Hey Guys We all know that relevancy largely trumps DA nowadays. What I am wondering is if there is a DA 'level' at which relevancy doesn't really matter - you probably still want a backlink from that site... For example, sites with DA of 100 we probably want backlinks from. So where do you draw the line? What I mean is for a high DA 'non relevant' site, what DA is 'acceptable' where you start to disregard relevancy? I'm thinking something like 70 and above would like some other thoughts... Obviously you would still be building relevant links too, developing content to do so and all that good stuff. I am just wondering what DA I should focus on for building non-relevant links ALONGSIDE relevant links
There is no doubt that Google hates low quality and non-relevant backlinks. After knowing it, if you are making non-relevant links for your website, it means you are deceiving yourself. Some high-quality, relevant backlinks can give you big victory in SEO world, so try to generate quality links instead of non-relevant links.
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I dont think it adds much to the discussion - I had tried to carefully word my post to avoid this kind of response. Of couse we should be building relevant links. But there are also high DA non-relevant links worth getting. You could choose to ignore 100% of these but most people would agree that's a very flawed strategy. Eg. Of course you set up a Facebook page for any business you run. This isnt a relevant link but at 100 DA (and free) you'd be silly not to. My question is at what DA do you draw the line?
Hi, @Cedricmarkwatson you say that we make only high quality link but we should use blog commenting link it is not good but why is quality backlink. tell me plz
@GTAMP Good Question dear, i am also asked to @Cedricmarkwatson that if we take backlink high-quality site or blogs comment post. its effective or our site or not....
@GTAMP, @Kulwant Singh If you are building 100% to 70% non-relevant links, then it could be harmful to your website. But in other hands, if you are building 80% relevant backlinks and 20% non-relevant links on high domain authority sites, then your website is totally safe. For an example: If you are submitting comment posting on non-relevant blogs, then try to build on high-quality blogs and its ratio should be less. Don't try to build 100% non-relevant comment links.
I'm all about quality and relevancy, I am not into numbers. So I give importance more on how relevant a site is for me and not how much DA it has.
80-20% sounds like a good rule - as long as the 20% are high DA. I might even stretch it 70-30%, it probably depends on the niche... For the 20% of non-relevant links, do you have a minimum DA you use? For example, you won't bother if the DA is below 50...? Each to their own but I don't think you can completely ignore numbers in SEO. People with analytical capability who do use numbers can and have done very well in SEO! And I do think you factor in DA, even if you don't look at the number. I'll use again the example I mentioned above: almost everyone working in SEO would suggest a Facebook page for their client. This is 100% a non-relevant link (unless your client is a social media website) but one you would take everytime - the DA of Facebook is close to 100 btw...
