Linking between properties
-
I own 3 domains. One is my blog, one is my photography business site, and one is my graphic/web design site. They are all hosted on the same VPS account.
I link between each site. Also, since the links are either in the nav, footer or sidebar, all pages from one page link to the homepage of each other.
Is this an issue for SEO? Should I not be doing this? Would it be beneficial to use a no follow link instead if I'm to keep them?
-
The site all follow good practices, so I don't foresee an issue and those are not the only backlinks they have. Thanks guys!

Agree with Dennis, if you were relying on this method alone for all your link building, you're going to have a bad time. However, it's perfectly natural for sites owned by the same person or company to link to each other. The best-practice warnings of "nofollow everything!" exist because people abuse and overdo this sort of linking. If you think any of these sites might otherwise be in trouble for any reason, consider being as safe as possible and nofollowing, but I doubt you have to.

you'll probably get responses here to nofollow them or to remove them just to be safe.
Personally, I just don't worry about it. I've never had problems with it in the past as long as all my links are not like that.

Disvowing Links?
I ran a report through SEM rush and it came back with 174 toxic links ( score 100-60). I have been reading mixed reviews about what to do. Most of the websites are not relevant and appear to be linking to the images. Should I disavow these links? Would it help SEO? Or should I leave it be?

Unnatural Links To Your Site — Impacts Links warning, Should I do something?
Hi, I got: "Unnatural Links To Your Site — Impacts Links Google has detected a pattern of unnatural artificial, deceptive, or manipulative links pointing to pages on this site. Some links may be outside of the webmaster’s control, so for this incident we are taking targeted action on the unnatural links instead of on the site’s ranking as a whole. " I don't see any dropping at rankings, could the best solution here to be, just to leave everything as it is and be more careful with the link building in the future? Or is there a danger that Google gives further penalties if I don't act on this one do something? I am little afraid that if I start removing links, my rankings will drop, even though they have remained same if don't do anything? Any help is appreciated.

page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor. I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa

wish. Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable?0 -
