Inbound link with low DA
-
There is a site linking to me from ukraine (don't know the site) ... and they have a low DA of **52. **
**Is this something I need to be thinking of removing? Thanks:) **
**( I have a low DA myself, but rank well for my keywords) **

Thank you all for your answer's. I agree, 52 is not low. I'll be leaving the link as is.

I'll echo EGOL's response, just because a link is coming from a specific place doesn't make it inherently bad. Relevance and context is certainly more in line with what you want to look for when judging value of a link.
Hope that helps!

I have to agree, MissThumann, that 52 is not a very low DA. Have you checked the Spam Score for that link?
-
There are lots of good sites in Ukraine. I'd make my decision about the quality of the site rather than where it appears to be located.
There are probably more spammy sites out of New Jersey than out of Ukraine.

Thanks for the question.
First, a "low DA" site score is usually not a 52. Moz Domain Authority is calculated "logarithmically" which means that it is MUCH easier to move from a 30-40 DA than it is to move to 50-60 as an example. Further, the "average" DA of a site online is much, much lower than 52. Can you tell me where or why you would think a 52 would be a low score?
As for your question, if you don't like a link then you can just "disavow" that link. Here's a link to the Google Disavow Tool. Just pop the domain into a .txt file, submit it to this tool and you're all set. If you aren't familiar with how to format a disavow file make sure to review the Moz Start to Finish Guide to Using the Disavow Tool for full information.
Hope that's helpful. Good luck!

Hi Mozzers, I work for an IT company specialising in outsourcing Cisco Engineers worldwide. Due to being involved heavily in outsourcing, I'm finding it impossible to generate genuine and organic links to our website. My question is that is it essential to have back links back to our website to achieve high search engine rankings? I'm unable to get clients and other partners to provide links as we're the outsourced company,but I can get backlinks from unrelated c ompanies. For example we're running a CSR initiative with a National Gym relating to health & fitness, also links from our web designers etc... Do these links have any type of value? Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Jason 🙂

Over 47.000 inbound links from one site - can it hurt my rankings?
Im currently having some banner commercials on a relatively large Danish forum. I talked the forum owner into maing the banner "dofollow" so i could get the "juice" from the site, however im in doubt if this is good or bad for my SEO. Webmaster tools is telling me that i now have over 47.000 links from this forum. it seems like a Lot of links considering that i only have external links from about 5 other sites and the fact that my site is quite new. It seems like my site is not ranked very good yet(as mentioned in another question). I hope someone has some input 🙂 Best reguards

Beaten to death but still have to ask, low comp area spammy directory links
I have a client that wants to rank for low comp local keywords (i.e. service + suburban area). Would several well written blog posts on relevant blogs be more effective than 100's of low level spammy directory links? I just want to give him an initial base of a few links, aside from submitting to the local search engines such as those in whitespark citation finder..... please keep in mind this would be a low competition area where on-page would probably rank in the middle of the 2nd page.

Inbound Links from Web Pages Based in Other Countries
I have noticed that some of my competitors have in-bound links to their sites from high PageRanked websites. But when I investigate the websites, they are based overseas, to be mainly used for linking. Does it hurt them that the sites are based overseas despite the high Page Rank?
