"Diverse" Links from same IP address worth the work?
-
Hi folks,
This is my first posting, so please be nice with me
I have completed an all-new website (www.buy-hosting.net) , however the domain is bought and already exists since 2 years, but has no inbound links though. Now I start building links.
I have some clients of my web design business, I could bring in links to my new site on their sites from different domains, some established and years old. However, they all are hosted at the same IP address. Is it a good idea for link diversity to post links on their site to my new one? I remember a thing, that only 1 link will be counted, originating from the same IP address. Is this worth the work of asking clients, posting links, etc.? Or is it even dangerous to my new site?
Also, any other ideas about how to start link building are welcome. Is there a comprahensive list, something like a "startes guide with practical ideas" to link building?
Thank you and kind regards

And you will benefit from that in the long run. Keep up the good work and drop me a message if you need any other help. Regards, Andy

Thank you Andy, I feel it was a good change as you say. I do not intend to spam with that site at all. In fact, I worked on it now for 5 months, programming, writing honest reviews, ect. The idea "I make everyone know that it's all about hosting" was overdone by me.
Kind regards

That has changed the whole appearance of the page
It looks less spammy, is less spammy and as such, you will find people feeling that when they visit. Altogether more professional!
Just make sure all other aspects are in order, Page Titles, Meta Descriptions, Alt Tags, etc., then write more content for the site that is all to do with the various hosting packages then link those hosting packages to their own niche articles.
Its a bit of work but you will reap the rewards!
Regards,
Andy

Dear Andy,
I changed the bottom links and the links on the left. If you see anything else, that could be helpful, I will greatly appreciate your opinion.
Kind regards

Thank you,
I will work on that and post here in 2 hours or so again.
Kind regards

If I were to build that page, I would remove all occurance of heavily repeated words and phrases. As Google themselves say, they know pretty quickly what you have to offer, you don't need to keep telling them.
This is what is called "keyword stuffing" and is classed as a black hat (unethical) technique used to try and trick the search engines into giving you a better rank.
I would have a primary heading "Choose Your Hosting Plan", or something like that, then those links down the left, I woud change just to the package on offer "Joomla", "Wordpress" etc.
If there is no Joomla behind the link (on the following page) then Google will not like this either as they will expect to see this, so maybe add some content on those pages to do with the hosting on offer.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Andy

Thank you Andy, your input is greatly appreciated.
Do you think, it would be enough to but away the links at the bottom completely and leave the links on the left like "Buy Joomla hosting", or would you also change these to only "Joomla". I mean, there is no "Joomla" behind the link, isn't that a wrong description?
Thanks
-
Of course.
If you look at your page, there are so many occurrences of the same links both at the left and the bottom, then you have the same words written multiple times "Buy" & "Hosting".
This will do you no favours at all. You would be much better off just titling these "Joomla", etc., without the additional words in there. The page looks spammy and I suspect that if Google comes across it, this will end up being a mark down for you.
Regards,
Andy

Dear Andy,
you write: "Before even looking at link building, I would take some time to sort your site out as it is a huge link fest in there!"
I don't really understand, what you mean with that. Could you please specify your comment or tell it in other words? What exactly would you do about my site and why?
Thank you
-

And no, you dont want to be getting links back from the same class IP. Google is wise to this trick.

Hi TraxNYC,
Thank you for the links.
some of these domains are registered to the same person, most others are not. They are only at the same dedicated server on the same IP address.

Disavow links from legit sites but have spammy link profiles?
I'm currently doing a backlink audit for our site with a LOT of backlinks. Some of the linking sites are legitimate business websites in our industry who have linked to us for a totally legitimate reason (we have good content!). However, these businesses themselves have a spammy backlink profile—that is, the only sites linking to that site are obvious link farm sites. Here is an illustration: spammyseolinks.com; payforseo.xyz; blackhat.ru ==all link to==> legitbusiness.com ==links to==> mysite.com Should I disavow this backlink? I guess it's not really giving me much SEO worth since it surely been branded a spammy junk domain, but then again, it's a real website that we've earned a link from because we're doing stuff the right way. Is it hurting or helping me?

If you discount a subscription when the client links to you, does that classify as a paid link?
For example, we all subscribe to MOZ, but if we received a 25% discount on our subscription if we linked back, would that be considered by Google as a paid link, or would it be seen as a sales tool / promotion?

Can you get "link juice" from an outside company's/organization's intranet?
Will you get the same "link juice benefits" from a University, Government Org, or public company's intranet that are linked to your webpages – vs the benefits that you would get from links from their public webpages? Assume that the external webpages have very high Domain Authority, MozRank/Trust etc.

What is a good ratio of total links to linking root domains?
Is 100 total links for every linking domain too high? I suppose I could also look at ratios of sites that are doing well in the rankings.
