Site Wide Link

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by carowan, Jun 30, 2005.

    I have the opportunity to add a site wide link to a site I am currently working on but have a question.

    Should I:

    1) create a static link with the same anchor text on everypage.

    or

    2) create an array in PHP that will allow me to have a link that changes the anchor text every time the page is loaded?

    I understand google has recently devalued links that change often, but in this case, it would only be the anchor text, not the link?

    What do you think?

    I would have a static link on each page, but not necesarily the same anchor text on each page. This way you have different anchor text, but the links aren't changing

    When there are thousands of pages, it is not possible to use link individually on each page. As generally pages r created from DB. In that case, array is the only option.

    I would do a static link but make sure the site linked to is not linking back to me with sitewide links.

    You can make an array of 100 anchor text options, assign them 'semi-randomly' to each of the site's 10000 pages based on some characteristic of the page or data being pulled from DB. That way links will be 'static'. :)

    this is what i have been looking into, it wont be as broad as 100 options (maybe 10) and I will have it picked out of the array randomly.

    I am using this with RSStatic(.com) it seems like a good way to add content through a feed. In 2 days I added 200 pages from the feed. Im just editing the sig line at the bottom to add an additional link.

    Carowan,
    You are aware that search engines are cracking down on sites that add RSS feeds that have no relevance to the site topic itself? Getting that many pages in 2 days can result in RSS spamming....something that SEs don't like, IMHO.

    I find it hard to believe that anyone would add a rss feed to a site that wasn't relevant to the site.

    Driven,

    I have considered it, but I will be using a closely related topic and will throttle the amount of pages back to approx 5 per day.

    The feed I was originally considering has over 75 items/day- but I will put an upper limit to it.

    Without RSS the site would remain static forever, so I figured I would add this to expand its range and content.
