If it’s not a huge site like Reddit, Youtube, or any other site that gets 1KK links in a natural way, than you may be dealing with GSA-spammed websites or sitewide links. How many original domains among these sites? Maybe it’s 10 original domains with sitewide links through thousands of pages.

I work in adtech and have seen many sites with millions of backlinks because it’s a requirement to link to the company’s privacy policy from consent management platforms etc.

One way is by building a legitimate and well known brand.

The question you should be asking is are those quality links? There are millions of bots out there that spam every blog or any other site where you can submit a url and with a little luck get it to display. But does are low quality links and they will do more harm than good.

No one has millions of real backlinks. Semrush and ahrefs pick up 99% spam links which don’t actually contribute to your website ranking.
To get the real number, do this:
– do follow filter
– one link per referring domain
– exclude links from sites with extremely low da/Dr/authority
– manually remove all spam sites from the remaining listYou’ll go from 1 mil backlinks to around 1k, which is a LOT more achievable.

some websites get linked by news sites link to as a source of information.

That’s called Black Hat SEO

Most likely these links coming from 1 or 2 websites. Auto generated pages and link is in a footer. I’ve seen this before.

A lot of muddy water – to say its just spam is kind of accurate, because spam is often just something that isn’t solicited and often at scale (like email, like spam calls). but its not necessarily malicious. The problem with that theory is that the majority of sites with them aren’t actually penalized but people have a problem thinking that Google watches everything they do and if its for “SEO” then it must be spammy. This just isn’t true. the backlinks aren’t a scale or gradient – its binary. Its either good or bad. The amount that flows is a scale but that’s not because of a spam filter, that’s about relationships. If it flows, its good.
There are so many reasons – broken CDNs, images, hot-linking, ad platforms, broken farms… its very common
Because people don’t recognize them they call them “Spammy looking backlinks” – there’s a big fear of “negative SEO” even though the number of cases proven to be successful are very, very few (from Google).
There’s also a lot of cover stories for people who get penalized or agencies who get caught to hide behind “spammy links” where in fact “Link Spam” (the google term) is in tens and are from “legit” looking blogs – you can tell – they link a specific keyword, often in the middle directly to a page with the same slug and randomly link to a bunch of different other blogs with no connection (between the target domains) – the claim often is that they’re natural and got them for ranking for that phrase yet after they get caught, they’re not ranking.
