Hi guys,

My main competitor has 650 Referring domains but 40k Backlinks. One of these domain link him 30k times.

Does it actually help in some way?

Or it would be better to have 650 Referring domains (High DA/DR etc), but being linked 1=1?


Thanks!

Need more info.
Having 30k backlinks from the same domain is unnatural to say the least but we need to understand why and how s/he has 30k backlinks from 1 domain.

PS: at the same time Reuters can have 30k backlinks from the same domain and it's totally fine... that's why we need more info.

It happened to me with a spam blog of mine. Suddenly, due to an error I had like 50k backlinks from like 20 domains lol. It actually helped my backlinked site lol!
 
Links from a single domain don't carry as much weight as they used to. As Google continues to update its algorithm, it places more emphasis on other factors such as links coming from unique domains, etc

Usually, they are considered SPAM. Still, in some cases, they do not affect negatively. Last year I created some support tickets on Wordpress.org & other websites and found around 8K links for that site but no effect.

Yes, It's obviously better.

Yes! Links you build should have at least some benefit to your site, either in terms of ranking or authority. It's not just about backlinks!

Linking from the same domain multiple times gives you less value(pass very less link juice) and may indicate that seems unnatural. Your links may be considered spam.
If you are building links with high authority domains, a 4:1 ratio is fine, but ensure that all of the links are not all pointing to one page (to add value and benefit to your site).

Build links to all the inner pages in order to diversify your backlink profile.
 
It is spam.
Google considers several links from same domain as one.

right. ages ago footer links (example: wordpress theme linking back to creator's site) used to carry weightage. now, google will +1 for single link, and skip other site-wide links to same domain.

It's not spam... just check the footer of BHW: "Design by: Pixel Exit".
But seo value of those links is very low.

Did your website ever get penalized because of it?
 
Certainly, a red flag but you never know
Google might choose to ignore it
 
similar case happend with one of my sites and the no of backlinks from another domain was going crazy like 20k but the site not affected negatively so i think google ignore it

Building excessive amount of backlinks from the same domain not really provides much value. To be on the safer side, build optimum amount of backlinks from the same domain.
 
i got this situation too but i once google update maybe wont be that effective though.
