2 links from 1 website -> 2 domains 1 hosting
-
Hello Guys,
I have a little question, i got 2 websites that are hosted on the same host.
Now i could get 2 links on one website to direct to each of the websites on the same host.
Does this effect my seo ranking, because the websites are on the same host?
Thank you for your advice!
Kind regards,

Glad I could help and give you something to think about - I would definitely think about 301 redirecting one site to the other site and push forward with building one great information resource for customers new and old..

I think you are right, in the past i bought the other website from a competitor.
Maybe it is a idea in the future to redirect one website to another and then move all content to one website.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Really appreciate it!

No problem - can I ask why you have two separate sites not just one? The reason I ask is that if they are about the same thing then I would consider joining them together into one information resource as this will save on time in terms of admin work and it will also mean that your link profile and therefore domain authority is likely to higher and hence better rankings. The reason I say it will be better is because there will be links that one site gains and the other doesn't, but by joining them together they will both benefit from every link gained. Having two sites in a situation where they could just be one site will only dilute everything in my opinion. Just a suggestion...

Thank you very much for your fast reply to my question.
The websites are not linking to eachother, however they're content uses content that is about the same thing. The difference is like plasma television and lcd television.
I think i could better get a new host than risking to get punished by google right?

I don't see there being an issue if you are getting links to both of your sites from an independent site even if it is linking to your two sites that are on the same host. I have experienced similar without an issue. I take it that both your sites have different content and you have not tried to hide their relationship from Google? I also take it that you have linked the two but don't have excessive links pointing between them?
Going forward I would make sure that both sites have varied natural link profiles - I see there being a issue if you have two sites on the same host with almost identical link profiles with similar or the same anchor text...
If they are both in the same or similar niche and serving different purposes it is only natural that they will have some links that come from the same source.

Linking Domain vs Domain authority : Do they related!!!? (Case study)
Hi everyone
Link Building | | serikozay
I just came across a website which I'm working on. As we know DA & PA directly related to each other. I'm building organic links through last year and the result is so odd !
As you see in Pic 1, number of linking domains is naturally increasing. But in Pic 2 DA gets negative impact through this process and decreases!
How are they related anyway? Can anyone helps?

Do No follow links from social media platforms transfer authority or value when they link to third party websites?
With social media playing a bigger role in SEO (since the Panda, Penguin updates etc) and how search engines rank sites now, does anybody know why Twitter for instance has 'no follow' when I check my client's websites under 'inbound links' on Open Site Explorer?

9306 inbound links but onle 143 root domains?
I need help with my link building efforts so I have started to search around for companies and/or freelance contractors to hire. I always ask for examples of sites they are working on. In many cases the number of inbound links are high (9306) compared to the number of root domains that are linked to (143). Or as in this sample (120792) inbound links compared to (157) linking domains http://www.shortsalesafe.com. How can this be? To me the only logical answer is "link farms" or some other form of black hat magic. Am I right in my assumption, or is there another logical answer for so many links with so few linking domains.? Thanks Gary

I have a client that bought a link for his site on a non related site with the anchor text for main KW. That site brought over 1 million links to my client's site. Now what should i do? Should i let the link there? Or should i remove it? The age of the link is more than 1 year, and the link is placed in top menu, under the header.
