How Useful is this website for Linkbuilding
-
I've been looking at A to Z of materials trying to determine how much time it is worth spending on building a company profile and adding additional information
http://www.azom.com/suppliers.aspx?SupplierID=2343
DA is 50+ and PA for a new listing seems to be 17 of so. My site currently has a DA of about 20. Once of my competitors seems to have put a lot of time into it
Other than a profile you can also write articles and post news. It's worth pointing out that as a whole the sector has no useful blogs and most linkbuilding is done via directory listings. And Most companies have back links from less than 20 other root domains.
Thoughts would be gratefully received

Thanks for posting those sites. They charge a fee but hopefully worth the money if they can help with better rankings.

Hi Zippy-Bungle,
Personally I think it's definitely worth it. It's great if you've found a vertical directory that lists companies in your relevant industry! When I built my site, there weren't any great backlink opportunities immediately available, so I created business profiles in the few general directories recommended in the book Rand Fishkin co-wrote 'Art of SEO'. These were BOTW, JoeAnt and Yahoo's Directory. I pretty much saw the effect these links had in about a month or so, bringing up my brand-new site up to the first page for bunch of semi-competitive keywords.
Because my site is an online marketplace, I couldn't find any good vertical directories. If your business has a relevant vertical directory like azom.com, go for it! Besides the backlink, they could also bring you organic leads too!
Hope this helps!

The directory appears to be in good standing with Google. Decent PR, lots of indexed pages, etc. You're safe creating a profile here, and if you're noticing competitors use it who are performing better than you in this space, it seems like it's something that's worth spending some time on.

What are he benefits of getting 200+ links from DA 40+ non-relevant websites?
I have a client who has an opportunity to sponsor a prestigious national organisation. In return, they will get 200+ links from the websites of the organisation's members. Most of which are DA 40+.None of the linking sites have any relevance to my client's industry.1) How likely do you think it is that Google will view these as paid links?2) Do you feel that there is potential harm in gaining this many non-relevant links in a short time-frame?3) The client wants me to quantify the ranking benefits of gaining these links and calculate a potential ROI. If that's even possible, how would you go about that?Thanks in advance

Does google will see this has a 301 permanent redirect and will penalized my website?
Hi, I got a website that have a lot of information on job posting. The domain name will be new but i just want to redirect all of the old single job pages (around 300 pages). To the new domain pages but keep the old domain because it's already been indexed by google. The design will change but the content will kinda be the same. Is this a good approach? Does google will see this has a 301 permanent redirect and will penalized my website? Thanks alot

Why does my infographic rank better on other websites than my own?
I recently created an infographic that was quite popular in my niche and a lot of people linked to it and embedded it on their own sites. Now, if you search the term I was trying to rank for, everybody who linked to me ranks higher than the page that everyone is linking to and it's the page where the original graphic was posted. According to SEOmoz, I have the highest Domain and Page Authority than everyone else in front of me. How the hell is this possible? If you want to see for yourself, just type in "hot tub yoga" into Google and I'm on the second page, http://www.swimuniversity.com/blog/hot-tub-yoga-infographic I would love some help on this and I thank you all in advance.

Is using a tool such as My Blog Guest worth it?
I saw the post http://www.seomoz.org/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services and saw that MyBlogGuest seems like a good link building service, so I signed up. It really is confusing though, it almost makes me think I have to install WP Blogs on my sites which primarily run in Joomla, so linking directly to the blog is not an option. Okay, fine, so I'll just skip the part about putting in offers on other people's posts. I really signed up for the link building part of it anyways. So, now, I just write content in the site-used article generator? Then, go in and offer it manually to people? Doesn't really strike me as some super powerful method of linkbuilding, but there's a good chance I'm missing something. If this is the case, I'd assume I'd have to write content that is relevant to the site that I am trying to build links for, and then place links back to that site, so basically I want my posts on competitors sites and that will help out with backlinks and authority? It's really confusing. I just want to have my content writer write good content and get links from it, and this method just confuses me. I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who has used that service or can recommend something easier or better.
