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.

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

Internal Linking
OSE only shows me as having 24 internal links on my home page. My internal links and total links are far less than my competitors, some of whom have 1700 on a single page. My site is www.CenterCityTeam.com and an example of a competitor with far more internal links is www.McCannTeam.com. 1) How do I get that many internal links on a page and 2) do I even want to?

Links on Charity websites?
Do links on link pages or home pages work on unrelated sites, I know if a site is unrelated and the content is related it puts a similarity in the link to helps it's worth but with just a link on a links page (5-10 other links not a directory) does this pass any power or is it a bad idea.

Links from Real Estate Websites Link Page, Do or Don't?
It seems that real estate sites have at times been under heavier scrutiny from the search engines. But real estate agents get networking, which makes acquiring those links a little bit easier. Plus with localization of search, I think real estate sites may give off a good GEO scent. Should SEO's go for links from real estate websites? Does a reciprocal link devalue said links?

Link exchanges
I have quite a few legal clients and 90% of my clients top competitors are doing 1:1 link exchanges and they have been doing it for years. Other industries Dont seem as prevalent. I am just boggled every time someone says link exchanges don't work, will get penalized, or value is not passed. Its been working for my competitors....Legal SEO's seem to focus heavily on link exchanges. I have yet to do link exchanges, but am about to get started with a resourceful directory of local businesses on my clients site. Some will be linking back, but not all. Fear of penalization is lurking in my mind. Does anyone have any real data on this? Does anyone have an example of doing this properly and an example of how not to do it? I appreciate any feedback you can give. Thank you,
