Need assistance with website placement
-
Hi,
If a website xyz.com is placed under the top right navigation of a blog abc.com which are closely relevant to each other, will it do any harm to the website in Google search?
Now since the website is placed under right navigation, it is visible on every page of the blog, does it matter even though they are closely relevant?Note: The other external links that are on the blog are also relevant to each other.
Thank You,

Thanks for your answer.
Yes, its possible when I am the owner of the blog.
But having my website placed on some other blogs blogroll which is recurring shouldn't harm my website until the following points that you have addressed.
"But if the area on the page is titled: sponsored, advertising, etc, google will know the link is paid for and if it's not nofollowed it could be a problem.
Is the link paid for? If yes, be careful. Also review the other links around it, if it's surrounded by other external links that aren't relevant be careful."
Thank you, you addressed some valuable points.
Regards,
Susan Smith

You make it appear on just one page, it just requires some coding.

Hi Tom,
I appreciate your answer.
As you said you would wary of having the website appear on every single page of the blog. However, the right navigation of most of the blogs are repetitive on every internal pages. Therefore, we can't have a website placed under right navigation of some blog and limit the pages it would appear on.
I wonder, I have known some reputed blogs who have external links (Those external links have a good reputation too.) placed under right navigation which recur on every page of their blog, thus appearing on hundreds and thousands of their pages.
Thank You,
Susan Smith

It sounds like a blogroll link, so it shouldn't harm the sites.
But if the area on the page is titled: sponsored, advertising, etc, google will know the link is paid for and if it's not nofollowed it could be a problem.
Is the link paid for? If yes, be careful. Also review the other links around it, if it's surrounded by other external links that aren't relevant be careful.

Hey there
You will probably be interested in watching this very recent video by Matt Cutts, which talks about this very issue. Watch the video here.
If not overdone, it shouldn't be a problem. And the placement of the link on the page shouldn't matter either. I might be a bit wary of having it on every single page (if you have hundreds or thousands of pages), but for top navigation pages I think it would be OK.
Hope this helps.

Consolidating many external blogs onto main website: canonicals or 301s
Hi Everyone, Presently I have many blogs across a range of domains, each one targeting the client/type of user interested in that product (or service in this case). I originally set up this strategy to use the content of each blog to create a "link juice farm" (our products are educational courses so have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT target market depending on the course area), which in turn links to the related page/course on our main site. My plan is to move all the content from those external blogs into subcategories on my main website blog in order to increase its traffic, authority etc. Originally, I was going to cut and paste the content, then put in appropriate 301 redirects from the external blogs to the main site. However, I then thought about copying all the content to my main site, setting it as the canonical version, and leaving all the external blogs intact and running. The idea being, I still get the benefit of all those external links pointing back at my main website. Which would be the better strategy for me to pursue? Thanks in advance for your insights, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out with this question.

One website with different niches/keywords.
Hello Mozzers! I am currently building a website, which basically contains information from different niches. Let's make it clear: My website is something like eHow. The idea is to write quality articles, written especially to give the searcher the right information, without any scam, product advertisement or etc. The incomes are from AdSense. Actually I got inspired for this website from the Google Panda update. So... my question is - would it be harder to rank with such a website(domain name) that contains different niches and keyword phrases? Lets change a lil bit the situation and show you an example - I am trying to rank with keyword "how to make nice cheezeburgers" with http://theanswer.org/how-to-make-nice-cheezeburgers/ . At the same time I am also trying to rank with "The best movies of all times" with http://theanswer.org/the-best-movies-of-all-times/ . Thank you, Ralchev 🙂

Is posting our original articles on competitor websites with a linkback beneficial?
We are receiving requests to repost our articles in full on competitor websites. Our competitors have expressed they are fine with linking back to our homepage, and the original source page. Would this benefit us, or do more harm than good?
