I'm relatively new to SEO, in a few months I built up a niche specific site network of about 60 sites between PR0-PR5 (20 PR3+) and a blogspot blog network of 820 blogs. My question is what would be the best pattern to link these sites together ? One or two peak site is the best ? I'm thinking about a pyramid-pattern, blogs links to support sites, support sites to the peak sites... The goal would be that the peak sites go to the first page in google of this niche. (the best is currently in about 30th place, was 12th few weeks ago but dropped) So what is your opinion ? Thanks Ggot
if your hosting all these on the same servers then inter linking them like that won't bennefit to much.
My question is what would be the best pattern to link these sites together ? Dont link all of them at the same time. Your lucky to have so many sites with ok PR (pr3+) on them. I would suggest interlinking the pr0 ones with the pr5 ones and let their PR go up. Interlink the PR1 ones with the PR4 ones, and interlink the PR3 ones with the PR and PR4 ones as well. Leave the PR3 ones for now. This way, by the next time a PR update occurs, most of your sites should go upto a PR3 and the ones that are above it should either stay or maybe go up if you do more directory submissions and etc.
Did you change Title, keyword and description on meta? I am not a master in SEO, but I was change the meta and my site is gone from google. One time, I read an article, she make website but without a lot of SEO effort, just submitting to MSN then Google, in 2 weeks her website already in google 1st page. But I forgot the site name, it's like garden lanscape or something.
Just link them all to the exact same page with the exact same anchor text and see what Google does. Acutally, instead of building up a HUGE network of small sites, build one killer site that people actually care about.
You should build those in a pyramid pattern like you thought. However, you should build them up in a tier of relevancy. For example: You have a website about dogs. Each category of dog type has related dogs in that category. Those sub pages will link to the dog category, then the category to the main page. The same should be for related sites like that. Link up and your main sites should be your top concern. If you want to link down to a site further down the tier, do it in a related blog post with that lower tiered site as a resource.
Only link sites that are related. When you link them you should also make the link something that is in content or on a menu that would get some clicks.
