          I am hoping this is the right forum to ask this question. But, I was looking at my backlinks and noticed that I had some go to a page that resembles my site, but had porn words on it. however, it would link to a place on my site. Under more information it has a real link to my site. What is this? I noticed the domain authority was in I believe the 70's; but PA was in 40's. I am new, so can someone explain this. Thank you.

          example below:

            Welcome to the community! It seems like you've encountered a situation where your site has backlinks from a page with adult content. This could be a result of spam or an unintended association. The domain authority suggests a reputable source, but the lower page authority may indicate a less influential specific page. It's advisable to disavow such links and monitor your backlink profile for a healthier online presence. I can relate, as I was also facing the same issue on my Paradise 8 Casino website. Feel free to ask for more guidance from our experienced members. Happy to help!

              Backlink issues can significantly impact a website's SEO. Quality matters, and if your site has backlinks from low-quality or spammy sources, it can lead to penalties from search engines. Regularly analyzing your backlink profile using tools and ensuring ethical link-building strategies are crucial for maintaining a strong online presence. If you've received a penalty, addressing and rectifying the issues is paramount. Additionally, understanding competitors' backlink strategies and optimizing anchor text can contribute to improved search engine rankings. Seek expert advice to navigate these issues effectively and enhance your website's overall SEO performance.

                Well I think that this is something you need to take seriously. Linking from or to porn would most likely get you into SEO problems. I have heard that there are malicious competitors who do that type of thing. I would advise that you do a Google Disavow for the links coming from these porn sites. Please be in the know that SEO experts warn against over using the tool. If you are not familiar with the Disavow tool. I hope it helps and good luck.

                    @Fashion22 Someone might have been trying to link your website on porn for negative SEO, you can just list the URLs and disavow them in your search console.

                      Backlinks from The Sun, New Yor Post, etc...

                      backlinks paid links

                      Hello there, Some of my competitors have backlinks from very well-known newspaper websites like New York Post or The Sun. And it is really obvious that their backlinks are paid ones. On these news websites, they don't talk about ghost writing stuff or "partnership" for backlinks. They only write about banner advertising. So I was wondering how they can get a backlink from them.
                      Do some writers sell those backlinks somewhere else, under the table? Are they in contact with SEO agencies who paid them and if this is the case, does their "manager" know it? or does the company directly have partnerships with SEO agencies? Basically, how to get a backlink from the NY Post or The Sun ? Thanks

                      There are a large number of missing backlinks (old) which are not showing on Moz but do show on Ahrefs. Is there a reason for this? Thanks.

                      How to handle pre-existing backlinks on new site.

                      backlinks

                      Hi - We built a new site on a URL that had previously been used. We are noticing a lot of spammy backlinks pointing to our current site and ending up on a 404 page. Any recommendations on how to handle this?

                      How can a site have a backlink from Barclays website?

                      Hi, I have entered a competitiors website www.my-wardrobe.com into Open Site to see who they get links from and to my surprise they have a load from Barclays Business Banking. When I visit the page I can not see the links. But if I search the pages source code for my-wardrobe, there I have it, a link to my-wardrobe.com. How have they done this? Surely Barclays haven't sold them it? And more so, why are they receiving link juice when you cant even see the link on the Barclays page in question - http://www.barclays.co.uk/BusinessBanking/P1242557952664 Thanks | |

                      Half of my backlinks just disappeared!

                      I was just starting to feel like I was getting traction and all of a sudden half of our external backlinks just disappeared! Over the past 4 months we've taken our total external links from about 2500 to 6500 and with the lastest report, we seem to have lost more than half and are now around 2100. Our domain authority has dropped accordingly too.  I realize that backlinks aren't forever but what in the heck could cause you to loose over 4000 in a one month period? eK9w
