Links from Nextag/PriceGrabber
-
I have a eCommerce store over BigCommerce platform. It is possible to sell via Shopping Comparison Sites like:
Nextag, PriceGrabber, Bizrate, Shopping.com,
If I decide to advertise my products over those sites, will it be consider a trust link for Google?
Our store is new and we don't have links referring to us, I need solutions. Also, there is a yellow pages site, http://www.yellowpages.ca/ that ask for monthly fees to advertise on there web site, advertising will be business name, addressee, phone number and web site, will it be a positive link for Google or just a paid link?
This is our store:
Thank you for your help and support,
BigBlaze

the higher the DA number the better, right?
-
Personally I would look first at the DA since this should provide insight into the domains strength on the web. I won't get into the metrics of how it is calculated since I would just be repeating the information that can already be found here -> http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/link-topics
Aim for high quality links on related sites and create link worthy content whenever possible and you shall see results!
Good luck

Just looking at the sites, it doesn't seem that these are high-value signals to Google (the Yellow Pages ads are triggered from Javascript and not likely crawled).
But, more importantly, this is less an SEO question than an overall marketing question. I wouldn't ask whether these are valuable to improve your ranking. It's really more a matter of whether they'll improve your business. If your customers use these sites to find information about your product, look at the cost of being there relative to the return it will generate to determine their value. They may not be good for SEO. But they may extend your brand's reach and need to be weighed against whether they're any good for your overall business.

New to SEO and using SEOmoz tools like the toolbar, can the number be useful in the toolbar for finding trust links. For example, the Root Domain number and the Page number what should I look for higher PA or DA or both?
Thank youy

While I'm not going to advocate the buying of links, I will say that in my opinion paying for a banner or text advertisement on high profile trusted and relevant site will not hurt your SEO goal at all. Where you have to be careful is the low quality 'spammy directories' that are dime a dozen out there.
For me it's pretty clear that you're not just buying a link, but advertising on a relevant business directory.

When buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? OSE not showing links
when buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? Sometimes the open site explorer doesn't show any links to the domain, especially if the domain is parked. Obviously a domain for sale with 1000 domains linking to it has lots of SEO Value right? Thanks mozzers!

Googles stance on Back Links via a Badge/Form
Hey guys, Does anyone know what Google's stance is on backlinks that come via a form, WordPress theme or badge. For example if I offer website security and provide badges for websites that are malware clean (with a back link to my website) and 100 websites sign up to my website will this be deemed as bad practice in Google's eyes? Also if I create a free WordPress theme with a backlink to myself? The second question sounds like I'm providing content for a link which seems okay but the first one can go either way. Thanks

If i get link pointing to a specific page , will that link add up to the count of linking root domains too ?
If I create a fresh link pointing to specific page on my site, apart from adding a number to "page linking root domains" does it also add up to root domain linking ?

Old links
I am looking to remove some old directory links that now look spammy. Some years ago the site was redesigned. The links are all to the old pages url, which is 301 redirected to the new. If we remove the 301 and let the page 404, will that suffice in Googles eyes?

Is it worth it to link to sites that link to you in guest posts?
Suppose you published a guest post on a quality site and you link to a previous guest post you have written for another site (which links to you). In theory you could send link juice to the page that links to you for a second order effect. Has anyone seen results from this tactic?

New ways to get links (excluding on site link bait)?
Fellow SEOs, I’m looking for a new way to reach out to bloggers and site owners for links. There are quite a few link bait techniques to lure bloggers thanks to = amazing content, infographics,...but there are not so many articles on ways to contact bloggers/webmasters and ask for links... We all know that contacting site owners directly and politely asking then to place a link on their home page is as useful as a comb in Bruce willis’s hand. Link exchange is as dead as the Dodo and business partner links are usefull and easier to get but opportunities are often limited. I have been organizing contests for bloggers recently and it has been quite successful up to now, but I always like to have a spare trick up my sleeve. So if any of you have a decent method to reach out to bloggers/webmaster and get decent links please let me know, I will be forever thankful ; ) Cheers

The Value Of A Link
Hi There, Let's say I am able to get a link from a very well trust worthy blog that writes abot things related to my business. Now my question is how much value does another link with the same anchor text, from the same blog has compared to the first link, or compared to a new link from a slightly less powerfull blog? Or in another words, if I got 1 link from this great website should I invest my time to find another website where I can get a link from or should I invest it in getting another link from the website I already got a link from ( which might be easier)?
