Spam link? Links from linguee.*
-
Hello, in a site, in which I'm working .. in webmaster tools i see a lot of links as following:
With more links to your site:
linguee.es 3.066
linguee.com 2.964
linguee.pe 2.722
linguee.mx 2.721Total inlinks to my site are 20.000, and links incoming from linguee.* are more than 50% !!!
My site is about spanish courses in spain, but i think all these links are fuck*ng me.
I checked if these links have nofollow tag, and not, they don't have this attritute.
What can i do? My site is going down in Google.
¿disavow that domain? Please help.

I've got the same problem with these domains (linguee.com, linguee.es, linguee.pe...).
I've got more than 20.000 backlinks coming from these domains, and I suspect they're damaging my rankings, which have suffered a big drop during the last months.
Did you finally disavow these domains?
-
In site explorer i don't see that links (in first pages) , maybe they have low autority.
-
If they add a nofollow the links won't count towards your link profile in webmaster tools. Now that you mention that these are over 50% of your links it begs the question where are you pulling your full link profile from? If you are only looking at the links in GWT you should dig into Open Site Explorer, Majestic, ahrefs, etc. I would make sure to get a holistic view of your link profile before making any big changes.

Hello, No, i didn't get any email from Google. And in Webmaster Tool there is not message.
But i think i am penalized because for my main keywords i don't see my page in google.
-
Yes, I think they are hurting me, because in only a period of time, they have been converted in my MAIN links (+50% of my links), and this should not be.
If the webmaster add nofollow to them, this links doesn't count in webmaster tools?
-
I would contact the webmaster and ask for the links to be removed or at least nofollowed. If that doesn't work I would disavow the entire domain if you believe these links are hurting you and there aren't any other spammy links in your profile.

I paste some of these links :
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/c%E1mara+de+comercio+de+madrid.html
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/certificado+aptitud+pedag�gica.html
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/certificado+de+aptitud.html
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/clases+de+conversaci�n+guiada.html
(200 links like that, p.e., are pointing to one of my pages)
The links appear bellow translation.
Yes, my site today is not visible in Google, strange, and for my main keywords, my site is not visible.
1 month ago more or less all was ok.

Disavow as a last resort, start by contacting the webmaster of that site and ask them to be removed. Have you reviewed what kind of links these are? comment spam, forum signatures, some other BS?
-
Did you get a message from Google warning about unnatural incoming links? Are you sure you were penalized or think you might have been?
Contact the webmaster, it's owned by one entity and have them remove the links. Don't disavow unless you have been penalized.

Will noindex pages still get link equity?
We think we get link equity from some large travel domains to white label versions of our main website. These pages are noindex because they're the same URLs and content as our main B2C website and have canonicals to the pages we want indexed. Question is, is there REALLY link equity to pages on our domain which have "noindex,nofollow" on them? Secondly we're looking to put all these white label pages on a separate structure, to better protect our main indexed pages from duplicate content risks. The best bet would be to put them on a sub folder rather than a subdomain, yes? That way, even though the pages are still noindex, we'd get link equity from these big domains to www.ourdomain.com/subfolder where we wouldn't to subdomain.ourdomain.com? Thank you!

Keyword Opportunities in Insights Area Suggest SPAM Keywords?
Happy Holidays Moz family, We were recently reviewing our insights on an account and the keywords suggested were: 1. malibog pinoy sex story 2. desi bhabhi ki chudai 3. cennai mamies pundai mulai Clearly these are SPAM or something. We have run malware scans of the site, used Google Webmaster tools to identify incoming and outgoing links and don't see anything. I have also exported the entire site to Notepad++ and searched for these terms. Nothing. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you in advance for any suggestions! We're having some ranking issues with the same site so perhaps this is the root of the issue. The site has some great links.

Best to Leave Toxic Links or Remove/Disovow on Site with Low Number of Linking Domains
Our site has only 87 referring domains (with at least 7,100 incoming links). LinkDetox has identified 29% of our back links as being toxic and 14% as being questionable. Virtually all of these links derive from spammy sites. We never received a manual penalty, but ever since the first Penguin penalty in 2012 our search volume and ranking has dropped with some uneven recover in the last 3 years. By removing/disavowing toxic links are we risking that over optimized link text will be removed and that ranking will suffer as a result? Are we potentially shooting ourselves in the foot? Would we be better to spend a few months building quality links from reputable domains before removing disavowing bad links? Or toxic links (as defined by LinkDetox) so bad that it should be a priority to remove them immediately before taking any other step? Thanks, Alan

Page Name Tracking - Without UTM links
Hello, Our current site is fully html with no cms. We're moving to a newer version today with a typo 3 cms. My one worry is as follows; On some pages an internal link opens a jquery lightbox, inside the lightbox will be a video or download link. I cannot simply add a standard event url like I wanted to (utm_ link) as the pages are linked via the cms pointing to different pages, not the url's. We really need the following appearing in Analytics, whether its an event or landing page; The click of the light-box link The click of the video OR download link inside the lightbox. I would really, really appreciate any help on this as the new website is going live today, regardless whether this has been resolved. Thank you very much in advance of any replies. twY8s8B.jpg

Backlinks vs Incoming links
Hi, I've been getting stuck into some SEO analysis for a company I work for and I am a little confused. I've tried a search to get an answer but this has ended up being more confusing. The company has been around for decades and their website since 1996. I read everywhere about 'backlinks'. My SEO toolbar shows ZERO backlinks in Google but 218 in Bing. Google Webmaster tools shows nearly 2,000 incoming links from other sites. Is a backlink the same as an incoming link? Why is this tool showing zero? I am even getting email from SEO spammers saying my backlink count is ZERO. But I can see links everywhere I look to the site. Also, on the link analysis tool with SEOMOZ a competitor is showing 3000 external showing links with 250,000 total links. My site is showing 50 and 470 respectively. I have spent the best part of two years getting the site listed in industry related directories. We have paid for entries in Yahoo and some other high (PR) -ranking directories. Prior to me there was someone else adding the site to directories and getting incoming links from industry related sites. So this has been going on a while. Why are the backlings showing as zero but links from external sites showing over 1800? Thanks TT

Email campaigns. Should I link to my blog or to my site?
I have a client for who we write and post a daily blog article. The articles are optimized and linked to particular targeted content on his top level site. Now we are going to start e-marketing to his 3000+ website users to announce inventory changes and specials. My question is (from a SE standpoint) are we better off linking the e-mail content to the blog and introducing people to the blog (but adding an additional step for getting to the new inventory. Or are we better off putting a link in the HTML E-mail letter that we send out to both the blog and separately to the inventory section? Just to clarify, we wonder if the search engines would provide some additional authority for the extra blog traffic and thereby build the overall score of the blog & site. We are looking at the e-mail campaigns as a potential opportunity to impact SE scores not just awareness of new inventory. Thanks everyone!

Will javascript generated links affect my bounce rate?
Hi all, I run a site called Applicable Jobs (http://www.applicablejobs.com) and from analyising my analytics I notice my bounce rate is unusually high at around 85%. I'm keen to get this right down as I've read recently that a high bounce rate is a metric Google uses in determining positioning in the SERPs. I honestly don't think it's the quality of my content because I feel it's genuinely useful to my target audience but I'm wondering if the way my jobs list is generated is causing an issue. At the moment I have my jobs listings generated through javascript so I can have nice effects and use a bit of ajax but if Google crawls it, it obviously won't be able to see the listings. So I'm wondering if when a user comes to the site and they click on one of the job listings, does the Google analytics code recognise that click because that link is generated through javascript? Thanks
