Millions of links from one domain - unnatural?

[sichristie]

I have a question:

One of the sites that I work for has 3.1 million site-wide links (according to WM Tools) from one domain pointing to us. This domain has a Domain Authority of 93.

We have (according to OSE) more than 3, 500 Domains linking to us. We have a Domain Authority of 88.

In other words, one of those 3,500 domains is highly reputable, and is sending us 3.1 million site-wide links.

This represents 60% of all the links pointing to us (again according to WMTools). Is this something to be worried about? Or delighted about? Would you consider it an unnatural link profile?

Post-Penguin it's supposed to be a bit of a concern. On the other hand, we have 12,900 links from a single site, yet we have moved to the #1 position as a result of Penguin and a lot of white hat SEO, of course. I know 12,900 is nowhere near 3.1 million, but the site that links to ours is nowhere near a DA of 93 so I guess you could say it balances out?

Depends on your site. In isolation it's probably nothing to be worried about.

If all of your links are coming from sitewide's then I'd be concerned.

But if it's a none spammy site with a legitimate reason for linking to you then I wouldn't lose any sleep over it at all.

In fact I'd say it's a big win.

i think this not can be consider spam just for the numbers, you need to think in a few thinks when you concern with punishiment:

1. 1st of all, are that link coming from Spamming sites?

2. Think in a person navigating in a site with alot of links for you, they will fill unconforteble (i'm sorry, a don't find the correct word) about this link?

3. You build this links whith ranking proposal?

The google aways (or not) think about user, if you have alot of links coming from a partner or a client is natural and you having nothing to be concern.

Good Luck, and send some of those links for me

On the balance of your answers it sounds like a positive thing. The site is highly reputable and even though on a another c-domain (which is a great thing) is a 'friend' of ours.

I guess the quantity of links is safe.
