Sponsoring a show/play
-
Hey,
How does it work with sponsorships and paid back links?
I have a lawyer website, and I know lots of people who do plays and play shows.
I could easily sponsor a band for like $100 and get a link on the page.
Is this allowed? I could even write stuff on their page to make it more relevant.
let me know, thanks.

Hi there
Here is Google's resource on link schemes - I suggest you read it.
I would also suggest (based on Google's resource here) that you make this link nofollow.
Since this is a sponsorshipesque link and you're a local business (if you're not, don't do this), then make sure you take the proper steps.
Where would this link live exactly? Content? Sidebar? Ad?
Let me know - thanks so much!

It will hurt your site and theirs. It doesn't matter if your only suggesting plays and optimizing for them well. Plays and Lawyers don't add up, unless it's a blog and your recommending something.

Very old site wanting a revamp - how to handle all the redirects/URL changes
Hi all, I have a very very old site, that requires a facelift (going from an old clunky CMS to wordpress). A problem I know I am going to face is that this site has a very poor URL structure (www.site.com/section/1/section/ etc) which I plan on cleaning up. but how do I handle the 100+ backlinks this website has point to such links? If someone could point me in the direction of an article or such that would be great. Thanks,

Inbound Links not showing. Links are not no follow
Over the past several months I have definitely received inbound links to my website ( none of which are no follow). I have HubSpot as well s Moz and none of the links are showing. My competitors with the same link sources are showing though. I am completely dumbfounded. Why are my inbound links not showing and how much time does it take for them to show if they show at all? Thank you!

Dead/Broken links on old blogs
Hi We are currently trying to update our blog page on our website but quickly realized there are numerous dead or broken 404 links after clicking on anchor text from past blog posts. Our blog is set up in WordPress and we recently installed an SEO plug in with it. Some of these anchor texts don't actually need links and I want to unlink them, is there a simple way to do this on WordPress? Other anchor text I would like to "301 redirect" to another page. Can i do this on WordPress or is this something my SEO plugin should be able to fix? Answers are much appreciated! Thanks

Can you get "link juice" from an outside company's/organization's intranet?
Will you get the same "link juice benefits" from a University, Government Org, or public company's intranet that are linked to your webpages – vs the benefits that you would get from links from their public webpages? Assume that the external webpages have very high Domain Authority, MozRank/Trust etc.

We have links from our page at .com and .com/. Should we be concerned about this and try to merge?
When running link reports for our page .com, it redirects to .com/. We do have links for both URLs, but .com/ is significantly more than the other. Should we be concerned by this? Are we losing some links because of this?

Why aren't my backlinks showing up?
I've recently switched hosting my site on www.vamospaella.com to www.vamospaella.co.uk (using a 301 redirect) and I've been building backlinks. According to Majesticseo, vamospaella.co.uk has 38 backlinks with 8 referrring domains and vamospaella.com has 15 external backlinks from 11 referring domains. Some of these backlinks date back a month, while others have shown up in the last week. However, I have seen no improvement in my Google rankings for my keywords. Why is this?

OpenSite Explorer-How Long For Links to Show Up?
I have acquired a very good number of high PR rank backlinks from quality websites to my site over the last several months. However, when I check my LInkscape Analysis they do not show up and my number of incoming links seems to remain the same. How long does it take for these to show up with the SEOMoz tools? Thanks
