      Hi all,

      what experience do you have with Bit.ly links? Can I use it for backlinking management?

        @LoganRay What do you mean with tagging the url before? Where do I need to tag it? For expample, my url is: TGCsystem.com and this is my shortlink: https://bit.ly/tgc-system

              I tried to post links on bit.ly a few months ago, but they are still not indexed: [https://bit.ly/m/WALTAL007](link url) I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I even tweeted the link, but it didn't help. Indexing is tracked in ahrefs by this site: https://www.meddirekt24.com

                    Hi @Tormar,

                    I had used bit.ly for my B2B site but after some time. Bit.ly link discovers as a referenced page for my real page URL in the Google Search Console.

We will compare it against the Solar Pool Installation Company Link https://www.myfloridasolar.com/pool-heating/solar-pool-heating/ as the control. Ok! Golink text

                          @Murtaza65544 Services Like Bit.ly are like Sun Spots. They're not designed to get you back links. They're just URL Shorteners. If your looking to get backlinks, forums are a good way to get UGC backlinks from places like Moz.

                          SolarPanelRepairServiceSalesAndInstallationServicesFlaglerCountyFlorida.png

                          See that's a Solar Pool Pump. It's not a backlink for Brevard County SEO.

                          Hire someone like David from webduh if you're trying to get backlinks.

                              Staxio uses bit.ly when the make drive stacks for certain sites. Webduh has even seen this site be used for high DA authority links. Does anyone have experience with Staxio and how they use bitly?

                                I used bit.ly for a google stack drive for a Solar Client with no success so far in indexing.

                                            Seriously, Moz. It’s time to shut this thread down.

                                              Moz team, looks like this has turned into feeble attempts at creating links instead if discussing them. Might be time to turn comments off.

                                                  it seems that I have the same issue. I generated by bitly links within the platform some time ago, they just dont show up. I created a bitly link for my SEO gold coast  page.

                                                  I wondering what I am doing wrong.

                                                    Hey,

                                                    I had built bitly links for my page German shepherd names. I am waiting from last 3-4 months it is not showing anywhere.  I was searching on google to resolve this issue but I found this post. I am surprised after reading this that bots are not wrong because people guided me that bitly links are very strong and bots crawl it.

                                                      They will show up in Open Site Explorer, I've seen shortlink URLs show up there for a handful of clients.

                                                        ok, tnx.

                                                        Why I can't see any Bit.ly link on any tool for backlinks?

                                                          Hi,

                                                          You can use bit.ly for backlinks, but keep in mind, they are 301 redirects, so you lose a bit of link juice when search engines step through them.

                                                          If you chose to do this, you'll also want to tag the URLs before you shortlink them, otherwise your Google Analytics reporting will show all that traffic as Direct/(none) in the Channel report.

                                                            What IP Address does Googlebot use to read your site when coming from an external backlink?

                                                            Hi All, I'm trying to find more information on what IP address Googlebot would use when arriving to crawl your site from an external backlink. I'm under the impression Googlebot uses international signals to determine the best IP address to use when crawling (US / non-US) and then carries on with that IP when it arrives to your website? E.g. - Googlebot finds www.example.co.uk. Due to the ccTLD, it decides to crawl the site with a UK IP address rather than a US one. As it crawls this UK site, it finds a subdirectory backlink to your website and continues to crawl your website with the aforementioned UK IP address. Is this a correct assumption, or does Googlebot look at altering the IP address as it enters a backlink / new domain? Also, are ccTLDs the main signals to determine the possibility of Google switching to an international IP address to crawl, rather than the standard US one? Am I right in saying that hreflang tags don't apply here at all, as their purpose is to be used in SERPS and helping Google to determine which page to serve to users based on their IP etc. If anyone has any insight this would be great.

                                                            Thought FRED penalty - Now see new spammy image backlinks what to do?

                                                            Hi, So starting about March 9 I started seeing huge losses in ranking for a client. These rankings continue to drop every week since and we changed nothing on the site. At first I thought it must be the FRED update, so we have started rewriting and adding product descriptions to our pages (which is a good thing regardless). I also checked our backlink profile using OSE on MOZ and still saw the few linking root domains we had. Another Odd thing on this is that webmasters tools showed many more domains. So today I bought a subscriptions to ahrefs and instantly saw that on the same timeline (starting March 1 2017) until now, we have literally doubled in inbound links from very spammy type sites. BUT the incoming links are not to content, people seem to be ripping off our images. So my question is, do spammy inbound image links count against us the same as if someone linked actual written content or non image urls? Is FRED something I should still be looking into? Should i disavow a list of inbound image links? Thanks in advance!

                                                            Hi Ya'll I'm looking for a company or independent who can transition our website from http to https.  I want to make sure they know what they're doing with a Wordpress website.  More importantly, i want to make sure they don't break any seo juice from external sources while internally nothing gets broken. Anyone have any good recommendations?  You can reply back or DM me. Best, Shawn

                                                            Now that Google will be indexing Twitter, are Twitter backlinks likely to effect website rank in the SERPs?

                                                            About a year (or 2) ago, Matt Cutts said that Twitter and FB have no effect on website rank, in part because Google can't get to the content. Now that Google will be indexing Twitter (again), do we expect that links in twitter posts will be useful backlinks for improving SERP rank?

                                                            Are these good backlinks?

                                                            I am trying to understand how to build good backlinks. I've read or been told that anchor text is bad (understood), websites with unrelated subjects is bad (understood), paid-for links are bad (?), "submitted" and article to get the link is bad (?), or it is a link/farm directory are bad (?).  This is actually really confusing to me!  Please bear with my silly questions, I am an engineer with an MBA, stay-at-home/homeschooling mom that helps run my husbands business.  My brain gets full fast!  Ha! I thought maybe if I post some of the links we have built, someone could look at them and tell me if they are good or bad.  This way I can go forward understanding better. Articles... I thought that writing articles was a GOOD thing!  Now I see that submitting articles isn't? So what about these two articles where my husband, as an expert in his field, wrote an article for a popular mag/blog. http://coastalanglermag.com/red-snapper-season/ (they did the hyperlink wrong and I am trying to get the publisher to fix it) http://www.bdoutdoors.com/article/shark-encounter-capt.-gregg-rapp/ (this is a pretty funny story if you read it) Blog stories... what about when someone copies your blog post as a story on their website?  Or someone scrapes your content? http://jeremyrymill.tumblr.com/ http://www.bdoutdoors.com/article/heart-pressure/ http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/showthread.php?t=2627767&p=3294972 (we post fishing reports and they get copied) Un-related Directories... http://www.mobileresources.net/mobi/Glowing_Deep_Sea_Fish/ (I didn't create this!!! I guess they just crawl and link?) Related "farm" Directories http://www.sportsmansresource.com/ffishtarpon.htm Other directories/citations such as yellow pages, city search, etc. These are okay right? Local hotels and what not... concierge's link to me, I don't even ask them to http://laquintacocoabeach.com/things-to-do/index.cfm Paid - I pay for MOZ Local!  Isn't that paying??? AND, I paid for a whois listing on enom... is that bad too? NOW FOR THE BAD.... these are bad right? http://darman.niniyoo.com/Sea-Leveler-Sport-Fishing-Charters-Inc-FL.html (I have no idea how this got there) http://teensnow.comwww.whoisbusinesslistings.com/Other/10/23490/Sea-Leveler-Sport-Fishing-Charters.html (what the heck is this??? how can they even append a website on a website?) http://forums.gq.com.au/member.php?u=1813973 (I think this was created on my behalf by my part-time SEO) If you have read all the way down to here, my sincerest thanks!  Thank you for your time!

                                                            Hello... One of my sites is losing rankings in G. I received the webmaster notification of unnatural links... My question is, should i do a 301 redirect of every page on my site to a new domain? If so, do the backlinks (which i believe are causing my rankings to drop) carry over? How about the good backlinks? Also, what would happen to the rankings i currently have on page 1? Thanks

                                                            Tread of backlinks after 301

                                                            After 301-ing a domain to a new domain, how should we tread the changing of the backlinks to the old domain? We might be able to have a certain amount changed rather quickly. Should we consider the new domain as a "new" domain, and in this sense, not have them changed quickly, (afraid to trip any filter) Or wil Google see the new domain (after indexing) with the authority of the old domain, so , if the backlinks are direct or coming through a 301 will make no difference? Hope my question is clear and excuses for my english 😛 Thanks for reading and hoping for input,
