Interlinking articles and posts
-
I have many articles and blog posts on my site. How should I interlink them for the MOST benefit to my root domain. For example, should I consider pointing pages with higher SEOMoz page rank or trust to those with lower rank? Or does that not matter?
-
Of course it is a factor to take into consideration but certainly never the only one.
-
If the same principle of passing page authority through external links applies to internal links, then I guess it makes sense to take this into consideration, but I would make it a secondary consideration.
-
I understand. All things being relevant... would you EVER consider Page Authority or Moz Rank AT ALL to decide which pages you link to first?
-
I agree with cees, you need to think about the user experience here.
Would the link provide a benefit to the reader? i.e. does it link to a page with more information about the topic being described in the article?
If so, and it's genuinely helpful, then do it, but if you're linking for the sake of linking, I'd think twice as the site could come across as a bit spammy.
-
First of all look for relevant link opportunities. If you want to link to your root domain do it from articles with have strong relevance with your main keywords of the root domain. Use a keyword in the article as anchor text to link back to your root. Having relevant text in the article around the link with synonims of the kewywords is also important.
It is also very important to consider if the links are user friendly. Don´t overdo things. Don´t put too many links in each article. Try to imagine yourself as a reader of the article and consider if the link can be useful for your visitor.
The Moz rank should not be the most important factor for linking.
Relevance and usability that´s what count.

Getting links on old blog posts
There's 100 of blogs with posts that link to my competitors, but don't link to my site.They are mostly lists. Eg: "The best Sites to get blue widgets" I was thinking about getting in touch with these blogs, and asking them to take a look at my site, to see if perhaps they would add it to the list. In fact, I started doing it and I got some links already. Now I am starting to worry that Google could consider these links as unnatural, because, you know, the algos are not exactly perfect. Anyway, the links are important for the exposure anyway. I've two questions: 1. Is there any chance I'll be penalized? 2. May I get a SEO benefit from this links?

Post Penguin Blog Commenting Links
I have heard a few different things, and I am still not quite clear. Regarding blog commenting, what is the preferred way to do it now? Should the text that is hyperlinked just be our main website name written out http://www.example.com? Is anchor text the text that is hyperlinked? And should the link always go to our home page, or should it go to whatever page we are commenting about. Is blog commenting still good to do post penguin?
