When do i use disallow links in WMT?
-
Hello, i have in Webmasters Tools 66 links to my website and i see many links of forums and blogs that copied the same post from another blogs, etc.. There are 2-3 always, i am not concerned but i don't know if i should use this tools to eliminate some links.
What do you think? When should i use this tool?
Thanks so much.

So, these are sites that scraped your post and then linked back to it? If that's the case, the links are good, in a sense - they help Google remove the duplicates. I'm not sure what you mean by "there are 2-3 always".
What does your link profile look like outside of this. If there are 66 links like this, and these are the only 66 links you have, it's possible you could be at risk. If these are 66 out of 6,000 links, then I probably wouldn't worry about it, especially if they're not paid links or somehow engineered (part of a link network, etc.).

Honestly without seeing the site or the links that you are talking about for me to tell you yes or no is impossible.
Unless you told me that you have purchased these links then I would disavow them.
It seems that if you're not concerned then it should not be an issue.
Are the links relevant to your site?
Are the links from any sites that have a strong domain rank?
Are any of the links no follows? (if so don't worry about them.)
If there forms and blogs that are related to your site that does not make them inherently evil. Nor does it make them so bad that they must be disavowed if they're just from any form or blog.
However if it there in any way shape or form set up to trick Google into ranking your site higher than it is then that's one worry about.

How do I find links that link to several competitor sites?
I want to find linking pages that link to several of my competitors. Those are likely to be lists of tools I can also add my website to. My application is a dashboard tool/kanban board. So if I find a page linking both to say kanbannery.com and kanbanflow.com it will be likely to be a collection of links to kanban tools, ad my application can be relatively easy added. Magestic SEO has a "clique hunter" - is there anything similar in MOZ suite of tools?

Any benefits to having Wikipedia links now they are 'no-followed' (apart from traffic and natural link prof.)
I see that Wikipedia outbound links are all no-followed, is there any benefit (aside from the traffic) for having links here now ? For example is their co-citation and co-occurance benefits. I know there is without the links since from seeing previous Moz content about this saying Google getting good at connecting brand/s and topic mentions on a page (without any links) so appreciate Wikipedia is still good for that sort of thing. And a no-followed link is obviously good for the potential traffic. But is there any additional SEO benefit to having a no followed link on a wikipedia entry/stub too ? (aside from its contribution to your no-followed links which in turn contribute to a natural looking link profile) Cheers Dan

Links or Redirect?
My client's company has just acquired another company in the same industry and with that acquisition came two websites; companyname.com and companyname.co.uk. companyname.com has PA13 and DA10, companyname.co.uk has PA15 and DA10. At the moment, the two companies are to be run as separate companies but will become fully merged in time. My client's own website is brand new (PA1 and DA) and I'm wondering what is the best way to use these other two sites to improve my client's search ranking. Should I use the two sites to link to my client (these would be logical and natural links e.g. explaining the acquisition, under new management) or would it simply be better to redirect the domains to the new site? Many thanks

Too many external links vs linking root domains - good or bad?
Hi guys, After the latest Linkscape update, we noticed that our website have 424,671 external links with 4,395 linking root domains, so roughly 100 links/domain. Does Google consider this to be a negative thing or we do not need to worry about it. Many thanks. David

Looking at Page Authority of a link to our website... what Page Authority number should we use in deciding the link is junk?
What are the Page Authority ranges? 1. Excellent link 2. Moderate 3. Total junk link Of course you look at the anchor text you can use, how many links are on the site, how often it is cached. Thoughts?
