      I have an opportunity to place a guest blog on a site. The site has the following metrics:

      • DA/PA: 24/36

      • Inbound links: 3K+ from 16 root domains

      Here is what makes me uneasy:

      • The number of links from the same domain, suggesting sitewide or footer links

      • When I look at the backlinks, there are links from sites like http://best-american-law-firms.info/, or http://www.luvbuds.info/. They sare blogroll links that are likely paid for.

      Would you get a link from this blog?

        If the other 14 domains are like those 2 then I wouldn't waste my time. Probably wouldn't hurt, but life is too short!

          ALL their backlinks are blogroll links. Not looking good!

              Search branded and non-branded terms for the site on Google to see how the site performs. If they aren't deindexed or performing poorly for their targeted keywords it probably wouldn't hurt to obtain a link from them.

              However, it would probably be better to put your guest post efforts elsewhere.
