I currently maintain the website of my church. A few days ago I noticed an unusual spike in traffic. Digging deeper into the statistics revealed that there are a bunch of Japanese websites referring to our page.
The first one I looked up was a blog for some sort of hotel reviews. Really weird. But then I noticed that the domain they link to is a short domain I've just bought a few weeks ago for a URL shortening service. (So it redirects to our site)
Another website that caused traffic was a Japanese porn site (I guess, didn't really want to investigate after reading the age notice)
Now I was curious. In what context has this domain been used before? It turns out that the domain has over 400 Backlinks from websites which promote escort services. Most of them in the context of that hotel which has a night club where they often meet.
Despite the fact that I find this hilarious, I'm actually worried that this will affect our site negatively.
Having Backlinks from porn sites doesn't sound good to me. I wanna learn more about domain authority. Can someone help me out here?
TL;DR:
Bought a domain with Backlinks from adult content pages. How will this affect my website?
