          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.

                      Backlink builder (Professional)

                      backlink profile backlinks

                      If I wanted to hire a professional person to build high quality backlinks for me, where would I look? I'm asking here because I'd rather go on the recommendation of other businesses owners, than a google search. Does anyone have a person that they can recommend? It's for an insurance agency in Texas. Many thanks

                      Do .ac.uk (UK education / university sites) count in the same way as .edu backlinks

                      With regards to link trust are backlinks from .ac.uk (wiki on .ac.uk) count in the same way as .edu backlinks ?

                      Hidden Backlinks

                      Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. We have a competitor who appears to be ranking No1 for a competitive search term with a very lame site and above some authoritative sites. He has been here for some time as well. When we check out his back link profile through OSE, Majestic and Ahrefs they show as only 3 backlinks from no PR sites. However, someone pointed out that they could be using a link network that is blocking every crawler apart from Google, Yahoo and BIng. I would like to know if there is a way to confirm this. For instance I know that we can use screaming frog to mimic Googlebot, however, if there a way to reveal the real backlinks to a site like this using any tools. Thanks

                      Backlinks embedded in posts or backlinks in sidebar?

                      What's better? A backlink to my site, embedded into a blog post/article? Or a hardlink in the sidebar? The problem with links embedded inside articles, is that when the blog linking to me, gets updated, the articles disappear from first page and I lose the link from home page. How do you deal with this? I also read this: "The best link you can get is from a site ranking #1 for the keyword you want to rank for. It would be great to have the #1 site for a desired keyword linking me even if they are a PR 0 site." Is this right? Thx in advance.

                      Top 20 sites for backlinking

                      My security jobs website was doing very well in Search engines until the penguin got hold of me.  I don't profess to be at pro at SEO however seem to have a knack of getting sites to rank well.  I think I made some basic mistakes with the original security jobs website, to many links to soon, so I have started again and will build up slowly the backlinks quality rather than quantity this time.  My questions is what are the top 20 or so sites that are good to backlink from?

                      Does Google knows the IP addresses that the backlinks are created from? if i create 200 backlinks for my site without proxies will google ban my site because it will look like i a the one who create all the backlinks? May i ask how many proxies do you guys need to create around 200 backlinks per day? If i already use the proxies today Can i use the same set of proxies to create backlinks tomorrow? THanks

                      Backlinks: What are they really and how can I create them.

                      I am relatively new to the SEO world, and I want to build backlinks linking to our main site. My preferred way to create backlinks is by adding them in my blog comments or forum responses. I am an active participant in a large number of blogs/forums related to our field and I would like to add relevant backlinks in the comments/answers I post. I originally thought that a backlink was just a link, but none of the links that I have added to blogs like that have been recognized as backlinks. https://www.dynaread.com/ Why is this so? I know now that good backlink would be something like: Dynaread is a science based dyslexia remediation program for older struggling readers. However I have no idea how to add this types of links to blog comments or forum pages where there is no link tool. Do I have to do something with HTML? Please explain briefly what a backlink really is and most importantly how I can create them. Thank you in advance for your help! Joy P.S if you have suggestions about some resources where I can learn more about the subject please let me know. I love to learn more.
