    I have multiple domains (more than 50) in the same niche. All domains are on the same ip. It is ok to link them together, or to create a piramid link between them?

      Thank you all for the answers! I want to give you more details about the sites/domains. All of them have original content, but the majority are small sites, less than 10 pages and these ones to not provide such value to users. The sites are about wine, some sites offer information about all types of wine, other provide information about places to visit and buy, see, try wine, one is a portal and one or two are about wine cellars.

      I know Goole knows that all domains are mine. I think reasonable and if a user comes to a site, why isn't ok to drive him on other site to find some other information? So you, as an user land on a page, and from that page i can drive you to my main site, which is an online shop that sells all types of wine.

      If i let the links dofollow between sites/domains, it can be interpreted as a manipulative tactic for increasing the PR, but users will find other informations about that big subject - wine.

      I know that Google disagree this tactic if your domains are not related and they are more than 2-3, maybe more, but ther information found on all sites is about the same thing, and they are so related.

      I will wait more answers and points of view from you, guys!

        You might want to put in one of your URLs here http://spyonweb.com/ and see just how easy it is for anyone to spot the servers that are on the same IP or that use the same Google Analytics or Google Adsense code. If we can do it that easily, so can Google.

        What is your content like on these? Do you have enough content to make each site unique and standalone? Or is it worth the thought of combining some of them like others have mentioned?

          It won't matter if the are on the same C block, IP, etc. if they are all registered to the same owner. Today Google even looks at ownership. The issue with doing as you suggest is that you will likely be found out and, even if not penalized, I would think your links won't be allowed to help you. 
          There are two possible ways to go where you could add value to each:
          1. As suggested by David, combine some of the sites where possible. Be careful with this and slow if you go this direction. Make sure you 301 redirect from URL on site A to similar on site B. For any one site, do not combine more than one other over 4 to 6 weeks. I would not combine more than about three sites to one. If some of the sites are low value, just get rid of them.

          2. Where reciprocal links are not of value, you might be able to offer a link from Site G for a link to Site F, etc. Again, I would suggest being methodical and not over doing it.

          Best of luck

            I would stay well away from doing the above in terms of SEO. If you were going to do anything with the 50 domains, you would have been in a much better situation if they were on separate c-class IPs with private registration.

            Interlinking these sites or creating a link pyramid are likely to (at best) have little or no SEO effect. However, you could link together if the different sites provide different value propositions for the visitor.

            It may be a good time to consolidate some of these sites, more than 50 quality sites would be fairly difficult and costly to maintain.

              It would not be a good idea to interlink them for SEO reasons as you mention "creating a link wheel/pyramid". I would ask these questions to myself: 1. Do all the sites have unique content ? 2. Do they have any duplicate/repurposed content at all between theme ? 3. Do uses on one website need to navigate to the other website, since it provides value to the user ? 4. Have you considered nofollow links ? This is a bigger strategy discussion that you have to do to figure out your next steps. If they don't provide too much of a value, how about you aggrgate the content on 1, maybe 2 or 3 combined sites instead of 50 and 301 the rest ? It's really difficult to answer further without knowing more in detail. I hope this atleast invokes some questions and a long term SEO strategy.

                How many links per week/month should a link building campaign acquire?

                I am running a linkbuilding campaign for my company.  I am mostly focusing on guest blogging opportunities and responding to emails from HARO.  How many links would I have to acquire each week or month to be considered doing a good job over a 6 month or a year time period? Thank you,

                I just uncovered a massive 500+ domain PBN linking to competitors

                As the title, some competitors I've been watching are using a PBN they (or their agency) have built. I'm looking to get some discussion on how you approach situations like this - do you just report all of the domains to Google and pray they do something? There are 4 sites I'm looking at, all competing in the same niche with very similar websites (different branding and content, but essentially the same pages). I thought all were related, but after Excel-ing all the domains to see which overlap I've found that there's several sets; PBN 1 covers 117 domains that link to competitors A, B & C. Signaling to me that these are owned by the same person. PBN 2 links together B & C with 30 domains, PBN 3 is just C with 40 domains. PBN 4 is just B with 105 domains. PBN 5 is just A with 10 domains. PBN 6 is D by itself with more than 340 domains. Signaling to me that this one probably isn't owned by the same person. It looks like new domains are added to these PBNs every week and this has been going on for quite some time. Now, I'm fully against use of PBNs that don't use authentic websites that provide value, and I can't find any of these sites that aren't just a basic WP template with a single-word text logo followed by spun content. This is a goldmine, because according to Ahrefs these sites are pulling in well over 500,000 monthly visitors between them, and these links make up the majority of each site's link profile. If these networks were to crumble, that would open up a big opportunity for more authentic sites to rank well. How would you recommend to tackle this? Do I find example URLs and write reports for each of the 500+ domains or are there better ways of working through this?

                A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link

                Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

                Link Detox and Link Removal

                I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own.  But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

                Does blocking domains help remove bad links?

                I have affiliate websites that are harming for one of 2 reasons: 1. They are on adult websites (and I don't want to be in a bad neighborhood) or 2. They are using a Frameset (so their content appears identical to mine and I am getting "credit" for all their junk links) I cannot get these websites to remove our links so I have blocked their IPs on our production firewall. Is this an effective method or should I do something else with these links?

                Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?

                I'm dipping my toes into infographic design. On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic. I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post. Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic?  I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value. If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?

                Do links from my own subdomain to my main domain carry any value?

                I currently have a Wordpress blog set up on a subdomain i.e blog@ etc.  I wanted to know whether the links from the blog to my main site carry any value.
