Hey all, I’ve been posting about my SaaS (link included) on otehr Reddit communities from time to time and recently noticed something off in my backlink profile.

I’ve started seeing a lot of random, low‑quality backlinks pointing to my site from 0‑DA / obvious spam domains (blog networks, auto‑generated niche sites, etc.). These links don’t look natural at all and seem unrelated to the kind of coverage I’d expect for a domain intelligence focused product.

What’s interesting is that I’ve shared several of my other domains on Reddit across different communities in the past, and this is the first time I’m seeing this kind of spammy backlink pattern. With those other domains I never got hit with waves of weird, low‑quality links so it is all new to me.

I’m curious if anyone else building a SaaS has noticed something similar:

• Have you seen a sudden spike in spammy backlinks after sharing your product/domains on Reddit or elsewhere?
• Are you ignoring them? Is there something you can do? Do they hurt your domain in any way?

Would like to hear if this is a broader thing or is it just me..

Hi everyone,

I run an online service, but it’s not really tied to a specific city, region, or service area.

I’m trying to understand whether there are any cases where it still makes sense to pursue local SEO for a business like this, or if the effort is usually wasted unless you’re genuinely geo-targeted.

For example, would local SEO ever be useful if:

• the service is delivered remotely
• the audience is national or global
• there’s no physical storefront or local service area
• but there may still be some trust or authority benefit from local signals?

I’d be interested in hearing from people who’ve seen this work in practice, if any. If there are edge cases where local SEO still helps an online-first business, what are they?

Hey all,
I’m pretty new to SEO and running into something a bit weird with my site (primitive.host) and wanted to see if anyone here has dealt with this before.

In Google Search Console I’m seeing a bunch of pages under:
"Discovered – currently not indexed".

From what I can tell, Google has found these URLs (probably via sitemap), but just… isn’t indexing them. Some of them have been sitting like that for a while now (10+ days).

There’s no obvious noindex tags, robots.txt looks fine (I think), pages load fast, and the content seems fine to me (could definitely be improved though, its on my immediate plans). Internal linking seems decent too, not orphan pages.

So I’m trying to understand what usually causes this in practice. Is this a crawl budget thing? Domain trust since it’s a newer site (although domain is not)? Content signals? Or is this just a “wait longer” situation?

Would really appreciate any insight from people who’ve run into this before 🙏

I have been scrolling on threads the past weeks and have stumbled upon alot of tech content which gets likes comments and shares.

Do you think its worth using the platform to promote a tech startup service there? I do think I have alot of interesting insights to share based on the platforms dataset
