Backlink level of domain authority
-
Hi, we are trying to build on the number of good quality links.
One idea we had is to provide testimonials for a number of suppliers websites. Which would include a link from our company name back to our site.
Is there a certain level of domain authority we should only do this for? For example if a supplier only has a domain authority of 11 should we not get a back link?
Many Thanks

Maybe, it's more likely that they've simply moved to an updated, more sophisticated version. Generally speaking, PageRank above 4 is good. Also, try installing the MozBar and judging by Domain Authority or MozRank. For the metrics out of 10, look for 4 or above. Out of 100, 30 or above.

OK. The value of dmoz is not what it once was. Truthfully, If you've got a listing, it might be better to leave it as is vs. trying to get it changed. Google does have that page indexed so you might not get any more value out of moving it.
-
Thanks, we do appear in a category but it is a category on our own, maybe not the best one.
Our competitors appear in another category with lots more firms, DMOZ shows up in their link analysis.
I will request to be moved to another category which is more appropriate.
-
Be sure to return to DMOZ and verifiy that your site was added to that directory. There is no guarantee that you'll be listed.

Thanks.
There is one backlink which has not appeared to have worked. We registered our site with DMOZ a long time ago but it does not show up under our link analysis.
Have we registered it incorrectly? We appear on DMOZ (1st in the list below)

It won't have a negative impact, it will just have less of an impact than a domain authority 30 site. Also, you don't want to have to monitor for when that da 16 site becomes a da 50 site, so I recommend getting links (aka online relationships) from as many of those suppliers as possible on a consistent basis.
I agree with Searchbuzz and Chris.Menke above, that testimonial and link is going to be valuable to you and your business, especially when you continue to gain these one on top of another over time.
-
Thanks for your replies they really help.
I agree we can work with our suppliers, I have a good enough understanding now of SEO to be able to offer simple help.
If a supplier has a domain authority of 16 does it have a negative impact?
We have 28 linking domains and a DA of 16 is would be fourth from the bottom.
Many Thanks

Daniel,
I'm guessing that you didn't choose to work with your suppliers based on their pagerank and I submit to you that you shouldn't chose your supplier's back links based on pagerank, either. It is more than acceptable to develop the types of relationships you're writing about with your suppliers of all sizes and degrees of importance--just because they're smaller, doesn't mean growing that digital relationship isn't going to help your company or its website.

Are Sidebar Backlinks worth for SEO?
Hello! Let's use the following example: I have a blog (let's call it Blog A) and I find another blog in the same niche (this will be Blog B) that has higher DA and PA than mine. Will Google penalize me if the Blog B puts a link to my blog in their sidebar? Remember, the Blog A and Blog B are from the same niche. I ask this because Google says that links on sidebars appears in every page and in some pages the link may be useless. But if both blogs are from the same niche, there won't be pages where the links will be from different themes and with less relevance. So, is my thought correct: we can use sidebar links without caring about penalization ONLY if the blogs are from the same niche? Thanks in advance!

A backlinks question
Hi all Could do with a second opinion on this one if anyone has a moment please. Recent Google updates have targeted overally optimised backlink profiles as they are clearly for seo purposes and not natural. The question I have is how does this relate to an ecommerce website? If I sell 'blue 1980 aged cheese' (I know nothing about cheese so perhaps not the best example!!) and I have a url on my shop domain.com/store/blue-1980-aged-cheese with the product name as the page title along with the domain name. If I were to get backlinks pointing to this page using the anchor of 'blue 1980 aged cheese' (and other variations of that, blue cheese, aged blue cheese etc) would this be considered to be too optimised? Given the page is about this item then surely it could be considered natural that people link using the product name, as well as using the site name and the domain url Any thoughts please Thanks, Carl

Blogging for backlinks
I have a real estate website. I would like to start blogging on blogs not related to real estate. I like reading web design, html, css, php, word press etc... blogs. I want to start talking to the bloggers using my real name (not keyword anchor text) on their blog. I'd like to have authentic conversations; however, will this confuse google about my site? If I am using my name as anchor text on sites about webdesign and linking back to a real estate website, what will that do to the SEO? It's also important to consider one other detail. I have determined through link building in real estate related fields that it's really hard to find good domains/page rank when compared to the fields above. I could get a dozen great links in 10 minutes on the above subjets AND be legitimately engaging in conversation with my name, not keywords... Does the invention of "author rank" make this more viable?
