There is nothing strange about this, it is just that someone here has taken specific marketing measures. On the other hand, however, it is not always about the quality of the content, but also about the links themselves, the places from which they come directly.
-
Based on the description, it appears to be a site-wide link, possibly originating from their above-the-fold or footer navigation. This is a standard practice for certain collaborations and something I would advocate for, but not solely for SEO purposes. Instead, the goal should be to drive genuine traffic rather than simply obtaining a large number of links (which, at that scale, are likely to have minimal value) from a single partnership.
In some instances, an excessive number of links from a single origin might be perceived as inauthentic linking practices, potentially resulting in a Google penalty. If you're concerned about the quantity of links from a single source, Google Search Console's Disavow Tool can be used to instruct Google to disregard those links.
-
While there's no hard limit to the number of links on each page, consider limiting hyperlinks to what makes sense. If adding a link provides important context or navigational capabilities, add it — but if your page has too many unnecessary links, you might be creating a poor experience for users.

Having too many links from a single site can potentially affect your website's SEO negatively. It's important to maintain a balanced and diverse link profile for better search engine optimization. (Canada PR) ( PMP Exam Prep) (Study abroad)

The individual you mentioned has managed to acquire a substantial number of backlinks from a single site, likely through various methods or partnerships. Whether they will be penalized or not depends on whether these links violate search engine guidelines, such as being considered spammy or manipulative. Search engines may penalize websites for such practices if they're against their guidelines. (Study abroad) (Which Stream Is Hard Science or Commerce) (Canada PR) (PMP Exam Prep)

If you have so many links from a single site, it's important to assess the quality of those links. If they are coming from a high-quality site with relevant content, then they may be beneficial for your SEO. However, if they are coming from a low-quality site or a site that is irrelevant to your niche, then they could actually hurt your ranking.
In some cases, having too many links from a single site can be seen as a sign of link manipulation, which could lead to a Google penalty. If you're concerned about the number of links from a single site, you can use Google Search Console's Disavow Tool to tell Google to ignore those links.

Hy.
I got more than 2000 backlinks from a website on my site spotifypremiumfreeapk.info , do i need to disavow all of them or not?
-
It's a tricky business, trust me. You can get tanked in Search because of it. And when you are, prepare for 6 months of zero organic traffic untill those links are either set to nofollow, or removed completely.
-
i have some 1700 links like those, actually, i posted one link on this edu site and other seo's came and filled that page, now for that post there 1000 pages.
what is the good Amount of these links?
or should be avoided at all costs?
-
Very much a site-wide link it seems, it could be that they're linking this from their top or footer navigation. It's a regular practice for certain partnerships. It's something I'd encourage people to do, but not from an SEO point-of-view as you should aim to drive actual traffic instead of just getting 200K links (with likely barely any value at that scale) out of a partnership.
-
it's called a "Sitewide" link. Yes there's risks to that, as i had a client doing the same on 2 different websites, boosting the amount of incoming links to roughly 250k in less then a month. After that he got tapped, lost all positions, traffic went down significantly, we had to adjust links, and it took on average 6 months to 'recover' from that.

Ecommerce Site homepage , Is it okay to have Links as H2 Tags as that is relevant to the page ?
Hi All, I have a Rental site and I am bit confused with how best do my H Tags on my homepage I know the H1 is the most important, Then H2 Tags and so on.. and that these tags should really be titles for content. However, I have a few categories (links) on my homepage so I am wondering if I could put these as H2 Tags given that it is relevant to the page . H3 Tags will my News and Guides etc , H4 Tags will the whats on the footer. I am attached a made up screenshot of what I propose for my homepage if someone could please give it a quick look , it would be very much appreciated. I have looked at what some competitors do a lot of them don't seem to have h2's etc but I know it's an important factor for rankings etc. Many thanks Pete dJSFQwI

Using both dofollow & nofollow links within the same blog site (but different post).
Hi all, I have been actively pursuing bloggers for my site in order to build page rank. My website sells women undergarments that are more on the exotic end. I noticed a large amount of prospective bloggers demand product samples. As already confirm, bloggers that are given "free" samples should use a rel=no follow attribute in their links. Unfortunately this does not build my page rank or transfer links juice. My question is this: is it advisable for them to also blog additional posts and include dofollow links? The idea is for the blogger to use a nofollow when posting about the sample and a regular link for a secondary post at a later time. What are you thoughts concerning this matter?

Do links to PDF's on my site pass "link juice"?
Hi, I have recently started a project on one of my sites, working with a branch of the U.S. government, where I will be hosting and publishing some of their PDF documents for free for people to use. The great SEO side of this is that they link to my site. The thing is, they are linking directly to the PDF files themselves, not the page with the link to the PDF files. So my question is, does that give me any SEO benefit? While the PDF is hosted on my site, there are no links in it that would allow a spider to start from the PDF and crawl the rest of my site. So do I get any benefit from these great links? If not, does anybody have any suggestions on how I could get credit for them. Keep in mind that editing the PDF's are not allowed by the government. Thanks.

Redirecting one site to another for link juice
I have two sites with same theme - buying cars. I am going remove one of the sites from being crawled permenantly (ie junkthecars.com) and point domian via 301, to another similar theme site (sellthecars.com). The purpose is to simply pass the SEO link juice from one site to the other as we retire junkthecars.com.... Is a forwarding of the domain OK and the best way for the search engines to increase the rank of sellthecars.com (we hate to wast the link work done on Junkthecars.com)? What dangers should I look for that could hurt sellthecars.com if we do the redirect at a simple TLD?

Transfer link juice from old to new site
Hi seomozzers, The design team is building a new website for one of our clients. My role is to make sure all the link juice is kept. My first question is, should I just make 301s or is there another technique to preserve all the link juice from the old to new site that I should be focusing on? Second Question is that ok to transfer link juice using dev urls like www.dev2.example.com (new site) or 182.3456.2333? or should I wait the creation of real urls to do link juice transfer? Thank you 🙂
