Should I build a blog on is.edu ?
-
is.edu is offering free subdomains recently, I want to know does it worth the effort to build a few PBN on their free subdomains?
-
What happened in year 2020? The juice on .GOV and .EDU backlinks suddenly dropped?
-
You realize this is the year 2020, right?
-
Because .EDU has some link juice in compare to .com or any other TLD that any random Joe can register and spam the hell out of it.
-
Spend your time building something great on your main website. I sure would not build an outhouse on is.edu.
-
No. It's not worth it. Maybe you can fill me in on why you think it might be.

Dodgy links across top ranking sites in a certain industry - Could this be negative link building?
Hi, I've noticed repeated low value / high spam backlinks directing to a site that I manage, and despite disavowing, new links showing similar anchor text keep appearing. See sample in the table below: <colgroup><col width="514"> <col width="407"> <col width="364"></colgroup>

Are bloggs published on blog platforms and on our own site be considered duplicate content?
Hi, SEO wizards! My company has a company blog on Medium (https://blog.scratchmm.com/). Recently, we decided to move it to our own site to drive more traffic to our domain (https://scratchmm.com/blog/). We re-published all Medium blogs to our own website. If we keep the Medium blog posts, will this be considered duplicate content and will our website rankings we affected in any way? Thank you!

Do any sub-domains act as Private Blog Networks?
Hi All, We can see now that Google rolled 2 unconfirmed algo updates this month and they are penalising spam links and sites which use Private blog networks; as said by some SEO experts. Do any sub-domains act as PBNs because of too much linking...like linking website pages from every page of sub-domains?

Link Building after Google updates!
Hello All, I just wanted to ask the question to start a discussion on link building after the Google Updates. I haven't been very proactive lately with regards to link building due to the updates and not wanting to get penalised! Are there any link building trends/techniques people are using since the changes? Thanks, seo_123

Is Blog Commenting Worth Doing Anymore?
I set a little bit of time aside for each client to comment on blogs for backlinks, but it just seems like a waste of time at this point. Most blogs have comments turned off, or won't allow links. Obviously making your name a keyword and making that a link is very spammy, and alot of blogs are using Disqus or making you login with your facebook account to post a comment. What's the best way of going about this these days, or is it not even worth the time?

If I were to change the geographic keyword such as "foreclosures in Dallas" on 20 related blogs to "foreclosures in Los Angeles" what would happen?
In other words I'm wondering if someone built up an internet presence for their company through multiple websites over the years and then decided to move to another part of the united states, would it work to change all the keywords to the new location? Would that work toward getting them ranked in the new area or would you have to create entirely new websites? Thanks guys.
