      Hi all,

      I just wanted to ask you all about backlinks that redirect to your site. I recently used Link Detox Tools to carry out a link analysis. However, some of our backlinks are redirecting to our homepage. Is this ok? Why is this happening?

      Thanks guys!!!

        Have you got some examples?

        It isn't a bad thing but it depends what the anchor text is that has been used really. I take it you mean external backlinks and not internal?

          Is it possible that the links used to link to internal pages that you have since killed and redirected to your home page?
