Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am starting a blogging competition for my website visitors. How can I use this to help SEO to my site?

When I type 'plumbing courses' into Google, why does Able Skills with these statistics: Page Authority: 57,
2,752 Links from 330 Root Domains
Domain Authority: 52,
575,594 Links from 1,211 Root Domains rank below other pages with inferior statistics?

I created a link on my Google Plus page under the recommended links with the relevant anchor text and url. It turns out that this is a do-follow link from a webpage with a Page Rank of 8. Is this just too good to be true or have Google genuinely missed something?

A question about the value of Squidoo.

Hello, I noticed that this onepage website: http://www.clearpixel.net/ ranks at #11 for web design London so I did some research using SEO Moz Pro. Turns out that alll their links are from Chinese directory style sites. Does this demonstrate black hat SEO? If not, how do I go about getting links on Chinese sites with .gov urls. Many thanks, Martin Hofschroer
