Link value
-
Hi
I have some links from blogs to our ecom website. My question is if anyone knows what happens if you have several different blogs on .blogspot linking in to you. Does that make them loose value because they are on the same domain? I can probably quite easily have 5-10 blogs on blogspot all with PA of 35-40 link in to us. Is it worth striving for or should i strive to get blogs that have their own domain to link into us instead ? Or equally important ?

Oh absolutely - not only blogs. I am starting to struggle though to come up with ideas as to which places to "aquire" links from. There are tons of catalogues but i am afraid to just add 10 of them at a time also.

It is for sure that the second link's value taht you get from a certain blog is slightly less than the first links value. First of all blogs are on a different subdomain. Subdomains are treated different than if you have links from more folders. Secondly, google owns the best engineers on Earth, i think they are quite are aware of the situation that a lot of blogs sit on the same root domain, however they have different owners. I personally did not do any tests according to this subject but this really has never been a question to me that these are treated as individual sites.

if the blogs are on different blogspot domains and they have seprate information than it will be fine.
Try and aim to acquire links from locations rather then just blogs

Hi Dan
There are potential pros and cons here:
Pro: those blogs on blogspot.com (Blogger) will be different sub-domains, e.g. example.blogspot.com and sample.blogspot.com Each one is treated as a seperate website, so they are essentially not on the same domain.
Con: a lot of blogs have NoFollow links by default, thus negating any link juice flowing out to your website.
So I wouldn't be concerned with a number of blogs all on blogspot pointing in to you. Though I would suggest ensuring that you have a healthy mix of Relevant good and high quality websites pointing to you on a variety of anchor text, best achieved by creating great content and distributing it well.
Also, check out a blog post published today on HubSpot entitled "The 8 Best Link-Building Tactics to Boost Off-Page SEO" questionable whether or not they are the best 8, though certainly some good ones there and it's worth a read.

Simon

How many links per week/month should a link building campaign acquire?
I am running a linkbuilding campaign for my company. I am mostly focusing on guest blogging opportunities and responding to emails from HARO. How many links would I have to acquire each week or month to be considered doing a good job over a 6 month or a year time period? Thank you,

Link from a directory
Hi, im submitting a clients website to some directories. They are a dental practice and I'm adding them to this website http://goo.gl/Tvyabd Once i added the business to its directory it asked me to add a link (in so many words) back to its website from my clients website. Is this ok to do or is it seen as spam? Im confused about this as sometimes directories are free and sometimes they ask for a fee for it to be fast tracked to put it on the website. I always check the Domain authority of the websites and make sure they are relevant to the industry that I'm working in but again not sure if this would be seen as "paying" for links. Thanks Ade

Thoughts on creating a resource/recommend links page in order to attain links?
Hey guys, Just wondering, how does Google view reciprocal link building nowadays? I've heard in the past that it's something that Google isn't particularly keen on. However, more recently, I've also read that - as long as the links are decent (and in moderation) - link exchanging is by no means a bad thing. The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of creating a "resource/recommended links page" for a client of mine. Because of their industry, it's really apparent that attaining links is often only possible if there is the opportunity of a reciprocal link in return. Therefore, I'd need to have a resource/recommend links page of my own. Is this something I should go ahead with to make it much easier to attain links? Or should I try to avoid reciprocal links and attempt to pinpoint one-way linking opportunities - even if they're thin on the ground? Any help much as appreciated as always. Cheers.

What link would be better?
Okay, I found a niche blog that has a google PR6. They have a ton of dollow blogroll links, as well as a ton of internal links on homepage. Would I be better off getting the blogroll link? Getting a link in an existing post with a lower PR? Getting an advertiorial written with a link in it? I just don't know. It has a domain authority of 33 currently. It's not a cheap link for blogroll. The in-post, or advertorial isn't too bad, but not cheap either. Thanks in advance.

Reciprocal Links Or One Way Links?
After reading a recent blog post on guest blogging and ways to build relationships for link building purposes, I began to wonder about something. It is my understanding that one way backlinks are superior to reciprocal linkage, but reciprocal is better than no link at all. So is it still worthwhile to do reciprocal guest blogging, and will the value of the links be worth it when completed? Or should we just be of the opinion that: One Way Link > Reciprocal > No link
