Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks, Bryan!

I am already looking for Guest Post opportunities to build more High Quality Backlinks. The articles recommendations are very good also! Thanks.

Thanks for the answer, Justen!

I ask this because I've got a Spam Score 7/17. I will show the flags and what I am willing to do to remove them. We are an e-commerce and have a blog too.

- **Low MozTrust or MozRank Score **(?????)

- **Large Site with Few Links **(look for more partnerships to build a more consistently Linking Building strategy, one way I thought was Sidebar Backlinks that was a strategy used before)

- **Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains **(maybe start using more nofollow in the links from our blog to the store?)

- Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (since the beginning we only used Do Follow)

**- Small Proportion of Branded Links **(here I think in using the brand's name in the anchor text when the bloggers post something about my store)

- Thin Content (this doesn't makes sense to me)

- Low Number of Pages Found (Google has almost every page indexed, so again, this doesn't makes sense to me)

Are my actions correct? Is this the proper way to solve this Spam Score problem?

Hello!

Let's use the following example:

I have a blog (let's call it Blog A) and I find another blog in the same niche (this will be Blog B) that has higher DA and PA than mine. Will Google penalize me if the Blog B puts a link to my blog in their sidebar?

Remember, the Blog A and Blog B are from the same niche.

I ask this because Google says that links on sidebars appears in every page and in some pages the link may be useless. But if both blogs are from the same niche, there won't be pages where the links will be from different themes and with less relevance.

So, is my thought correct: we can use sidebar links without caring about penalization ONLY if the blogs are from the same niche?

Thanks in advance!
