Since this is a footer link it will likely not provide much value. I would not worry about it though as a lot of web design and development companies have tons of footer links from websites they built and they rank just fine.

So just to check I'm understanding this correctly:
A website with DA 34, and PA44 has linked to you. And because it's a footer link on a vb bulletin forum, you're ending up with 19,500 total links from that one website.
So...
It's not brilliant, as footer links, and masses of links from one domain, won't particularly help you. Generally you'll be advised to avoid actively going out and getting stuff like that, nofollow it, or even considering disavowing it.
However...
It really depends on your overall link profile, and what industry etc you're in. For example, if you've got a decent mix of quality domains linking to you with non-site wide links, then having one sitewide isn't the end of the world, and I wouldn't worry about it too much.
And having looked at a lot of niche industries, in many, you'll see the top results have plenty of site wide footer links (Look at local web design/marketing agencies for easy examples of this).
So I'd think about your niche and competitors, and then react accordingly. If you're worried about it, then you can always request the link is no-followed so you can still get the traffic benefit, but unless the only links you're getting are masses of site wide footer links, it should be fine as far as anyone can predict with Google these days!

Sitewide links from blogs we sponsor - A Bad Thing?
We sponsor a few blogs in our niche. As part of the sponsorship, they include an advert on the RHS or LHS of the blog page. Links are dofollow and are sitewide. Should I be concerned? Should I be asking for a nofollow instead, if possible? I've recently disavowed links and am waiting to see what happens with this - hopefully there's a Penguin update soon - but I wondered if the blog links were part of the problem.

Backlinks that redirect to your site
Hi all, I just wanted to ask you all about backlinks that redirect to your site. I recently used Link Detox Tools to carry out a link analysis. However, some of our backlinks are redirecting to our homepage. Is this ok? Why is this happening? Thanks guys!!!

Has anyone ever shared a list of all their backlink sources?
I am currently in the research stage of finding more sites that I will be able to do things such as submit infographics, guest post, or get easy backlinks that are legit. I feel out of options, as I have already built links with a lot of sites but feel like I need more. Has anyone ever seen someone actually sharing all of their hard work by providing a list of all the sites that worked for them? Or does there come a point when really your only option left is to guest post or be a HARO source? I have been doing those things all along--I'm not just looking for easy, lazy links! Is there anyone who's gotten a site up to a high PR score who's felt out of options, like they've already done all they know how to do? I'd like your opinions. I know it seems like an outrageous question to ask, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'd be willing to share sources too; I'm not just trying to mooch off people!
