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

Updating inbound links vs. 301 redirecting the page they link to
Hi everyone, I'm preparing myself for a website redesign and finding conflicting information about inbound links and 301 redirects. If I have a URL (we'll say website.com/website) that is linked to by outside sources, should I get those outside sources to update their links when I change the URL to website.com/webpage? Or is it just as effective from a link juice perspective to simply 301 redirect the old page to the new page? Are there any other implications to this choice that I may want to consider? Thanks!
