Garbage/Spam Links to my site..
..Low and behold, there are 12 sites linking to it. I check it out, and it appears it was owned by someone back in 2011 who attempted to spam their link on various sites and blogs.
I checked a lot of these sites and they have really poor reputation as well. A few of them are indian websites (which are a joke %90 of the time), and from various countries, and just look like crap.
I'm starting to worry that this might hurt me later on. I realize this is just alexa.. but wondering if google has a history report of this domain and has already considered it as "spam".
I just don't want the previous owner to slam my reputation, because I plan to grow this domain the right way and profit from it, the white hat way.
I just added the website to my webmaster tools as well. Is that enough to tell me what to fix?
What do you guys think? Am I trippin' over nothing?
But I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. "
