I have a question for u guys. Lets say that u have 20 different websites in 20 different industries. Since i wanna link together this sites which of the two following options will give best value when conserning rankings in * Google *yahoo * MSN 1) reciprocial Linking all domains to all the websites. (I.E 20 sitewide links on each domains) 2) Creating a Chain linking with non reciprocial linking. (I.E to chainlink nr 1 to nr 2. nr 2->nr3, nr3->nr4 and continue on until site nr1 give 20 sitewide links to each of the 20 sites. and site nr 20 recives 20 sitewide links but give none. Which would be your choice, conserning present alorithms. ? Thanks in advance for your answer.
mdvaldosta is definately right. If you dont want to listen to him, go chain, but not in the same c-class.
Well, lets say that i will choose one of the two options and have 4 different c-classes for the 20 websites and some of the chain-linking will appear on the same c-class. Will it make a significant difference?
I knew that you wouldnt listen to mdvaldosta : ) We cant talk about a significant difference in 20 sites, only one to one difference, if the sites are not related you should not link in the same c-class. This is not said by me, but by authorities in the field.
The article is fairly spot on, though I would suggest if you use the 'hub' method that you do not link to all sites from the same page on the hub. You'd end up with alittle less PR transfered (overrated by the way), but much better relevancy of you create a page about each site and link from those pages only. Relevance is much more important than simply getting a backlink. Same class-c or not, relevance is the key. Different class-c's are of course more beneficial, though if those links are not related then they won't do much good for anything other than PR. Things that determine relevance are likely to include the page title (biggest factor in my opinon), page text, location of link on page, anchor text, and the same factors on the page getting linked to.
