      Hi all,

      I'm managing the seo for a hosting company. We have a lot of parked domains with a parked domain page. This will now be updated to promote our products.

      When this page is updated it will give 50k+ of low quality links to specific pages almost overnight.

      We curently don't have a very good seo ranking for our keywords, so there is little risk on the downside in the short term.

      Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about this?

      Some alternatives off the top of my head:

      1. get the page up an focus all the link equity on relevant pages with keywords in anchor text

      2. add noindex / nofollowto all pages or only part of them to avoid puishment

      3. add noindex /  to the majority of the pages and "release" a percentage every week or so to avoid a "link bomb"

      Thanks for any and all input!

        Most of these parked domains probably have zero inbound links from other websites that can be found in Google's index.  If that is true then the links from these parked domains will pass zero power to your primary domain.

        Is there any risk?  One way of looking at this is your "intent".  If Google thinks that the links that you place on these domains were placed to manipulate rankings then you could be whacked for it.  Using keyword optimized anchor text could be a signal that you are doing this for manipulation.

        If I controlled these domains and had a long-term stake in my primary website  I would probably "nofollow" the links and try to get my links from another method.

          Under ordinary circumstances I would just go ahead and do it, however lately I am seeing an increased activity of Google taking action against link manipulation. I would put proper disclosure on the landing page explaining why users are seeing it and if you do get in trouble it's a very simple explanation to Google.

          If you, however, trigger an algorithmic filter then the solution is to nofollow all the links and wait for Google to pick it up.

          If you don't want any dramas to start with use nofollow straight away.

            Thanks for the replies! I'll go ahead and let the links pass power with a proper disclosure on the page. If it all goes south I'll post an update here.
