Just a quick one but I need to know your experiances on using a middle page to divert traffic to a website! If I set up a blog use and build links/traffic fast and just have a link to my main website, what effects will that have on my main website? Are there repercussions on my main website for doing this? What is I use a URL shortner on the middle page and use that traffic to divert to main website?
I own a small cleaning company and use a couple additional blogs hosted on keyword rich domains to help drive traffic. Seems to do pretty well for me!
If you are going to use a group of blog as link base, then it would be fine as long as those blogs has its own unique content. But as always, you should not overdoing it or it would be harm more than help. This could help your main site ranking for certain keyword, but it also depend on your link profile too. You should not rely just only this links group or your link profile would be looked suspicious. About link shorten I think it is unnecessary. You can use direct link without any negative side effects. I am not sure how Google look and treat with shorten url link so use direct link to be safe.
So if I used blackhat software and drive a stupit amount of traffic to a website with the idea the site is a middle man for my main website?
