Metrics for guest posting
-
I have couple blogs willing to publish an article with a backlink to my site. I want to compare them. What SEO metric is the best to use for comparison: Domain Authority or Domain Domain Mozrank or DomainTrust? I want to choose a blog that will give me the most linkjuice
-
For counting them I would use Open Site Explorer, but you can also use Majestic SEO. David makes a good point about how "spammy" the site may/may not be, albeit this is a bit more subjective a call. So if the PA is one, then by all means look at DA, but also look at the site overall. Which do you think will give you more bang.
BTW - What type of blog? What vertical? (U don't have to name it, just in general).
-
I look at who the site links to in side bar etc and that its not a spammy site then DA and if i think ill get click thru traffic.
-
Thank you Robert. Yes, of course I understand that PA is more important than DA, however a new blogpost is posted on a new page where PA is 1.
Thanks for the advise about the number of links. Is there any tool that counts them automatically?
-
You will want Page and not domain. You would also want a page that has the fewest links on it. So, a page with a PA of say 40 with ten links will not give as much juice as a page with PA of 20 and only two links. (for those of you that are looking at this deeply, I am being basic). Another factor would be if any of the links leaving the page were noFollow, but for your question this is a good simple explanation.
So, if one site is handing out links like candy and the other is more prudent, but both are close in PA from the linking page, I would go with prudent. But, you could always go with both....

Collecting post codes / zip codes in Google Analytics - Terms of Service
Hi Mozzers, Just reading up on Google Analytic's Terms of Service and wondering if collecting post codes / zip codes (from a website's 'Find my nearest...' tool) adhere's to the following: "You will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the Service to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google." What do you think?

Woes in organic ranking... Post Penguin issue?
Hello all, First post here. Site:http://www.symbolphoto.com I'd done a ton of work to get my SEO where it needs to be, however, after looking at my traffic post April 15-22nd, it's gone completely downhill. I don't rank organically, which i'd like for one single term 'b*ston wedding photographer'. What am i missing? I'm assuming Penguin may be a part of this, but i haven't participated in any link schemes... am i being penalized and if so, is it evident why? Help is much appreciated! replace * with o.

Distribution of SEOMOZ Ranking Metrics across all Monitored Websites
Hi, I'm looking into building a tool which would incorporate SEOMOZ ranking metrics and I have a few questions with regard to the ranking data which will help me develop it correctly. I have done a few searches, for the information but haven't found an answer to these questions on seomoz - if they exist somewhere then I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. 1/. When looking at the values of metrics such as MozRank and DA, is there any information on how this values are distributed amongst the ranked website - EG The mean / median values of DA and MozRank etc of all websites monitored is X & Y . If there were any distribution graphs for these values then even better. 2/. Along the lines of the above - are there any online resources showing similar information for google PR? 3/. What is the calcuation used in the scale of MozRank and DA - ie We have a scale of 1-10 for these values - be we also know the scale in not linear but logrithmic - ie Double the Links of a DA 5 website and you would not end up with a DA 10 website - so what is the calculation which defines the scale. A WBF about google PR by Rand indicated that a value of between 8-9 is used in Google PR - but what about the values used for DA and MozRank etc? Many thanks for your help

Different metrics in analytics and adwords
Hi. My adwords campaigns and analaytics reports shows me slightly different results. Even for paused or disapproved ads in adwords, the analytics shows me some clicks?! I have automatic tracking enabled. Is it some kind of fault in configuration or its normal? Thank you for answer/link with answer.

Why is this website with worse metrics performing better on serps?
Hi! I would like to ask if anyone has any ideas on why the second website in this analysis is getting position 2 on google and website 1 is getting position 5: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=bonobetfair.info&comparisons[0]=www.bonobetfair.com&=Compare The metrics indicate that the first website is clearly superior in (almost) all metrics. Why could this be?

RE: Google Analytics keywords metric and appropriate keywords
Greetings, When running Google Analytics' keyword report, I see that the over 85% of the top 100 keywords used to find us include a word in our name (Eagle's Nest Foundation and Camp -- with "eagle" or "eagle's nest" being the most frequent) or the name of one of our programs. Does this mean that most folks searching for summer camps in North Carolina already know about us and that we therefore need to optimize for broader keywords, to cast a wider net for folks who don't already know about us? Thanks, Dave
