I know that 301-redirects show up as backlinks in Ahrefs/Semrush, but what about 302-redirects? Do they show up at all or do they not count as a backlink?

How do crawlers (Ahrefs, SEMRush etc) know what backlinks are pointing to my site? Let's say I have SiteA and SiteB. SiteA is linking to SiteB. Can a crawler only crawl SiteB and know that SiteA is linking to it, or does it have to crawl both in order to establish this?

Here is a list of most common crawlers I found, if anyone else is interested: https://udger.com/resources/ua-list/crawlers

Also, if I would block all the seo crawlers right now. Would my page still show up in Ahrefs/SEMrush etc because they have already crawled my backlinks?

Yep, this is what I am doing atm, but if they do a backlink analysis, they will see that I am 302/301 the misspelled domains to that page. Sweet! This sounds very interesting! I have never thought that you can block them out. Is there a complete list of all the most common SEO spiders to block...

So far I am using multiple 301s (2-3) over different domains in order to at least make it a bit harder for them to see where the traffic is originating from. Interesting with a Tweet. But what is the actual difference from just bouncing it through a "review page" that I am doing now? They could...

I have some misspellings of domain names that generate quite some traffic. I have tried redirecting them to different affiliate programs and have earned quite some $$$ through them. However, if they find out I do that, they will close my affiliate accounts. Is there a way to hide the redirects...

Sure, but most registrars have whois protection that is included in the price / for free. Except that, is there a reason to spread out your domains to different registrars?

Time to leave Google and their services for good. Looking for a new analytics tools that does not charge me my firstborn. Clicky or Matomo looks interesting. Matomo looks a bit more modern and similar to GA. Which one do you prefer of them 2 and why?

Just out of curiosity - why use different registrars? What at registrar level binds you together with other domains? Sure, if you are with some obscure registrar but the big ones?

Any recommendations of other tracking/analytics solutions that won't give away data to Google?

I doubt Solana will survive this bear market. I also doubt we will every see a new ATH. Early investors are selling off and have been doing so for quite some time.

Say that you are running many sites in the same nische, competing for the same keywords. I guess Google does not like that. How do you hide that you are the owner of all ths sites? Different IPs are good I guess, but if they are all linked to the same GA account, Google knows that they are...

Of course. But that also means that someone could easily do that to you or to me if they want to be mean. In high competitive niches, people are willing to sell the firstborn to reach #1.

So this would (in theory) mean that if you want to impose negative SEO on your competitors, you could just inflate their DA/DR artificially?
