ubup.com Backlink & Guest Post Analysis

What ubup.com is now

ubup.com was the address of a well-known German online shop for secondhand clothing. Today the domain does not serve any page of its own: every request returns a permanent redirect to momox fashion, the brand the shop now trades under. The destination blocked automated visits when we checked, so its current content is not confirmed, but the redirect itself is clear. The domain was registered in August 2004 through InterNetX and renews into 2027.

For a link buyer, that settles most questions. A domain that forwards everything elsewhere has no articles, no categories and no place for an outbound link.

Why ubup.com still shows authority

Moz DA 36 and Ahrefs DR 30 come from the links the shop earned while it was active, and Moz still records an unusually large raw backlink count, likely inflated by sitewide or product links from marketplaces and partners. DA rose into the low forties a while back and has eased into the mid thirties since, which is what happens when a brand moves and the old address stops earning new links. The Moz Spam Score of 11% is moderately high. Organic visibility on the old domain is now minimal, since search engines show the new brand instead.

None of this authority is something you can rent. Our SEO metrics explainer covers why redirected domains keep scores long after they stop being websites.

Can ubup.com give you a backlink?

No. ubup.com cannot host a guest post, a link insertion or a shared link, because there is nothing behind the redirect. If someone sells a placement “on ubup.com”, the article would either sit on a different domain entirely or not exist. That is a familiar trick with expired or rebranded domains, and our guide on how to evaluate a website before buying a backlink explains how to catch it by loading the URL yourself.

Risks tied to ubup.com

The obvious risk is paying for nothing. A subtler one is mistaking the legacy numbers for a live opportunity. If a seller claims to have bought the domain and rebuilt it, the redirect we saw says otherwise, and repurposing a brand’s old domain to sell links would itself clash with Google’s link spam policies. Anyone interested in the resale brand should assess momoxfashion.com as its own site, using our methodology rather than ubup.com history.

Legacy numbers versus reality on ubup.com

The contrast between backlinks and visibility tells the whole story. Moz still attributes 939195 backlinks to 608 referring domains, yet organic traffic has shrunk to 242 visits across just 6 keywords. A backlink total that dwarfs the referring domain count usually comes from sitewide product feeds, marketplace widgets or affiliate templates repeating the same link on thousands of pages, and those links now pass through the redirect rather than supporting any content on the old address. Moz DA 36 and Ahrefs DR 30 are therefore historical echoes. The Spam Score of 11 adds a further reason not to treat this profile as a clean asset, and the long domain age since 2004 matters little when nothing is served from it.

For anyone pricing a placement, the honest value of a link “on ubup.com” is zero, because there is no page to carry it.

Who should look at alternatives to ubup.com

Secondhand fashion, sustainability and European ecommerce brands that wanted exposure through this name should look at publishers covering resale and circular fashion instead. Ask any seller mentioning this domain for the exact live URL where the article would appear, then load it yourself and check whether it resolves to the redirect. Our lifestyle category and full sites directory list live publishers where a contributed article can actually exist and be checked.

What ubup.com used to publish and sell

During its active years, ubup.com operated as a large online store for used women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, accepting garments from sellers, grading them and listing each piece individually. That model produced enormous numbers of product pages, and partner sites, price comparison portals and fashion bloggers linked to those listings and to the shop’s home page. This history explains the sheer volume of legacy backlinks and also why so many of them are duplicated across templates. The domain never ran a guest blog or sponsored content section that we could find evidence of; its value always lay in commerce rather than publishing.

The link profile behind ubup.com today

Moz records 114 nofollow root domains, a sizeable share that is typical of coupon sites, forums and social shares, and 53 lost root domains, showing that the profile is slowly decaying now that the brand has moved. The homepage alone still attracts 768 backlinks, while the root domain total reaches 2608 on a separate count, both far below the headline Moz figure. Because every request is forwarded, none of these links point to a page that can host your content. What remains is a consolidation of authority into the successor brand, which is the redirect’s purpose.

How to check claims about ubup.com step by step

1. Type the domain into a browser and watch the address bar change to the new brand.
2. Ask any seller for the exact article URL they propose and load it yourself.
3. Check whether that URL returns a page or forwards like every other path.
4. If a seller says they own the domain, ask for proof such as a temporary change to the redirect, which a genuine owner could make.
5. Report any listing that sells “ubup.com guest posts” to the marketplace hosting it.

Red flags specific to this domain include screenshots of articles without a live URL, price lists that quote the legacy backlink total, and promises of do-follow links from a domain that serves no pages.

ubup.com compared with other resale and fashion sites

Live resale marketplaces and circular fashion magazines in our lifestyle category offer what ubup.com cannot: published pages, current readers and editors who can approve a contribution. Compared with other rebranded retail domains, ubup.com is a textbook case where the authority is real but non-transferable. If secondhand fashion is your niche, judge the successor brand on its own merits and spend link budgets on publishers that can show you a live article.
