JugglingCats.com - How did they do it?
-
https://www.jugglingcats.com/ has a domain authority of 30.
That seems crazy to me, especially for a site that looks like it hasn't been updated in years, has maybe 300 words, and uses Comic Sans for goodness sake!
Yes, I see that their domain has been around since 2002, and they have about 130+ inbound domains. But is that enough? What else do you think has contributed to their success? Or is it success? Should they, for their age, be much higher?
I'm very curious as to your take on it.

Domain Authority is used to track the the “strength” of your website compared to other websites. According to Moz, this is metric is calculated "by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, MozRank, MozTrust, etc.—into a single score."
Juggle Cats has 13 Root Domains and 41,022 Total Links. Most of which seem to be coming from sites owned by the same parent company called Proquantum, a _"Special-Interest Directory Website Publishers since 2002" _ In addition to Juggling Cats, they also own Engineers Guide USA, Health Guide USA, AssessorLinks, and Doomsday Guide. Each of these websites includes a footer that links to all of the other sites (and this footer can be seen on every page).
That being said, a domain authority of 30 for a site that's been around since 2002 is nothing to write home about. I've worked with companies who have newer sites that look terrible & aren't even optimized for search, and they'll often still have a domain authority between 30-40. This is because domain authority is more about #links than anything else, and more specifically it's about the # of linking root domains. In this case, it seems like the huge # of total links might be pulling up the overall domain authority slightly...but this isn't really significant in my opinion.

Eric Ward's urlwire.com - worth a $500 investment?
I'm after a turbo boost (direct and indirect) to my site's SERPs. How beneficial is URLwire.com? Anyone here used it? Worth $495? Given that Matt Cutts has said links from PR sites don't pass link pop, would URLwire fall into this category? (I'm aware the idea is also to generate backlinks from other referring sites). Thanks

Guest Posts on Established Blogger/Wordpress.com sites
How much value do you put on guest post opportunities on blogspot.com or wordpress.com sites (or similar). If the blog is established, gets good readership and traffic, do you consider it to be as useful as a privately hosted blog? I'm not really looking for a definitive answer here, just people's thoughts. Cheers, Bede

Baidu.com
Is it worth it to get a link from this site since it is a search engine and not really relevant to my site? If so how can I get my english website included? I have submitted it multiple times with no success.

Why is ooshirts.com not being penalized for exact match keywords?
Clearly this site is buying links. They have the most exact match link profile I have ever seen. It appears their strategy has been to buy links for their domain as a way to mask all the other exact match purchases they are making. I have also been sent copies of the emails where they are attempting to purchase links. Thoughts?

Optimizing YP.com and Yelp listings for local business
I have a fairly new business and I have been citation building over the past year. I noticed that when I perform a search for my keyword and city that YP.com and Yelp show up high on Google SERPS. I have a listing on both of these directories but my listing is unfortunately buried. I have optimized my listings on these sites to the best of my ability. I have not upgraded to paid advertising on either. It's expensive and I here mixed reviews on the ROI. I will list both profiles: http://www.yelp.com/biz/care-wellness-center-margate | http://www.yellowpages.com/margate-fl/mip/care-wellness-center-465315829 | Can anyone offer any advice on optimizing or boosting these listings so I turn up in the first 3-5 instead of 20 or lower? Thank you Robert Herbst

Does MerchantCircle.com have any SEO benefit?
We have created accounts for several of our clients at www.MerchantCircle.com directory and created blogs, coupons, etc for them but we did not get any single click or benefit from merchantcircle.com at all. We wasted a lot of time and also monthly membership fees. I really would like to hear your experiences. Did you have any positive results from merchantcircle.com ? Did they lose their importance after Panda update? Their MOZrank also shows ZERO and we are considering cancelling our accounts with them. Thanks for your advice and help, Lewis
