      I have listed my domain in several Ask the Community requests. These have resulted in links from the Ask the Community posts showing up in MOZ site explorer. So actual links have been detected.

      Are these links harmful to my link profile? The content is not at all related to commercial real estate which is the subject of our website.

      Thanks, Alan

        I wouldn't think they would be harmful but I've heard of Youmoz links being put (wrongly but it happened) into reconsideration request example links.  So yes, any link has the potential to be harmful.  If you think it may not be a good link, you can edit your post and un-link it, but I would think it won't do you much either way.

          All the links in Q&A are nofollowed.

            Moz knows very well, it may affect bad moz itself.

            So, Moz has already been using nofollowed tag in all such external sources link to get rid of such fear.

            as above Keri said
