      If I get several backlinks from same web 2.0 (wordpress, tumblr or so on) will it be beneficial as 1 ? or each backlink will equal?

      if you say, "will count as 1 cause from same domain" then why don't google give you credit for getting link from 96 DA site? (wordpress)

        Yes, and I think the way that Web 2.0 sites (as defined by the way you are using the term, Jubaer), including those hosted on Wordpress.com and Tumblr, is a great example of why search engines treat subdomains as distinct domains.

        Practically anyone can set up a site on Wordpress.com like abc.wordpress.com with minimal effort. That is, after all, the primary service Wordpress.com offers, after all. The sites that exist as subdomains of Wordpress.com have very little in common with each other, other than being hosted on Wordpress.com.

        Wordpress.com has a DA of 96. There are some truly fantastic sites hosted as subdomains of Wordpress.com, and there are also a lot of really crappy ones, too. If search engines treated the value of a link from crappysite.wordpress.com as authoritatively as the value of a link from fantasticsite.wordpress.com simply because both are hosted on wordpress.com (which does, as you say, have a DA of 96), would that be best for users? Nope, it would not. Someone could have made crappysite.wordpress.com for the sole purpose of "earning" a link to their own (self-hosted) site, or created it with good intentions, but never put in the work needed to become a valuable site for its intended audience like fantasticsite.wordpress.com did.

        And, let's not forget about the importance of relevance. The topics of sites on Wordpress.com  are all over the place. Therefore, it makes sense to treat each one separately, right?

          Hi Jubaer,

          One way to look at it is each (worthwhile) link is an implied endorsement of your site. Viewed in this light, multiple links from the same site, assuming it is a respected domain, would be incredible valuable, but not simply for ranking.

          Remember, trust is a huge factor that can and does impact your rank in SERPs: If people come to know and view your brand as authoritative and valuable on a topic, they're more likely to click on your URL, even if you're not in the top handful of results.

          One small way to gain such trust is by creating content that is worthy of being linked to by respected domains. The more people see you being linked to and mentioned, the more top of mind awareness you're creating and the greater the likelihood that you'll start seeing that recognition at the SERP level.

          I link to say that value of a link extends well beyond the link itself.

          RS

            Hi Jubaer,

            It's definitely true that there are "diminishing returns" when you get multiple links from the same domain, but remember that search engines treat subdomains are distinct domains.

              No, those will not count as the same domain. But they will not have the same effect than links coming from: xyz.com, abc.com and so on.
              Being a link from a 2.0 platform reduces its effect.

              Am I clear?

                Thanks for your answer. let me clear you,

                I mean.. getting backlinks from xyz.wordpress.com, abc.wordpress.com, lmn.wordpress.com .

                Will these backlinks count from same domain?

                  Hi Jubaer Ahmed,

                  For me it isnt really clear what you're asking. I'll answer what I've understannd of your question:
                  Every link you get is a link per se. Also if you get several links from different 2.0 platforms, every link you get will count. 
                  If you are asking whether many links from the same 2.0 platform count every one as a links from different sites. It doesn't.

                  BUT, you have to take into account that if those links are created in, for example, several wordpress sites with a lot of time online and much presence in SERPs those will count as one every one.
                  On the other hand, if you are creating new 2.0 sites to get those new links: When creating several sites on the same platform will make those links less relevant.
                  (Always considering that the links point to the same web page).

                  Hope this is helpful. 🙂
                  Bye

                    local seo nap change of address tool

                    Hello, I'm looking to change a business address to a new one on a Google business profile (still in the same area but on a different street). So, I'll need to update all citations and website with the new address - Is it recommended to update the citations & website first, and then change the address on the Google business profile, or vice-versa? Looking to do this as safely as possible without negatively impacting the rankings much. I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on this. Thanks in advance.

                    What Service Page Strategy Should We Use to Target City-Specific Local Intent Service Keywords?

                    local seo local ranking factors service pages content optimization service based website

                    Hey guys! We are targeting a number of cities in the Nassau and Suffolk County areas for foundation repair, insulation, and mold remediation keywords, and we were debating on creating city-specific pages for each location and service, or creating one service page for each type of service that contains all of the services and solutions within that service category for each city. Example: City-Specific Pages for Each Service: One page for say foundation repair, one page for foundation crack repair, one page for foundation problems, etc. (for each target city) Service Category Pages for Each City: One page for foundation contractors that lists all services on one page in sections. Which one do you think is better for local SEO and rankings? Both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages to me. Just to throw a couple out there, the category pages may not rank as high as the city pages for each individual service if our competitors have a whole page designed for that service and we only have a part of a page covering the topic. At the same time, they would save labor hours, technical issues would be less, and they would be condensed, and we would have WAY less mess on the backend. I appreciate your expert opinion on this one. The site is www. zavzaseal.com in case you want to check us out.

                    Local Site stuck on page 2 for years. Can’t penetrate page 1! Help!

                    Hey there Moz community! This is the first time I've ever asked a question here so please forgive if I slip up on any etiquette. I manage a website for a small Orlando Florida family law and divorce law firm who are targeting search phrases that include those "Orlando divorce attorney" variants. The site is located at https://www.affordablefamilylawyer.com/ If you run a search for "Orlando divorce attorney" along with close variant search terms our law firm website for about the past two years has hovered at the top of the second page of google but has never actually penetrated page 1. When you examine metrics such as page authority, domain authority, trust, and other traditional metrics it tells you that our site should be on page 1 but alas it's not happening. We have, however been featured quite often in the three pack for the local listings for the target search terms. Though valuable, our goal has always been to be featured in the top three of the organic search results. To add to the confusion we have a practice area page located at https://www.affordablefamilylawyer.com/orlando-divorce-lawyer/ dedicated to divorce and expected that page to rank for these divorce attorney search terms but it will not rank for the search terms and instead our homepage ranks for them every single time regardless of how we swap around the optimization on the page. Never had any manual actions. any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated and I really appreciate your time!

                    International Versus Local Backlinks?

                    I'm running a dentist's website and I've been wondering if there is any additional benefit to achieving local backlinks from other medical sites versus larger international ones? For example, if I had a blog article that I wanted another site to link to, would you choose the local medical website within the same city or the international one that has more viewers?

                    How important is citations for an online business?

                    If you run an online business, just how important is citation building? Our client does not want to disclose her physical home address from where she operates and the campaign does not consist of any local keywords. Should we then focus on link building and growing the site's DA instead? As well as getting onpage elements optimised. Many thanks in advance for your input!

                    Giving to Charities in exchange for a backlink is a Paid Link. What about links from real charitable donations?

                    What if my client already donates to charities? They've been donating for years before I thought to conduct linking outreach to their charities... can Google distinguish between honest charitable giving and charity link schemes? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-charity-links-a-paid-link-23094.html

                    Importance of backlinks from legal indexes such as avvo for lawyers

                    I have a client who is a general practice Lawyer. This particular client refuses to acquire free profiles from legal sites such as AVVO, Super Lawyers, and Justia. I have been working with this client for a year and have had a tough time getting him to rank in an ultra competitive marketplace. The other law clients I handle have all secured these backlinks and traffic is produced, domain and page authority is much higher. My client say that he has heard from other lawyers that sites like AVVO produce bad or little results, so he wants no part of them. I feel these lawyers are giving him bad advice. They are competitors and each of them have their profiles on these sites. I thought I would get some thoughts from the community to maybe help back my thoughts on these particular back links. Thanks
