There is nothing strange about this, it is just that someone here has taken specific marketing measures. On the other hand, however, it is not always about the quality of the content, but also about the links themselves, the places from which they come directly.
-
Based on the description, it appears to be a site-wide link, possibly originating from their above-the-fold or footer navigation. This is a standard practice for certain collaborations and something I would advocate for, but not solely for SEO purposes. Instead, the goal should be to drive genuine traffic rather than simply obtaining a large number of links (which, at that scale, are likely to have minimal value) from a single partnership.
In some instances, an excessive number of links from a single origin might be perceived as inauthentic linking practices, potentially resulting in a Google penalty. If you're concerned about the quantity of links from a single source, Google Search Console's Disavow Tool can be used to instruct Google to disregard those links.
-
While there's no hard limit to the number of links on each page, consider limiting hyperlinks to what makes sense. If adding a link provides important context or navigational capabilities, add it — but if your page has too many unnecessary links, you might be creating a poor experience for users.

Having too many links from a single site can potentially affect your website's SEO negatively. It's important to maintain a balanced and diverse link profile for better search engine optimization. (Canada PR) ( PMP Exam Prep) (Study abroad)

The individual you mentioned has managed to acquire a substantial number of backlinks from a single site, likely through various methods or partnerships. Whether they will be penalized or not depends on whether these links violate search engine guidelines, such as being considered spammy or manipulative. Search engines may penalize websites for such practices if they're against their guidelines. (Study abroad) (Which Stream Is Hard Science or Commerce) (Canada PR) (PMP Exam Prep)

If you have so many links from a single site, it's important to assess the quality of those links. If they are coming from a high-quality site with relevant content, then they may be beneficial for your SEO. However, if they are coming from a low-quality site or a site that is irrelevant to your niche, then they could actually hurt your ranking.
In some cases, having too many links from a single site can be seen as a sign of link manipulation, which could lead to a Google penalty. If you're concerned about the number of links from a single site, you can use Google Search Console's Disavow Tool to tell Google to ignore those links.

Hy.
I got more than 2000 backlinks from a website on my site spotifypremiumfreeapk.info , do i need to disavow all of them or not?
-
It's a tricky business, trust me. You can get tanked in Search because of it. And when you are, prepare for 6 months of zero organic traffic untill those links are either set to nofollow, or removed completely.
-
i have some 1700 links like those, actually, i posted one link on this edu site and other seo's came and filled that page, now for that post there 1000 pages.
what is the good Amount of these links?
or should be avoided at all costs?
-
Very much a site-wide link it seems, it could be that they're linking this from their top or footer navigation. It's a regular practice for certain partnerships. It's something I'd encourage people to do, but not from an SEO point-of-view as you should aim to drive actual traffic instead of just getting 200K links (with likely barely any value at that scale) out of a partnership.
-
it's called a "Sitewide" link. Yes there's risks to that, as i had a client doing the same on 2 different websites, boosting the amount of incoming links to roughly 250k in less then a month. After that he got tapped, lost all positions, traffic went down significantly, we had to adjust links, and it took on average 6 months to 'recover' from that.

I help manage a large website with over 20M backlinks and I want to find all of the broken ones. What would be the most efficient way to go about this besides exporting and checking each backlink's reponse code? Thank you in advance!

Unique domains vs. single domain for UGC sites?
Working on a client project - a UGC community that has a DTC model as well as a white label model. Is it categorically better to have them all under the same domain? Trying to figure which is better: XXX,XXX pages on one site vs. A smaller XXX,XXX pages on one site and XX,XXX pages on 10-20 other sites all pointing to the primary site. The thinking on the second was that those domains would likely achieve high DA as well as the primary, and would passing their value to the primary. Thoughts? Any other considerations we should be thinking about?

Managing Subsidiaries. Should I house them all in a single domain? What about a single social media presence?
Situation: My company has 8 subsidiaries. They each have their own niche (IT, Electrical, Roofing, etc...). We also have offices in multiple countries (If that's even a factor). Questions: 1. Should I establish a web presence for each one? (www.SubsidiaryOne.com) I would then link to these sites from www.ParentCompany.com. The other options are to do something like www.ParentCompany.com/SubsidiaryOne or SubsidiaryOne.ParentCompany.com. We are trying to build the brand of the parent company so I figured that housing everything inside of the parent company domain would help me meet my goal. Each company will have its own unique content, products, blogs, etc... 2. Should each subsidiary have its own social media presence (Its own Google+, Twitter, FB, etc...) or should I house them all under the umbrella of the parent? Thanks, Alex

Transfer link juice from old to new site
Hi seomozzers, The design team is building a new website for one of our clients. My role is to make sure all the link juice is kept. My first question is, should I just make 301s or is there another technique to preserve all the link juice from the old to new site that I should be focusing on? Second Question is that ok to transfer link juice using dev urls like www.dev2.example.com (new site) or 182.3456.2333? or should I wait the creation of real urls to do link juice transfer? Thank you 🙂
