Well let's take a look at metrics for this page and also metrics for this domain as a whole.
Here's the linking page: http://www.adamfrisby.com/create-home-design-and-interior-decor-in-2d-3d.html
Moz Metrics:
- Page Authority: 16
- Domain Authority: 24
- No backlinks or linking domains detected, pointing to this individual web-page
- 5,600+ links pointing to the domain overall, from 100 domains
Ahrefs Metrics:
- URL Rating: 7
- Domain Rating: 24
- No backlinks or linking domains detected, pointing to this individual web-page
- 7,690+ links pointing to the domain overall, from 84 domains
Majestic SEO Metrics (Fresh Index):
- Page-level Citation Flow: 10
- Page-Level Trust Flow: 0
- No backlinks or linking domains detected, pointing to this individual web-page
- Domain-level Citation Flow: 20
- Domain-level Trust Flow: 9
Ahrefs estimate of daily traffic this site gets from SEO: less than 1 user per day (0.074 users per day on average)
SEMRush estimate of daily traffic this site gets from SEO: 0 user per day
At best these metrics are mediocre, at worst the link could be toxic. How can they have thousands of backlinks from only hundreds of domains, and also be seeing no traffic from SEO combined with low trust scores from Majestic?!
It seems like one of those cookie-cutter sites produced to sell links to people, not like a viable link source in 2018. By the way, for me - that page took **years **to load! About 20 seconds. It would obviously score terribly in Pingdom Tools / Google Page-Speed Insights / GTMetrix (three solid page-speed evaluation tools). When people build link-farms to sell crap links to people who don't know SEO very well, they seldom care about users. Seldom spend time optimising the site for those who really matter
Design-wise the site looks like pure spam to me. It looks like it has been built just to supply SEO links, like the site and contained links wouldn't exist if it weren't for SEO being an active industry. That's strictly against Google's guidelines! 'Links for the sake of it' are frowned upon, this link looks like it came from the early 2000s and won't do a damn thing for your current SEO (except maybe earn you a penalty).
Relevance isn't just semantic wordplay, you get me? You have to be thinking "why would it be relevant for a user to click on and follow this link". That's real link relevance. Just because Site A and Site B are thematically related - that does not make the link relevant (whether it be image, text or whatever). By the way, image links barely ever carry any SEO juice.
Google don't want to count links of a paid-for or 'advertorial' nature. Links which carry SEO authority should also carry traffic. They should be editorial in nature, and benefit the users that click on those links. This link fails all of those completely.
If a page which has barely any or no SEO authority links to hundreds of pages, each of them get barely anything back.
It only takes 2-3 consecutive visits to this site to force a 503, server busy. This means that whoever built the site, sure as hell wasn't planning for anyone to ever, ever look at it.
Does Google even care it exists?
Look at Google's cache for the specified linking page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adamfrisby.com%2Fcreate-home-design-and-interior-decor-in-2d-3d.html
Google doesn't even keep a cached copy. Google has technically indexed the page, for what purpose I cannot say. Probably just to keep an eye on it, because it's shady AF.
Overall I give this link an F-

Please have a look at my website. I am stuck here.
Here might be the reason. I had loads of unnecessary content so I given them the noindex tag. I tried to change the robot.txt file but that shouldn't be a problem in SEO. First my site had a country specific domain and then a year later I changed it to .Com, as to target globally (Mainly US). My site is ranking well in that specific country (never been close to page 1) on page 3 almost every time. It's not ranking in other countries, despite the fact that I've not targeted it to any specific country since the domain was changed. A month ago, I deleted 404 pages and all the thin content which was indexed in the SERP and also deleted the duplicated contents and as well as the copied contents. Meanwhile I've also tried changing the headings in some of the products articles as they were causing the duplicate heading issue. I've recently switched my hosting from the UK based server to the Us based server because the last hosting has bad downtime. So far until now nothing seems to be working in my favor. I'm just tired of resolving issues and in return finding a zero result. This is my devil site: 10stuffs.com plz check it out and tell me why my site is not ranking at all and what sould I do.

Is it good or bad to add noindex for empty pages, which will get content dynamically after some days
We have followers, following, friends, etc pages for each user who creates account on our website. so when new user sign up, he may have 0 followers, 0 following and 0 friends, but over period of time he can get those lists go up. we have different pages for followers, following and friends which are allowed for google to index. When user don't have any followers/following/friends, those pages looks empty and we get issue of duplicate content and description too short. so is it better that we add noindex for those pages temporarily and remove noindex tag when there are at least 2 or more people on those pages. What are side effects of adding noindex when there is no data on those page or benefits of it?

My Link Building Strategy Good or Bad?
Okay I am new to SEO and I have read a few SEO beginner guides and have been practicing SEO over time now. I am trying to do SEO for a new clients site that is a completely new site with no MR and MT and here is my current link building strategy. Can you please review my link building plan and help me out with suggestions and corrections 1. Directory Submissions- From what I understand since the new google penguin updates this isn't as effective of a method but I am trying get high PR directory list, but a lot of them require paid standard submission reviews, otherwise it takes 2-3 months 2. Local Directory Submissions- Such as yelp, angee's list, whitepages, and other local directories. 3. Social Bookmarking- submit links to social bookmarking sites with target keyword(s) as anchor 4. Article Writing & Submission: create articles and submit to high pr article directories with different article titles and also wanted to see different submissions I can make with each article 5. Press Releases- submit to high pagerank press release directories, also wanted to see how many submissions is generally the rule of thumb for press releases. 6. Blog Outreach for Product Reviews: Submit products to blogs with PR 2+ to get review and backlinks 7. Forum Profile Creation- create forum profiles and engage in topics with signature with a link, I understand that since the penguin update this isn't something I should emphasis on 8. Blog Commenting- comment on relevant blogs that have dofollow links and nofollow links for link diversity 9. Guest Blogging- Write unique content and outreach to related blogs for guest posting opportunities 10. .edu & .gov links- How do I gain .edu & .gov links I have read several articles and I am having a hard time understanding this concept, would commenting on .edu & .gov blogs and profiles be an effective method or the correct method for gaining these types of links?
