Links from relevant domain names not helps in SEO

Bit old info, but in the past I always said, links from relevant domains are more powerful, but this is very wrong. I think a lot of SEOs here thinking the same - think again.

What I read in seroundtable is that "GoogleBot Doesn't Pass A Referrer; Generally Directly Hits URLs", wich is officially tweeted by JohnMu in 2017. Can't share links, but you can google it.

This means no mather if the domain is named yourniche.tld or irelevantniche.tld, the only thing that have sence is content on the site and content arownd link.

So not relevant domains, but only relevant sites have sence.

This is very helpful if you are planning to made PBN - go for metrics instead for relevancy.

No, what it means is your website will not know what link the Googlebot found the website from.

It does not mean that Google does not know what sites link to each other, they absolutely do and it is at the heart of the algorithm.

Nasko,

What are the chances that website with name "varnabeaches.com" is NOT about Varna`s beaches? Of course the content is what`s important, and not solely the domain name. However those things are related..

How many Varna beaches related domain names you see in top 10 when search google.

Think about what I said. Then look at what you state.

Of course that the domain name itself doesn't carry much of relevancy - your domain name can be GGHF.com and your website to be about erotic massages. Of course then errotic massages is what is relevant to your website, not GGHF... however when your domain name is eroticmassages.xyz what are the chances that your website would be for something else?

What I say in title is "domain name" and not "site content"

So let say you are planning to made site on erotic massages or you already have such, and you are going for expired domains for the site or for PBN - will you get eroticmassages.xyz with e.g. DA20 or you will get e.g. somefemalename.xyz with DA 30. In the past my choice shoud be eroticmassages.xyz, but I were wrong.

Yes, google bot spider on the links and have data for them, but the domain name itself (as characters) have not SEO impact in link building out the site and I'm 90% sure in this. Not 100%, but this is the right place for discussion .

To be clear as domain name I mean domain itself and not its metrics and not the site attached to this domain.

Once again, I'm not say domain name have not SEO impact in link building - only site content and domain metrics have impacts.

The search rankings algorithm.

Googlebot, the crawler that visits websites, does not pass the referrer, where the link to the page was found, to the website. This statement is likely true but has absolutely no bearing on how Google handles the information of what sites link to other sites and how they factor that into the rankings.

A referrer being passed or not does not give any information about how Google handles relevancy or how that pertains to the rankings.
