Confused About Potential Spammy Inbound Link
-
I unsure how my page got backlinked on this "passive DNS" website: http://pdns.daloo.de/search.php?alike=0&q=66.96.162.137
This looks to be my only inbound link, so I am worried this is negatively affecting my site ranking. Is this 56% spam score link negatively affecting my website? If so, any suggestions?
Any feedback or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am very ignorant to what this person's webpage is about and why my page was linked..
Sincerely,
Hayden

Sometimes when a business gets a domain name, yet it can comes attached with a lot of spam links sometimes.
This could be because of previous businesses who owned it, may have built spam links to it, so you need to check this, because this can happen when some businesses buy a domain name. As your web designers, before you buy the domain, whether there's spam links leading to it?

If you have spam backlinks coming to your website, it can negatively affect the business's organic SEO.
In matter of fact, the business could receive a "Google penalty"
Our demolition website had this problem, it had a lot of spam links, and the organic SEO was damaged.

@CashFlo_Trading let me know the solution. I have the same problem.
Thank you -
This happens to my site as well. There were nearly 2k spammy links that were created automatically and still not get resolved.

Will editorial links with UTM parameters marked as utm_source=affiliate still pass link juice?
Occasionally some of our clients receive editorial mentions and links in which the author adds utm parameters to the outbound links on their blog. The links are always natural, never compensated, and followed. However, they are sometimes listed as utm_source=affiliate even thought we have no existing affiliate relationship with the author. My practice has been to ask the author to add a rel="norewrite" attribute to the link to remove any trace of the word affiliate. I have read that utm parameters do not affect link juice transfer, however, given the inaccurate "affiliate" source, I wouldn't want Google to misunderstand and think that we are compensating people for followed editorial links. Should I continue following this practice, or is it fine to leave these links as they are? Thanks!

SERP position confusion
Hi, I am trying to rank on page one on Google UK for the term 'wireless alarms'. the page i have optimised for this terms is www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/security-equipment and i have just completely revamped the text, tags and titles on this in the last 48 hours. It is not showing up in the top 50 yet, but this page http://www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/security-information/gsm-gprs-alarm-systems is showing up in position 47 for some reason. I know i will not get to the top 5 or 6, as these are held by Amazon, Screwfix, Ebay etc., however, i have found something i don't understand. There is one result in position 4 called www.wireless-alarms.net. But his DA is 9 and PA is 24 and links to his site is 3. Our stats are DA 47 and PA 39 and we have 15,000 links. Question. How is his SERP position so high? Also, although i have submited my page (www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/security-equipment) to Google Index, it is not showing the correct page yet. I guess this indexing can take a few days? Any suggestions how i can achieve a better position with the correct page being displayed? I am new to this and on a fast learning curve and want to learn as much as possible. Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but you guys are excellent. Thank you Si

LinkSmart Raises $4.7M to Dynamically Change Links
LinkSmart is a startup trying to put a new spin on link management by providing a platform to dynamically change links. They just raised $4.7M, and TechCrunch posted a quick blurb on them here that is worth reading. In short, the application will allow a site owner to change all of the text links on their site in real-time. The idea is that this will help improve click-through rates, optimize traffic, etc. How do you guys see this from an SEO perspective? It seems a bit scary from an indexing standpoint if links are never consistent. Also, the flow of link juice will be inconsistent. Any thoughts?

How to go about removing bad/irrelevent links?
We have been made aware of a series of irrelevant links on some rather dodgy sites. http://www.designerdogstop.com/level-static/http://www.bestfirepits.net/some-of-the-best-vacations-for-families/2010/05/05/ http://whatcigarsdoismoke.com/cigar-lighters/cigarette-cigar-2/ http://dollfuss.org/build-bear-hawaii/ Absolute rubbish im sure you will agree. These links must surely be causing our link profile some damage. They are currently wordpress sites with no means of contacting the authors. What ways and means are there of removing these negative pages and links? Cheers all, any help appreciated.

"Links To Your Site" In Webmaster Tools
How often does Google update the "links to your site" data. It seems that it has been static for about a month now even though we have made a lot of changes Does anyone have any idea? If you have made changes to your links (i.e removed links, updated anchor text, etc.), do you have to wait for this information to be updated to measure the impact? Or is that whenever Google crawls those pages/sites and sees changes there is a adjustment. Thanks

Is a canonical to itself a link juice leak
Duane Forrester from Bing said that you should not have a canonical pointing back to the same page as it confuses Bingbot,
Industry News | | AlanMosley
“A lot of websites have rel=canonicals in place as placeholders within their page code. Its best to leave them blank rather than point them at themselves. Pointing a rel=canonical at the page it is installed in essentially tells us “this page is a copy of itself. Please pass any value from itself to itself.” No need for that.” He also stated that a canonical is much like a 301 except that it does not physically move the user to the canonical page. This leads me to think that having such a tag may leak link juice. “Please pass any value from itself to itself”
Google has stated that GoogleBot can handle such a tag, but this still does not mean that it is not leaking link juice.0 -
