Is healthygallbladder.com a spammy site?
-
Hello Moz Community!
We're getting many back links with random anchor text (completely irrelevant) from a website called healthygallbladder.com and various subdomains under that domain. Has anyone else come across this website?
I can't seem to load the pages at all. It always comes up with a bandwidth exceeded message.
-
Good move! This recently happened to my site as well; someone created an account and then sent thousands of sites from over 100 domains to that page. Best to disavow.
-
I would say our DA is moderate at best. Turns out I'm finding a ton of these gallbladder sites that you can't access that are linking to us. I ended up disavowing.
-
Weird! Quick question: does your site have a decent DA? I wonder if this site is selling links to weak sites, and they're trying to mask that by also linking to high quality sites, like yours.

I was finally able to get a look at the site by looking at what Bing actually cached:
Interesting enough, the part where they seem to link to random sites and have a poor choice of words, irrelevant text, and poor grammar is the part where they list out "more resources..." about said topic.
Here are a few examples:
- Download your report for 50% off today! Now the doctor has convinced you and you should drink the juice of fresh fruits and juices.http://www.liverspot.net/index.html - This is your bedside manner person.
Sounds completely spammy.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? None of the ones listed are my website but you get the idea.
-
This is probably referral spam. Take a look at this article: https://www.distilled.net/resources/quick-fix-for-referral-spam-in-google-analytics/

Thanks for your response.
It just seems a bit fishy that I can't find much information about this site. They have 34K backlinks yet their site isn't indexed and doesn't render. Their domain is sending my site the 2nd highest amount of backlinks to our site.
We sell braces and supports. Here's an example of one of their links from this page on their site that doesn't work: http://healing.healthygallbladder.com/406067/liver-function-test-out-of-range/
This is the text - "A where is the liver located in the body doctor - Mark Kirk, the idea of her jumping up on you should know that"
The underlined is the anchor text which links to a page on our site about shoulder braces....it is completely irrelevant in so many ways. The information on the page as you can see doesn't make sense.
I just want to make sure we don't get hit with anything so I'm curious about how proactive I need to be because if it does come down to having to ask them to remove links...it'll be difficult as you can imagine.
Thanks!

It doesn't look like that site is even indexed by Google. Even if it were, disavowing an entire site is pretty easy so a one domain spam attack wouldn't be very effective.
I wouldn't worry about it unless you experience a massive rankings drop.

301 redirect from a de-indexed site
Is link juice passed from a website that has been intentionally de-indexed by webmaster? The scenario is I had 2 websites with similar content. I decided to get rid of one by de-indexing. I also did a 301redirect from my de-indexed site. Not the whole domain but just the 2 URL's which I believe could pass on link juice. In this case how long the link juice would flow via 301 redirect?

Somone is creating a ton of links to my site!!!
Today I looked at site explorer and found over 1100 linking root domains and over 750 linking c-blocks. My site was hovering around 200 linking root domains and 150 linking c-blocks. I have not paid anyone to link to my site... Is this one of my competitors trying to create negative seo for a specific key word? I've worked very hard to never try to build links and only get links naturally by providing good content that people would want to link to. Can all hundreds of new links hurt me? What can I do? my site is www.yakangler.com | | |

Reassessing site achitecture
Firstly I'm only a recently new member but am already a big fan and rely on the tools a lot. For the sake of context, our site is www.cleancruising.com.au which we've steadily built into one of Australia's top cruise sites. We've focussed on building unique content including a mapping engine to show over 10,000 cruise routes, 3D ship models for virtual tour simulations and over 350,000 words of unique descriptive content. So we think we've got some good content which we currently rank quite well for, but think there's a lot of room for improvement with the links, both internal and inbound. Looking at the internal links, I thought the site architecture was pretty good but now I'm not so sure. The site hierarchy is like this: home > cruiseline (20) > ship (200) > itinerary page (12000) > enquiry form and home > region (25) > port (1400) > itinerary page (12000) > enquiry form My question is, am I wasting link juice by doing the following? A sample itinerary page shows lots of links through to the enquiry form (with different parameters). However years ago we added the enquiry form to be blocked via robots.txt and none of these page variations are indexed by google. Is this stuffing up the link flow, and should I allow the forms to be indexed so their links can add value back through the site? Are there any tools for visualizing a site link structure? Lots of questions and hope this is appropriate. 1am in Australia so may take a few hours before any follow up posts, cheers

Old Site not Passing Along Links?
Recently, we created a new website for a client, and put it on a new domain. We put a 301 redirect site-wide on the old site. The 301 is working correctly, and any visit to the old site is now going to the new one. So, from a functionality standpoint, we're looking good. However, looking at the domain authority of the sites, it doesn't seem that the old links are passing value to the new site. The old site had 43 linking root domains, and a domain authority of 30, compared to the new site with 16 linking root domains and an authority of 22. If I understand correctly, the links should be viewed as pointing to the new site and passing link juice to the new one, correct? Is there a reason why this may be happening that I should be looking into? Any thoughts or advice on this one would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Lots of old links to our wine rack store site from many years ago, how do I get these removed? block them? Not sure if Penguin got us because of these....

Dripable.com and dripfeed.com. I really see no value whatsoever in any service like this. If anyone has an opinion that differs from mine. Go ahead.
I cant believe people are still using services like this. The interesting thing is that they do seem to offer great customer service, but that "service" seems to only spin comment spam and back profile backlinks. Id love for our community to discuss more sites like this so that Junior SEO's or people just starting dong get wooed by the promise of AWESOME links. Cheers,
