Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Link building is the way to increase your domain authority. Generally links to any part of your website will slowly push your DA up. So continue getting quality links and wait for the next few updates to see your DA go up. I wouldn't fuss it if your site doesn't have a high DA or links aren't being found. Google will most likely have them indexed anyway.

Honestly, it varies so much based on your niche, your domain strength, nature of the keyword(s), your competition, types of results returned. Do you see local search results showing up ? How strong is your domain ? How competitive are the keywords ?

Yes, that's right. What you'd end up with is a small list of URLs that have nofollow anywhere/somewhere on the page. If it's a big list of 5000 links and this tool can trim it down to maybe 200 having nofollow somewhere or 500 or 2000. In either case, it's a small list. Definitely not a solution to what you are looking for.

Thanks Robert, I''m actually trying to remedy the situation right now. I've asked the webmaster to please remove our link and I've also adjust the blog post that I wrote and removed the link to their site. I am pushing the organization that I currently work for to go in the direction of content creation and content marketing. It's just hard to convince the sales dept not to blatantly sell in their posts. It's also hard to convince management to have patience. Do you have an financial sites in your network that would be interested in an article about merchant fees? I'm writing that right now. -Brandon

Thank you!

Hey Guys, Thanks for that I think I'm going to start them today. Relationship building, I think I will keep that in mind. I'm going to go through our photos now and get them all organised. We're also doing a press kit and will start pushing travel bloggers and newspaper writers to come down and do stories on us. The place is beautiful and the history is pretty special so I'll push that too. I was sitting here trying to think of sites to request links on but I guess thats an outdated way of thinking about it. Thanks Guys!

I agree. The text is too over-optimized. It might scare customers aware because it is not so natural sounding.

Use Open Site Explorer on your research tools, find the competitors that are ranking at the top and see the types of links they have. Remember to use branded terms as well as the odd anchor text though!

If you don't mind, stop by and let us all know how this works for you. I'm curious myself.

Thank you very much Scott, I am not familiar with htaccess files so I guess I will try out the plugin Thank you very much Scott!

I think those keywords are all too similar to try to differentiate them on separate landing pages.  I mean, with well written homepage copy and a few links,  that one page should rank for all three terms-- "movers", "moving company", and "moving companies" when combined with "Tulsa".  Do some additional keyword research to help you know what concepts you should center copy on for your other pages--it seems like your focus is very narrow, to me. If you're going after local, focus a lot of effort on your G+ Business Page and on building that profile.

Thanks for the really helpful response, I'll do that and talk to the client about the domain change. Much appreciated.

Link building is still the way to go, here is a good site with a lot of ideas: http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies

I would not use a third party company to write about products or services that I sell You know you business well, and you know the in and outs of it better than anyone else Just start a blog and keep posting something relavant everyday, soon you will have good rankings for it.

Nice, thanks very much for the update.

Did SEOMOZ pick the right keyword for your page? I've had SEOMOZ tell me a page was a F after picking the wrong keyword. Once I picked the right keyword the same page got an A.

Am I right in thinking the most important link building factor is the number of unique linking root domains? One link from the Pope's site will be worth 10,000 links from spam blogs. Multiple links from a domain won't help me so much? Again, it depends upon the domain.   But, if you have multiple links from a very high quality site it will benefit you more than one link from that site.  And, if those links hit multiple pages on your site then each of those pages will get measurable benefit... and that benefit, I believe, will flow through your entire site.

You can always apply to become an editor yourself. That way, you can add your link yourself.

I agree with what Tom said. It depends on your website. If it doesn't have much traffic then you're better off posting on Squidoo or guest posting. Alternatively you could leave it on your own website and look for ways to promote it by reaching out to bloggers

I actually think it's more to do with branding than something to do with parsing link juice. About.com is a big brand and so having that branded shell/frame to an external site reminds the user how useful About.com has been to help them find the information.  "All hail About.com!" and so on and so on.
