Page 7 - Link Building 101

Very Informative and I would surely use these Information. Thanks a lot for this endeavor.

Does links on content pages within your site to other pages in your site have the same power as links from external sites to pages?

Does Google see internal linking as just navigation or does it play in the authority of the page being linked to?

External links have more weight. Whether it has the power of an internal link depends upon the PR of each. If you have a PR6 internal page pointing to a new page with nofollow attribute on insignificant links, thereby pushing the maximum 'linkjuice' to the page, this page would become a PR4.

If you have a new page and you have an external link pointing to it from a PR6 page, and this page has no other outgoing links, and the anchor text lines up with the landing page, the site has authority and several other consideration, then IMHO I would say about even.

There are just too many variables that can affect this.

Internal linking is seen as navigation but PR, trust and authority can be passed on to other pages (like brand new pages), and potentially get you a good ranking.

Gary do you think trust is a page wideor site wide ie would a PR 2 link from a government site transfer more TR than a PR 6 link from billybobs home page IYO. (assuming that the PR scores were not artifically manipulated)

Depends on the scenario.

Is it a trusted site linking to your internal page?
Is it a page inside of a trusted site linking back to your main page?
Is it a page inside of a trusted site linking back to your internal page?
I also think elements such as domain age and the age of the link and you internal page, anchor text and how well the destination page is aligned with the anchor text of the inbound link.

If you had an exact example I could probably analyse several of these factors and tell you for sure...otherwise there are too many unknown variables to say 100% for sure.

This is a great post I have read after a long long time

This was very informative, as a newbie I thankyou very much. I do have a question.
Upon checking some of my competitors sights, I found one that had many, many links to the same site but different landing pages. Is this a negative?

Good question.

I think its time to revive this thread because of the last 2 conferences I've been to its apparent link building/buying has come to the forefront.

I'm not, and have never been one to advocate it, but I've been testing it for the last 18 months, and when done right (which is a very fine line) it works incredibly.

P.s. Yes, I intentionally left it

Nope...its an SEM doing the right thing (at least on the surface)

Yes GaryTSG what's new, I've been waiting for it too =D,

We'd like to hear your inferences about the conference cos in Istanbul there isn't any of them for me to attend.. So it'd be great to hear what the others' are focusing on nowadays and what the trends are.

If you have a commercial site and one of your competirors has allready bought 140-400k backlinks, you have nothing left.
Websites of clients of my SEO agency are targeting tough keywords. So paid links is the only way to get to top 5, top 10 SERPs in Google.

Matt Cutts is a dreamer. But paid links work. The only question is - they should be natural looking. And that we have.

fabulous sticky post.........there were even a few items on there which I hadn't thought about (like the one about getting a link from your public library's web site).

Could someone please advice me on the following points,

Is social bookmarking any good for seo, if so why?

Are all the social bookmarking links nofollow, if they are are there any seo benefits?

when linking a press release to my bookmark, will the keyword links still be active?

I appreciate any feed back.

thank you
