To be honest it all depends on what your definition of authority is. What's your definition?

A site that will push a decent amount of juice when it links to the money site (sorry not a very scientific definition)

My problem currently is that by using newly reg'd domains for my link network, a link from them currently isn't worth too much when pointed at the money site. Would like to make those links stronger
 


What tool do you use to see competitors link profile? I have MS but cant see their links all broken down like the demo shows... and is article samurai worth it? doesn't seem like it for the monthly fee I can get others to do it all right??

By that definition I'd just hit it with social, comments, etc and build it up on an aged domain.

We have an internal one that we use, but I would use Majestic just for an overview & basic breakdown.

Sorry not sure I follow, build what up on an aged domain? The money site or the link network sites? (link network sites are on fresh reg domains)

The link network domains. If you're stuck with fresh regs then build them up using social first, articles, 2.0's, directory submits over the initial 45 days. Then you can start messing with "darker" stuff.

SEO Spyglass just got updated a week ago, get's updates all of the time, it's now using their in-house link explorer and at times I've been able to see up to 15,000 backlinks of a competitors site where previously it was limited to 2,000 or so... They definitely have their shit together and I would recommend it to anyone. But as others have said, majestic is good, just way more expensive for the "little guy".
 
I use their rank tracker but never kept paying for the other tools... thier link assistant didn't really work for me all it did was give me a list of sites and send out requests from webmasters for links, I never got a response from any... does asking for link exchanges ever work? If so does anybody want to exchange links... WTF

Currently My site has 911 BLD and #1 has 26,718 how the fuck do I catch up to that?

I am using a few of the guys on here trying to see who's got the goods because I know its not just quantity of links but also quality. on that note some peeps have 1 pr 5 link for $100 or some shit like do the big boys buy those or are they easy money to make off us that don't know any better?

cheers

I've got a question: What do you do to preserve previous linkjuice/authority when you buy a TDNAM domain?

[reserved for WF premium members] is usually what I do, PM ly2 for more details.

I have a question, since google values content, would it be a good idea to have 10 random article summaries appear at the bottom of each page? This way you get about 50 words per 10 summaries or 500 somewhat unique words per page?

So if a single article has 200 words and you have the 500 random words would google see this as 700 unique content? Assuming you have enough articles to make pages slightly different.

I've been testing this to try and beat the freshness filter, 5 snippets x 150 words each @ the bottom of each page, randomized. Interesting, not discernible results as of yet.

Question.
designing a new home page. Thinking of adding a link to wikipedia and webmd for authority, a link to an Amazon affiliate store and links to every page on the site (112).

Are the Wikipedia and webmad obl good or bad for ranking my home page?

Outbound authority linking is always a good idea, IMO.

No

Rexibit said:
If it's relevant to the niche, test and see. But I would nofollow any outgoing link, personally.

Nofollow passes authority as well, just not as much for those SEs that recognize the relationship attribute.

+ rep to Rexibit and Bofu for actual advice, good on ya!
 
Should I focus on building traffic first then throw up adsense or get adsense on my site then buy a package from the WF forum?
 
Adsense is free to add to your site. It takes a few days/weeks before adds become relevant to your topic. Add it to your site now make money sooner.
 
I am currently working to rank a brand new site (created February 19th). My site promotes it's services on a few key pages. I then have several links in the footer to pages that have content related to keywords i'm trying to rank for.

Example: (lets assume i'm selling car parts)

mydomain.com/head-lights
mydomain.com/tail-lights
mydomain.com/rims

Am I going about this correctly?
Should all the content be on my site like this?
The content used on all the pages should be different then the content I am submitting to various sites?

I have questions for days but i'll stop their Thank You!!

I think you should first focus on building traffic rather then getting adsence. First make a little impression.

You sir, need to go read ALL the stickied threads at the top of the Traffic & Content sub forum. Then read them again. Then come back and ask questions. Seriously, I'm not being a dick. Do this and you'll learn what you need to do to play ball on this field. Right now, you're still trying to find the stadium. See you when you're done reading up.

Adsense relies on content BTW, so you're basically asking, "Should I toss up blank pages and build links before adding content, or add content and then get links?".

Content -> Traffic -> Money

That's the basic path to anything in the business world. Online is no different. You can have all the traffic you want, but if you don't have any reason for them to stay on the page, then you won't make any money.

The same principle is true for the SEs as well. You can have all the backlinks and social media coverage you want, but if your content on the page isn't related to the links, then your links aren't worth nearly as much as your competition. So, get some meat to your site, then get some links to bring in the mouths.

There should seriously be a notice at the top of this forum telling people that.
