Poor Quality Links
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 7:10 pm
I was going to say suggest something really needs adding to help sift the crap links from the good. I use Majestic to look at a site and check the quality. Site after site I look at on here are just cloned, duplicated junk. I just looked at a PR5 that is genuine PR and looked at it with Majestic and see it is 6 months old and has 5 incoming links to it so basically, the owner has paid for a couple of high PR links in and from that has achieved a high PR and in reality, the value of that PR5 is fairly poor. Even string of the PR1,2 and 3 sites all come back as weak links with little to them making them pretty worthless. My PR2 and 3 sites are 5-10 years old, have hundreds of relevant incoming links and return in Majestic as strong as opposed to weak. No way a fair exchange. I reckon for every 100 links I look at, only about 5 are good enough quality to make them worth a trade. The biggest issue is this manual looking up and checking takes forever.
I see you are considering a Moz score, I really hope you go ahead with that as users really need something that lets you actually see how decent a page is at a glance.
It would also be really hand for sites to be classified by country and language they are in. I can spend hours looking for links and having to go through hundreds that are in foreign languages (mainky Germany for some reason) and little use to me. I dont want to link my english written site to something in German language so it is really frustrating to have hundreds if not thousands of them in the search results forcing yoiu through them all. I dont mind linking to a site hosted in another country e.g Germany but only if it is written in English.
