    Hi,

    Just a question. I've created a non-english blog for the first time. (a dutch one)
    Now that I've made some content, I am questioning myself if I would get backlinks from English sites like Squidoo and Ezine, GoArticles etc and my question for you is if they will still count as good as getting links from high PR dutch sites.

    The answer is Yes and No. Yes because any website link is considered as authority. And No because, sites like squidoo provide nofollow links to new users.

    Those have low value but they will still count.

    The links will count much more if the content in which the links are, is in the same language as the content to which the links are pointing to. Of course the author text value will be transferred equally, no mater the content language.

    I should conclude by saying that every single link is good. Even if it a nofollow link!

    Yea, I was just curious because there aren't a lot of high PR dutch websites related to the niche. Therefore I'll try to make some hubpages etc in the hope to make my website rank higher but then with english content outside of my website.

    I got a high PR backlink from website that was completely Chinese and I had no idea what niche the site was. But I do know it helped my rankings.

    I think Google gives equal weight to links from English and non-English sites. For as long as you're linking to/with bad neighborhood, then it's fine. Google looks into link popularity, authority and relevancy, not in the language of a site.

    I don't see why any one language would be given more importance over another one. The only time I could see this being an issue would be in the situation if two sites were linking together and were not in the same geo-location. But I think that even that would be a tough sell. Overall I think a link is a link.

    Its better if you get good link from dutch sites, this can take you to the top of google, still there is some value you can have if you get link from english sites too.
