How to Determine a Backlink Quality

If its indexed in Google = good back link
If its from a domain thats deinexed in Google = bad backlink

The way I see it, if its good enough to be in Googles index, its good enough to point at my site.

I'm sure you will throw another infraction at me, but you asked for feedback, so here goes. This is not a personal attack, but overall the guide is completely lacking. You missed so many key, but obvious points in determining the quality of a backlink.

What about checking if the site is even indexed? Kind of important.

How about the PageRank of the page where the link will appear?

How many outgoing backlinks are already on the page? This is a huge one. If there are already 300 outgoing backlinks on the page, there is no point in researching it any further.

Anchor text variation has nothing to do with link quality.

Where on the page will the link appear? A footer link is a lot less valuable to me than an in-context link on a page where the article will remain. A sidebar link is even less valuable to me.

Also, while I use SEOmoz pretty extensively, I do not base any decisions solely on DA and PA. It is a proprietary system belonging to SEOmoz and does not necessarily reflect how Google views the page. I prefer to use DA, PA, and mT in conjunction with PR and an analysis of the page's backlinks to confirm the figures.

Although you mention buying links, you do not discuss anything about prices.

As for your "secret" at the end about uncovering competitor's links and asking for links from those sites yourself, I don't see that as secret at all. Tons of people know to do that. Most just don't do it.

I could go on, but that's enough.

My first post...

I am wondering if there is some statistics available as to the effectiveness of this method, with a new site I would surely appreciate a supply of good backlinks.

Thanks

With the advent of so many services that create backlink on auto..it is no surprise Google has cracked down on backlinks and what it considers quality. I am glad for this because I try to create the best backlinks even though I don’t engage in a lot of SEO. I know my publishers do and I hate to see so much trash out there when it comes to phony comments and the like etc..

Those tools are garbage for checking if the PR is real or fake.

There is no such thing as a low quality real PR 9 page. A PR 9 domain is worth millions of dollars. You do not have a real one. You got suckered by someone.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Just PM him the domain, I'm having a slow day and could use a good laugh

Guess I'll have to find something else to entertain me for another hour.

You have been Pm'ed friend.

Well you said to let you know

The OP's article is a prime example of why I charge for my course. Anyone can put up nonsense for free. I can't even be bothered to post all the things you have said in this thread that scream to anyone who knows anything that you do not have the first clue what you are talking about.

Rock on with your PR9

And there is a ton of information in this forum that many of us have posted about determining the quality of a domain, checking PR, determining fake PR, etc. No need to post it again.

Kind of like gold.. there is Gold and then there is not gold. Never seen any almost gold

By the way

What is the point of linking to your own articles where you have a pop up that blocks people from reading until they subscribe to your list.

You can't start a thread just to build your list.

Determine by the PR, the authority of the website.

whether it is natural, whether it is related and whether you can really get the link juice.

So what sections should I add to a part 2?

Checking for real pr?
Check way back see how long the sites been the same related content?

And what else?

What else should I add to a part 2 besides:

Page rank (correct methods for checking that mike listed)
Way back machine for matching content since the beginning

What else?

What else should I add to a part 2 besides:

Page rank (correct methods for checking that mike listed)

What else?

I have completed this second post adding the two I listed above.

Does anyone have anymore ideas for me to consider?

Be sure to let me know what you all think!

Really? Not suggestions guys?

apart from the page rank of the page from which the link is coming, you should also make sure that the backlink comes from a relevant webpage. There are a lot of guys trying to trick google by getting backlinks from irrelevant sites by paying them and of late Google has caught on this and has been penalizing this effort to a great extend.

LOL, I need to come around here more often, so much fun!

Man, you really can be abrasive. Before you start insinuating that people are spammers and trying to bump their post count you may want to check them out a bit.

Do you notice my post count? Check out where most of my post are, in the WSO section, where you do't get credit for posts. Wouldn't be much of a spammer OR post builder doing that would I?

I came to the thread through a search, believe it or not people actually do search for threads on topics that interest them. I had no inclination of when the thread was posted, I simply enjoyed reading it.

You've got a heck of a way of making people feel welcome, especially for a guy who has no beefs.

And I could care less how much traffic you get from this thread man, again, I just came here because I was looking and left a post because I enjoyed the thread. I sure as heck didn't expect you to pop in here and start accusing me of stuff.

Any way, I'm done with you, I have no interest in having a conversation of any type with you.

backlink should be of high quality and relevant to your niche.
