Unsolved Google results linking domains
-
When I check the linking domains of a root domain, a lot of Google results from other countries appear. Does this mean all of these domains are linking to my root domain? Can anybody explain this and tell me if this can be seen as spam or not?

Google results linking domains refer to the number of unique domains that link to a specific webpage that appears in the search engine results pages (SERPs) of Google. In other words, if multiple websites link to a particular page, it can indicate that the content on that page is high-quality and relevant to the topic.
Google considers the quality and quantity of backlinks to a webpage as a ranking factor in its algorithm. Therefore, pages with a higher number of linking domains may have a better chance of ranking higher in search results for relevant queries. However, it's important to note that not all links are created equal, and Google also takes into account other factors such as the relevance and authority of the linking domains.
To check the number of linking domains for a webpage, you can use various SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Moz, Majestic, or SEMrush. These tools can provide you with a detailed analysis of a website's backlink profile, including the number of linking domains, the authority of those domains, and other metrics that can help you evaluate the quality of a website's backlinks.

When you check the linking domains of a root domain, you may see Google results from other countries because search results can vary depending on your location and search settings. This does not necessarily mean that all of these domains are linking to your root domain.
To determine if a link from a foreign website is considered spam or not, you should evaluate the quality and relevance of the linking website. If the website is a reputable source in its respective country or language, and the link is relevant to your content, then it can be considered a legitimate link. On the other hand, if the linking website has low-quality content or appears to be part of a network of spammy websites, then the link may be considered spam.
It's important to note that the quantity of links is not the only factor that search engines consider when evaluating the quality and relevance of a website. The quality and relevance of the linking website, the anchor text used for the link, and the context of the link all play a role in determining the value of a link.
In summary, the appearance of search results from other countries when checking the linking domains of a root domain is not necessarily an indication of spammy links. To evaluate the quality of a link, you should consider the relevance and reputation of the linking website.

Is it allowed to buy an old website with external links en redirect it to your own site??
Hello, We noticed at MOZ that one of our competitor's websites has increased the number of external backlinks from 5k to 25k within a month. Upon investigating the links, we found that the competitor had acquired an old, unknown website with completely different content and external links in that month. The competitor then redirected that purchased website to their own website, instantly gaining 20k external links. This seems to be against Google's guidelines as it is an extremely unnatural way of link building and should be penalized by search engines. However, the website's Domain Authority (DA) has increased by 10 points in that month, and its rankings have greatly improved on Google. So it appears that acquiring an old website with many external links unrelated to your own website is highly profitable. We try to obtain links honestly, but we cannot reach 25k links naturally. Is there any way to report these practices to Google? Does anyone know how to do this?

Unsolved Spam Score Blank - Looking For Feasible Solution
Hi,
Link Explorer | | Jane090987
There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
Thanks for answering in advance!0 -

Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?
Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura

Discrepancy between OSE internal links and Webmaster Tools
Hi, We have been attempting to increase our rankings for our key term for a number of months now, and we are seeing an unusual discrepancy between OSE and Webmaster Tools that we believe may be causing us harm. OSE shows our homepage, www.unionroom.com, as having only 27 internal links (only three of these aren't 301's too), whereas Webmaster Tools is showing just over 1,500 internal links to the homepage. The three pages that OSE are displaying as linking back to the homepage are the homepage, our blog and our accessibility page. These pages are all ran off the same template and have the same header and footer (with three home links spread across header and footer). You can see our confusion! Is this a case of OSE's stats being incorrect (the website has been live for ~6 months) or is there an issue with our in-linking structure that we are missing? Thanks!

How to check what websites your website is linking to
We recently transitioned away from a third party website using a different domain. A lot of our blog posts still link to this domain. Is there a tool offered by Moz that crawls your website and provides a report of all websites that your website is linking to?
