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.

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 🙂

Link analysis competitors
Am I missing something here or does SEO Moz only support three competitor sites to do comparisons against in each campaign? If not where do I add another website to the list to compare against? Thanks in advance!

Link to landing page or home page
Ok, so I've been doing a bit of link research and found that most of our competitors use anchor text to link to their homepage on their site and not a specific landing page. Our current strategy is to link to the correct landing page depending on the anchor to get these to rank, as opposed to getting our homepage to rank for different keywords. If that makes sense. The main reason I can think of to send all links to the homepage is that it would increase the domain authority of the site as a whole. Instead of spreading the links to certain pages depending on the anchor text. It would also give your one page a greater chance to rank for all keywords? Quick example I am a site that sells sports clothes. I have 2 main pages from my homepage: Homepage Football Rugby _Should I link to the football page for all links anchored with "football", and all linked anchored with "rugby" to the rugby page OR should I anchor all links including "rugby" and "football" to the homepage? _ What do you think is the best strategy? Thanks in advance.

Does SEOMoz (or anyone) offer a measurement of "overlapping" links between 2+ domains?
I'm trying to judge how much incremental value we'd see from 301'ing an old domain vs. revitalizing the old domain's content. My gut feeling is that most of the links to the two sites are from the same set of websites so it wouldn't add much value to 301 the old domain. I've seen the opposite of this done with Competitive Link Analysis (e.g show links that you don't have that your competitor does have). Is there a tool available that can take 2 or more sites and tell me for instance - 72% of the inbound links or linking root domains are the same?

What tools do you use for competitive link analysis?
I have been using SEO Spyglass lately but it can be very slow at times. Wondering if there are any other accurate/robust tools out there.
