        i have tried adding our websites Mein3DDruckwerk.de and din3dprinter.dk on this page https://bit.ly/m/3dprint-online

        Will they count as backlinks then?

          bit.ly links are great for shortening URLs and tracking clicks, but using them for backlinking management might not be the most effective strategy. While they can be handy for sharing links in a concise manner, they aren't typically used for backlink management, which involves strategically building links to your website from other authoritative sites. For that, you might want to explore more comprehensive backlink management tools or strategies. What's the most memorable place you've ever visited, and why?

            @Tormar said in Bit.ly backlinks:

            what experience do you have with Bit.ly links? Can I use it for backlinking management?

            Bit.ly is primarily a URL shortening service that allows you to create shortened versions of long URLs, making them easier to share, manage, and track. While Bit.ly itself is not designed specifically for backlink management, you can use it in certain contexts related to link tracking and analytics.

            Here are some considerations:

            Link Shortening: Bit.ly is commonly used to create shortened versions of long URLs. This can be useful in situations where you have character limitations, such as in social media posts or messaging platforms.

            Link Tracking: Bit.ly provides analytics that allow you to track the performance of your shortened links. You can see how many clicks your link received, where those clicks came from, and other relevant data. This information can be helpful in assessing the effectiveness of your links.

            Custom Short URLs: Bit.ly allows you to create custom short URLs, which can be branded and more recognizable. This can be useful for maintaining a consistent brand presence even when sharing links.

            However, using Bit.ly for backlinking management in the traditional sense may not be the best approach. Backlinking is often associated with SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and search engines may not treat shortened URLs the same way they treat direct links. Some platforms may even consider shortened URLs as potential security risks.

            If you're looking for comprehensive backlink management, consider using dedicated SEO tools or platforms that provide features specifically designed for tracking and managing backlinks. Tools like Moz, Ahrefs, or SEMrush are more suitable for this purpose, as they offer in-depth analysis of backlink profiles, domain authority, and other SEO-related metrics.

            In summary, while Bit.ly can be useful for link shortening and tracking, it's not the ideal solution for backlink management in the context of SEO. For SEO purposes, consider using specialized tools that are designed to provide more detailed insights into your backlink strategy.

            My experience was an example
            If you want to shorten a link similar to this,
            https://bit.ly/trailer-best
            you must publish this link in other places so that Googlebot can pass through it.
            If I did not do that, meaning that I shortened the link on Bit.ly and did not publish it, then I would not have gotten anything

            I hope I answered your question

                @alidemir1 In Moz pro tools, it does show that bit.ly is a dofollow backlink. You can check our backlink profile here and see, they are indexing quiet fast with a quality link.

                  I came across this post and it has me questioning whether we should continue using bit.ly links for www.smartstartla.com and www.smartstartal.com blog articles since SEO is so important to us. I appreciate the post, I definitely have a lot to consider.

                    It's generally recommended to use direct backlinks whenever possible because have the potential to pass the full link authority. Wouldn't recommend using bitly links, to many possible issues.

                        @Tormar There are 301 links, which makes you think how effective seo is. We also bought it for our website addresses below, but we are looking forward to the result. Indexing has been very difficult lately.

                              Hi

                              You can utilize SEO services, however remember, they are 301 sidetracks, so you lose a touch of connection juice when web crawlers step through them.

                              On the off chance that you decided to do this, you'll likewise need to label the URLs before you shortlink them, generally your Google Examination revealing will show all that traffic as Immediate/(none) in the Channel report.

                                    @LoganRay said in Bit.ly backlinks:

                                    Hi,

                                    You can use bit.ly for backlinks, but keep in mind, they are 301 redirects, so you lose a bit of link juice when search engines step through them.

                                    If you chose to do this, you'll also want to tag the URLs before you shortlink them, otherwise your Google Analytics reporting will show all that traffic as Direct/(none) in the Channel report.

                                    Hi Tormar,
                                    but is it raelly matters what Google Analytics shows as a traffic? I have added another bit.ly/3Ej2BiH poining to https://www.directorysubmissionsite.com/ and should patiantly wait for indexing. To me looking for search appearance is the only important with regard to backlinks.

I even tweeted the link, but it didn't help. Indexing is tracked in ahrefs by this site: https://www.meddirekt24.com

                                                        Hi @Tormar,

                                                        I had used bit.ly for my B2B site but after some time. Bit.ly link discovers as a referenced page for my real page URL in the Google Search Console.

Post https://bit.ly/3K0JX0o in as many places as you can and in one week we will meet back and see what works best. We will compare it against the Solar Pool Installation Company Link https://www.myfloridasolar.com/pool-heating/solar-pool-heating/ as the control. Ok! Golink text

                                                              See that's a Solar Pool Pump. It's not a backlink for Brevard County SEO.

                                                              Hire someone like David from webduh if you're trying to get backlinks.

                                                                                        I had built bitly links for my page German shepherd names. I am waiting from last 3-4 months it is not showing anywhere.  I was searching on google to resolve this issue but I found this post. I am surprised after reading this that bots are not wrong because people guided me that bitly links are very strong and bots crawl it.

                                                                                        | german shepherd names |

                                                                                              You can use bit.ly for backlinks, but keep in mind, they are 301 redirects, so you lose a bit of link juice when search engines step through them.

                                                                                              If you chose to do this, you'll also want to tag the URLs before you shortlink them, otherwise your Google Analytics reporting will show all that traffic as Direct/(none) in the Channel report.

My Site's Post's Image got 4 to 5k backlinks from unknown sites and also their is no contact details on their site so that i can contact them to remove. So, I have an idea for which i want suggestion " If I change the url that receieves backlinks" does this will remove backlinks? For Example: https://example.com/test/ got 5k backlinks if I change this url to https://examplee.com/test-failed/ does this will remove those 5k backlinks? If not then How Can I remove those Backlinks? I Know about disavow but this takes time.

                                                                                                Hi, We have gone through a change of company brand name including a new domain name.
                                                                                                We followed google recommendations at: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en and it seems to have worked really well, the new domain has replaced the old in the google search results. My question: Still most of our backlinks, both anchor text and links use the old brand name and domain and it´s a slow process trying to update all references. Although they get redirected fine to the new domain (also following google recommendations), I wonder if the current scenario is doing any harm, SEO wise (other than the missed visual exposure of the new brand name) ? ...since the old brand name is not present at the new site I´m thinking of including "New brand name - previously old brand name" somewhere just to provide some sort of connection to all old backlinks, would that be unnecessary? I should mention that the old brand name actually includes our most important keyword but the new brand name does not. Thanks!

                                                                                                Hi, I'm looking for an example/use case of someone whose site has been linked to from another using a Bitly, or other generic URL shortener link. I'm specifically interested in proving/disproving the value of the backlink in terms of boost in SEO rankings. Ideally you somehow got a juicy backlink from a reputable site, but they accidentally linked to you using a Bitly or something, yet you saw a noticeable increase in your pages search rankings, thus proving the value of a Bitly link still passing all SEO value. Or alternatively, you got that juicy backlink and noticed nothing at all, or not much, and are frustrated that they used a BItly. I'm launching a study on this soon to identify the possible value behind short links as backlinks. Yes, I know that Matt Cutts says all short links are 301 redirects which passes something like 99.9% of link juice. I'd just like to see some use cases on this. Thanks!

                                                                                                I've been in the process of creating a tourism-based website for the state of Kansas. I'm a photographer for the state, and have inked a nice little side income to my day job as a web designer by selling prints from Kansas (along with my travels elsewhere). I'm still in the process of developing it, but it's at least at a point that I need to really start thinking about SEO factor of the amount of backlinks I have from it going back to my main photography website. The Kansas site is at http://www.kansasisbeautiful.com and my photography website is http://www.mickeyshannon.com. This tourism website will serve a number of purposes: To promote the state and show people it's not just a flat, boring place. To help promote my photography. The entire site is powered by my photography. To sell a book I'm planning to publish later this year/early next year of Kansas images. To help increase sales of photography prints of my work. What I'm worried about is the amount of backlinks I have going from the Kansas site to my photography site. Not to mention every image is hosted on my photography domain (no need to upload to two domains when one can serve the same purpose). I'm currently linking back to my site on most pages via a little "Like the Photos? Buy a print" link in the top right corner. In addition, when users get to the website map, all photo listings click back to a page on my photography site that they can purchase prints. And the main navigation also has a link for "Photos" that takes them to my Kansas photo galleries on my photography website as well. The question I have: Is it really bad SEO-wise to have anywhere from 1 to 10+ backlinks on every page from one domain (kansasisbeautiful.com) linking back to mickeyshannon.com? Would I be better served moving all of the content from kansasisbeautiful into a subdirectory on my photography site (mickeyshannon.com/kansas/) and redirecting the entire domain there? I haven't actually launched this website yet, so I'm trying to make the right call before pushing it to the public. Any advice would be appreciated!

                                                                                                Hey Moz, I am working with a client on more advanced SEO tactics. This client has a reputable domain authority of 67 and 50,000+ backlinks. We're wanting to continue SEO efforts and stay on top of any bad backlinks that may arise. Would it be worth asking websites (below 20 domain authority) to remove our links? Then, use the disavow tool if they do not respond. Is this a common SEO practice for continued advanced efforts? Also, what would your domain authority benchmark be? I used 20 just as an example. Thanks so much for your help. Cole

                                                                                                Hi All, I'm new to evaluating backlinks, but I just saw I got over 50,000 links from a backlink that was added on ONE page at this site here: http://www.netnewspublisherDOTcom. I presume this is not a good thing, and if I contact them to remove the one link on the one page, it won't solve the other 49,999 links that Google is seeing pointing to us, so what do I do??. Should I contact them and ask to remove it and see if they don't and then disavow?  Or would you just tell Google to disavow the whole site? Thanks!

                                                                                                A site has a link to my site as one of their main tabs, which means whenever a user clicks through to another page within the site, my link - being a main tab - is there. This creates thousands of links from this site. How does Google treat this? Do we have a rough formula estimate. In other words, assume it creates 1,000 backlinks would the SEO value be around the same as if I had just 2 link total as a main tab, but on 2 different non-related sites? Or, does it actually count fully as 1,000 links? Links from various sub-domains. Several .EDU's are linking to my site. Different schools within the overall same university. Example: nursing.abc.edu links to my site, but so does business.abc.edu. For SEO does that count as much as if I had links from complete non-related universities, or would Google evaluate that these links are related (since same main domain) and that will discount any links more than 1 to some extent? If discounted, then what do we estimate the discount to be? thank yoyu
