How do Chinese backlinks affect SEO?

Fairly soon I will be starting a new eCommerce store. I've been reading up on expired domains and their supposed benefits and drawbacks for some time now. From what I understand, if you find an expired domain with a decent DR and good quality backlinks it can give you a slight edge in terms of SEO. I'm not stating it as fact, but rather what I've come across in my research (as I know there's a lot of contradicting info out there regarding SEO).

I'm using Expired Domains (.net) to see what's out there. Most of the decent-looking domains I find have a crapload of Chinese backlinks. I've read that these can have a negative effect on SEO. In addition to this, there are a few small pieces of information that I'd like clarity on.

  1. How do Chinese backlinks affect a domain?
  2. What metric do you focus on when looking for expired domains? And, why?
  3. Is there a minimum DR that I should look out for? And, why or why not?
  4. What has your experience been like with buying and using expired domains?

So far I've been using filters to display expired .com domains, but I'm only slightly familiar with some of the metrics that are used. Most of the time I'm filtering by BL or DP.

Whether you answer just one or all of the questions, your advice is greatly appreciated. Everything about SEO really interests me so I want to learn as much as I can.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
