Forwarding a domain seems to be creating 10,720 backlinks according to majestic?
-
I have a site toptwincitiesrealtors.com that points to my main site mnpropertygroup.com when I look up my backlinks on majestic it says I have 10,720 coming from this toptwincitiesrealtors.com site. should I stop pointing that site? I have a low trust flow but high citation flow on my mnpropertygroup.com site and a 0 trust flow and 5 citation flow on my toptwincitiesrealtors.com site

If toptwincitiesrealtors.com has a good authority/backlink profile, it will help mnpropertygroup.com rank.
If toptwincitiesrealtors.com is penalized, it may pass along that penalty.

Any harm in no longer forwarding this site and just using it as another site for lead gen?

"or majestic is counting each redirected page on the old toptwincitiesrealtors.com site as a backlink"
That is what I would guess is happening, I believe the same happens in Google Search Console when you do the same thing.

Looks like you are redirecting toptwincitiesrealtors.com to your main site. This would pass along all backlinks to the main site. (Either that, or majestic is counting each redirected page on the old toptwincitiesrealtors.com site as a backlink).
In either case, where does toptwincitiesrealtors.com get its backlinks from? If its from other quality, niche relevant sites, having it redirect is fine.

Domain authority vs. anchor text in backlinks
Hi - I launched a new blog ~3 months ago and I've managed to get some backlinks from Yahoo, Cnet, Huffington Post, Gimodo, etc. I created some compelling and unique content. However, all of the anchor text of all of the links is mywebsite.com or mywebsite. None of them are the actual keywords I want such as "this website is great for keyword blah and keyword blah" My question is....could I get more "juice" from these links if they had more specific anchor text or is their high domain authority enough as far as google is concerned?

Backlinks and Domain Authority
Hi there, I have a question on backlinks. I have seen conflicting stories about it, and hoping someone with a vast amount of experience will be able to help me (If you could please be so kind). Now I understand the difference between 'no-follow' links and 'follow' links. I have accumulated quite a few 'no-follow' links through things like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc. I understand that they won't feed my site authority or trust; or anything of that sort (I do work on content too, and have gotten a few follow links, don't worry). Now I have seen conflicting answers to the actual importance of them. Some things I have read are saying that SEs completely ignore them (NFL), and they don't even consider them a 'link', but rather a user tool to further the experience of the reader on your site. Which is fair enough, but then people are turning around and also saying that Google relies heavily on them, and they only make up 5% of the internet or something. I have even read something saying they are the only ones worth getting (I know that is bs, but they must have a reason behind this thought?). If someone could enlighten me as to a 'ideal' ratio, and also any little known authoritative sites I could look at submitting content to. I am in the plumbing business, and doing my own sites, so I'm no expert. Also, what are the importance of comment links? I don't go for them, but don't know if I should? Sorry for the mouthful, but I would really appreciate help on this matter. Kindest regards, Kyle The Plumber Bro's The Electrician Bro's
