"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
-
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!
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.

Regarding same IP, are those domain registered under one person?

Will massive "sculpting" make a difference?
I'm working with a very popular blog that also is associated with related products we manufacture and sell ourselves. The blog is about 99% blog content and about 1% product content. If suddenly some 99% of a 5,000 page blog is changed to have the blog pages no-indexed, will the linkjuice be now more concentrated on the remaining 1%? Also, be aware that this blog has lots of high quality backlinks from everyday recognizable magazines, newspapers and blogs. Of course, this is a highly competitive market place so I'm trying to leave no-stone-unturned here in working out the kinks. In the old days, we sort-of-called this "pagerank sculpting" and the idea was to focus the linkjuce on certain pages and defocus it on other pages. It made sense to block certain pages that were not indexible but Google supposedly dinged that tactic years ago, and today people say this is act also helps as it conserves the crawl budget. Might this make a difference these days?? Keep in mind that the 4,950 remaining pages are still followed, and all backlinks remain in place. Will the site start ranking better for the keywords on the 50 indexed (product) pages?

Link Value
My question is how valuable is getting a link from a PA 71 with roughly 20 links on it. I guess I am saying how many links from a PA of 30 would be a comparable indicator. I understand there is an almost exponential value of authority as they go higher, but I am looking for a good explanation from a technical aspect. Hypothetical Scenario Would a person be better off pursing 20 links from PA25 pages, or would you be better only getting 1 from the PA71 all things equal.

Searching for Quality "Follow" Back Links
I'm in a highly competitive national market where the top sites have links from between 325 and 1300 unique linking root domains, therefore, you have to have an aggressive approach just to get on the map. (I'm at 317) If we were talking about needing 50 good links, I could take the time to cultivate relationships, get to know people, and get 1 or 2 great links from each webmaster, but the scale of the challenge is out of control. My competitors, and myself, seem to all be getting links in the following ways: Hoards of directory links. Some high quality paid links from industry sites ($2,400 per each link per year) and hundreds from 9-$49 per year. At the bottom of the list of most all my competitors, there appears to be some links from their early beginnings that were reciprocal linking arrangements. Blogs where they submitted articles and have good links back to their sites. Paid ads on sites all over the internet that link back with their specific key words. Some from relevant sites, but mostly from sites that would give them a good deal and have high enough traffic and/or page rank. Blog comments with a link back to their site; sometimes with good anchor text and sometimes you're forced to have to use your web site address as the anchor text or even your name. (Does that even do any good?) My dilema is where to find 1,000 good places to get links and I don't do black hat? I can write good quality comments on blogs from a wide variety of industries, but most are now eliminating the possibility of using my anchor text other than my web site and my name. As I scour the playing field, it almost appears that it has become a "pay to play" proposition as far as getting links everywhere other than writing good blog articles, but then what good does it do to have 500 blog articles coming from a handful of linking root domains? You're just stuffing the ballot box! As for me, I'm in the teens with all the high value phrases I need and must come up with a better strategy for the home stretch. In all the other varied statistical measurements that I see on SEO Moz, I'm no lower than #5 out of the top 10 competitors in any of them except Alexa rank. So, I'm close but it seems so far away! Would appreciative and be grateful for some wisdom from the community! Lowell

Are 36 links from one site to nested pages better than one link to the root domain?
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk. The site is structured geographically with 36 area pages, one

page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor. I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa

wish. Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable?0
