Link building
-
I have two separate websites on different servers and was wondering that since reciprocal links effectively eliminate each other, I'm curious if this link strategy will keep the links counting. Here's the strategy: I will have someone link to my site A and if i link to their site from my site B in a three way link strategy, will the links count even though both my site A and B have me listed as the Whois so Google knows that both sites are owned by me? Or will the links be discounted as reciprocal?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Take care,
Ron

How does Google knows looking at analytics code that both the sites are owned by one person ?

There is no problem in you link the two sites, even if on the same server with the same IP. What we can do this is in large quantity. For example, having 30 siteslinking to each other, can be characterized linkfarm. Exchanging links is acommon practice especially if the same niche, like James said.
Doing so with only two sites do not see any problem. I do this in some sites configured in the same analytcs, adwords and being on the same server. I getgood results, having never sanctioned site. Of course we can not abuse and we must do good practices, such as content generation and link bait. Spontaneousgenerating links to the site.
So why punish a google site with good content and linked to other sites?
What we can not, it would only do this:)

Good point, Google also is a registrar so they can get behind the scenes to see who has bought domains and even if the whois is different, if the domains were bought with the same credit card, google will take note of this.
Thanks for your input!

Hi,
If you own both the sites you can just do a 2 way link exchange if they are in the same niche, if they are related sites and you both own them I do not think it is such a bad thing.
I mean if you are really worried about factors around Google placing value on these links then you need to think of all the possible factors in which Google can see networks of websites:
-
Is Google look at my analytics CID codes on websites I own, an easy way to spot networks?
-
Is Google looking at Whois data?
-
Are you running Adsense on all these sites with the same publisher ID code?
In the end the best type of link building is not using your own websites it is going out into the market and looking for quality link opportunities, making great content and syndicating it to related sites, the list goes on really it is endless what you can do.

What are some Boilerplate Link-Building Activities for a new site?
Assuming you have built a new sophisticated site that involves high user engagement as in bounce rate < 30% sophisticated genuine content (pages > 2000 chars) best possible site speed what are some of the boilerplate link building activities you would execute under which considerations? Activities: I am thinking of things along the lines of building X social media links using a fiverr submission to curated link directories reach out for high quality links with thought leaders etc Considerations: I am thinking of things along the lines of keep a constant link gain velocity over the first 3 months make sure you place links across pages not just the root domain make sure you have a mix of follow and no-follow links and a natural anchor text distribution In short I am hoping we can crowdsource a linkbuilding starting guide in the SEO world of 2015. /T

How many days/hours a month should I dedicate to link building ?
I realise that the more time you dedicate to link building the better, but what would you say is the ideal amount of time that I should spend link building to see a significant improvement in rankings? The keywords I'm trying to target are medium to difficult. So far, I've been spending one day link building but since I'm making all link submissions manually, I haven't seen great results, even though I've been link building for a couple of months. How many days do you spend link building? Thank you in advance for your help! 🙂

Link Building: Asking for links versus building links
I am currently delving into link building for SEO having started out from a social media marketing side. From that angle, it was always my belief building high quality links came from engaging targeted bloggers and sites in my market and related verticals for product reviews and/or providing expert advise and opinion for posts they are creating. As I am learning more the "technical" side of SEO, I've read a lot of posters on here talk about asking from links from websites. While I get the concept from a strategic stand point, are links really asking for or is better to continue to pursue the long term investment of pitching to get coverage from well known bloggers and sites?

Is it important to have a geo modifier for local SEO link building?
If anyone here is familiar with local SEO, you may have noticed that there are different local results for: "city + Keyword" and just the "keyword". When building links will you end up targeting both with a geo modifier in the link, or is it beneficial to build links without the geo modifer for the keyword?
