Linked in public profiles
-
It seems that linked in is doing some type of redirect on their links, that block them from passing value to the connected site.
Is there anyway to get link value out of public LinkedIn profiles, or did they shut that down?
-
OK, I learned something today.
I looked closely. Linked in is using a temporary redirect, that apparently results in the same as a nofollow.
-
One of the tools I use to manage links is Caphyon - "Advanced Link Manger", that tool is report the link as a "NoFollow". I also noticed that LinkedIn is not coming up in the data provided for "Open Site Explorer" in none of the sites that I manage (site that i have Public Link in LinkedIn setup).
Do you feel that LinkedIn is passing Link Juice to your site?
Here is one of the profiles that should be working

I'm not seeing a connection in Webmaster tools for this either.

What makes you say this?
In my LinkedIn profile, I see this code in the link to my website:
Because that automatically redirects, and there is no "nofollow", it should work.

Spam links - what would you do?
Hello, A few months back our website was hacked which we noticed quickly and got fixed. However, there still is a lot of dodgy backlinks, linking to the spam pages. They come up in Webmaster Tools, Moz and SEM rush. According to the Moz Spam tool, a few of them have been given 7 flags which Moz suggests gives a 30% chance of being penalised by Google. The website has great rankings (position 1-3 in most targeted keywords) so I am scared of doing something that will harm the rankings, however I also aware that Google may do an update which could take these spam links into account. I have no experience of using the disavow tool but from reading up about it, it should only be used as a last resort. So my question is - what would you do?

Any benefits to having Wikipedia links now they are 'no-followed' (apart from traffic and natural link prof.)
I see that Wikipedia outbound links are all no-followed, is there any benefit (aside from the traffic) for having links here now ? For example is their co-citation and co-occurance benefits. I know there is without the links since from seeing previous Moz content about this saying Google getting good at connecting brand/s and topic mentions on a page (without any links) so appreciate Wikipedia is still good for that sort of thing. And a no-followed link is obviously good for the potential traffic. But is there any additional SEO benefit to having a no followed link on a wikipedia entry/stub too ? (aside from its contribution to your no-followed links which in turn contribute to a natural looking link profile) Cheers Dan

Reciprocal Link Dangers?
I know that there are issues with reciprocal linking, and I'd choose to avoid it if I could, but the circumstance I have been put into may require me to do so. Say we do it in the worst possible way. What is the worst case scenario here? Is it possible to be hit with a site-wide penalty? Is there a range of penalties? or you just get dinged or not? Will the links themselves simply be devalued? and by how much? they loose half their juice? All of it? And if you are penalized, how difficult would it be to recover? Can you just ditch the recips? or is it a lot more difficult than that? Obviously it has to do more with how you do it and what your site and the other site are like content-wise, but I just wanted to know what you think about the actual possible penalties and recovery. TIA for any answers.

When removing links should I be worried about bad links from websites that have already been deindexd from Google or should I think that since it is not in these index any more it cant do harm?

Link building
Hello all ! I would love some opinions about one Link Building technical aspect from SEOs, link builders ... How important is the number of outgoing links on the page you have the opportunity to place a link ? (from a scale of 1-10 / what about where dose this factor fits overall with your check list , as important to consider as far as link building) Would you place a link on a page with 200+ outgoing external links if the page is ok (not involved in selling links, all links are related with the subject, target page, anchor text etc) or you would go with a link on a 10-15 links per page but not that 'powerful' and not that related (not spammy but more general on the subject that can contain links to some other non related resources). Eg: Option 1: www.whatever-name.com/links.html the entire domain is about x. It has 250 links in that page (in the links.html) all links on the links.html pages are somehow related / resources with x. Your link can be placed with an anchor text related with x that will target a page on your site related with x. Domain page rank : 6 (as a general indicator), Page PR, the links.html one, PR: 2 Option 2: www.some-other-name.com/x-is-so-great the entire domain is NOT about x, just the page. It has 5..10 links in that page (external links more or less related with x - but not spammy) Your link can be placed with an anchor text related with x that will target a page on your site related with x. Domain page rank : 3 (as a general indicator), Page PR, the links.html one, PR: 1 What's your best option ? Thanks !
