Would you suggest submitting a website to a travel platform which gets backlinks from link farms?
-
The website of the travel platform is well designed and looks serious - without any adsense or suspicious links on it. So does the email newsletter of them.
But I checked the domain in OSE and saw not less links which came from more or less linkfarms with very often the same anchor text.
Would you suggest your customer to submit on the platform?
-
Considering you can't get penalised by a backlink form a spammy site ("negative" SEO), I would submit the site to the travel platform if it does no cost much time/money.
Reading your response to Gianluca, it looks like the backlinks are not so spammy so you should do it without fears.
-
I would do more DD and see if those links coming in are going to weigh the site down as noted already by Gianluca. If the linked site has strong trust, and those sites linking to it have some trust, then I would consider getting that link and perhaps informing the travel site with your findings.
-
mmm... well.
Even though I would stay on alert in order to see if the link profile of that portal is going to affect the ranking of the portal itself, therefore the link to your client site, if its competitors are there also your Client site should be there.
But that link would have been just one of a rich link profile, so that something bad can come from it, it won't affect the general health of your client site.

Yes I did.
mT: 5.75
DmT: 3.88
Of the link sources to the directory - sometime bad mT, sometimes not so bad.On that platform there are several huge brands / hotels in there, too.

Question: did you checked the MozTrust metric of that site? And the MozTrust of those supposed link farms?
Because that should be the main metric I would look at.
If I link a to site that links to poor trusted feed, I risk to see reduced my trustrank metric; so I would prefer to no submit my site to it, as I believe the trust metrics of sites are going to play an even bigger role in rankings.

How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.
So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

https://www.prendas.co.uk/collections/headwear/cotton-caps I feel this would not only help my customers browsing my store, but I believe it will help from an SEO perspective. How can I search my site using Moz, Screaming Frog, Google etc to find every time cycling cap(s) is used but is not linked to the above URL? I can then apply the same for cycling jerseys, socks, etc Andy0 -

Why Google is not getting many of the links to my site?
Hello, I have a website for cosmetics, selling and a lot of information (http://www.vipcosmetica.com). For about half a year I've been working also in seo for several google keywords. My question is about the external links to my site. Using different tools, including those of SEOMoz, I see just a few links to my site, however there are plenty, because I've been putting them myself, in public directories, related blogs, industry websites and so on. Alexa shows 5 links only, OpenSiteExplorer shows 4, and Market Samurai 9. I thinks theres should be like 50-60 links, minimum, in pages with good google PR (Youtube, Vimeo, Vulka, Hotfrog, Digg, Flickr, etc.). In Alexa, recently two more links appeared, from two blogs that have copied some content from my site (priveta policy) without changing the original links that point to other pages on my site, and those are the links that Alexa shows now. What could be the reason the rest of the links do not appear at all? Thank you very much
