What do you think of these mozbar stats?

PA: 50 / mR: 5.39 / mT: 5.56 / DA: 41

Would you say from a website point of view these are ok stats and a guest post on here would be ok?

If the only thing that you are looking at is this set of numbers or a Google PR, then, OK. I would give consideration to whether or not it is germane to what you are doing. If it is a guest post on a site for Happy Better Sex Gambling and your site is religious, it is probably not best. So, given the distance between those two examples, you have to decide what works in it for you.

Hope that helps.

Cheers for reply.

I understand that the referring traffic would not find the site relevant in your example but would it still give some sort of benefit regarding link building?

Lets say my competition all have low scores regarding the mozbar (me included) so PA:12 / mR:3.49 / mT:3.29 / DA:17 would you say gaining links from guest blogging (even if the sites are not relevant) will still doing something?

I would only shoot for a link or a guest blog post if you think the site is relevant. If you think that the website is a good one, and you can find a way to spin your guest blog post to make it relevant for that site and also tie in your link, go for it.

As long as its related to your field, then yeah.  I'd also take a look to see if a link from here will generate either reoccurring traffic or a sale.  It gets monotonous when you link build without any benefits in the near future.

For example:

I received immediate traffic and achieved goals from a low quality blog with a lot of followers.

If the site is not relevant, I would do as Anthony suggests and try to spin it to be relevant. Yes, some links from non relevant will give positive effect, but remember: Most people want to do link building the easy way, if you do it the right way you will end up ahead of them.

The best written info on link building (that is still reasonably concise) is contained on this site. Here is the link: SEOmoz Article - Pro Guide to Link Building

Here is a good post on directories by Cyrus Shepherd: Conquer Link Directories

Again, Do it right for the long term. If you need a bit of immediate punch a few ??? links won't hurt you. Too many will. Also, try submitting to DMOZ and consider Yahoo Directory submission if it is that important for immediacy's sake.
