Inbound Links - will it benefit?
-
Hello everyone!
Just a quick question about inbound links!
I managed to be listed as a guest writer on a blog and I am allowed to publish two articles (maybe more if I had more time to write) on it with one link for each article.
The blog has a very good PR compared to my PR2 site.
My website is an e-commerce site and I was thinking to build few links pointing to different pages of the site, but because links come from the same domain will it benefit?
By the way there is not link exchange or anything, I get a link for the articles I publish.
Cheers
Oscar

Hi Some 'bigger picture' questions to consider...
- Is the blog a relevant, high traffic one that may send referrals?
- Does the site have a very good moderation policy, and only allow great content?
- Are you going to be providing great content that pulls the reader in and makes them want to read more?
If the answers to the above are positive ones, that I would say that it is worth writing for the site. I would recommend linking naturally, and try to negotiate Google Authorship of your posts
- Add the site to your Google Plus account in the 'contributor to' section
- Add a link back to your profile, with the correct rel=author tag
As I recently mentioned in another question a few moments ago, I would also recommend setting an advanced segment up in Google Analytics to check for referrals from the blog and, perhaps more importantly, goal conversions from visitors this blog has referred.
If you are thinking about this from a pure 'rankings' point of view, all I would really recommend is a shift in the though process Google is evolving, so it's important to do the same
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply.
My only concern is that different links coming from the same website might not pass juice and could be seen as just one and all the effort of writing articles and everything might be useless

Just make sure that your posts are relevant to the blog you are posting on and that the links match the blog post you are writing. In terms of the benefit, because they are going to different pages on your website there is some benefit to be had.

How much time does it take for the links to be forwarded to redirected link?
Hi there,
Link Building | | MoeezLodhi
Thank you for taking out some time for this question; I have changed the permalinks last week for a website.. I forgot to redirect old permalinks to the new one.. So I did 301 redirection, it has been 4-5 days since I did that but the links are not forwarded to the new Permalink so far.
How much time should I wait for the links to be forwarded to the new permalinks? Secondly, I am sure I have done the 301 redirect correctly, as when I go to the old url / permalink it directs me to the new permalink. So I am sure 301 is done correctly. Do I need to submit the sitemap again?0 -

JavaScript is crawled by search engines, isn’t it? Does it mean that links embedded in JavaScript pass link juice?
I wonder If links embedded in JavaScript from an external Website pass link juice to the linked page and thus have a positive effect on google rankings. I read that JavaScipt is craweld. Does it mean that also the link juice is passed? I'm looking forward to your answers.

How might Google differentiate between an artificial link exchange and partners linking to each other?
Hi, All! Artificial link exchanges (contacting a vaguely connected site and requesting to exchange links to increase your PR) is, as far as I know, considered an outdated, not-so-smart technique, as Google might devalue them. Yet, for real business partners to exchange links seems to be an entirely accepted and encouraged technique. While that would be intuitive to a human who's viewing the pages. how might Google detect when two sites that link to each other are linking because they are trusted business associates (valuable) as opposed to when they are doing a link exchange (devalued)? Thanks! Aviva

Total Links vs Ext. Followed Links
Hi I'm fairly new to SEO and SEOMOZ. I've created a campaign for my own site and I've added 3 competitor sites. There are 1,385 total links to my site and a massive 49,450 links to one of my competitor's site. However under "Ext. Followed Links", there are 1,045 to my site and only 911 to the same competitor site. Am I correct that it is the "Ext. Followed Links" which are more important from an SEO point of view as the other links have the "no follow" attribute set? Or have I got this wrong? Thanks James

Links and keywords
A rather simple question, If i have a paragraph and have the words cat, dog and bird would it be a good idea to have them all linking to the same url? or is better to have them all going to different urls?
