Is there a crowd-sourced and up-to-date list of do-follow social bookmarking sites?
-
It's always frustrating to do a search for something like "do-follow social bookmarking sites", find a list and then find out through trial/error that many of them have switched to no-follow, are no longer around, etc.
That's why I thought a crowd-sourced list might be more interesting and up-to-date. Any thoughts?

There is http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/22-dofollow-social-media-sites-offering-profile-links.html which has updates provided in the comments.
SEOMoz also provides a good resource at: http://www.seomoz.org/article/social-media-marketing-tactics#101-social-media-sites
Both of these are mentioned in the book The Art of SEO

... oh... now, that's the list I want my competitor to be on... let's start a list!

Sorry, I don't have any ideas for you. My experience (being a moderator of a site that gets on one of those lists) with those lists is that they're outdated or incorrect when published, or that the sites that are on those list make the comments/submissions nofollow because they're tired of being spammed because they are on those lists.
-
I don't disagree with the sentiment but have never actually had any trouble with this. For these types of subpages/landing pages, I don't need thousands of links to rank well -- generally a limited number with the right anchor text.
Any ideas on a crowsourced or up-to-date list or does this not seem to exist?
-
Taking one step back, realize that a site (or a specific set of pages) that has all or almost all links without a nofollow attribute isn't showing a normal link profile. Normal sites will get a mix of inlinks that are followed and nofollowed, so you don't want to stick out that way.

In my opinion, the way to use social media is to produce best-on-the-web content and then introduce it to sites like slashdot, reddit, stumbleupon and let the crowd there decide if it is worthy. If you have really good content it will bring a lot of traffic from those sites and that traffic will produce a lot of links, likes, tweets and bookmrks without any effort from you. The difficulty is producing the right type of content.
The problem with bookmarking is that thousands of webmasters each have a very large number of products and each want a very large number of bookmark links into them. That makes those links worthless.
-
Well I'm open to other suggestions but I see social bookmarking as one of the few ways to get anchor-specific links to a wide variety of subpages.
My situation is that I have created several dozen landing pages for specific keywords. To get these to rank really well, I need those types of links. Because they are primarily landing pages, it's unlikely that they are going to generate many natural links. And with several dozen of them, I need a process that's easily repeatable and social bookmarking seems like a reasonable part of that process. Other ideas?
-
I think that it would do me more good if we sent it to my competitor.
I don't think that doing social bookmarking for links is a profitable use of time.

Spammy links redirecting to homepage of site -
Hey guys, I'm auditing a website at the moment and Moz is showing a few spammy links linking to it. The problem is these domains are all 301 redirecting to the domain I'm auditing. Let's say I'm auditing Site A. Site B is been flagged in Moz OSE with 12 spam flags. When I try to open Site B in a browser, it redirects back to Site A. What's the best thing to do, here? Disavowing domains redirecting to the site is surely a bad idea? Cheers.

Linking Between Sites
Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing well. If a company owns several different websites that are supposed to be different brands but are part of the same niche/sector is it OK to link between them? Or would this be seen as violation? Thanks

Best On-Site Internal Linking Practices?
Hi everyone, Our company works extensively with ecommerce website, and we're beginning to wonder with all of the impending Google updates what our best bets for internal linking practices will be, in particular when it comes to menu options. We typically set up our navigation with top-level categories in the main menu, then drop downs to the sub-category level pages. Our question is, should the links in the drop-down menus be followed, and if so, should they be followed links across all pages of the website, or just on the homepage menu list, or not at all? We're trying to figure out what will pass the most internal linking power without being too much and overly "spammy," I guess. Thanks for your input!

Best way to set up a support site - sub domain, separate site or com/support?
My company is setting up our support site. It has been suggested that we set it up as a separate domain - www.company-support.com, rather than setting it up as a sub-domain (www.support.company.com) or the usual www.company.com/support. The person who proposed this believes it wlll create link juice, but i wonder if splitting the traffic will create more harm than good? Opinions please!

How to Add Content to a Product-Focused Site
I recently took over management of the SEO work for the following site: http://www.grovercorp.com/rings-and-seals/. I want to do link building, but don't have a ton of experience with it. From what I've read, offering linkable content is the best way to get links. However, this site -- like many in industrial B-2-B -- is focused primarily on promoting their products. I'd like tto offer an article or add an infographic, but am not sure where I would put it? It doesn't seem like the architecture offers a good place to add linkable content. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
