Buying a domain from auction
-
Hi Mozer's
There is a domain in auction. I can see it has a PA of 40 and DA of 29 and PR of 2
Is it worth buying for $999? any suggestions?

Thanks EGOL

If the domain still has an active site on it with content that merits the links it has received it might be worth the money - if it is still in the Google index and ranking well for its content.
Keep in mind that lots of domains that are offered for sale have temporary links into them to give them PR and other metrics that buyers are interested in.
I would not buy it unless I had plans for a site that perfectly matches the domain. However, some people buy them because they think that they can get value by redirecting it to a different domain.

thanks for that, updated
What you think? Can I go for that?

Are you asking a question or trying to attract interest?
Somebody might grab it if you leave the domain name in your post.

Automatic links from other domains when we create a new landing page - Is this a spammy technique?
Hi everyone, Recently we've discovered 2-3 sites (which we own the domains names) and these sites seem to automatically create links to our new landing pages on our main site. Those sites also can't be accessed in your browser as it redirects straight to our main website. So, for example, we create a new landing page on our main site, and then Moz has been picking up links to this page from these other domains with text such as "Book now". I think historically someone in the company set up loads of sites with redirects and there must be something automatically happening. Is this likely to be a spammy technique? Ie we seem to be getting "follow" links from other domains every time we create a new page." Also as this could be quite a negative thing we've discovered I can't really give our out business links, but really appreciate your tips and advice. I'm trying to work out what to do if this is a spammy technique and also affecting our trust scores etc and what we should do about it. Thanks for your help and input. 🙂Mike

Domain extensions and link building
Hi, If you were trying to rank your website for a search term in Google UK, would it be more beneficial to build links from .co.uk websites then any other? I have read on Hubspot if your targeting UK rankings then link building from .co.uk domains will have a good impact on UK rankings? Thanks

.com links for .co.uk domains
Hi, I was wondering whether .com links from the US for .co.uk domains increase the search engine visibility of .co.uk domain in the UK just as much as .co.uk links for .co.uk domains (assuming they are all top quality content links)? (Context: I have heard that it does from someone who should know, but I would like to double check on that) If half of the backlinks for a .co.uk domain are from .com domains in the US is this a dangerous pattern Google would pick up on?

Minimum desired for Domain Authority and Page Authority
I see messages and threads talking about the less importance on PageRank and more importance on Domain Authority and Page Authority. As I work on our link building, do I steer away from low DA and PA websites? If so, whats the minimum threshold I should stay away from? If I see a site that has a Domain Authority as low as 9 - is that the minimum? What is? What do you think?

Should I add forward slash when linking to a domain?
I'm doing some work on an ecommerce website which appears as www.domain.com/ I'm just curious about the relevance of the forward slash at the end when I'm linking to the website. Should I link to www.domain.com or www.domain.com/ or does this even matter? Thanks
