Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I see WPEngine now has a discount as pro member perk. I'm looking a superfast host for a wordpress site. Has anyone used WPEngine? or have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think theres only a few worth submitting too.. After that they just become increasingly low quality and spammy...so not sure I would bother!

yes..we all make mistakes...I've made many. It's good to learn from them and other peoples.

Thanks..Yes.. I will always test throughly.

Interesting responses. Thank you. Yes, I can see what you mean. These low quality links do not interest me. I beleive search engines are getting better all the time at discounting them.

I have not really valued toolbar PR as a major factor for valuing a link for a lonng time.

That must be annoying Istvan....No top trusted seed is going to link to junk..or at least highly unlikely

I'm eager to hear peoples experiences both good and bad with SEO Agencies. I have tried many. I'm particularly interested in hearing experiences of types of link building. In my experience many SEO agencies build low quality links, that at least in my view are unlikely to stand the test of time, with one or two expections.

This is often called 3 way linking...engines are getting better at picking up this sort of this all the time...I wouldn't do it for a site you have long term plans for. It might work, but chances are it won't stand the test of times.

oh that sounds like agood idea.. Did you find a scalable way to noindex them? Maybe a plugin?

I'm wondering post-panda if its wise to block access to blog post summary pages like this one:

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I know its not really an SEO question, but I'd thought i'd ask here to see if anyone can help.

Does anyone know any awesome wordpress template designers? I've been looking for a while, but i've not been able to find anyone awesome. I know it's going to cost, to get someone good.

seems something may have gone wrong, its showing 2200 root linking domains in the toolbar which is probably where the high da comes from.

Is there a best practice for linking out to affiliates URLs post panda? I know some believe it can be a factor.

yeah..theres majesticseo.com . You can put in your domain and it will show you a chart of how your links have grown over time. Hope this helps.

if you know the ip of the robot, I think you could deny it access in robots.txt

If they are timeless, i'd say go for pages. I'm not aware of any tools that show this..posts usually have a date, whereas pages don't, but it's not 100% as it depends on the template.

I think they do personally, some disagree though. Only google knows for sure.

If your looking to buy links...it might be worth getting listed in some of the directories.. Yahoo and BOTW are good. They are paid links, but they are generally considered whitehat. Also more places to get links from here: http://www.seomoz.org/directories

They might help a bit...but I wouldn't rule out googles algorithms picking them up as paid and removing their value. I think u have more chance if the you a lot of good whitehat links and the paid ones are only a small part of the profile. Your PA will probably go up a bit, but i wouldnt have though it would go up hugely as its only two links..tho it would depend on how competitive the niche is... 2 high quality links can make you own a niche that isnt competitive or wouldnt even scratch the surface if its a competitive niche.

I'm guessing there is no way to tell for sure a link has been crawled, if its not index?

I'd not thought of that.. good point. I was thinking they may not have been crawled

I dont think they count. What do you guys think?
