      Hi

      I've recently discovered Bing's linkfromdomain: operator and have been testing it on a few of my wordpress sites which are running the DIVI theme from elegant themes

      These are new sites with little or no content yet

      I was a bit alarmed when the results showed site I definitely had not linked to eg

      slickdeals dot net
      2521.gen778 dot com
      9gag dot com
      flowers.ftd dot com
      www.jmldirect dot com
      pubs.rsna dot org

      is this an error from the Bing linkfromdomain: operaror

      because when I run the domains through xenu these sites do not show

      Hope someone can help

        You'd do best by using ScreamingFrog to check any outbound links.  If they don't exist don't worry about it.

          Thanks Michael

          I used screaming frog and no suspicious outbound links from my sites show

          but when I check linkfromdomain: on Bing the suspicious links show

          Hopefully this is an error with Bing

          • What is the importance of root domains linking to your website in Google's rankings? I notice our competition has a much higher number on keywords I'm analyzing. Thank you!

          • I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?
