Backlink from unrelated blogs
More than likely this site isn't going to be very valuable to you. Google is placing less value on those sites where links that are easy to get, are filled with spammy articles, and have no relevance. Basically, your article and link will be judged based on the site that contains it. But, I don't think one single site is going to hurt you. Test it out and see what happens. You will absolutely get better value and results by focusing your efforts on relevant sites and those that require a little more effort, like on Bluff magazines website.

Backlinks from foreign language websites?
Hi there, In order to rank for specific languages and countries is important that you build a crawlable and indexable site structure, with their own URLs that will be ranked (the Google translate plugin won't help you with this), with optimized content for each one of them, and after, you build links from sites in these countries towards them. Remember the fundamentals of SEO: Is Relevance (relevant text content that is indexed and optimized) and popularity (links, citations, references). Please take a look at this presentation I did a month ago that will take you through the most important aspects of the process: from researching the best way you should target the audiences (language vs. country targeting), the best type of web structure for your international versions (ccTLDs, subdirectories or subdomains), the usage of specific annotations in order to tell Google the content is in a specific language (hreflang tags), and then of course, identify the appropriate relevant sources for each country to build links from, etc. To go more in depth with your international SEO strategy, take a look at this post, where I also share some dos and don'ts and finally, these recommendations to take into consideration when developing your international web versions. As you can see, this cannot be achieved with plugins to automatically translate content, is a real investment to identify the best language / country opportunity and then develop a whole site structure targeting them, this is why it's very important to validate well at the beginning and do a in depth research, so it's cost effective and help you effectively achieve your international SEO goals. Thanks, Aleyda

PR directories good for seo?
Hi MM, Here are the resources I usually hand to beginning link builders to get them started: http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies http://www.linkbuildingbook.com/link-building-resources.html http://www.clockworkpirate.com/ http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/link-building It should take you a year of full time link building to truly go after all of the strategies listed in the first 3 resources, and all of them contain tactics that you can use indefinitely. The important I'd focus on is keeping a steady pace of content creation and outreach efforts, diversification of your strategies, and avoiding anything that feels spammy (because that's a good sign that it's a low value tactic). Feel free to ask any questions here, but that should get you started!
