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.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
