Should I pursue this LINK?
-
I can get a link from this site, but it has a DA=39, Dmr=3.37, Dmt=3.39 and a Page Rank=0
-
get the link, why wouldn't you? Unless you it overly difficult to get and there are other (better opportunities)
-
DA=39, Dmr=3.37, Dmt=3.39 and a Page Rank=0? PR ZERO? Did it get Google slapped? Rand talks about that in one of his white board fridays. Two things can be happening here. Either that site is thriving and Google hasn't updated it PR in about 3 to 4 months OR it used to have PR, but got demoted by Google.

I'd have to second #3. It's difficult to answer without knowing how much the link will cost you (time, $$, etc)
-
Consider the following:
- How well is the linking site aligned with the content you are looking to link to? In an ideal situation the linking site would be in th same 'neighbordhood' as the content on the linked-to site. (a carpeting site wants links from sites that have to do with flooring, for example).
- Have you taken the time to review the link profile of the linking site. I would take the time to review the linking sites link profile to see if any of its linking sites look questionable.
- How much time/effort/resources/$ are you going to have to give up to secure this link? It sounds like you have it in the bag, but there is always some effort behind closing such deals.
In the end, if you can get this link (especially with anchor text you get to specify) and it meets criteria #1 and #2 and won't consume a lot of time, I say get it.
-
I would not worry about the page rank as long as the page has incoming links from other high authoirty sites. Run the opensitexplorer reports on the page and look at the quality and quanity of the incoming links.
Run opensiteexplorer on the entire domain and look at the top pages report to see if the page in question is one of the top 10 pages on the website.
You may also want to make sure the domain itself has good spam free incoming links or atleast the percentage of profile / spam link to highly quality natural link is low.

Why are my paid vendors not showing on our links?
We pay a hefty amount to site that claim to bring in leads. ie... Cars.com, Edmunds.com, Cargurus, and I also have my dCard (digital business cards) with links to our URL. Why aren't they showing on our PA or DA? Could it be our web host? We have on;y 2 options for web hosts per Acura (a compliance thing) Please help with any thoughts or answers to this. I see many other dealers with strong links who use the same companies. Our site is http://findlayacura.com and thank you for any help. We appreciate it greatly.

What To Focus On SEO / Link Building for this campaign to rank again..
Hi All; I recently joined Moz and I am really starting to learn a lot here. I am still finding it difficult to figure out what to focus on the most to improve my rankings (although I do have some page 1 ranks) I have one strong competitor who has a SOLID spot in the top 5 of google for the past few years for the keyword I would like to be ranked for again. (as they have always been a competitor of mine either 1 spot above or 1 spot below). then i fell off google in January and finally made it back to page 1. But their links are thousands higher than mine. What parts of my SEO Link Building should I focus on the MOST to improve my ranking to move up a few spots? Followed links vs No Followed Links Followed Linking Root Domains vs NoFollowed Linking Root Domain Any help would so greatly be appreciated; also please explain why you would focus on that part of my campaign so I can better understand as well. Thanks again

Why such a difference in external followed links details?
I love using seomoz and have done for a few years. I am no SEO expert, but like to think I can get away with making out I know what I'm on about! I use opensiteexplorer regualrly and usually enjoy delving deeper into it's metrics, but one thing is bothering me (before I start with this, please forgive me if I am missing something obvious - you may have to point it out in your answer!) So I run a comparison of a few sites and pay attention to the external followed links section. On checking this number at root domain level, company A has 12,666 external followed links. So I want to dig a little deeper as to the qulaity of those links and click along to the inbound links tab, here I select the following: "followed & 301" > "only external" > "all links to this root domain" > leaving the results ungrouped Downloading this table I only have results for 3,416 links - why such a big difference to the previous 12,666 or am I missing something here? Would just like a bit of clarification 🙂

Open Site Explorer Twitter and Facebook Links
I was using Open Site Explorer to compare some of my site's links to a competitor and I noticed that my Twitter page is not counting as an incoming link, whereas theirs are. From what I can tell, we have the same kind of setup on my twitter page, listing the domain in the company information... but no luck. Any suggestions on what I may be able to change? For reference: twitter.com/mediamegamall ... I know I need to work on the twitter presence... one thing at a time 🙂

Viewing Specific Links in OSE - For a Specific Month
(1) Can I use OSE to see the number of links per month a site acauired over the past year (month by month)? For example, I might be interested if I see a competitor acquired a surprisingly high number of links during December, 2010. (2) Can I use OSE to see the a list of links a site acquired during a specific time, such as December of 2010? For example, if I see a competitor suddenly acquired an unusually high number of links in December, 2010, I'd like to see a list of those links, to figure out how they acquired those links. Thanks!
