Confused over PRWeb and it's Moz PA/DA
-
Hi
I was looking at using PRWeb for some link building, however I have read quite a few articles bemoaning it and saying it carries very little, if any weight with Google. I am therefore confused that in Moz it has a DA of 90 (!) and a PA of 38, with a spam score of 1%. Are these negative articles wrong...is Moz ranking it wrong...or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere along the line?!
Thanks
Bob

Hello
Domain Authority in Moz is Moz's own score of your site/site health and it's backlink profile. Google has its own ways of grading your site.
Google is not affected by Moz's domain authority score but it my experience, a higher domain authority has correlated with higher rankings and more traffic.

Very old site wanting a revamp - how to handle all the redirects/URL changes
Hi all, I have a very very old site, that requires a facelift (going from an old clunky CMS to wordpress). A problem I know I am going to face is that this site has a very poor URL structure (www.site.com/section/1/section/ etc) which I plan on cleaning up. but how do I handle the 100+ backlinks this website has point to such links? If someone could point me in the direction of an article or such that would be great. Thanks,

Should blogger award badges/links be nofollowed?
I'm pretty sure the answer to this will be a big yes. Obviously this is a tactic that can be gamed quite easily, but I wanted to know if there are any clear guidelines on this. We've done a post about the most influential food bloggers using our own tool, so there's proper data behind the top ten. We wanted to reach out and let them know, give them a badge to include that might drive a bit of traffic and raise some brand awareness. That's why the question has come up as we want to make sure we advise the bloggers properly if a nofollow is best practice.

Say another site has the revese, a DA of 34 and a PA of 20. All things being equal, which site's link to me would be better?

How would one get on the Huff Po's "Around the Web" list?
On the huffington post they often have lists of links related to the article, near the bottom just before the comments. This section, when present, is called "Around the Web". See this as an example: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-bacon-phd-ma-ma/health-at-every-size_b_1314339.html Do the article authors choose these links, or are they auto-generated somehow? I had a relatively small competitor appear here, so I'm wondering if there are any tricks to gett included. Thanks! Edited to add hyperlink
