Spam link? Links from linguee
-
Hi Everyone
My site received a notification of unnatural links in Webmaster Tools and the site has had a penalty applied.
I can see there are a lot of links from a site : linguee.com .de. nl. ect ..more than 30k of them!
I am not sure where did those links come from! The suddenly appeared over the weekend.
Does anyone has similar experience before and any suggestion?
Thanks
Ricky

In the search console I have 900 links from different linguee domains and I not sure if I have to take actions.
After reading this post and the previous one I'm not sure what to do.
Does anyone has any experience to share about linguee links?

Someone also asked about this a year ago at http://moz.com/community/q/spam-link-links-from-linguee, if you want a few more opinions, or want to contact anyone to see how it ended up for them.

Hiya
Thanks for your response!
I have searched around, there are cases that suggests that Google is aware the site model of Linguee and as long as it is high quality site, it wont see as unnatural. However, looking at the links profiles, only the links from Linguee looks "Unnatural" due to its huge links numbers.
..that is quite an annoying way to start a Monday morning.. @-@

I read about that a few mont ago in a german SEO Blog.
Linguee indexes your content (if you have several languages) and shows an translation example based on your content. They link to you several times. A linguee result looks like that:
http://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/uebersetzung/exzenterschnecke.html
If you have a lot of content in more than one language, you can get a lot of links from linguee. Maybe you can disallow linguee bot to index your pages. I thought google knows that problem, and don't see these links as unnatural

Internal linking disaster
Can someone help me understand what my devs have done? The site has thousands of pages but if there's an internal homepage link on all of the pages (click on the logo) shouldn't that count for internal links? Could it be because they are nonfollow? http://goo.gl/0pK5kn I've attached my competitors opensiteexplorer rankings (I'm the 2nd column) .. so despite the face the site is new you can see where I'm getting my ass kicked. Thanks! psRsQtH.png

Link Volume - calculate what you need?
Hi everyone, an interesting question here. How do you determien what link volume you should try and get into your website? What analysis do you do to determine the number of links you feel is right to go into a back-link profiel every month? obviously there is no magic number but its an interesting question to know what others do. Obviously you don't want to build too many or too little. If you have been penalised for bad links in the past and are now back on track - how do you calculate the volume? Do you take links dropping out into consideration?

IFRAME WIDGET - FOLLOWED LINKS
<iframe style="border: 2px #CCCCCC solid;" src="http://www.cpsc.gov/cgi-bin/javascripts/cpscrss.aspx" title="CPSC RSS Feed" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="224" height="258"></iframe> That is the code my client wants to add to an internal page where we can keep updated news on a specific subject. Only problem is this widget has links within it, these links are "followed". Should i worry about these links being followed? There are quite a few, does anyone know if they will be counted if within an iframe or is there a way to add "no-follow" attribute to them. Can i somehow tell the HTACCESS to add no follows to all links on specific pages? Any thoughts, solutions are greatly appreciated.
