If you have two blogspots and use a link between them is this a problem. Will google see this as some form of abuse? If the linking is not egregious is it alright?
Yup it's alright, your blogs with both actually benefit from inter-linking. The only time Google doesn't like inter-linking is if it's with hundreds of thousands of pages within one website.
Build a few blogger blogs and iterlink them with posts to each other and comments and you have the beginnings of a link ring which over time will only appreciate in value. Trouble is you have to keep servicing the blogs to keep them relevant ad timely. But a good idea nonetheless.
It's fine, but if you actually want to benefit from it you should ensure it is on a different IP then your other blog.
Two links are not a problem it is good from the traffic diversion point of view and other benefits just make sure that both the blogs should be on unique IP which will help a lot. Try to add more unique and good content in your blog and try to get links from social bookmarks and social bookmarking websites like Facebook and Twitter for each of your published post in your blog. I am sure you will see more positive results in couple of weeks. AG
providing they are in the smae niche and on different IPs you are fine and will actually build up PR between the sites.
There is no problem. But I would use different IPs to increase the quality of link. You can use weebly and blogspot, instead of using onlyblogspot.
Thankds up on Weebly. I had not heard of it. Also, when someone says "on diff IP" could someone clarify that? I used the same computer to do both blogs, so it has the same IP.
It's not the IP of the computer you use, it's the IP of the server where your blogs are hosted. You can check from your own computer by opening cmd.exe on your computer and typing in: ping www.yoursite.com It will return the ip address of that site. I hope that helps.
I have my sites hosted through the same Hostgator account? Would those normally be run on the same IP address?
Yes, they are on the same IP address. But I wouldn't worry too much about it. After all, what's wrong with a person linking to his or her own blogs?
