Groups of Links?
-
If I have lets say 5 sites and I am able to negotiate a link on a highly ranking site for all five of them together would there be potential for penalty for linking them together on other sites as well?

The concept of relevancy is being drilled into my head on an almost daily basis by my current mentor. I am supposed to cringe, hiss and run like a vampire exposed to light at the concept of linking any of my sites to non relevant sites. After the recent penalties, I would be very cautious about how you link sites together, especially in unnatural looking groups and definitely not with side-wide links if that is the offer. All my sites are currently in the process of separation if not outright divorce

Think "unnatural patterns". The trick to SEO is knowing how to spot unnatural patterns. If you've got 5 sites, and you get 50 links pointing to each one, where those 50 come from the same root domains, that's definitely an unnatural pattern.
Given that SEO is vastly complex, it may not be a big deal if you're doing a full spread of other link building that's unique to each of your 5 sites.

Kyle,
What I am referring to is a bunch of unrelated sites that wouldn't be linked directly to each other but all 5 of them linked from the same higher PR sites. Lets say there are 10 PR7 sites that I know of that will let me post a few links. Would I be better suited post 2 links to each of my five sites (1 per PR7 domain) or put all 5 links on all 10 sites.
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

If I were you I would approach it not using exact match anchor text and not interlinking the 5 sites together. Build more of a pyramid when linking multiple sites to a money site. If you provide me a little more detail i can provide more assistance.

Question about Link Juice
Hi Everyone, I have a couple of articles on which I have some internal links towards other articles. My questions are the following:
Link Building | | anwarjutt90
Are the links in the header menu or the footer of the page take away from the juice of the article by spreading it?
Do the outbound links coming out of my article, do they have any impact on spreading the link juice of my internal links? Thank you in advance for your valuable inputs.0 -
Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

Will short linking to my site affect SERPs attribution of inbound link?
Some brand partners are using their short links to link back to our site (like bit.ly but they have their own). They have a high domain authority and trust so we want that link back to be read by Google. When I downloaded all inbound links from Moz, this brand's site was not listed, making me worried that the inbound link isn't being seen or considered! Haven't been able to find any info on this...

Link over-building?
Hello all. One of the first things we do for our clients is to claim their local listings, include them on a set of selected directories (8-10), and blog directories (5), if applicable. Since they will all be linked to the client site, could doing all of this at once run us into problems with unnatural link growth? Thanks! Frank

Link in the footer
we have a sponsored link in the footer of a website, and since that footer is displayed on each page of that site, it shows that we have thousands of links coming from that site. my question is : does Google consider this as spamming? and does it help us , harm us, or has no effect?

Are the following considered bad links for Link Building.
I've been doing a lot of research lately on link building & I've read a lot about having a diverse amount of links. Social links, Blog links, comment links, footer links, No follow links, Directory links as well as links with Anchor text URL match, brand match, partial brand match, non-descriptive, and with keywords. But there is a lot of talk of removing those links that look like a site that's built just for link building purposes.... but Directories are basically built for link building are they not? I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they feel links from the following directories would be bad links. (Non-Paid) http://www.yoganza.com http://www.wkool.com http://www.wee-directory.com http://www.voicelet.com www.hotfrog.ca http://www.webdirectorieslist.com http://multiplelistingboard.com http://mozdirectory.net http://freedirectorypr.info Industry specific below: http://bestautolinks .com http://automotivedome.com http://automobilebuzz.com http://craigsautolinks.com Thanks so much for the help!

Sorry as you can tell im very new to seo! thanks anthony

Link Farming
Are link farms still bad? I still am not sure about this question. I know that some people still do link farms. If they are bad, wouldn't a directory be considered a link farm? For instance I can get my site on a .EDU, but it will just be a list of links. Is that bad?
