If My site has 20 DA will it be good to get backlinks from a very low DA 3 site for free
-
is there any side effects to get backlinks from a site which has low DA than you?

Hi,
Thanks for your response. "Ensure the sites aren't low quality or being spammed with low-quality links". How can I ensure this?
does Moz spam score will help? if yes then what % of spam score is ok

In my opinion you shouldn‘t ’chase’ a backlink with the only aim to improve your DA. Which after all is an estimation and always needs to be taken into context with other metrics.
You should go after backlinks that are on relevant websites that will also bring your site:
-
Potential referral traffic
-
Potential brand awareness
I hope that helps!

In my experience low DA links do not hurt as long as the bulk of your links are not coming from them. There may be some really great sites that are newer and have not built up DA but I'd still like them to link to us. As long as they're not spammy garbage you should be good.

As a rule of thumb yes but......
one or two low DA links to your domain won't hurt but a lot of low DA backlinks sends a signal that you are trying to game the system and your serp will suffer as a result.
Moz found during one of its studies that a backlink from a high domain authority page on a low domain authority website provides more value than a backlink from the opposite.
If you are building backlinks it is best to aim for higher DA sites as they will help more than hurt.
I hope that helps

Hi!
Ultimately, Google doesn't care what the site's DA is. DA is also easily manipulated. Before you start obtaining links from these sites, it's important to do your due diligence. Ensure the site's aren't low quality or being spammed with low quality links (which could bring up DA while still hurting a site in Google’s eyes).
Realistically, the best links to obtain are going to be from quality sites with high relevancy. Quality sites are sites that have a healthy backlink profile and history.
Keep in mind, create link only with relevant site in a professional manner. Never do spamming.

Could someone be sabataging my site by bad backlinks?
Hello, As I have said before I am new to SEO and especially new to this type of software. I am trialing MOZ, ahrefs and MajesticSEO. I just used the Site Explorer on ahrefs and it showed me that a bunch of backlinks was created today but I haven't engaged anyone in "SEO" for many months. Why would this be? See the image for a screenshot. yhpUxFv.png

What are some good easy links to get for new sites?
We are in the process of launching a couple of new sites and while we know it will be a long process to get them to rank, achieving some long-tail keywords would be beneficial. What sites would you recommend for getting some easy links to start with that can help the indexation and ranking process along in the preliminary stages? Or another way to put the question - when you launch a new site, what steps do you go through?
