Moosa, the post you have written is a good one, out of curiosity though, what are your thoughts on the positioning of the link in the body of a webpage? It has been said that a link at the top of the body content vs. down the bottom is more favourable? Is that something you agree with?
Samafaq, I'm a great believer that the best way to get links is through great content that is well marketed and publicised. This is not easy to achieve, but if it can be mastered and done effectively, it is usually what will produce natural links that best indicate to Google an authoritative site.

Short and sweet can't be beat. Here is THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO LINK BUILDING FOR BEGINNERS!!! It was right under your nose the whole time.
While that guide is great, especially for your purposes, the tactics you will employ vary by use case. So there isn't any one all-encompassing guide. It just requires some creativity once you're brilliant on the basics.

Why do the best ranking websites not seem to follow SEO best practice, particularly in terms of link building?
I work for an online retailer, which predominantly sells perfume products. In recent months, we have been spending more and more time on SEO, particularly in terms of improving our content, and as part of our strategy we have been working with beauty bloggers in particular (independent reviews, articles etc) to increase the number of links to our website. Whilst we’ve seen steady improvements, we are concerned that some of the key words/phrases we are targeting still aren’t ranking as high as we would like. Some weeks they will move up a few places, but more often than not, they will then move back down. We are more frustrated as we are seeing other websites, which are much poorer in terms of quality content, number of products, etc., ranking quite highly for these terms. From analysing these sites, it seems they are achieving their high ranking from having a considerable number of what appear to be poor quality links. We have been warned countless times to avoid link farms, etc., yet these sites have 100s even 1000s of links coming from suspect sites and it isn’t doing them any harm. Recently, we noticed a lot of our competitors are receiving links from websites such as LinkPartners. When we checked the website, we could see that whilst it appears to be a fairly SPAMMY website, its domain authority (67) is actually quite high. Should we base our decision about whether or not to place a link somewhere solely on how high their domain authority is, i.e. would it be more beneficial to us to have a link with what appears to be a link farm if their domain authority is high, than what appears to be a fantastic independent beauty blog with a low domain authority? Or should we avoid these sites whatever the circumstances? It’s slightly confusing for us as we are being warned about placing links on websites as google is apparently going to penalise us for it, but then we see our rival sites doing well by simply placing links everywhere they can.

Anchor Text Diversity Question
I had a general question, will I be penalized for using one anchor text 108 times? I did some reading and I read that Google will be less likely to penalize you if it is your brand name instead of like "make money fast" or another spammy type of anchor text? The anchor text that I used was our website name thanks.

Cant get no satisfaction: Backlink tools leave me frustrated
Bonjour from 7°C Overcast Wetherby Uk, I'm trying to get the backlink profile for a website that will tell me what inner pages are being linked too not just the home page but I'm not having any luck. Ive used Link Diagnosis but that just gives me a total backlink count, no good, I need to know what inner pages are being linked too. I then tried Yahoo Site Explorer but you can only use it know if you give them your mobile tel number for a windows live account, err no thanks! Ive also used the Site Exploerer API here via the dashboard but again no luck again 😞 [IMG]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/confused.jpg[/IMG] So my question is please; "Is there a Tool I can use to see what deeper pages on a site have backlinks" Thanks in advance,

What to do about bad backlinks hurting authority?
My site has many backlinks from 208.109.47.246/* and go.diaodou.com/* which have low authority. The 208.109.47.246 I believe is my godaddy IP and I don't know why I have the diadou links. Is there anything I can do about these links other than building other more reputable links? Could switching hosts or going to a dedicated IP solve the 208.109.47.246 issue? Here is a look at the links- http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.mueslifusion.com%252F/a!links Thanks,
