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.

How to improve (ASAP) the linking root domain, the followed linking root domains and the linking C-Blocks? Linkbuilding (or whatever) techniques.
I have a small site (.com) like any website in my sector. 30-90 pages. I have no crawls errors. Everythings is fine, just I need to improve my linking root domain, the followed linking root domain and the linking C-Blocks. Example: my competitors have 300 (one of them have 1300) of total links. I have 30. Anyone know some good strategies? techniques? tips? I just dont want to be in a farm directory, I want free links. I'm already running two strategies but it works so slowly. I want something faster at this moment. Also, any recommendation will be thankful.

How do you find out what (and when) new websites are linking to your site?
I may be missing the obvious here, but is there any way (a programme or site) of seeing what new links come into your site? Obviously as anyone who works in SEO, I like to see which links we have got with the work we put in contacting webmasters, etc. But is there a better way than just manually looking through ALL the links? Any help will appreciated.
