How many backlinks from one domain?
-
How many backlinks from one domain is too many? 1? 3? 10?
For example, directory listings. If you have 5 separate links to one website in lets say DMOZ (good for you!), is it really only "juicy" one time? Or each one just as awesome?
What about multiple guest articles on a related website? If I had 2 or 3 articles on one website that each have different contextual links, is it just the same as if I had one article?

There is no fixed limit to the number of backlinks you can receive from a single domain. However, it's generally more beneficial to have a diverse backlink profile from multiple domains rather than an excessive number from a single domain. Aim for high-quality backlinks from authoritative and relevant websites to improve your website's SEO performance and credibility.

The number of backlinks from a single domain to your website can vary widely depending on various factors such as the authority of the linking domain, the quality of the content being linked, the linking strategy employed by the domain owner, and more. There isn't a fixed number of backlinks from one domain that is universally considered ideal or excessive.
In general, it's beneficial to have backlinks from a diverse range of domains rather than concentrating too many backlinks from a single domain. While having multiple backlinks from a high-authority domain can positively impact your website's ```

@Cantor-Crane I'm pretty sure that only one link is needed per domain to get max SEO benefit.

Can I get 3 or more backlinks from one article page?

@Paddy_Moogan Thanks for this paddy

A simple reply to your question is Yes 2-3 articles from 1 domain have more weight than 1 article.
From my point of view, it is beneficial for Google as well as users also. If a site gives you the link for more than one time then it will increase the authority of your pages.
Also, you can able to get links for more pages of your website and it's also good for getting more referral traffic.
and it is easy to get links from those who already linked to your pages instead of starting a cold outreach,
Hope it helps.

Hello Paddy,
Thanks for chiming in! Yes these are all great feedback and I agree.
So what I am testing the theory is with posting a handful of articles (10-20 all unique) to high DA/MozTrust websites like HG.org, EzineArticles, etc... HubPages, etc. and probably around 2-3 as guest posts on other well ranking / trusted attorney sites.
Cheers!

Hi Aaron,
The advice from the other guys here is spot on in that it's more about the quality of the domain linking to you than the number of links coming from it. If it's a relevant link and makes sense for users, it's pretty unlikely that it would cause you any problems.
Just to chime in on this question:
"My question is, is it worth have 2-4 articles from one highly relevant website, or will 1 article have the same weight?"
To give you a concrete example, I've guest blogged here on Moz multiple times and each post has links to my site. The first time a link was found to Google would have had more impact than the subsequent ones, but the subsequent ones would still help me because of the trust and relevance that the Moz.com domain has to my own. It's just that these links probably won't be as powerful as getting brand new links from new domains to my website.
I hope that helps!
Paddy

Yes we have been following that rule of thumb as well. We have been picky what sites are posting our articles.
Checking authority of the posting website's backlinks, checking spam score, MozTrust score, IP c-block, etc..
-
Yes it may be beneficial to have more than 1 article with link from the same domain.
As a rule of thumb, do it only if the articles on that domain are getting some internal juice.
And do it only with article targeting different keywords, and linking to different pages of your website.

Please keep in mind that I have absolutely no idea what you do and don't do or knew anything about your market until you replied.
But specifically, If you get a link from a site once, you gain all the benefit that Google is going to give you. Anything additional might have a very small benefit on a diminishing scale, but the general rule is that more than one link from a domain is all that is going to pass the majority of the benefit.
That's not to say that if you gain additional links that these won't help you in other ways.
There is a lot in the Google Raters Guidelines about E.A.T (Expertise, Authority and Trust) that Google use to gauge a site but I doubt that articles posted about the web are going to pass these messages on to them.
There is a huge discussion you can have around this subject before you finally come up with an answer to "are you doing your linkbuilding correctly or not"

That didn't really answer the question. Of course we do other methods of good link building. Yes, we do explain our expertise in the articles as well. Our firm has the most criminal case victories (over 4,000) and the most Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists of any firm in Arizona, to label an attorney as a specialists is a difficult task to achieve.
My question simply was is it beneficial to have 4 different articles with links from a relevant site, or just 1 article?
Also side note, that link you sent is over 4 years old, surely some aspects have changed over that time.
-
it sounds to me like they really don't know what they are doing.
Look at your market - what is being searched for? What is getting shared well? What is inviting natural backlinks? Are there any on-going questions? Are you pitching yourselves as experts, and if so, are you proving this?
There is so much more to link building than posting an article, so I would try not to focus on what others are doing, but look at the current winners and do something better than them.

Thanks for the posts guys! I agree about the relevancy of the links is the main factor.
What brings up the question is we have other websites across the US in the same practice area as us that will post 2-4 guest articles with contextual links.
My question is, is it worth have 2-4 articles from one highly relevant website, or will 1 article have the same weight?

Hi,
Have a read of this Whiteboard Friday where Rand talks about this exact issue - Number 1...
_Number one: I'm worried because I have too many links pointing to my site from one particular domain. Maybe it's a site-wide link. Maybe they just embedded you in their blogroll, and it's linking to you. This isn't a problem unless the links are coming from a highly manipulative source, in which case you'd hope they weren't linking to you anyway. But I wouldn't stress too much about it. I'll get to people pointing bad links to you in a second. If you have 80,000 links pointing to you from one particular site, don't stress. This isn't going to kill your SEO. It's not the end of the world. If there's a good, editorial, natural reason why those links should exist, it's probably going to help you. What it won't do is help you 79,000 times more than if you just had a few pages on there, but it will help. It's not a terrible thing. Don't panic. I would almost never worry about this unless the links are from particularly terrible, spammy pages, in which case you might sort of worry, right? _

Hi there
There really is no right or wrong answer to this but the real question you should be asking is the following: are the links that are pointing to your website from another site relevant and helpful to those who see it?
Having a bunch of links from a site isn't necessary if it's not relevant to your site, or if they are just strewn about in random categories. I will take one really good link over 100 redundant links any day.
So just make sure whatever links you are getting are actually beneficial and useful to those seeing it. If it's not relevant or helpful, or just a bunch of links, then chances are they aren't worth having.
I actually have more points here that you can read - https://mza.bundledseo.com/community/q/about-link-building-in-2015#reply_290945
On my phone and can't link! Will update that when I can, sorry!
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Does multiple sites that relate to one company hurt seo
I know this has been asked and answered but my situation is a little different. I am a local electrical contractor. I specialize in a service and not a product. Competition is high in the local market due to the other electrical contractors that have well seasoned sites with very good DA/PA. Although new to the web I am not new to the trade. Throughout years almost back to the AOL dialup days I have been collecting domain names for this particular purpose. Now I want to put them to good use. Being an electrical contractor, there are many different facets of work and services we provide. My primary site is empireelec.com A second site I threw online overnight with minimal content is jacksonvillelightingrepair.com. Although it is a fresh site, there is minimal content and I have put almost zero effort in to it. It appears to be ranking for keywords a lot quicker. That leads me to believe I should utilize my other domain jacksonvillefloridaelectrician.com and target just the keyword Jacksonville Florida Electrician. It leads me to believe I should use jacksonvillebeachelectrician.com for targeting electricians in jacksonville beach. And again with jacksonvilleelectricianservice.com I can provide a unique phone number for each site. Am I going about this all wrong? Everything I read says no,no,no but I feel my situation is a little more unique.

Choosing the best domain for international website section
Hi, i made a question before but the answer not clarified me yet: https://mza.bundledseo.com/community/q/which-is-the-best-xx-or-com-xx-in-general-and-for-seo I mark as answered inadvertently. I want to know what you think about choosing ".es" or ".com.es" for create a section for Spain and redirect them from the homepage. Same for Mexico.

I think that is not so important for SEO, but i am not completely sure about other factors.
Big marks like Toshiba use:

http://www.toshiba**.com.mx** and Cocacola:

http://www.coca-cola**.com.mx** ".es" for spain and ."com.mx" for mexico?0 -
Onsite Optimization for 2 Locations on One Site
Hello, We have multiple client who have 2 office locations n the same state in varying counties and would like to have their site rank for two counties. Is this plausible ? For instance they would like their header tags to read "Lawyer in Middlesex & Monmouth County NJ" Rather than "Middlesex County NJ Lawyer" Would this be an effective strategy or be seen as stuffing by Google?

Subdomain for ticketing of a client website (how to solve SEO problems caused by the subdomain/domain relationship)
We have a client in need of a ticketing solution for their domain (let's call it www.domain.com) which is on Wordpress - as is our custom ticket solution. However, we want to have full control of the ticketing, since we manage it for them - so we do not want to build it inside their original Wordpress install. Our proposed solution is to build it on tickets.domain.com. This will exist only for selling and issuing the tickets. The question is, is there a way to do this without damaging their bounce rate and SEO scores?
Local Website Optimization | | Adam_RushHour_Marketing
Since customers will come to www.domain.com, then click the ticketing tab and land on tickets.domain.com, Google will see this as a bounce. In reality, customers will not notice the difference as we will clone the look and feel of domain.com Should we perhaps have the canonical URL of tickets.domain.com point to www.domain.com? And also, can we install Webmaster Tools for tickets.domain.com and set the preferred domain as www.domain.com? Are these possible solutions to the problem, or not - and if not, does anyone else have a viable solution? Thank you so much for the help.0 -
What is the optimal approach for a new site that has geo-targeted content available via 2 domains?
OK, so I am helping a client with a new site build. It is a lifestyle/news publication that traditionally has focused on delivering content for one region. For ease of explanation, let's pretend the brand/domain is 'people-on-the-coast.com'. Now they are now looking to expand their reach to another region using the domain 'people-in-the-city.com'. Whilst on-the-coast is their current core business and already has some search clout, they are very keen on the city market and the in-the-city domain. They would like to be able to manage the content through one CMS (joomla) and the site will deliver articles and the logo based on the location of the user (city or coast). There will also be cases where the content is duplicated for both regions. The design/layout etc. will all remain identical. So what I am really wanting to know is the pros, cons and ultimately the best approach to handle the setup and ongoing management from an SEO (and UX) perspective. All I see is problems! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Where should I 301 redirect my current domain to given this situation?
My company currently owns three apartment complexes. They are within blocks of each other. Only one of them has a website (believe it or not). The one that has the website ranks fairly well, but only because it has been around for a long time. There have not been any intentional SEO efforts. I have stumbled across a wonderful, keyword rich & location specific, domain name but I have a question. Here's the scenario: We have: Apartment Complex 1 - www.apartmentcomplex1.com (longstanding website) Apartment Complex 2 - No website. Apartment Complex 3 - No website. We are considering buying the domain: www.KeywordRichDomain.com. The new URL structure would be: www.KeywordRichDomain.com/apartment-complex-1 www.KeywordRichDomain.com/apartment-complex-2 www.KeywordRichDomain.com/apartment-complex-3 Should I 301 redirect www.apartmentcomplex1.com to the new root domain or should I redirect it to the appropriate sub-folder of the new domain? Putting myself in the user's shoes, if I were expecting to go to the apartmentcomplex1.com domain, I would want to land on the sub-folder because it's relevant to what I was looking for. However, I don't think people will directly type in the old URL. I think people will be searching for apartments in the area and I want all three of our complexes to show up. By redirecting the good domain to this new root domain, it should help us start out life pretty well in the SERPS. (my assumption at least). Thoughts?
