App "Review" Website with DA of 58 - Good or Bad Link?

[Studio33]

Hi,

We have a web app.  All our competitors are on http://www.appappeal.com.  We can suggest ourselves here http://www.appappeal.com/contact/suggest.  If we get reviewed and the link is a follow link is this a good thing or a bad thing.  They call themselves a directory and you can pay to get a "priority" review.

Should we avoid or is it a good link as the DA is 58?

Hey,

You are coming at this from a slightly wrong perspective.

• Is your app good?
• Would people reading a review on this site be likely to buy your app?
• Is this site visible in search when people search for app reviews related to your app?

If the reviews are good and the site brings value then getting exposure on the site and a link as part of the bargain would most likely be a good thing.

If the site sucks and is a free for all with 15 word reviews in pigeon English then it may not be such a good thing but it would be unlikely to be harmful.

Forget the metrics for now. Think quality and exposure. If the site is highly visible and high quality and you get some exposure via this site and may get referral traffic as well then a link is likely to be a good thing whether it helps your SEO or not.

Hope that helps
Marcus
