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.

Value of Links? What is each link worth?
Morning Everyone, I just had this thought and wondered what everyone's opinions were in terms of link value in monetary terms. We'll assume for the purposes of this that the links come from contextually relevant sites and that the sites in question have got the Moz DA from being high quality and have a good quality incoming link profile. Its a bit of a theoretical question, but i guess imagine if the only way you could get links was to pay for them, what would they be worth to you. This is link value for SEO purposes, they will have in addition value from traffic from good sites, that no doubt varies wildly depending on topic. I assume everyone also agrees on: The first link from a domain is the most valuable High DA sites are worth more than low ones. So could anyone who has an opinion on the link value suggest a monetary value for links. Its really just using a monetary amount to see how best to target my time. Here is my example of what might be expected, but I am hoping people with more knowledge will perhaps correct it. DA Rating First Link 2nd-5th Link 5th-10th Link 10Plus Links 5 $5 $2 $1 $0 15 $7 $3 $2 $1 25 $25 $10 $5 $2 35 $45 $20 $7 $3 45 $65 $30 $11 $4 55 $95 $45 $19 $5 65 $200 $100 $45 $6 75 $350 $120 $65 $9 85 $700 $240 $95 $15 95 $1100 $450 $200 $30

I own an e-commerce store and I am get started with my SEO strategy. I know content is extremely important when it comes to link building, however for an e-commerce store what can I do as far as content. So far my only idea is blog posts.

Linking to a pdf
Hi All I have a pdf that people can download from my site, what I want to know is that when people link to the pdf does the pdf share link power to pages linked to from within the pdf (like a html page would) or is the link power being waisted going to the pdf and should I somehow get the links to a normal page? The pdf is a free downloadable resource to people in the party planning industry and so gets linked to quite a bit by sites telling their readers to get the information we provide. Thanks for your thoughts Sean

Link Targets
What do you think of getting links from... high quality sites, with many non spammy high trusted links to them....but their traffic has been majorly hit by panda. I suspect perhaps for having too many thin pages. Is persuing links on these sites a good idea or not? I'd welcome opinions.

Back Link: Is LinkedIn keywords in profile good Link building strategy?
I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn. I listed the products I sell and I could have all my partners and associates list my web site on their profiles. Do search engines review LinkedIn personal profiles or company profiles and is it a good marketing strategy to have my web site, keywords, and my two largest selling products on LinkedIn?
