          I have a lot of backlinks ending with .xyz, around 20%, and they look very suspicious. Should I disavow these?

          Here are a few:

          yourrelicsbargains.xyz

          fantasticsiteinfo.xyz

          yourvintagelifestyle.xyz

            Hi spacecollective,

            I think you will be fine. The way the domain names are named themselves already show they are spammy links. The fact that they lead to 522 error confirms it.

              Hi Jack,

              They all lead to error 522 pages, so I am inclined to think they're damaging. I've disavowed them, I'm hoping my SEO won't drop as a result.

                Hi spacecollective,

                Yes, I would disavow these if you've tried all you can to contact the websmaster to get these removed without any success.

                  Disavowing Links

                  I need some advice... I've noticed our link profile has increased with many comments links --- something I certainly have not pursued manually. I'm new to disavowing links. However, before I go ahead and disavow them, I'd like to ask how harmful these links are and would you recommend this is something I can do myself (relatively novice SEO) or if you'd recommend someone who could do this for a reasonable cost. In one instance, the link from this comment thread is with the anchor text, "porn"... Certainly not something we want to rank for, haha! I look forward to your advice

                  Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.

                  Hi,
                  I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim

                  How many links per week/month should a link building campaign acquire?

                  I am running a linkbuilding campaign for my company.  I am mostly focusing on guest blogging opportunities and responding to emails from HARO.  How many links would I have to acquire each week or month to be considered doing a good job over a 6 month or a year time period? Thank you,

                  Link building with PDFs

                  I created a manual for a popular piece of equipment and placed it, as a PDF-file, on my website. The PDF contains a clickable link to the root domain of my website. Other websites have downloaded the PDF and put it on their own website, hosting it themselves. Since Google indexes PDFs, does the link in the PDF count as a regular 'link' from an external website, and does it have comparable value? Can't find any thoughts or studies about this anywhere.

                  Do footer links pass less link juice?

                  One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

                  Footer Links And Link Juice

                  I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5
