How are you supposed to manage your backlink profile?
-
If you have a site that has 200k+ backlinks, and you are receiving anywhere from 1-4k new links daily (according to majestic), how are you supposed to manage your link profile?
We don't do any black hat tactics or any link building, and at the rate of new links coming in, we are afraid that Penguin might hit us one day. We have never used the disavow tool yet either.
What are we supposed to do exactly?
-
We have had over 9k new backlinks shown daily on majestic as of late...I notice many site wides, and then some that are relevant.
I can't see google expecting us to manually review them all!

I agree with Jesse and Takeshi it seems like you have a good thing going on, but if you are afraid of where the links are coming from or who is building them I would look at the anchor text.
Also I would take a look and see what websites are linking to you. At a rate of a 1,000 it'll be hard to view all of them but view a few of them and figure out why they're linking to you? Is it just spam or do you actually have great content on your website? This might help from a content building strategy as well.

Well if you're getting that many links - I would keep a close eye on your 404 pages. How is your link velocity? What I would do is try to get involved in the conversions online. Go get buzz bundle and monitor your brand and keywords there and at that rate you said will be able to maybe increase/influence conversions.
Good Job. Bravo!

Like Jesse says, you don't have to worry about it too much unless you suspect people are intentionally spamming you. It may be worth it to pull a weekly report of backlinks, and filter by things like DA and anchor text to see if there are any alarming trends, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it if you have a solid backlink profile. Most large sites accrue tons of spammy links naturally.
-
Nothing! Nothing unless you need to. If those links are coming in organically then the anchor text should be varied and you should be golden.
Carry on, keep that rank improving, and bravo!!

Hi folks, Our dev team is planning on building our new marketing webpages on SSG or Static Site Generator(we are stepping away from SSR). Based on my research this is something that can help our SEO in particular for site speed (our site has a poor score).

Very unsure about thousands of backlinks from jesse tree
Google Search Console shows 4K backlinks from jessetree.net (i do not see this backlink in Moz inbound links though). I have been tracking backlinks from this domain for half a year and it fluctuates between 1K and 6K is the highest I have seen it, not sure what is causing the link count to change. We are using Google's disavow tool against this domain and have been for 5 months. Does anyone have any idea what jesse tree is and any insight into this odd (to me) backlink situation?

How to manage user profiles in your website?
We have a real estate website in which agents and builders can create their profiles. My question is shall we use h1 or h2 tags in business profile pages or make them according to web 2.0 standards? In case header tags are used, if two agents have the same name and we have used h2 tag for them, then search result page will end up having two same h2's. Can someone please tell me the right way to manage business profiles in a website? Thanks

Complicated Question: Removing Spam Backlinks that were Not Requested
I'm new and seeking help with the following scenario: 1. Main site: is a domain.com established authority type site 2. Second site: is a domain.org (has robots.txt to no index) but someone obviously not site owner has done negative seo campaign against the .org domain and built spammy links to it. In fact, that's all that exist on this second domain because it is used for development purposes only right now.) No one would link to this one normally as it is just secondary domain used to protect trademark and for development use.) When searching for it by domain name it does not appear on first page for search results. Checking link profile the only links that show for domain.org are spam links. Have contacted site/s where spam links were placed (no answer) Main site domain.com and domain.org have same whois and hosted on the same server as they are owned by same company Main site domain.com still appears first for its name but has lost some rankings. I am working to fix some technical issues ie: duplicate urls with CMS etc, but would like to find out what to do about the domain.org content that clearly has had someone target it with spammy non requested backlinks.) domain.com has Google webmaster tools account, no messages about unnatural liking in those reports 1. I'm not sure I should add domain.org to GWT to see if there is an unnatural link penalty applied or if this would further connect the two domains through association. If I could get some feedback/suggestions on what my options are with regards to making sure that the domain.org domain has a clean profile that would be most appreciated. Also because site owner has would like to begin using domain.org in the future for some unique content, but as it stands right now cannot because domain has been targed by poor backlinks. Anyone else run into situation where the .org or .net versions were targeted by spammy backlinks even though the domains were not actively used? What's the safest way to proceed? a) Concerned about possible co-penalty between main site domain.com and domain.org b) how to remove problems issues with domain.org so that owner can use it in future. Many thanks for your thoughts and help with this one. I appreciate any help or feedback.

High PR backlinking blogs
I have a few high pr blogs all setup on different ip addresses. Should I optimize these blogs for my chosen keywords I want to use as backlinks to my "money site". In other words if my keyword is "ice cream" and im sending links back to my money site with the anchor text "ice cream" and ice cream type keywords...wouldnt it be logical to make that blog optimized for ice cream as well? My thought is that google will find these links even more powerful if they come from a website that already appears to be ice cream related. ...man i want some ice cream now
