      Hi,  We have had a few new links for a client and we are hoping that we can get some feedback on whether these have any link juice.  We dont want to waste our time with links that dont benefit the website.  Thanks

        Hi Carrie,

        You can use tools such as Moz's Link Explorer to vet the quality of these links. I would also make sure they're topically relevant to your client's site. If so, you're probably okay.

        Best,

        Paul

          Hi there,

          There is a lot more to this question which probably goes outside of Q&A, but here are a few points on the links that you've shared:

          • The blog posts don't appear to be written by real authors, they appear to be blogs that are made just to link to Results Plan, so while they may pass some link equity, I'm not sure that they are going to be seen by Google as high quality
          • The anchor text used on all links is clearly keyword driven. This in itself isn't necessarily a big problem (the whole link profile would need looking at to assess that) but again, it implies that the blogs are built just for link building purposes
          • The blogs don't appear to be getting much engagement such as social shares and comments which indicates that they may not get a lot of traffic, so you're also unlikely to get real traffic clicking through to the website

          Overall, as I said, more work would be needed to make a full assessment, but looking at these sample links, I'm not sure I'd be recommending building lots of links like this.

          Hope that helps.

          Paddy
