Do links from a Tumblr blog count as inbound links?
-
That's it. I'm thinking of making a Tumblre blog (s) for inbound links. Is it worthwhile?
-
THanks for your help Andy. We are doing just that - guest blogging is a greaty way in - be it with content, infographics or whatever. Works really well for us at the moment.

LOL. It was actually a very reputable conference/speaker... I don't think they were advocating link farming, but moreover the principal of it.
I agree though - I'm actually very white hat (have to be!) so it's not something I'd consider. 100% agree with root domains being more important. Thanks for your help.
-
Really? Well, that is very wrong
If Google gets wind of anything like that, you will get a real kick in the pants! Get your fingers busy and start writing some great content for others to link to
Regards, Andy

I think you should start visiting other speakers on your seminars
The amount of root domains linking to you is far more important that the numbers of links from a domain. Having 50 Tumblr blogs would never count as good as 50 different sites linking to you.
-
who moi? LOL
No - i don't think I'd do that - was more over looking at the principal of it (as opposed to the rights/wrongs). At a seminar I went to recently one of the speakers had over 50 Tumblr sites and was touting this as a legitimate tactic...
-
That sounds to me like you are wanting to start your own little link-farm - I would advise you steer well clear of this!
Regards,
Andy

Yeah. I'm thinking the same... But what about if you had 100 Tumblr blogs???
-
I think they do, as I can't find any 'nofollow' on their links. However, unless if you have a really popular (and well linked to Tumblr blog), I don't think the value will be large.

Are links from charities really better than 'normal' links.
Hi Guys. Just wondering about this idea that links from Charities are particularly good. I've heard people say that links from .org sites are particularly strong. But anyone can get a .org domain, it's just that charities tend to use them more often. Right? I just don't get the logic. Can anyone give more detail about this? Is it a myth? Is there quality info on this topic I can check out? We're working with several charities at the moment, and they all seem happy to blog and link to us...so I just wanted to know a little more. Isaac.

Domain Change, loss of inbound links ...
We're strongly considering a domain name change; this is purely for marketing reasons. We think in the long term, this will be a good thing. I believe we can mitigate the page redirection, branding changes, etc. My concern are the inbound links: from 200+ domains, 3,000+ links. So, I guess we can contact each of the top sites linking to us and hope they update our links. I'm not hopeful. I believe we'll loose must of the links. Has anyone been down this road and have experience to share?

What should I expect, worst case? Is there a way to mitigate? Thanks much.

14,000 blog comment spam links placed on one domain!!
Trying to clear up a manual link penalty a client has received and I have found the client's site has been blog commenting 14,000 times on just one domain!! I need to do a reconsideration request and show Google that I have cleaned up the mess (the client has 50k backlinks, of which I am not happy with about 75% so far!!) but I cannot expect the website in question to go through 14k pages. What would people advise here. Would you state the sheer number of links on this site in the reconsideration request and use the disavow tool? Doesn't this suggest that I have been lazy and not put the effort into to clearing things up up

Inbound Links - will it benefit?
Hello everyone! Just a quick question about inbound links! I managed to be listed as a guest writer on a blog and I am allowed to publish two articles (maybe more if I had more time to write) on it with one link for each article. The blog has a very good PR compared to my PR2 site. My website is an e-commerce site and I was thinking to build few links pointing to different pages of the site, but because links come from the same domain will it benefit? By the way there is not link exchange or anything, I get a link for the articles I publish. Cheers Oscar

External linking on a company blog
This has been bothering me for a long time. Our company has a sub-domain blog that gets a respectable amount of traffic but not a lot of SER. Most of our traffic comes from social shares (although we do rank really high for a few key searches). The blog manager is convinced that providing external links to additional resources or source material "dilutes the SEO juice" for the blog. URLs are provided, but they aren't linked. Attempts to sway her to the idea that external links are actually Good Things® have been stonewalled. Tell me I'm right and why.

Are you careful about linking back to sites that link to you?
Suppose that a trusted website added you to their recommended links page. Do you worry that linking back to them from a page on your site will diminish the value of the original link?

Links from Real Estate Websites Link Page, Do or Don't?
It seems that real estate sites have at times been under heavier scrutiny from the search engines. But real estate agents get networking, which makes acquiring those links a little bit easier. Plus with localization of search, I think real estate sites may give off a good GEO scent. Should SEO's go for links from real estate websites? Does a reciprocal link devalue said links?
