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.

Does Website Design Matter?
I've got a new site officially launching next month (just waiting on a few inner page designs to be finished up). But if I'm looking to get a head start on backlinks, would it be okay to start publishing content now on one of the default WordPress themes? And then start publishing guest posts immediately to get backlinks? Or would Google look at the site as not being unique?

Linking between your own websites- yay or nay?
Hi Guys I have 4 different niche websites in the healthcare area and wondering is it a safe strategy to link between them? I'm not sure if this is frowned upon by the search engines. I have heard the term 'link wheel', but I'm not sure if this is what a link wheel would be. I do have 2 sites that are much more important than the other 2. One is a directory of practitioners and the other is my main site of my healthcare business. The 2 other websites are smaller niche markets that I also service. My directory was previously hurt by the Penguin update because I was using Linkvana and blog networks and the anchor text was too specific. I have discontinued using any blog networks or 'quick link' strategies. I'm now implementing a guest posting strategy on reputable websites. I want to do everything buy the book now and thought I should check before any new linking strategy. Thanks in advance! Clinton

Links - In need of ideas
Hi there! I have tried my best to get quality back links to my http://www.petmedicalcenter.com site but I feel like I have hit a wall. I have searched my competition to see what links they are getting and have been successful with some. Some websites just don't respond. Are there any valuable resources I am missing? Or ideas? My biggest concern is ranking well for the search term "vet las vegas" and "las vegas veterinarians". So far I have managed to get to the second page on Google. Thanks in advance for your help!
