Would you suggest submitting a website to a travel platform which gets backlinks from link farms?
-
The website of the travel platform is well designed and looks serious - without any adsense or suspicious links on it. So does the email newsletter of them.
But I checked the domain in OSE and saw not less links which came from more or less linkfarms with very often the same anchor text.
Would you suggest your customer to submit on the platform?
-
Considering you can't get penalised by a backlink form a spammy site ("negative" SEO), I would submit the site to the travel platform if it does no cost much time/money.
Reading your response to Gianluca, it looks like the backlinks are not so spammy so you should do it without fears.
-
I would do more DD and see if those links coming in are going to weigh the site down as noted already by Gianluca. If the linked site has strong trust, and those sites linking to it have some trust, then I would consider getting that link and perhaps informing the travel site with your findings.
-
mmm... well.
Even though I would stay on alert in order to see if the link profile of that portal is going to affect the ranking of the portal itself, therefore the link to your client site, if its competitors are there also your Client site should be there.
But that link would have been just one of a rich link profile, so that something bad can come from it, it won't affect the general health of your client site.

Yes I did.
mT: 5.75
DmT: 3.88
Of the link sources to the directory - sometime bad mT, sometimes not so bad.On that platform there are several huge brands / hotels in there, too.

Question: did you checked the MozTrust metric of that site? And the MozTrust of those supposed link farms?
Because that should be the main metric I would look at.
If I link a to site that links to poor trusted feed, I risk to see reduced my trustrank metric; so I would prefer to no submit my site to it, as I believe the trust metrics of sites are going to play an even bigger role in rankings.

Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

Should harmful links to your own website be removed?
Upon running a link report on a website, there are often multiple links flagged as bad or suspect that come from a blog that is integrated into the website, which means there are links (set up as article tags) in the site that go to other pages in the same site. They have likely been flagged due to their high frequency. A similar problem is occurring where blogs from a connected site (from an offshoot site of a company that is part of the original) are also tagging their blog posts to link into the original website. Should these links be disavowed? Will these links have an effect on the website if they are disavowed or not?
