During this link building campaign I'm in now I keep facing webmasters who don't know nothing about it and never cared about it either. One guy has a quality forum with over 400.000 pages not indexed for example. Now there is this guy I got a bargain with but he doesn't quite understand my request for 1 link per page with a variety of anchor texts and target pages. I gave him a few examples of anchor text - url combo's and as a test he put 7 of them on one page. Looks like the bargain got even better now. What I wanted to ask though is the following. Do you reckon there is any reason to believe it would be better to stick to the one link per page as oppose to these 7 (they go to the same domain but 7 different pages). Each one has quality anchor text and the page has just a few links and good PR and relevancy is as high as one could wish for. Would there be any risk in taking the seven yuo reckon? The total will be about 7 times 30 pages. The site conforms with all guidelines. I just don't want to be blinded by the bargain factor and walk into a stupid spam flag situation. Thanks!
I can't say for sure, but personally, I'd rather have the one link per page with the various anchors. One of those 'rather be safe than sorry' kind of things. The seven probably wouldn't hurt, but why take the risk? Maybe two or three per page? I'm curious to see what others think about this.
I had a look at the design of it and 3 links would work better looks-wise for them. Might opt for that to be safe-er indeed.
if it reads well and the content lends itself e.g. (travel) on a page about London I would have no problemss in having 5 links to our different london airport pages.... but on "normal" pages I would just use one or two. M
I understand the question to many links from one page to a site will it hurt? I wonder if that is possible, it might do less good but I can not imagin it would hurt, as it is a inbound link and in theory out of your control. if it would actualy hurt your site you could always to that to a competitor and hurt their site. So i can not see that it would hurt you but you may not get as much value from each link
