Is this a good or bad backlink?

I could really use your help. I am going to be careful with posting certain links because I don't want to be banned from the only forum I have ever liked.

I have a website (duh) and I posted an article yesterday. Today when I logged, in I checked my Disqus comment dashboard and I have a comment which is basically the text copied and pasted from my article with a link to an internal page on http://www.scoop.it/.

The internal page is basically my entire article - with a backlink to my page. So I am not really upset about the plagiarism because I am getting credit.

I have never heard of http://www.scoop.it/ (I am not really a newbie but in the social networking world I guess I am) but it seems they have decent stats according to Alexa. So I am assuming the backlink is good. Could someone give me a pointer or two?

Do I ask that it be removed from their site? Or do I jump for joy that somebody "scooped it".

Thanks!

 

You can exclude that link yourself in webmaster tools, but this is the kind of organic link that you want in general. Regardless if they're quality or not, unless it's really spammy and someone is doing neg-seo then I would keep any and every organic backlink you get.

 

Scoop it links are designated no-follow anyway, so there's no negative impact on you. But it should be a good link for traffic!

 

This happens all the time and usually is a good thing, you should be seeing some traffic from them.

 

Google is aware of this kind of method and it doesn't pass so it didn't affect in terms of SEO but it will be considered as a signal when it comes to search engine.

 

Backlinks generally read by google and if this not according to google they can ban your websites. So beware of taking backlinks.
