Is this considered as Excessive Link Exchange?
-
Hi,
I have two similar websites hosted on the same hosting plan. However, they are on 2 different IP addresses. The last 3 digits differ.
Site A: 120.30.30.150
Site B: 120:30.30.151
The problem is that I have significant drops in rankings since the first site A linked to site B. The links were 2000 submitted all at once because of site A's structure. Later, I put no follow attribute in order to tell Google "please don't count those".
I keep doing link building for the second website from mostly articles and still see up and downturns which are too big (10-12 positions back).
Is it possible that somehow Google still considers links form the first site to the second site as excessive link exchange? I clearly cannot find any other logical reason for these drops. I don't do forum, blog comments spam, I regularly check webmaster tools for messages about unnatural links, I do article posting.
I will highly appreciate any opinion on the matter.
Thank you in advance Mozzers

Yes, 100% agree Irving comment about the IP's (same network), also google looks the domain registration owner to determine if both sites comming from the same person or company.
Hope it help

yea this is a no brainer for google to make a connection
Site A: 120.30.30.150
Site B: 120:30.30.151
Article posting to places like ezines is no longer recommended and can get you penalized, also could be onpage factors or duplicate content issues between the two sites, there could be a lot of reasons, would need to see the actual sites though in order to determine.

You're looking as a link schema from google point of view, you should remove all links between A and B, google nows both sites (domains) are owned by the same person.
Hope it help

Too Many Links???
SEOMOZ is telling me I have more than 100 links on quite a few of my pages, and I cant seem to find out what links they are finding. Like for instance on this page http://standupguys.biz/what-we-haul/commercial-junk-removal-services/computer-removal-recycling/ It is telling me that I have 117 hyper links (which is WAY too high). Can anyone explain to me where these are coming from, and how I can avoid this?? Please and thank you.

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.

Iframes vs links
Obviously, websites can link to another web site using iframes, and Google and other search engines do seem to have some capability to index the content. What I want to know is what is the difference in value passed between a regular link and an iframe link. <iframe src="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink"><br /><br />will have the same page ranking effect on the target web site as this link: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink">link</a><br /><br />Alternative, would it work to include an invisible actual link right before the iframe, like this: <br /><br /><a style="display: none;" href="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink">link</a><br /><iframe src="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink"/></p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">The reason is that we are building a product recommendation engine, for a branded cosmetology school in order to get our concept salons to link back to use and I was curious if creating a version they can use as an iframe will give us link benefit.</span></p></iframe>
