I'm not sure how much this'll work, I just tried it today, but let's say you got five web sites with a total of 50,000 weight in the co-op. Now, right next to the co-op links on each of your sites you add your own link linking to a links page linking to all your sites. To avoid too many new links to a URL, on each site you have the links page be right on that domain, so it's not linking off site but looks like you're linking to a links page on your own site, and then each site links to all sites. And to not get the duplicate content penalty, if you got a lot of sites doing this, on each site have random content also show up with the links. If my thery is right, all these extra links will up your search engine listings enough to give you up to 50,000 more weight, along with more visitors from better listings/PR. I have no idea what the results will be, I'm trying this out with 189,828 of weight, on about 45 sites. If you've tried this before, I'd love to know the results, or what you think'll happen.
I am not sure how this will increase the coop weight. coop weight depends on the PR of the homepage + pages indexed by google. Since this method does not increase the PR of the homepages or increase the number of pages indexed how will this result in increase in weight?
It will help co-op alittle, because it's more backlinks. I already do something similar. In the footer of all my websites, I have a link to an internal page listing all of my websites. I use a php includes to call my master list of websites and descriptions. You can see what I do here: http://www.joehayes.org/network/
are you saying that the extra backlinks will increase the PR of the homepage? and therefore the coop weight will increase?
That's my guess. Here's an example with everything, including random content. With 189,828 pages worth of weight linking to a page like that on every domain with every domain having the links page on it's own domain. About 45 more back-links/189,828 weight of links (Links page) with out worrying about duplicate content, or generating too many links to one links page. That's like asking 'How do you make a links page!!' I'll translate it in to English.... You add your own link (very bottom of page, left of the normal co-op links.) linking to a links page linking to all your sites. And that's just simple SEO! Only wackos understand this simple stuff!!
Seeing you type the word link 50 times is making me dizzy... But isn't this a definition of a link farm? A group of sites interlinking between each other?
All the big sites link to there own sites! For example, like SEOChat at the very top right of the page theres a 'ten link link farm'!!! Yes, it's a link farm!!!! I have yet to ever get banned for linking to my own sites, just for having duplicate content, ie wikipedia/Amazon clones. For about six months now I've been doing that on one site. Heck, in my SEO n00bie days I had tiny hidden link images at the top of my sites site wide, all linking to each other, about 10 image links and they never got banned!! Now that was a BIG no-no!!!! The co-op is a tiny five link link farm, and it works!!!!
pre jagger this would have worked....i am not sure this will work now also google is getting better at identifying links which are meant to boost the pagerank. It'll be very easy for google to discount the thousands of links originating from just 5 sites. but anyways its just my 2 cents, best of luck for the experiment
I think you succeeded in breaking at least half of the webmaster guidelines in Google and Yahoo! Good luck.
Would the co-op exist if search engines didn't exist?! That's not there because of search engines, but to test out the back-links/co-op weight thery.
If i understand the question you are asking, and i dont think i do. The result of doing all that will simply share the total PR of all sites equally among all sites. Or, Google will simply ignore the recip links.
