Simple Link Question
-
Hi Guys,
I will appreciate if you answer 1 small question.....
Will our site benefit from that link?
Valuable website related to our business ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on second site) ---link to our site --->Kind Regards,
webdeal -
+1 to what Doug said. A nofollow link can still drive a lot of value in the form of traffic. Looking for additional ways to turn that page into a linkable resource would probably be the best use of your time, rather than trying to figure out which specific links will have the most benefit.
-
Are there any opportunities here? Why does the valuable website link to the PDF doc? Can you provide a better (quality), more accessible (html) page that they'd link to instead of the PDF? Can you provide other content around the same topic that they'd be interested in? Do they ever use followed links in their content?
At the end of the day, it's still a nofollow link so the benefit will be minimal/insignificant unless you get direct referral traffic via that link,

All i meant..... better to have a link like
Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite
rather then...
Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> To mysite
Tell me if i am wrong...
-
What do you mean by "look much stronger."
Page rank domain trust will not change with a no follow

Hi Saijo,
based on your answer...
Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite
will look much stronger....Correct?
Thank you

Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> Your Site
Assuming Site 1 is a high profile site the PDF will get some benefit out of that nofollow link and the link from the pdf will help your site. So in theory there is some small amount of indirect SEO value to be had there.

You will not get any thing from the link "link Juice is the common term"
Hope that helps,
Tom

Links
Hi 64% of our links come from a .com website and only 30% from .co.uk. We only do business in the UK should I continue with the .com links as they are easier to source. Does this hurt my SEO efforts?

Site wide links - should they be nofollow or followed links
Hi We have a retail site and a blog that goes along with the site. The blog is very popular and the MD wanted a link from the blog back to the main retail site. However as this is a site wide link on the blog, am I right in thinking this really should be no follow link. The link is at the top of every page. Thanks in advance for any help

Linking Across Subdomains - Any Concerns?
I use two subdomains on my website (news.webhostinghero.com and www.webhostinghero.com) - I know www.webhostinghero.com is not really a subdomain... That said, both subdomains are linking to each other through menus and sometimes articles. Can this cause any problem? Does Google perceive this as links from different domains / websites?

Question about multiple websites in same field
I know what most people say that it is best to only have the 1 website for focus but if we can put this to the back of our minds, if we create 2 different websites that are totally different designs (one upmarket one and one targeting the cheaper market) but in the same fields (printing) and go after 80% of the same keywords is this ok (could we be penalized). Please note we will not be interlinking the websites, the website .will be on different servers and the names will be registered under different people (2 partners in the business). We will however be accessing webmaster tools from the same location.
