Very unsure about thousands of backlinks from jesse tree
-
Google Search Console shows 4K backlinks from jessetree.net (i do not see this backlink in Moz inbound links though). I have been tracking backlinks from this domain for half a year and it fluctuates between 1K and 6K is the highest I have seen it, not sure what is causing the link count to change. We are using Google's disavow tool against this domain and have been for 5 months. Does anyone have any idea what jesse tree is and any insight into this odd (to me) backlink situation?

This probably isn't the last time you'll see some odd linking behavior to your site. You're doing the right thing by keeping an eye out on your backlink profile.

Thank you for your response. So I looked at what pages in my site these backlinks link to, looking at GSC > Links > Top linking sites > jessetree.net, and all 4k+ links to my home page. Just to make sure, i checked other GSC properties on my radar and see if a domain backlins to multiple pages, GSC shows it. But in the case of jessetree.net, everything links to the home page. in fact, GSC also shows 1 for target pages from this domain. then i went deeper with GSC > latest links and found 2 links from this domain and loaded them for insight, but only see a WordPress error. So nothing really learned there.
GSC > latest links, 2 instanced of 4k+ linking to my home page
these links just load a wordpress error.

Have you tried looking at the nature of some of these links? What do the pages with the links look like? its not uncommon to see things like this... there could be many explanations - spam, scraping bots, remnants of staging environments amongst a few.
If you have disavowed the whole domain, then there is nothing to worry about.

Do I want backlinks from companies my site has a business relationship with
I automatically think yes... but nofollow links will be safer - that would be my choice as I always err on the side of caution... If I reached out to the entire network with quality content, as I would through a PR campaign, I am wondering whether the pre-existing business relationship would mean the link wouldn't be seen as truly independent by Google. Your thoughts would be welcome, Luke

Thousands of 503 errors in GSC for pages not important to organic search - Is this a problem?
Hi, folks A client of mine now has roughly 30 000 503-errors (found in the crawl error section of GSC). This is mostly pages with limited offers and deals. The 503 error seems to occur when the offers expire, and when the page is of no use anymore. These pages are not important for organic search, but gets traffic from direct and newsletters, mostly. My question:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Inevo
Does having a high number of 503 pages reported in GSC constitute a problem in terms of organic ranking for the domain and the category and product pages (the pages that I want to rank for organically)? If it does, what is the best course of action to mitigate the problem? Looking excitingly forward to your answers to this 🙂 Sigurd0 -
Why Doesn't Moz Use Wistia Backlink Embed Feature
I am using Wistia videos for my website and they have an embed feature which gives option to include a backlink to one's site, which I thought was great. I took a random Moz whiteboard Friday video (http://moz.com/blog/what-should-i-put-on-the-homepage-whiteboard-friday) and I do not see the backlink feature if I click on "embed" button below the video. Question: why would Moz not use such feature? Bad SEO or simply because Moz does not need it?

Why is my Crawl Report Showing Thousands of Pages that Do Not Exist?
Hi, I just downloaded a Crawl Summary Report for a client's website. I am seeing THOUSANDS of duplicate page content errors. The overwhelming majority of them look something like this: ERROR: http://www.earlyinterventionsupport.com/resources/parentingtips/development/parentingtips/development/development/development/development/development/development/parentingtips/specialneeds/default.aspx This page doesn't exist and results in a 404 page. Why are these pages showing up? How do I get rid of them? Are they endangering the health of my site as a whole? Thank you, Jenna <colgroup><col width="1051"></colgroup>

EDU Backlinks wrapped in Wiki worthwhile?
I asked below question yesterday and got some answers, but am still looking for more justification whether such links are worthwhile getting or not. Here is the question: An SEO expert offers my site backlinks from .edu's wrapped in wiki. Structure as follows "wiki.xxx.UNINAME.edu/etc..etc" - the pages have authority of 1 (domain obviously high with the dot edu) but there is no relevant info on the pages and obviously wiki links are no follow. This does not sound right to me, but can anyone share some insight since it is wiki + edu combined it sounds on surface like credibility, but with page having no relevant content I feel it isn't right.
