Great idea to get back links in short order; however the links would be unrelated. . Is it worth the effort . BTW, it's a white hat method. Should I proceed?
-
I have come up with a very creative way to get some great back links using white hat methods. The problem is that the back links to the site would be to an interior page or external promotional website which then have links back to the main website. What kind of value for the main domain would this potentially achieve. What are peopLes thoughts on this idea?

Well, after careful consideration, I passed on the idea for many of the reasons you mentioned, although the primary reason was the cost benefit analysis.
The idea if others want to use it and provide me a link for the idea, it is below.
The idea is based on the "The Day in the Life of America" project done in the 1980's where they had 500 photographers take pictures on one single day and then they created a book. (There was no internet or digital photographers back then)
Anyway, the idea was going to be called "Triple Eleven" for 11/11/11. The idea was to launch a site which allowed people to upload photos taken on 11/11/11, input their location, time and a description. Then after the 11th, let the public vote and choose the best picture.
I thought this could have very real viral implications if promoted correctly and by offering a great prize.
Thanks again for the input.

Fidelity One,
First, maybe yes, maybe no.... Good that it is white hat though.
Assuming your interior pages have importance to someone making a query regarding the product,
Assuming the "unrelated links" are not Casino Envy, ProSportsTips, etc. and have at least some form of business purpose (certain directory sites) etc.,
Assuming your links to promo sites, etc. are reasonable and within the rules...
They could provide some assist to the main domain over time. How much is dependent on way too many factors based on what you have given us. If you are looking at should I/should I not, I would say it is really dependent on how secure you are in the belief all is on the up and up, and how much effort you have to expend for the potential return.
If the site is up tight on on site, on page, etc. has great content, etc. has a relevant set of pages based on likely (researched) queries, etc. and the only thing left is trying this magic..... Try it in small doses and monitor it.But, that is just an opinion...... Let us know how it works out and then when successful I want to see the youmoz blog on your technique!

Should we get link from dated page with high PA/DA?
We have an unlinked mention on a page that has dated content about an old event but the page and site have a good PA and DA score. Is it worth it to go for the link? Thanks.

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

Should I link from my blog back to my product pages?
Hello... I just installed a blog on my Magento site. My question is whether or not i should be linking within posts on the blog back to the product or category pages that i am talking about...from an SEO perspective. If in my post i am talking about flashlights being important when preparing for a storm, should i link the word flashlights to the flashlight category on my site? I know I can do this, the question is should i, from google's perspective. A) should i link the word (flashlights) to that category on my page B) should i put a line at the bottom of every post that says something like "if you are interested in purchasing flashlights, visit this link" and hyperlink that whole sentence... THANKS!

How do websites get links here...
Does anyone know how people get into the "Top Links on This Topic" section of the Huffington Post? I can see that the "Around the Web" section is curated by someone, in this case "Jeff Muskus" but there is no indication how the Top Links on This Topic appear on a page. The only thing I noticed is that the original article appearing in HP is almost a year older than any of the referenced links.

Is purchasing internal page links from directories worth it?
Since data suggests that only the first link on a page to a singular URL is counted, are the deep links purchased from directories worth the money/provide any value?

Is it worth it to link to sites that link to you in guest posts?
Suppose you published a guest post on a quality site and you link to a previous guest post you have written for another site (which links to you). In theory you could send link juice to the page that links to you for a second order effect. Has anyone seen results from this tactic?

Do VigLink links get indexed, and then pass SEO juice to the merchant?
You can find the service at viglink.com, they do dynamic linking to anchor text for participating publishers on a cost-per-click basis. Less interested here in the conversion quality and more interested in the broad SEO value. Any ideas?
