Sidewise link Vs Single link

Hi,

Does google give preference to sidewide link over single link from same domain?

Thanks

 

Think you mean sitewide...

IMO, the more the merrier as long as they are relevant

 

Thanks for correction. Sitewide not sitewise

 

I would imagine the more the merrier, as well. However, I do notice that some advertisers specify that they only want 1 link on 1 page.

 

is it sitewide or sidewide??
ofcourse it better if you get a sitewide link (i donno about sidewide) as long as all the pages where ur links are indexd in search engines

 

Well sitewide you will get more then one backlink, single link you only get one backlink. So sitewide is better.

 

AFAIK a single link from a relevant page helps more. eXe is right as well as long as you have relevant sitewide links coming in.

 

Single link from a good page (not the links page) may be a link from a page from inbetween the content is better than sitewide links.

You can go in for sitewide links if you are looking for PR but if you are looking for actual rankings you should go in for single links from related sites

 

I often here some people say the total value of and inbound link that is sitewide is probably more valuable than a single link, but if that sitewide link is on 1000 pages of another site even if all the pages are relevant doesn't make that sitewide link 1000 times more valuable than a single link from just one page from that site (assuming all the pages have the same PR and relevance). I mean it is hard to put a value on how much better a sitewide link is it could range anywhere 1.5 times better to 100 times better - it's hard to tell, but I'd be confident in saying that there is diminishing returns from each link added to the same site.

 

Mix it up. Too many links from the same site can look unnatural.

 

I'm with the single page camp - I think google probably sees sitewides as unnatural - at least that would be a logical view. If I'm putting up a link on my site because I think it's something my readers would appreciate, I only put it on the page that it's meaningful for, not the whole site. But when I sell links, they go sitewide. I think if nothing else, google is on to this.

However, I attempted to sell links per page (lots more work for me but I believe it's better) no one was interested... everyone wants sitewides.

The reason why advertiser specify they only want 1 link on a site because it may trigger Google that the site is spamming, because the site may appeared on lot of pages with similar anchor text.

 

There are many legitimate reasons why you would want to be featured on every page of a site. Whilst Google probably does discount sitewides, worst case scenario would be the links are discounted. Other engines still like sitewides that's why there is a demand for them.

 

Depends on your purpose. If it's purely for ranking purposes on Google, your safer not doing sitewide links. You're going to have all the links with the same exact anchor text and that's on obvious unnatural linking pattern. While it may help in the other search engines, it most likely won't help you in Google. Your better off getting a link from 1 page that is most on topic with your site. If it's the best scenario, you get it from the text on the page. Matt Cutts has said that sites found selling links lose their power to give PR and "link juice". Many times, site wide links are in the bottom of a site. Location of links and surrounding text are often indicators of sites that are selling links. It's obvious Google is cracking down on this. Another thing to consider is how many links does your site have now. If it has 25 links and then a sitewide gives you 500, you're asking for trouble.

 

I don't like sidewide link because google can consider it as a site navigation part.

The ideal variant is a link from the main site sections

 

So with this logic, are you saying internal links are not important because there considered navigation? That's just not the case.

 

If you are able to get sitewide link at a better rate than single link then I would advise to go for it.

 

I agree. Some sitewide and some single page looks more natural.

 

I totally agree.
1000 links from one site could be counted as only 1.

Google even says that sitewide links will not be very effective anymore.

Beside that, if the sites are not related it is bad for the site linking out to have 1000 links to the same unrelated site in the footer. That is also Googles words.

 

Sitewide links may not be helpful for SERP but what about PR. Don’t you think more back links means higher PR.?


Thanks
