Am i getting backlink benefits from sites i design and host
-
I own & host over 300 domains for as many businesses. They all link back to my site from every page. but seomoz shows only hundred. so do other seo tools. why is that?
-
I didn't attribute the thumbs down to any specific person and did see that you gave the "good answer" award.
Lots of people think that their attribution links are good as gold. I thought it was one of them giving the thumbs down.
If you click thumbs up, I think that the thumbs down will disappear.
-
Not sure why you concluded I gave the thumbs down intentionally!
If you notice i clicked good answer as soon as I read it and I thought it was helpful, which is also evident in my reply. If anything it would have been inadvertent. Please, be gentle..
Lynn, your answer was awesome.. thanks once again..

For your question regarding the benefit, site wide links especially on the same host (or a handful of hosts) all pointing to you are not going to give you much benefit and could potentially bring penalties...............
This was a really good answer... don't know why anyone would give it thumbs down. Probably same type of person who shoots the messenger.

I also used to put a link on sites I made, because the sites were rarely relevant I did not think they would be of much value but it wouldn't hurt.
That has changed, my site dropped of the map when penguin came in, it only came back when I removed lots these but not only these types of links.
-
Not parked. active domains with thousands of pages each that we have built for our clients over the last 6 years.

A million pages linking in is a whole lot! I would be very careful if those are mainly site wides, it is asking for trouble.
As for the seomoz tool, I too sometimes wish it would show a link it is not, but patience is a virtue. If the site is decently linked, the seomoz bot will likely get to it at some point.
Try looking at it another way though. If a link is continuously NOT showing in the seomoz report it is a pretty strong indication in many instances that the link/page has a really low benefit. Really low in this case would mean pretty much non existent. So in that respect I find the seomoz link reports useful for focusing much more on quality than quantity if you see what I mean.
-
you can use the private ip service. I think that is very good like ix webhosting
-
That helps..
I did a google webmaster tools link lookup and i see all my sites with over a million pages linking in.
I guess that makes me somewhat happy that google has found them. I understand what you said about site wide links. i will work on that.
But makes me wonder how much importance I should give seomoz tools at this point!
Thanks for your reply!

Hi Anoop,
For your question regarding the benefit, site wide links especially on the same host (or a handful of hosts) all pointing to you are not going to give you much benefit and could potentially bring penalties. Be especially careful about stuffing keywords into those links. Your best bet if you want to keep the reference to you as a designer is to put the links only on the hompage or alternatively on a site credits type page and keep them to branded links only (ie the name of your company).
As to why all of them are not showing up in your reports, seomoz and other tools can only ever index a subset of all the links/pages on the web. I would think that the sites that are not showing up maybe have small link profiles (few external links from other sites) and as such are just not getting crawled that often because references to them from other sites are not found that often. Over time if their link profiles get stronger then you will likely start to see more of them appear in the reports.
Hope that helps!

They have to be found before they can show.
I assume these are parked domains?

Why is this site ranked #1 in Google with such a low DA (is DA not important anymore?)
Hi Guys, Would you mind helping me with the below please? I would like to get your view on it and why Google ranks a really new domain name #1 with super low domain authority? Or is Domain Authority useless now in Google? It seems like from the last update that John Mueller said that they do not use Domain Authority so is Moz Domain Authority tool not to take seriously or am I missing something? There is a new rehab in Thailand called https://thebeachrehab.com/ (Domain authority 13)It's ranked #1 in Google.co.th for these phrases: drug rehab thailand but also for addiction rehab thailand. So when checking the backlink profile it got merely 21 backlinks from really low DA sites (and some of those are really spammy or not related). Now there are lots of sites in this industry here which have a lot higher domain authority and have been around for years. The beach rehab is maybe only like 6 months old. Here are three domains which have been around for many years and have much higher DA and also more relevant content. These are just 3 samples of many others... <cite class="iUh30">https://www.thecabinchiangmai.com (Domain Authority 52)</cite>https://www.hope-rehab-center-thailand.com/ (Domain Authority 40)https://www.dararehab.com (Domain Authority 32) These three sites got lots of high DA backlinks (DA 90++) from strong media links like time.com, theguardian.com, telegraph.co.uk etc. (especially thecabinchiangmai.com) but the other 2 got lots of solid backlinks from really high DA sites. So when looking at the content, thebeachrehab.com has less content as well. Can anyone have a look and let me know your thoughts why Google picks a brand new site, with DA 13 and little content in the top compared to competition? I do not see the logic in this? Cheers

Should we remove our "index" pages (alphabetical link list to all of the products on the site)?
We run an e-commerce site with a large number of product families, with each family having a number of products within it. We have a set of pages (26 - one for each letter A-Z) that are lists of links to the product family pages. We originally created these pages thinking it would aid in discoverability of these pages to search engines, of course as time has gone on, techniques like this have fallen out of favor with Google as it provides negligible value to the user. Should we consider removing these pages from the site overall? Is it possible that it could be viewed by Panda as resembling a link farm? Thanks in advance!

Dynamic Content Boxes: how to use them without get Duplicate Content Penalty?
Hi everybody, I am starting a project with a travelling website which has some standard category pages like Last Minute, Offers, Destinations, Vacations, Fly + Hotel. Every category has inside a lot of destinations with relative landing pages which will be like: Last Minute New York, Last Minute Paris, Offers New York, Offers Paris, etc. My question is: I am trying to simplify my job thinking about writing some dynamic content boxes for Last Minute, Offers and the other categories, changing only the destination city (Rome, Paris, New York, etc) repeated X types in X different combinations inside the content box. In this way I would simplify a lot my content writing for the principal generic landing pages of each category but I'm worried about getting penalized for Duplicate Content. Do you think my solution could work? If not, what is your suggestion? Is there a rule for categorize a content as duplicate (for example number of same words in a row, ...)? Thanks in advance for your help! A.

Can anyone recommend a Google-friendly way of utilising a large number of individual yet similar domains related to one main site?
I have a client who has one main service website, on which they have local landing pages for some of the areas in which they operate. They have since purchased 20 or so domains (although in the process of acquiring more) for which the domain names are all localised versions of the service they offer. Rather than redirecting these to the main site, they wish to operate them all separately with the goal of ranking for the specific localised terms related to each of the domains. One option would be to create microsites (hosted on individual C class IPs etc) with unique, location specific content on each of the domains. Another suggestion would be to park the domains and have them pointing at the individual local landing pages on the main site, so the domains would just be a window through which to view the pages which have already been created. The client is aware of the recent EMD update which could affect the above. Of course, we would wish to go with the most Google-friendly option, so I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about how would be best to handle this? Many thanks in advance!
