          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?

                  Handling pre-existing backlinks when launching a new site is an important aspect of SEO. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to manage them effectively:

                  Backlink Audit:

                  Conduct a thorough backlink audit to identify all existing backlinks pointing to your new site. Use tools like Google Search Console, Ahrefs, or Moz to gather this information.

                  Quality Assessment:

                  Evaluate the quality of each backlink. Focus on links from reputable, authoritative, and relevant websites. Identify and address any backlinks from low-quality or spammy sources.

                  Redirects for Changed URLs:

                  If your new site has different URLs than the previous one, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the corresponding new ones. This ensures that visitors and search engines are seamlessly directed to the updated content.

                  Contact Webmasters for Updates:

                  Reach out to the webmasters of reputable sites linking to your old site. Inform them of the domain change and request an update to the link. Provide the new URL and any other relevant information.

                  Update Listings and Profiles:

                  If your site is listed in directories, forums, or other platforms, update your profile information to reflect the new domain. This helps in maintaining the consistency of your online presence.

                  Submit Updated Sitemap:

                  Submit the updated sitemap of your new site to search engines through Google Search Console. This helps search engines discover and index the new pages and changes more efficiently.

                  Monitor 404 Errors:

                  Keep an eye on your website's 404 error pages using tools like Google Search Console. Address any broken links promptly by redirecting them to relevant pages on your new site.

                  Content Relevance:

                  Ensure that the content on your new site is relevant to the context of the backlinks. If there are discrepancies, consider optimizing the content to align with the anchor text and overall theme of the linking pages.

                  Build New Backlinks:

                  As you work on managing existing backlinks, also focus on building new, high-quality backlinks for your new site. This helps in strengthening your site's authority and improving its search engine rankings.

                  Regular Monitoring:

                  Continuously monitor your backlink profile using SEO tools. Regularly check for new backlinks and ensure that existing ones remain valuable and relevant.
                  By systematically addressing pre-existing backlinks during the launch of your new site, you can maintain the integrity of your SEO efforts and help search engines understand the changes, ultimately supporting a smooth transition and minimizing any negative impact on your rankings.

                      error backlinks moz pro

                      "I have been maintaining 5 directories of backlinks in the 'Link Tracking List' section for several months. However, I am unable to locate any of these links at this time. Additionally, the link from my MOZ profile is currently broken and redirects to an error page, no to Elche Se Mueve. Given the premium pricing of MOZ's services, these persistent errors are unacceptable."

                      Can Foreign Language Backlinks Be Valuable?

                      backlinks link building

                      I've done a lot of searching on this subject, but I keep seeing conflicting answers. Are backlinks from foreign language websites valuable? For example, a travel website in English picks up a couple backlinks in Indonesian language (and other languages) from foreign sites that have a DA of 60-70 or higher. The topic is partially related, but the language is totally different. Would those links still be valuable for the English website's DA? Has this ever been answered conclusively? Thanks

                      Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

                      link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

                      Hi there
                      I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
                      The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
                      Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
                      Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
                      I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
                      The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
                      I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

                      I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.

                      Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: Homeworkpaper.net Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer.

                      New to the "backlinking" party. Wondering if its 'good practice' to trade links with other websites within a like-industry. We've been receiving a lot of emails from other websites asking us to trade links.  Is this a good link building practice anymore? Thanks!

                      Linking strategy between my own sites

                      Hi, I have one main site, let's call it  food.com I also have 10 smaller sites, let's call them   mexicanfood.com, indianfood.com, italianfood.com etc food.com is on its own separate dedicated server the 10 smaller sites are all on a shared IP in hostgator I don't want Google to think that I have created the 10 sites for only purpose of creating links to each other. So, would you recommend that all those 10 sites link to each other? or should there be no interlinking within those 10 same IP domains? What about linking from those 10 sites to my main site? How should I structure my own backlinks not to get penalized by Google ?
