I have done some research and I have noticed that some websites have a ton of backlinks because they have hundreds of pages in the same domain and all of those pages link to the main page. If I am correct that means that by linking every single page to your main page and by using anchor text in the link will increase search engine rankings? Example: term: "web hosting" search on google. #1 Fortunecity.com Why? Over 27,500 backlinks who links to them? members.fortunecity.com/memberurl/ what anchor text: "web hosting" on every single page of every member. This means if I generate hundreds of pages that link to my main site with anchor text I will increase SERP's right? I also verified and all sites come from the same IP and same CLASS C. What do you think about this?
If you can generate that hundreds of thousands of pages required to get a few thousand links for your own site, do it. Avoid duplicate content (eg, don't just take the same page and rename it thousands of time to create new pages), avoid gibberish script page builders (eg, don't install a Lorem Ipsum script that will generate pages dynamically), and don't do anything else that doesn't create true genuine content (eg, scrapping content from other sites). Fortune city manages this task by giving out free 25mb webspace on a subdomain that can be used for blogs, photo albums, or small websites. Indeed, if you run site:www.fortunecity.com you'll get 505,000 results.
If you have few links pointing to your site then creating loads of pages on the site and linking each one to the homepage won't help you. All the pages on your site should link to the homepage anyway. A lot of the sites you are looking at have top rankings and have loads of pages. That doesn't mean that the reason they have top rankings is *because* they have lots of pages.
Too true. I guess I failed to mention that many of the subdomains created by fortunecity users most likely get a few backlinks for their subdomains, which is always a good thing.
