Linking strategy between my websites
-
Dear all,
I am quite new in SEO and I am very confused about linking strategy.
I have several websites proposing proofreading services in French and I don't know how to link them together so they get the best chance to have a good ranking.
What strategy would you suggest ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Yafiz

Thanks Joel and Richard for your answers.
You make me wondering whether my strategy is good.
Here is the strategy : I have a website about proofreading service in wordpress. I have other domains whose name are my critical keywords. I was planning to copy/paste my main website on the secondary sites and obviously to change the content to avoid duplicate content (but wordpress template and design will be exactly the same on all the sites).
Once this is done I was planning to link the websites together.
Is there any risk of being classified ''black hat'' by Google ?
Thanks a lot,
Dan

I would be careful. When you say "multiple websites" a few alarms go off in my head. You definitely don't want to get in trouble with duplicate content.
Also with multiple websites you might have a content issue. Why don't you put all of that content in one place and condense everything to one website.

Ok well i will start by telling you that make sure that the sites are not the same code, just a different domain. Google looks for that and its considered "Black Hating". But say they are different it will all depend on the page rank of each site. Too get the best results use multiple links (IE: I build websites for my customers and when i do i put my site link at the bottom, but within my site i also link back to them.) This is were it gets tricky to get the most for the link say I build a roofing website for someone. My SEO company has nothing to do with roofing, but i do websites so i would build a page that give some info on the clients site. Like what they had in mind when we built it and so on.
But linking from one to other will not do much if your just put a link on the page, make sure the link is relevant to the page its linking too. Also i would put them within a blog or content.

Link Building
I'm having difficulty creating a solid link base. I would prefer to only have links that are on relevant sites that are likely to drive traffic rather then just adding my company page to site directories. I've checked out the whiteboard Friday edition of link building and have also used the new Moz analytics that helps recommend sites to link to, but all the recommendations were directories. So, could anyone hold my hand and guide me through the world of Link building? Your help, as always, is much appreciated. Thanks everyone Dave

Each of the products have a page along with major keyword. Actually, i do link from other pages[internally]. Meaning,if i see any main keywords in different page then will link that to corresponding page/product[internally].This is what i am doing to get page rank. Now, my doubt.

Guest blogging, guest blogging, guest blogging. Since I started my career as a "brand manager" I've heard the term "guest blogging" at least a million times. So I've put a fair amount of energy into it and for a long time it worked beautifully, still is in many ways. However, in the last month or two nearly every blog I have contacted about guest blogging has said that "due to an increase in guest blogging request we are now charging a fee of x" so on and so forth. Doesn't paying for links put you at great risk for being deindexed? And can't bloggers get in trouble for this as well? Do they not know, not care or think it doesn't apply to them? And if it's a sponsored post, say I send them $100 of free product and pay them $100 to do it, isn't that just hiring someone to talk about my brand? Why would google punish me for that? Anyway around it? Thank you so much! I look forward to your suggestions/advice/criticism.

I noticed another SEO builds backlinks (tons) on a social media profile that then has a link to his client's site. Another site he builds backlinks are a bitly account that 301's to the clients account. Why would you do this? Is it that you can build links indiscriminately to build a page up in PR to 3-4-5 PR, then pass that higher PR to your site (safe). Is that PR building method better than placing 100's of smaller PR links on your site? It seems logical that if you passed in a tremendous amount of juice to juice a site up to PR4, you won't make your main site PR4 by JUST that link. You would need to build a lot of PR4 sites to make your site PR4. Why not just put all the backlinks on the main page instead of building up secondary social profiles etc... Please reveal this secret. I know a lot of SEOs are using this method. Help 🙂

Looking at Page Authority of a link to our website... what Page Authority number should we use in deciding the link is junk?
What are the Page Authority ranges? 1. Excellent link 2. Moderate 3. Total junk link Of course you look at the anchor text you can use, how many links are on the site, how often it is cached. Thoughts?

Many competitor's backlinks are in content anchor links. Ho do I get these same links?
Hi I managed to open up OSE. I'm finding that much of the competition's backlinks are in content anchor text links. Am I supposed to get backlinks from these same pages using the same anchor text but linking back to my page or is that allowed? If so, how do I get these in content blog post links? Thanks. Sunil.
