SEO penalty for developer URLs in content unrelated client sites
- SEO |
Hello warriors,
First post on here, and I really look forward to getting to know you all and also sharing my expertise (which is not in SEO btw, I am a developer
) where I can.
So I have a question to pose to you SEO experts regarding the age old tradition putting a 'Website By X' backlink to your developer/designer domain in the footer of client websites. I know the google alg is now penalising backlinks from unrelated content more heavily, and I am concerned it will affect my business domain. For instance my domain hxxp://sourcey.com has around 1800+ backlinks but still only has a PR of 2. Many of those backlinks come from my client sites which range from textiles to travel (some have PR of 4 or 5).
Is my domain being penalised for this, or does anyone have any experience/advice on this matter?
Thanks
