      dankstop.com

      Almost all of their links come from mainly the same few sites, and some of their links have a really high spam score.

        I ran an audit
        148K Backlinks from 151 domains and 149 Ip address
        on average 1000 links per domain
        Much of those links are sponsored, this means they are not buying links, they are running an affiliate campaing.

        So basically there are many bloggers creating and promoting content related with the products of DankStop and of course they are sending traffic to the site beacuse if someone buy, they recieve a commision.

        This an example
        http://euphoria.press/best-cheap-dab-rigs/
        if you look in deep you will found a link with the anchor "DankStop" pointing to dankstop.com

        Is a very common practice in the affiliations world

          Thank-you!  I am aware that they actually have a really big affiliate program; so, that makes a lot of sense.

            A very interesting detail is the use "affiliatly" as affiliate tracking software at Dankstop, I personally prefer to use Linktrust.
