'spammy' domains redirecting to website

[hydra_creative]

Hi Everyone,

I hope that someone will be able to help us with this one as we have trawled the internet looking for a solution! We have multiple domains (.com/.co.uk/.net versions) which all point to the one website, however, some of these domains have a high spam score - 9-11. Our first initial reaction would be to remove the auto redirects, but, the other domains have been a source of conversion in previous months (or so analytics tells us).

So what I'm wondering, is do we remove the 'spammy' links from redirecting to our site, or do we leave them there? We certainly don't want to risk a penalty.

Thanks for reading!

IF they are sending considerable traffic that leads to conversions then there is a case for keeping them. I would however, also look into why your other domains are considered Spammy and try to rectify this also, that way you can still benefit from greater volumes of traffic, improve all your sites and hopefully grow stronger all around.

Hi Ryan,

One thing to be careful of - even though a page is no-indexed, Google still reads it and if there were a penalty (or fear of a penalty) there, this can still go towards it.

Happy to take a peek if you want to drop me a PM?
