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.

Adding backlinks in old articles?
I am trying to get a few more links to get a few of my pages to rank and I am thinking about adding some more backlinks on my own site on some of the old blog articles as well as some of my other related blogs. My question is - is it still beneficial to link from these articles that are say 1 year old or more, or would it be far more valuable to write new articles on the blog containing those same links?

Link from or 301 Domains?
I have 3 domains that are in the same niche as my main site and not connected in any way. Now my question is should I just link to my main site from each of them on a page that is relevant to my main Keywords or should I 301 them to the site? I am thinking that building a link to my main site would have more effect than 301's. Thanks in advance!
