Reply To: Purchased a domain with 810k backlinks

[Digital_Scroll]

Dear OP:

A domain authority score of 4 with that many backlinks is a potential huge red flag.

You may find the vast majority of those 180k backlinks to be absolutely useless as far as passing link equity.

You should run a **Backlink Audit** using tools like Ahrefs or Semrush (BTW, I don’t have a horse in any of those races).

Plug the site in question into one of these platforms, and apply the following filters:

1. Dofollow only
2. Active links only
3. One link per domain

Why?

–> Nofollow = No SEO link equity

–>Non-active links = No value; they’re dead

–> Multiple links from same domain = diluted (minimal) SEO link equity

Good luck 🙂
