Thanks John,
I don't think it will hurt us but it just seems greyhat bordering on blackhat to me - kinda manipulative. I'll definitely put broken link building on the to-do list.

Hi Sean, it's an old domain that used to be active - an artist's graduate portfolio site. We're an education based business....it's loosely relevant. The Royal College of Art links to it.
Thanks for your response.
Hi,
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website.
I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice.
What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging?
Thanks,
Jim
