      Our company has several websites where visitors can request quotes for home improvement. I'm thinking of making each site deeplink to each of our other sites, to create more linking domains and make all our sites help each other.

      Is this a good idea? Or will Google recognize that i'm only promoting our own websites and see this as a bad thing?

        Thanks for the advice, all of you. Will start interlinking and secretly build the company's death star, to be unleashed on the public at a later time.

          Thanks! The big kickass site is in the planning, but will take some time.

          It's going to be potato guns for now, while we're building our battleship.

            Zsolt makes some good points

            It not a problem, it’s a natural thing to do.
            As far as PageRank goes if you link to every website from every website it will have neutral effect over all, but your worse ranking sites will get a boost at the expense of the higher ranking sites. You can alter your links to benifit a site you want to give a boost

            But since there is value in link text relevance, you should come out on top all over
            Having said that it’s better to link in a way that looks natural to your users.

            I would not have these as my only links if they are on the same ip number, but as long as you have a good range of links from other places it is ok to have links from the same ip number. i think people get a bit excited about same IP or same C-class.

              And that is even a better advice than mine.

                Google is really smart and knows that people have been manufacturing links this way for a long time.

                In my opinion, a better idea would be to merge all of these little websites into one big kickass site.

                You can do more damage to the competitor with one battleship than you can with ten potato guns.

                Also... one big kickass site with tons of information and resources usually impresses the visitor more than a hotdog stand with a lot of links to similar websites.

                  If I get it right sites are based on the same topic, so interlinking them carries both user and search engine value (maybe a little bit less for engines than for users as google maybe knows that you own both sites so it gives less value to the links). When you do your linking just keep in mind what pages would you like to rank with and hw pagerank flows so do your job based on that http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/tutorials/a-simple-explanation-of-pagerank (thanks ALan). Good luck!

                    How i can Reduce Spam score of my website

                    link building spam score spam backlinks

                    Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?
                    Are there any other potential reasons why my website might have a spam score, even with these backlinks?
                    What general strategies can I implement to improve my website's overall SEO health and reduce its spam score?
                    Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                    Creating a subdomain or subdirectory for each major city for our main website...

                    If our website is abc.com I am wanting to create a subdomain or subdirectory for each major city for SEO targeting purposes. But I want each domain to go to our see the same content from the main website abc.com. What's the best way to accomplish this? Duplicating our main page over and over sounds terrible , especially when trying to make changes down the road. Should we create an alias for each location? example.. abc.com/new-york, abc.com-chicago, etc...? If we go that route how does google acknowledge that? Would that mess up our SEO or help? Thanks!

                    Blog articles on website vs submitting to article submission sites

                    I had some articles created for a client. The site is on WordPress. I'm wondering if it is best to add the articles to the blog page of the website or if it is better to submit the articles to ezine articles. Or can I submit the same article to both places? Is there a strategy that should be followed generally speaking when creating content for the blog vs article submission sites? The goal is to increase the ranking for target keywords. I realize that the answers could take a lot of different directions. But generally speaking I would like to know, If I have an article where is the best place to add it to achieve better rankings for target keywords? Thanks for the help.

                    How do I build links for an Auto Detailing Company?

                    How do I go about building links for my website www.capitolshine.com Are there places I don't want to have my links? How do I know? How do I reciprocate? Where would I put a link on my website without looking like I'm just selling out to anybody who asks? And how do I actually put the links on my site? Do I need a separate page?

                    How can I check a website to see if it is "nofollow"?

                    I'm a little new to SEO, so maybe this is obvious to some . . . I'm attempting to build backlinks by submitting articles, posting on forums etc.  I just wrote my forst article for ezine and submitted it. I was feeling pretty good about myself until I mentioned it to someone trying to sell me their SEO services and he said that ezine articles are considered "nofollow" on all their links. Well, that was pretty frustrating to hear!  It got me wondering, how many of these other sites have all their posts and blogs listed as "nofollow"?  Is there a way for me to figure it out ahead of time?  Obviously, there are only so many hours in the day and I would rather focus on posting on sites that will actually help me build backlinks! Thanks for your help in advance!
