Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A 301 is simply a message to say that the page has permamently moved. There is nothing wrong with redirecting them all to a single page, infact google even advises the use of 301 redirects.

As has been said, directories are a given (even people who are not concerned with SEO will still use directories) you will need to think outside of the box. I like to think of it more like PR, link building for me is a social aspect that involves forming relationships with website owners, bloggers, writers etc. Try to focus on establishing a 'web presence' as a whole for the website you are promoting.

I'm not sure what industry you are in but obviously some industries will be very difficult to crack on the web (eg SEO, web development, networking, business).

The other replies here have been spot on so I will only add something on the side.

You need to use link building in the most natural form possible. Instead of trying to focus your links to /business-class.php you need to spread it throughout your website with a large variation of anchortext not forgetting about long tail keywords aswell.

I assume he has his own reasons for the redirect but yes - that site is loading painfully slow.

I completely agree and yes this is just my opinion however I am concerned that for example .gov sites etc are the exception and not the rule. I think if you were deciding wether to have a link from a .gov or .edu site then yes it would be beneficial however if it is just a 'trustworthy' domain the impact would depend on far more factors (topical) than simply the trust that the domain holds.

Sounds good EGOL but do you think the same amount of trust is gained from a page that is linking to enough pages that there is no longer has link juice to give (assuming that is the case)?

In my opinion, no. I would assume that if the DA is that high and the PA is that low then that page is already linking to a large number of other pages and that it does not have much more link authority to pass.

Can you explain the new pages a little more please? If they are new pages created on a domain that has been listed as 'suspended' then surely they will also be dropped from the SERP? If they were indexed and are now not indexed then someone at google has pulled the plug. Some more information for you webmaster guidelines

Completely agree with you, a site I am about to begin working on www.writeawill.co is ranked on the first page of Yahoo search for 'write a will' even when at the time it had no inbound links and no on-site SEO. The owner simply used a WYSIWYG tool and submitted in to the search engines.

I assume you are using a 301 redirect for this (moved permanently)? Provided the correct redirects are in place there is no reason why your SEO should suffer.

What I do personally is use Feed Burner and Twitter Feed. With these I can post articles etc. on my blog page (wordpress) and have it automatically update my RSS (Feed Burner), Twitter and Facebook pages.
