Tiny URLs as backlinks?

Not sure how to title this? Not sure if this subject has been beaten to death... although I can find little about it on the sub.

Anyway, I've been scanning competitor links with UbberSuggest and aHREF and notice tiny url links come up as legit back links. I try to scan those tiny urls to see other pages that link those specific links and see nothing. I'm assuming the bots are just scanning the profile pages which lists generated tiny urls by a specific user.

Are these legit backlinks? They seem like an effortless link but the linking reports show a 90+ domain authority with these links, 50+ page authority. I would assume if somebody created these links and plastered them across the internet, I would spot them somewhere but I don't. I see no effort made at all, just generated tiny urls that UbberSuggest and others see as valuable link.

Is creating a tiny url a simple way to gain a backlink? I'm just asking. Not even suggesting it's a good SEO practice but I'm amazed and curious.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
