Using parked domain page to get 50k+ of low quality links, good idea?
-
Hi all,
I'm managing the seo for a hosting company. We have a lot of parked domains with a parked domain page. This will now be updated to promote our products.
When this page is updated it will give 50k+ of low quality links to specific pages almost overnight.
We curently don't have a very good seo ranking for our keywords, so there is little risk on the downside in the short term.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about this?
Some alternatives off the top of my head:
1. get the page up an focus all the link equity on relevant pages with keywords in anchor text
2. add noindex / nofollowto all pages or only part of them to avoid puishment
3. add noindex / to the majority of the pages and "release" a percentage every week or so to avoid a "link bomb"
Thanks for any and all input!

Thanks for the replies! I'll go ahead and let the links pass power with a proper disclosure on the page. If it all goes south I'll post an update here.

Under ordinary circumstances I would just go ahead and do it, however lately I am seeing an increased activity of Google taking action against link manipulation. I would put proper disclosure on the landing page explaining why users are seeing it and if you do get in trouble it's a very simple explanation to Google.
If you, however, trigger an algorithmic filter then the solution is to nofollow all the links and wait for Google to pick it up.
If you don't want any dramas to start with use nofollow straight away.

Most of these parked domains probably have zero inbound links from other websites that can be found in Google's index. If that is true then the links from these parked domains will pass zero power to your primary domain.
Is there any risk? One way of looking at this is your "intent". If Google thinks that the links that you place on these domains were placed to manipulate rankings then you could be whacked for it. Using keyword optimized anchor text could be a signal that you are doing this for manipulation.
If I controlled these domains and had a long-term stake in my primary website I would probably "nofollow" the links and try to get my links from another method.

Link value from high authority domains vs low authority domains. How big is the difference?
Hi Guys. Could you send me in the direction of some quality information on link value. i.e) How much 'link juice' do you get from high authority domains vs low authority domains. Also, I understand the Moz value for DA is logarithmic, not linear. Does this also mean that a link from a site with a really high DA would be exponentially higher value than a site with a low DA. You know....like orders of magnitude better? Cheers in advance, I love you guys 😉 Isaac.

Sitewide links from affiliates. Good or bad?
We have 14 affiliate sites that have a sitewide banner linked to one of our pages. The banner link is "follow" and contains an alt text that includes a brand name and a keyword. Are these links harming us, or creating value? We were hit by Panda 2.0 - do you think it might be the reason?

Using Online Communities for link building..
Hello. All I have a question in regards to online communities. Is joining an online community( i.e. Industry related forums, commenting on industry related news sites, responding to blog post) a good way to do link building? I don't mean in the sense of spamming but actually being an active part of a online community and adding valuable to the conversation. I have tried posting blog post on a industry related online community: biggerpockets.com but this site does not show up as a link when I pull an open site explorer for my website. Any suggestions ?

Question about forwarding domains and link juice
We currently have a domain that has a small amount of inbound links: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.1800wecoach.com/a!links We decided to switch over to a different domain name, which currently has 0 inbound links. What we were wondering is which would be better: link to the new domain from the old domain in a prominent location on all pages. or forward the old domain to the new domain? does forwarding a domain pass linkjuice?
