Are you interested to submit something to a big round up post I am doing, "Link building tips in 2014"
just shoot me a PM with your email and I will send you the details.
Another great initiative James. Always love reading your sites.
Sure hope this is the big SEO roundup to boot!
One thing I would love to know in your SEO round up post...
I just bought a well aged, "reasonably well" linked to PR6 .com site with valid, current DMOZ listing. I did all the ahrefs, whois, info: and site: searches and it's a legit PR6 site, but no other pages except the home page on that site is indexed anymore. It's been dead for at least a year. It was a furniture store in one of the US cities that went bust and went into administration.
So, question: Would you just do a site wide redirect to a money site and pass 100% of the link juice straight into one of the sites you own and be done with it, or would you build this up into some kind of authority site with loads of good quality content and use it as a link juice provider to a number of your money sites?
Interested to hear your thoughts.
I have seen this kind of thing go both ways. PR comes and goes, if maintained properly can go a long way I agree james. Saw a lot of changes with the Google PR update they just did. I think the bottom line is for me, is to decide if the site is going to be a long term asset and treat it as such. Google has its own agenda and we want our long term assets to weather the changes that may come.
So yeah I agree with James starting with a high PR site with good SEO value still a great way to go for sure, and test the results of all the tweaks you make as you go.
