Why sitewide? WHY!!!

Just wonder why ppl take sitewide link over link on a page. Does SE count sitewide link more powerful than just one link?

For me it is spammy same as puting ten link with same anchor text on a page.

 

I'm not sure, but I thought "site wide" was to a page in the site that is not the home page... Am I wrong?

 

Sitewide is on every page of the site.

 

i dont know about seo, but it is good for traffic ... well better than link on only one page don't you think

 

Google doesn't much care for multiple links from one site to another.

 

I think static sitewides work ok for internal but for external what a waste IMO

 

Google seems to implement a one-site/one-vote rule, so sitewides don't help so much for external links.

I like to save all my screen space for ads.

 

but other search engines do

 

I get so little traffic from all other search engines combined that I sometimes forget they exist!

 

Think outside the search engines, and more about direct traffic as well.

 

Nah... laziness is a strategy that is working for me.

 

I know MSN count every page link like 1 new and google count all sitewide links ad 1. But alwaus more is better.

 

sitewides increase the chances of search engines following through to the target site though...

 

So if I have 3 columns in my website, by including (via PHP) a left column, middle (content) and right column, I could keep the links on the left column and have it site wide?

 

sitewides + internal + anchor text = rankings

That's why big sites have a big advantage.

 

Personally, when i buy link, i like an exclusive one page per link style than a sitewide with 10 or 15 link every page

 

Yes while I agree with you that external sitewides are not so good, internal sitewides are dynamite !
