    Links to parked domains

    I have recently set up a wordpress blog for someone of coarse in hopes of raising their page authority and such.
    I started getting hits right away, but when I check their domains, they just go to parked sites.
    Now I'm guessing it is someone or some people who are building links in order to sell these domains for a decent amount of money.
    I have nothing against that one way or the other, but my questions is:
    Does it hurt you link value allowing these parked domains to link to you?
    I would really like to know because I had never really thought about this before and don't have a clue.
    Thank
    Dan

    Whats happening is Spammers have that blog on their radar, if you let it continue that blog will be worthless for the intent in which you created it for. Don't let them do that. Why would that blog be of any importance if the links go to parked domains? or to any type of spammy site. Personally I wouldn't allow out bound links unless the content was very high quality. With that said...people who have the ability to blog high quality content generally don't spam blogs..they don't need to. If ya know what I mean.

    Yeah, that makes sense.
    I know if you were to buy a domain and attach a lot of links to it, it would be wirth more money when sold. I realize that everyone has to try and make a living, and I don't want to be harsh to anyone for that either.
    Oddly most if not all of the comments are not from the USA, that's why I thought it might even be the same person using different email addresses.
    I have denied/trashed them all, I just started to fell a bit guilty.

    Thanks for the advice!
    Points well taken.
