Link building

i want to ask a question. i am sure this is kind black hat seo.
look at this web site http://www.199999dollars.com/
if we also create website like this and put a banner as domain for sale and in the footer put back links to our domain ?
thanks

Of course the OSE domain authority isn't going to be truly representative for a domain like this. I don't think search engines would treat it so generously (it's only got a toolbar pagerank of 1)
-
Exactly, I agree with you, is a shame that this goes on, probably always will !
Those figures from OSE will be correct at face value, however won't take into account any search engine penalty that could be applied and indeed, should & likely will be applied at some point. Unethical spammy practices such as this can have high scores such as you've identified here, doesn't mean what has gone on is sustainable though.
Which leads on to your question; Yes, what they've done (based on your findings) is the creation of a link farm, with many of their own domains with poor quality websites/landing pages all linking to one another. It's a great example of what not to do for anybody with any ethical search ethics.
So don't worry about it, just concentrate on creating your own valuable site that adds some value to your visitors' experience.

actually these kind of domains dont have any value and no one want them too..

even i feel the same.
that is so sad that these companies are doing this kind of things to gain popularity.. they are buying more and more domains and just linking to their own root domain.
but when i see opensiteexplorer for this site www.acuista.com/... these are the results
| Page Authority | Domain Authority | Linking Root Domains | Total Links | Facebook Shares | Facebook Likes | Tweets | Google +1 |
| 64/100 | 57/100 | 773 | 35,637 | 68 | 11 | 22 6 | |most of their links coming from this domain http://www.comprarportatiles.com/ which is their own website and when ever the user adds a product to the cart and proceed to check out it will be redirected and add the same product to the cart of acuista.com
the second method above mentioned also treated as spam ?
thanks

Keep in mind how people stumbling upon sites like this may perceive you site/brand.
For people trying to find a domain for their business these kind of operations are rather annoying and can feel like exploitation!

Hi Ravi
As you mention SEO in your question, I am relating my answer to SEO.
Your suspicions are justified, as in there being no SEO value in doing anything like this. It adds absolutely no value to any User's Experience, no SEO value, I personally and professionally regard it as a pointless unethical practice.
If somebody has a domain for sale, then fair enough in putting a sales banner on the homepage, however doing so with the hope of gaining any SEO benefit and including all those links to other spammy domains is a game that can only be lost.
So I'd recommend to Not follow suit and to help keep the Web a better place by avoiding doing the same if SEO benefits are the main goal.
Regards,
Simon

Uk link building
Hello mozzers, I have a UK website that I have slowly been building high quality links to from highly trusted websites, traffic is slowly but steadily rising. So far all the links i've built are on UK websites. I've discovered there are many opportunities to get links from loosely related US websites. Would links from highly trusted US domains help my UK rankings? Would they help, but not as much as UK links? I'd be very grateful to hear anyones thoughts on this. Thank you so much!

Setting up a separate site for link building
We are jump starting a link building campaign for a personal injury law firm. We're planning on doing things right with earning links to content people will actually want to share, sponsoring local events, etc. We're a little worried that some good opportunities could be missed due to the fact some people have assumptions about personal injury lawyers and would be hesitant to link to us simply because of our injury, regardless of what we're trying to share/promote. One solution we're considering is creating a foundation associated with the firm that supports relevant causes and provides the public with educational resources. That might get over our branding hurdle a bit. We've also discussed setting up a separate site for the foundation and actually building links to it rather than our main site, then linking the foundation site to our main site. The hope would be that we could get more links to the foundation site and it would in turn pass on link juice to our main site. My concern is whether this strategy makes any sense. We'd be putting good content on this foundation site rather than our main site. How much link juice would actually be passed on to our main site in this case? Would so much be lost that it would negate the whole purpose?

Link Building
I'm having difficulty creating a solid link base. I would prefer to only have links that are on relevant sites that are likely to drive traffic rather then just adding my company page to site directories. I've checked out the whiteboard Friday edition of link building and have also used the new Moz analytics that helps recommend sites to link to, but all the recommendations were directories. So, could anyone hold my hand and guide me through the world of Link building? Your help, as always, is much appreciated. Thanks everyone Dave

Anyone have experience with AdTaxi for link building services?
Recently a client of ours received a proposal from a local newspaper for search related services, including link building. I believe the name of the company the paper is working with for some of these services is AdTaxi, which i had not heard of before. Anyone have experience with these guys from a link building standpoint? I know that here we are more "do it yourselfers" and for the most part, we handle all of the on-page and technical SEO for our client's sites, but link building as a dedicated service isn't something we have the resources to offer so I'm just looking to do some research. Thank you! -William

I am previewing this software and am getting a little lost in its features. I am really looking for something that will help me identify link prospects, filter out the low-authority domains, and organize this information into an actionable list. Can anyone point me to resources (tutorials, etc.) on how to do that with this software? Which tools should I be using and how can I use them to reach these goals?
