Is it better to link back to the root domain, or the specific page you're optimizing for?
-
I'm working on a project our site - building links for iPhone Repair.
For the term "iphone repair miami" - is it more ideal to link to the root domain (xxx.com) or to the subpage that is about iPhone Repair (xxx.com/iphone-repair)?
I would imagine the latter - but obviously that page has less authority than the root.
Thanks!

In my opinion this would depend on whether or not your going after this as your primary keyword. I co-own a site that sells custom t-shirts. The phrase "custom t-shirts" has always driven the most volume and conversion so we optimize our homepage for it. If your website is a camera shop and you are launching into iPhone repair or something like that I would be more inclined to link it down to the subpage. So in my opinion if this is one of the top 2 or 3 keywords you are targeting I would go root domain. If it is something less than that I would break it down to the subdomain where you can add better supporting content.

Hi There,
I'm not an expert in SEO yet, so please don't shoot me if I'm wrong. Unless you have a 1 page website or your home page is mainly concentrated on "iphone repair" then it is better to link to a page like www.mysite.com/iphone-repair
In google search results a URL is displayed, and I believe that people often times notice that and would prefer to click on something that would take them directly to the page that seems like what they're looking for instead of a homepage.

Any advantage spreading linked-back articles vs concentrating them?
I have had good luck getting a reputable ezine in my field to publish my articles, and they always link back to my site. Would I do better SEO-wise to spread my articles among several different ezines?

Is anybody else noticing a dramatic change to their 'links to your site' section in Google Webmaster Tools?
Hey,
Link Building | | ChrisHolgate
Over the last six months or so we've been going through our backlink profile and cleaning up links from poor quality sources. Week by week there have been small changes in our Google Webmaster Tools 'links to your site' section to reflect this. I logged on this morning however and there has been a dramatic shift in the information displayed. Pretty much every bad link has been removed from the list including sites I know for a fact are still linking to us as they didn't communicate at all to our removal requests. Additionally, rather than showing the top 1000 links to our site as it used to, WMT is only showing 73 linking domains. The remaining 73 domains are good natural links from high quality sources. I'm guessing Google are just in the middle of an update and that the remaining linking domains (including the bad ones) will reappear shortly. This isn’t a request for advice or help but I’m just curious as to whether anybody else is seeing anything similar?0 -
Is a no-follow link/sponsored link a good editorial link?
Ok maybe this is a dumb question. I really need some better, more quality backlinks pointing to my site. There is a site that has domain authority of 72, page rank 5 that is offering me a sponsored blog post. Do sponsored posts count as a good editorial link? Also what if they are no-follow (and how would I find out ahead of time), does that still give me link juice?

301 to main page or deeper page for best 'link juice'.
I have two rafting websites. One ranks high for one set of keywords. The other ranks okay for a different set. I want to redirect the whole second site to the first to give the first more link juice and hopefully lift the first site even more in the rankings. Would it be better to link to a deeper page of the 1st site. I have a page that does well for some long tail keywords or would it be better to link to the main page. Or is it a bad idea over all.
