I run a Toyota Forums covering all Toyota models and want to do link building campaign. The anchor I after is "Toyota forum" Which is better in your opinion, a PR 7 or 8 link from a huge site covering a broad range of topics with general automotive DIY section or a PR 4-5 Toyota specific site?. Secondly, is a PR 5 link from a site about Mitsubishi for example, will help boost my SERPs or not?. What should I prioritize in my link building campaign. Link PR or link relevancy?. Thx!
Hi, I think you should go for high relevancy and mediocre PR. In my opinion proper link building strategy should be to build links of high relevancy and minimum PR criteria should be 3. Thanks.
yes definitely it will help . And My suggestion is dont narrow your relevency criteria . Any automotive related site will go for you. You can accept them as relevent . But other then automotive sites are irrelevent . Regards and respect. Ashwini
Thx. Is it recommended to use anchor "toyota forum" for all back links or should I use different variations e.g toyota forums , toyota message board , etc ? FYI I after high position for terms "toyota forum".
Vary it toyota forum toyota forums forum for toyota forums for toyota toyota car forum toyota discussion forum toyota message board toyota discussion toyota owners toyoya fans toyota talk toyota chat And don't link everything to the main page. Get some links to inner pages too.
For PR, you may not have to worry too much of the relevancy to your site. For a higher SERP position, you should always focus on the relevancy. Sometimes PR4 is really good enough
I think relevancy is more important. PR now has less value. Site can rank on top of search engine even has less PR, as long as you get your targeted traffic.
I would say for links for SERPs 1. Relevancy 2. Trust 3. Pagerank. For Pagerank purposes 1. Pagerank 2. Trust 3. Relevancy
I would buy a PR 7 link just to pass on PageRank to your site. That way you have some leverage in link exchange deals. Once your PageRank is up I would focus on getting links from relevant and trusted sites but you've got to give them good links in return. I had to give up 2 links on the homepage just to get a 2-tier link from a highly trusted site. I definitely felt like I got the better deal though because my traffic went up somewhat and I didn't do very much after that. It's definitely hard to market a forum-only site. Especially if you don't already have a ton of people contributing to the forum so a few content pages might help make it somewhat easier.
i don't think it can harm your site, but i believe it will bring you 0 traffic and also it won't help your ranking grow in a high lvl
