Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We've recently been getting quite a bit of press.

Would it be wise to create a "press" page and link to mentions of us or would this devalue the links on the press pages as Google may think they reciprocal?

You can always apply to become an editor yourself. That way, you can add your link yourself.

Always remember that "relevancy" is a vital part of unique linking root domains.

If you have 1,000 links on 1,000 different "car" related domains, you might find it hard to rank your "pets" website.

About 7 months ago, I applied for a link at Dmoz.

This week, the link got approved. The only problem is that it seems there are hundreds of link directories that scrape Dmoz.

Open Site Explorer is now showing about 130 new links to my site that are essentially Dmoz scrapper sites.

Do you think Google will mistaken this as me buying directory links?
