What impact has external links reported as http503
-
Hello
I have 72 external broken links who are reported with a http 503 status. When I ask the owner of that site, he confirmed he has removed it from GA by using this status.
My question is. Does this have an impact for the quality of my site? The site is available, there is no delay when you open the link.
Thank you for your support.

Well, i see why it's being reported as 503. Cause even i can see it in developer tools. the main domain has 302 redirect and then responds with 503. Anyway, for you there is gonna be no difference in terms of seo. As far as I know google ranking algos don't use outbound links as signals. As relevance signals - sure, but not really of a much impact on rankings itself.

Hi
Thank you for the reply. The site impacting is this one: http://soulspring.no In the footer there is a link to this site: http://www.matsaabo.com/. This link is not listed in Moz as broken, but in Screaming Frog I get this as broken with the status http 503. When I approached the owner of that site, he said:
http 503 is targetting GA (my comment. I assumed it was Google Analytics) To turn off Google Analytics. GA, but it should only be GA who received this error messge.
That is why I asked the question. But I gues as long Moz.com don't report it as a broken link we are good.

Hi there.
_"he has removed it from GA" - _this is very weird statement, can you give me more details?
Also, if those links are broken, then why don't you remove them? or those links are inbound? if they are inbound, then you wouldn't have any impact SEO wise, since they pretty much wouldn't count as backlinks.
Hope this helps.

Can using url builder for campaign tracking impact link equity?
We have used the URL builder tools for building custom links that are placed on our referrer websites mainly for campaign tracking in Google Analytics, but when you use a shortened link on another website how does that impact the the link juice or equity? Is there any negative impact on the link rankings? Or should you provide the specific landing page url to the company that will be posting a link to your site?
