      One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

        Thanks! I was curious all of my competitors 'best links' (when looking at OSE) seemed to be footers as well.

          They have become far less valuable (almost none now) for passing PR, but for internal linking its still a little valuable, especially if there arent very many.  But for the most part footers are no longer valuable - Google cracked down on that a while ago.

            When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?

            We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us.  The links are from relevant websites and topics.  Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

            Disavowing Links

            I need some advice... I've noticed our link profile has increased with many comments links --- something I certainly have not pursued manually. I'm new to disavowing links. However, before I go ahead and disavow them, I'd like to ask how harmful these links are and would you recommend this is something I can do myself (relatively novice SEO) or if you'd recommend someone who could do this for a reasonable cost. In one instance, the link from this comment thread is with the anchor text, "porn"... Certainly not something we want to rank for, haha! I look forward to your advice

            Hello all, I was just wondering if you could explain the difference between all the links above? I'm confused as they all seem to be the same or similar and I would just like to clearly know what distinguishes them from eachother. Thanks for your help, Jayne

            Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.

            Hi,
            I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim

            Can link juice be passed in an iframe from domain A to domain B

            Need to give our web partners our booking form which must be loaded in an iframe calling back to our domain. Is it possible to pass any link juice from their domain loading our iframe back to us. Was thinking of a "Powered by" text link in the form footer, but I'm guessing the link needs to be outside the iframe. Would love to hear any thoughts or workarounds on this.
