Link building
-
I have two separate websites on different servers and was wondering that since reciprocal links effectively eliminate each other, I'm curious if this link strategy will keep the links counting. Here's the strategy: I will have someone link to my site A and if i link to their site from my site B in a three way link strategy, will the links count even though both my site A and B have me listed as the Whois so Google knows that both sites are owned by me? Or will the links be discounted as reciprocal?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Take care,
Ron

How does Google knows looking at analytics code that both the sites are owned by one person ?

There is no problem in you link the two sites, even if on the same server with the same IP. What we can do this is in large quantity. For example, having 30 siteslinking to each other, can be characterized linkfarm. Exchanging links is acommon practice especially if the same niche, like James said.
Doing so with only two sites do not see any problem. I do this in some sites configured in the same analytcs, adwords and being on the same server. I getgood results, having never sanctioned site. Of course we can not abuse and we must do good practices, such as content generation and link bait. Spontaneousgenerating links to the site.
So why punish a google site with good content and linked to other sites?
What we can not, it would only do this:)

Good point, Google also is a registrar so they can get behind the scenes to see who has bought domains and even if the whois is different, if the domains were bought with the same credit card, google will take note of this.
Thanks for your input!

Hi,
If you own both the sites you can just do a 2 way link exchange if they are in the same niche, if they are related sites and you both own them I do not think it is such a bad thing.
I mean if you are really worried about factors around Google placing value on these links then you need to think of all the possible factors in which Google can see networks of websites:
-
Is Google look at my analytics CID codes on websites I own, an easy way to spot networks?
-
Is Google looking at Whois data?
-
Are you running Adsense on all these sites with the same publisher ID code?
In the end the best type of link building is not using your own websites it is going out into the market and looking for quality link opportunities, making great content and syndicating it to related sites, the list goes on really it is endless what you can do.

Link building software
Does anyone know of any software that will build links if I enter the URL in? I know this sounds silly but I had to ask... I know ontolo is good to discover which links you need based on a key word and I know the SEOmoz tools do the same. My question is that is there any software that you can then enter all the links you have found and acquire them, Thank you for your answers. I really appreciate it. Vijay
