, they all are hosted at the same IP address. Is it a good idea for link diversity to post links on their site to my new one? I remember a thing, that only 1 link will be counted, originating from the same IP address. Is this worth the work of asking clients, posting links, etc.? Or is it even dangerous to my new site? Also, any other ideas about how to start link building are welcome. Is there a comprahensive list, something like a "startes guide with practical ideas" to link building? Thank you and kind regards

Article Links
I write and publish artcles. Typically I publish them on a few top article sites like EZineArticles. The articles then get picked up by other sites, often numbering in the hundreds. All of the articles are published with a link back to our website using a keyword. Are there any SEO risks in this type of link proliferation?
