Benefits of Several Backlinks from same Web 2.0?
-
If I get several backlinks from same web 2.0 (wordpress, tumblr or so on) will it be beneficial as 1 ? or each backlink will equal?
if you say, "will count as 1 cause from same domain" then why don't google give you credit for getting link from 96 DA site? (wordpress)
-
Yes, and I think the way that Web 2.0 sites (as defined by the way you are using the term, Jubaer), including those hosted on Wordpress.com and Tumblr, is a great example of why search engines treat subdomains as distinct domains.
Practically anyone can set up a site on Wordpress.com like abc.wordpress.com with minimal effort. That is, after all, the primary service Wordpress.com offers, after all. The sites that exist as subdomains of Wordpress.com have very little in common with each other, other than being hosted on Wordpress.com.
Wordpress.com has a DA of 96. There are some truly fantastic sites hosted as subdomains of Wordpress.com, and there are also a lot of really crappy ones, too. If search engines treated the value of a link from crappysite.wordpress.com as authoritatively as the value of a link from fantasticsite.wordpress.com simply because both are hosted on wordpress.com (which does, as you say, have a DA of 96), would that be best for users? Nope, it would not. Someone could have made crappysite.wordpress.com for the sole purpose of "earning" a link to their own (self-hosted) site, or created it with good intentions, but never put in the work needed to become a valuable site for its intended audience like fantasticsite.wordpress.com did.
And, let's not forget about the importance of relevance. The topics of sites on Wordpress.com are all over the place. Therefore, it makes sense to treat each one separately, right?

Hi Jubaer,
One way to look at it is each (worthwhile) link is an implied endorsement of your site. Viewed in this light, multiple links from the same site, assuming it is a respected domain, would be incredible valuable, but not simply for ranking.
Remember, trust is a huge factor that can and does impact your rank in SERPs: If people come to know and view your brand as authoritative and valuable on a topic, they're more likely to click on your URL, even if you're not in the top handful of results.
One small way to gain such trust is by creating content that is worthy of being linked to by respected domains. The more people see you being linked to and mentioned, the more top of mind awareness you're creating and the greater the likelihood that you'll start seeing that recognition at the SERP level.
I link to say that value of a link extends well beyond the link itself.

Hi Jubaer,
It's definitely true that there are "diminishing returns" when you get multiple links from the same domain, but remember that search engines treat subdomains are distinct domains.

Thanks for your answer. let me clear you,
I mean.. getting backlinks from xyz.wordpress.com, abc.wordpress.com, lmn.wordpress.com .
Will these backlinks count from same domain?
-
Hi Jubaer Ahmed,
For me it isnt really clear what you're asking. I'll answer what I've understannd of your question:
Every link you get is a link per se. Also if you get several links from different 2.0 platforms, every link you get will count.
If you are asking whether many links from the same 2.0 platform count every one as a links from different sites. It doesn't.BUT, you have to take into account that if those links are created in, for example, several wordpress sites with a lot of time online and much presence in SERPs those will count as one every one.
On the other hand, if you are creating new 2.0 sites to get those new links: When creating several sites on the same platform will make those links less relevant.
(Always considering that the links point to the same web page).Hope this is helpful.
Bye

Changing Business Address on Google Profile & Citations
Hello, I'm looking to change a business address to a new one on a Google business profile (still in the same area but on a different street). So, I'll need to update all citations and website with the new address - Is it recommended to update the citations & website first, and then change the address on the Google business profile, or vice-versa? Looking to do this as safely as possible without negatively impacting the rankings much. I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on this. Thanks in advance.

How to optimize landing pages for local search?
I'm trying to understand how to optimize landing pages to appear in local search. For example, if someone in Chicago searches for "plumber", Yelp has a page "Top 10 Plumbers in Chicago." They are generating these pages for numerous business types and cities. I can't see anything on the page or metadata that indicates a geographic location or business type. What optimizations are they doing to get Google to know that it's a page for a specific city and type of business?

Should I use LocalBusiness schema on my home page or Contact Us page?
I know I should only use Organization schema on one page of my site, but I'm not sure if I should use it on the Home page or use LocalBusiness schema on the home page.

I can't seem to find much information on what's best to use where.

International Versus Local Backlinks?
I'm running a dentist's website and I've been wondering if there is any additional benefit to achieving local backlinks from other medical sites versus larger international ones? For example, if I had a blog article that I wanted another site to link to, would you choose the local medical website within the same city or the international one that has more viewers?

Giving to Charities in exchange for a backlink is a Paid Link. What about links from real charitable donations?
What if my client already donates to charities? They've been donating for years before I thought to conduct linking outreach to their charities... can Google distinguish between honest charitable giving and charity link schemes? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-charity-links-a-paid-link-23094.html
