      I was doing research with Moz's Link Explorer and one of our competitors had almost 50 links coming from sites like this. Mostly nofollow  but we all know that today the nofollow can still help. My question is this: Will links like these help in any shape or matter. The reason I am asking is because Link Explorer is finding them, so I am sure Google will find them as well.

      Examples of sites: http://www.microlinkinc.com, http://www.cmolink.com

      The sites that I found via analyzing had DA 35-40

      I don't want to share all urls but you get the point. Basically these sites are free keyword analyzing sites, once you put in a keyword they will bring up to 20 sites that rank for that keyword. And my research suggests that these pages stay and are crawl-able since Moz has crawled them. For example Moz says: date first seen 09/12/2018   so almost 6 months has passed but that result that was searched I am assuming has stayed. Would it make sense to search on such sites keywords that you know you are ranking for and then your site would be listed below and stay there for Google to crawl and another nofollow link in our link basket. Is my thinking correct or is it waste of time. Frankly it would take 2sec to run a search for each keyword. Any feedback and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

            No. Just No. I would never put my money or efforts on any of this. A high DA doesn't mean anything if it still looks like spam (which this clearly does).

              • I am concerned about the links pointing to my site. There have been an additional 273 dodgy links added in the last 2 months for unknown reasons skewing the linking domains by DA to mostly 1-10\. Could this be a negative SEO campaign?
