A few question for all expert SEOs out here Suppose I've 4 websites Site A, Site B , Site C and Site D If "Site A" gets link form 100 domains. Similarly my "Site B", "Site C" and "Site D" get links from the same 100 domains. Will it create a link pattern and ban all my 4 websites? What harm it can do to my sites actually? I'm running link building campaign for all my websites. What rule should I use in this respect? I know link should come naturally in diversified manner from average authority sites and in this respect link building process need to be done more legitimately to build trust factor. But though we all use in some ways a kind of manipulation in link exchange process. I'd appreciate if you put your thought on it and help all of us learn about it. Thanks,
As far as my knowledge, there won't be any problem getting the links from same domains to your websites. If we take the directory submissions, there are 100s-1000s of links pointing to other sites. Just think only that we are getting the quality to links to our site or not. If the link is quality and authoritative then you will get good results, if you get the links from spammy sites then there won't be any harm but we won't get the value for that link. If it really gives harm with these spammy links we can build to our competitor sites to beat them but this is not the case. So, only get the boost from quality links, no harm with spammy links. This is only my personal analysis with my little SEO knowledge
thanks bloomsden for your thought. I'm really looking for some more inputs from you guys Is it that if all my 4 websites get links from those 100 domains, my websites will show each other as related websites in search engine if I use the related: tag in google? What harm it can do in search ranking if all comes as related?
You want to make your link structure look as "natural" as possible. It is thought that the algorithms look for linking patters to see if people are "gaming" the rankings. Of course that is exactly what SEOs do. The issue is how they do it. If you spend to much time, making things look natural you will probably not get much done, on the other hand if you make no effort, then you will probably get less credit for each link. You might want to Google "natural link structure" for further info.
It all depends. Does site A, B, C and D are in the same industry? Are they all on the same server? Are the domain registered with same owner. Are those links points to those sites in the same time frame or different year? I think you get the point.
Getting 100 links from same domain to 4 different website will not create any problem. But, this will even not help you much in SEO. Better get backlinks from reputed websites which has lesser number of outbound links. If all of the websites are on same server and IP then this might get you in some problem. Even i am not sure about it.
It is not harmful at all but ya wasting of time. So better to go for the quality links. The 10-20 quality links improve your ranking.
Thanks samfing for your valuable input 1. A, B, C and D sites are all finance websites but operating in different niche services. 2. They are all hosted on different server 3. They are not registered with the same owner. I'm acting as a marketing person for those domains. 4. But for links I cant say that all links are pointing in the same time frame. I'm not sure what to conclude.
Just to tell you guys that I'm also doing diversifying link building, getting links from different reputed domains other than those 100 domains for each of my websites to make those links more natural. Will that carry less value for my sites as the links from 100 domains are common for all my sites. In this context I want to mention that I've got links from different pages for each of domains.
According to what you have said above, i think if this is the condition then there is no problem at all. If they are not listed on same server then you shouldn't worry about it any more. The time frame is not of major concern. You will not get any problem of such type from search engines.
