I hate to say it, but if you're looking at Semrush or ahrefs for link data, those aren't going to be the best sources. Try Majestic or Link Research Tools. In

I hate to say it, but if you're looking at Semrush or ahrefs for link data, those aren't going to be the best sources. Try Majestic or Link Research Tools. In regards to "keyword heavy domains and keyword heavy content with all links pointing to their site", the search engines tend to favor on-topic content links, especially if those domains have trust and authority. I wouldn't necessarily call that a "black hat" strategy.
