301 Direct with a deleted domain newbie
-
Hello I'm wondering if the 301 redirect to your money site with a high pr deleted domain still works post penguin.
Will all the link strength pass on to the new domain? What if the domain has nothing to do with your niche? Does that affect it or no?

i would not worry about PR, all pages have some PR and all is usefull.
i would make sure none of tthe links come from sites that may harm, you spam or porn sites. If they have little PR and are not relevant, then i would not worry about them, but as long as they are not spam paid links they will not harm you.
This page may exlain a bit more abount pr.

So only do a 301 from relevant sites right?
If the PR is 0 will there be strength or does it need a minimum of 1?
What is the effect of a PR1 301 direct on SERPS? What about PR2,3,4?
-
Obviously the second link is better.
My point is that the page the link was pointing to is no longer relevant, it is the link text and linking page that you need to consider.
-
No nothing is relevant.
EXample:
What is better?
PR 3 labeled pornsex.com/asiancuisine.com that has nothing to do with dogs directed to a site about dogs
or
pr 1 labled bdj.com/dog.com that has everything to do with dogs directed to a site about dogs.
-
It should still work, but the fact that it is off topic is not good. A lot of people get this wrong, its not the the page the link was pr3eviously pointing at that should be relevant, but the page that the link comes from. are the links comming from relevant pages? is the link text relevant?

Are Millions of back links from 3 domains bad?
I have a client that has 4 individual domains with duplicate content mirroring certain sections of the main site as well as the home page. I understand the duplicate content issues but have a different question that I would like advice on. I am seeing 3 of these domains back linking to the main domain causing over 5 million backlinks. Is this bad and can it hurt rankings? One domain has 3,215,658 backlinks and another has 1,553,947 backlinks. I have experienced this in the past with a different client, where sister companies back linked using the exact same anchor text caused over 5 million back links. This client experienced a drop of their top 2 keywords where they dropped from # 1 & 2 positions in Google SERPs to the 82nd position. Appreciate feedback

Link building - unique root domains
Hi there, I was wondering when asking for a link, does where on this page it is? For example will someone's high traffic website (e.g. example.com ) provide more page authority than another link on this site ( e.g. example.com/blog ). If this is the case, is it best to get links from multiple pages if possible or will this not effect SEO? Thanks

Root Domain Link for Affiliate's Link
It seems my affiliate link: http://www.hrmsplugins.com?partners=21 is not being considered as a "root domain" backlink when this link is used on their website. Is there a reason for this?

Is there a way to easily add "domain:" in front of an entire list of domains you want to disavow?
I'm submitting some disavow reports for clients. As most of you likely know you can either disavow a URL or a domain. So, to disavow a url, you would enter into the text file: http://www.example.com/this_page.html and to disavow the entire domain you would enter: domain:example.com I find that in most cases you would want to disavow the domain. For example, if there is a backlink on www.exampledirectory.com/health/page24/, by the time Google goes to disavow that link it may be on page 25. However, it is super time consuming to take my list of urls from a spreadsheet and type, "domain:" in front and also remove the http://www. Is there a way this can be done programatically?
