2 links from 1 website -> 2 domains 1 hosting
-
Hello Guys,
I have a little question, i got 2 websites that are hosted on the same host.
Now i could get 2 links on one website to direct to each of the websites on the same host.
Does this effect my seo ranking, because the websites are on the same host?
Thank you for your advice!
Kind regards,

Glad I could help and give you something to think about - I would definitely think about 301 redirecting one site to the other site and push forward with building one great information resource for customers new and old..

I think you are right, in the past i bought the other website from a competitor.
Maybe it is a idea in the future to redirect one website to another and then move all content to one website.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Really appreciate it!

No problem - can I ask why you have two separate sites not just one? The reason I ask is that if they are about the same thing then I would consider joining them together into one information resource as this will save on time in terms of admin work and it will also mean that your link profile and therefore domain authority is likely to higher and hence better rankings. The reason I say it will be better is because there will be links that one site gains and the other doesn't, but by joining them together they will both benefit from every link gained. Having two sites in a situation where they could just be one site will only dilute everything in my opinion. Just a suggestion...

Thank you very much for your fast reply to my question.
The websites are not linking to eachother, however they're content uses content that is about the same thing. The difference is like plasma television and lcd television.
I think i could better get a new host than risking to get punished by google right?

I don't see there being an issue if you are getting links to both of your sites from an independent site even if it is linking to your two sites that are on the same host. I have experienced similar without an issue. I take it that both your sites have different content and you have not tried to hide their relationship from Google? I also take it that you have linked the two but don't have excessive links pointing between them?
Going forward I would make sure that both sites have varied natural link profiles - I see there being a issue if you have two sites on the same host with almost identical link profiles with similar or the same anchor text...
If they are both in the same or similar niche and serving different purposes it is only natural that they will have some links that come from the same source.

Should I ask sites that link to me to update links that redirect?
I have found some links to my site that go through a single 301 redirect to get to my site. Should I contact these websites to ask them to update the link, or is that not worth the time?

Link Building - Affiliate Link Programs
I'm getting some conflicting information when researching this... I want to create the most organic link building strategy that not only gets high authority sites linking to a website, but relevant websites. I'm creating an affiliate link program where I link to partner and affiliate companies, who in turn link back to me. The question is where to put these links. I was initially thinking of putting them in the footer so they add credibility to every page, and in turn ask my affiliates to do the same thing. However; some sources say that Google no longer looks at links in the footer section. Is it true that Google doesn't count links in footer sections? And do you have any tips on creating this Affiliate Link Program?

Multiple on-page links to single domain
Hi, the main focus of my question is to add a bit more information to my client as to where they are going wrong. Firstly they have a directory on a third party domain with subdirectories containing all their product listings. All the links need to be no-follow for sure. However, from a link juice passing perspective if there are per page say 20-30 links to varying URLs on the same domain is it still the same sort of calculation that the link juice is sufficiently weakened that each link has little value, or because the links are to the same domain there is an extra (potential) filter going on?
