i want to ask a question. i am sure this is kind black hat seo.
look at this web site http://www.199999dollars.com/
if we also create website like this and put a banner as domain for sale and in the footer put back links to our domain ?
thanks

Of course the OSE domain authority isn't going to be truly representative for a domain like this. I don't think search engines would treat it so generously (it's only got a toolbar pagerank of 1)
-
Exactly, I agree with you, is a shame that this goes on, probably always will !
Those figures from OSE will be correct at face value, however won't take into account any search engine penalty that could be applied and indeed, should & likely will be applied at some point. Unethical spammy practices such as this can have high scores such as you've identified here, doesn't mean what has gone on is sustainable though.
Which leads on to your question; Yes, what they've done (based on your findings) is the creation of a link farm, with many of their own domains with poor quality websites/landing pages all linking to one another. It's a great example of what not to do for anybody with any ethical search ethics.
So don't worry about it, just concentrate on creating your own valuable site that adds some value to your visitors' experience.

actually these kind of domains dont have any value and no one want them too..

even i feel the same.
that is so sad that these companies are doing this kind of things to gain popularity.. they are buying more and more domains and just linking to their own root domain.
but when i see opensiteexplorer for this site www.acuista.com/... these are the results
| Page Authority | Domain Authority | Linking Root Domains | Total Links | Facebook Shares | Facebook Likes | Tweets | Google +1 |
| 64/100 | 57/100 | 773 | 35,637 | 68 | 11 | 22 6 | |most of their links coming from this domain http://www.comprarportatiles.com/ which is their own website and when ever the user adds a product to the cart and proceed to check out it will be redirected and add the same product to the cart of acuista.com
the second method above mentioned also treated as spam ?
thanks

Keep in mind how people stumbling upon sites like this may perceive you site/brand.
For people trying to find a domain for their business these kind of operations are rather annoying and can feel like exploitation!

Hi Ravi
As you mention SEO in your question, I am relating my answer to SEO.
Your suspicions are justified, as in there being no SEO value in doing anything like this. It adds absolutely no value to any User's Experience, no SEO value, I personally and professionally regard it as a pointless unethical practice.
If somebody has a domain for sale, then fair enough in putting a sales banner on the homepage, however doing so with the hope of gaining any SEO benefit and including all those links to other spammy domains is a game that can only be lost.
So I'd recommend to Not follow suit and to help keep the Web a better place by avoiding doing the same if SEO benefits are the main goal.
Regards,
Simon

Guidelines for keyword-targeting and link building?
Hello, Every month, I set a goal of targeting 10 - 15 relevant keywords for my website. I then attempt to boost my site's rankings for these terms through a combination of content writing and white hat, non-paid link building. My question is: Are there general guidelines for keyword-targeting and backlinks? Is it healthy to target 10 - 15 different keywords (or more??) like this per month?

Build links to home page or internal to rank internal pages?
I understand that naturally people link to the home page and internal pages - probably the home page more often than not. In order to build a natural looking link profile I also understand that I need a variety of anchor text, brand and url links. Should I be building links mainly to the home page with only a few to internal pages? Ultimately I want my internal pages to rank for specific terms so in my head it makes sense to concentrate my link building effort to internal pages but that would seem unnatural to google I'm sure. For arguments sake if I only built links to the home page with a mix of the anchor texts described above would these internal pages rank eventually anyway as 'link juice' flows throughout the site? Or is it an absolute must to build some links to internal pages. Could a page rank for a keyword without having any links to the site with the keyword anchor text (simply url links) based on the page title/content? Also what is a good ratio of home page to internal links? I would assume around 10:1? A lot of questions I know but I'm confused as to what will be the best strategy.

LInk Building Ideas for Large Site

Can anyone suggest me good link building strategy for larger websites as each url will have different keyword, i want all of my urls to be ranked well. Waiting for your replies.

Link Building
I noticed another SEO builds backlinks (tons) on a social media profile that then has a link to his client's site. Another site he builds backlinks are a bitly account that 301's to the clients account. Why would you do this? Is it that you can build links indiscriminately to build a page up in PR to 3-4-5 PR, then pass that higher PR to your site (safe). Is that PR building method better than placing 100's of smaller PR links on your site? It seems logical that if you passed in a tremendous amount of juice to juice a site up to PR4, you won't make your main site PR4 by JUST that link. You would need to build a lot of PR4 sites to make your site PR4. Why not just put all the backlinks on the main page instead of building up secondary social profiles etc... Please reveal this secret. I know a lot of SEOs are using this method. Help 🙂

In light of penguin - what are your thoughts on widget based link-building?
Hi all, I thought it would be interesting to see if people's perceptions of widget based link building have changed. By that I mean - Do you think it's ok to give somebody a tool to use oon their website with a reference to the creator of that tool or will that count as 'manipulative or unnatural' link building? I'll start the discussion off by saying... I think this type of link building is ok and legitimate as you are merely referencing the creator of the tool whose widget you are using on your website. My only caveat would be to ensure that the anchor text is not manipulative but relevant. Looking forward to hearing what you all think about this as I'm sure many people maybe put off by doing this.
