Linking strategy between my websites
-
Dear all,
I am quite new in SEO and I am very confused about linking strategy.
I have several websites proposing proofreading services in French and I don't know how to link them together so they get the best chance to have a good ranking.
What strategy would you suggest ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Yafiz

Thanks Joel and Richard for your answers.
You make me wondering whether my strategy is good.
Here is the strategy : I have a website about proofreading service in wordpress. I have other domains whose name are my critical keywords. I was planning to copy/paste my main website on the secondary sites and obviously to change the content to avoid duplicate content (but wordpress template and design will be exactly the same on all the sites).
Once this is done I was planning to link the websites together.
Is there any risk of being classified ''black hat'' by Google ?
Thanks a lot,
Dan

I would be careful. When you say "multiple websites" a few alarms go off in my head. You definitely don't want to get in trouble with duplicate content.
Also with multiple websites you might have a content issue. Why don't you put all of that content in one place and condense everything to one website.

Ok well i will start by telling you that make sure that the sites are not the same code, just a different domain. Google looks for that and its considered "Black Hating". But say they are different it will all depend on the page rank of each site. Too get the best results use multiple links (IE: I build websites for my customers and when i do i put my site link at the bottom, but within my site i also link back to them.) This is were it gets tricky to get the most for the link say I build a roofing website for someone. My SEO company has nothing to do with roofing, but i do websites so i would build a page that give some info on the clients site. Like what they had in mind when we built it and so on.
But linking from one to other will not do much if your just put a link on the page, make sure the link is relevant to the page its linking too. Also i would put them within a blog or content.

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -
Links from Directory Websites with NoFollow Tag
In reviewing our root domain links, I noticed that many of the directories (like Yellow Pages, Insider Pages, Merchant Circle, etc) that there are no follow codes included in the link to our website. Is this a common practice for these directories? Also, I wanted to confirm that this would not help in our link building strategies with any relevant "link juice." Below is a copy and pasted (with some extra characters that shouldn't have copy and pasted), but the key note here is the no follow tag that was included in this link to our site. Visit Website Thanks as always MOZ Community - cheers!

Link Building/ Off page strategy. Do we have already have a 'hook' or should we create more specific content.
Hi Guys. As part of our link building campaign I've been creating a database of people who might link to our site. We're a diary company. So I’ve been focusing on people interested in stationary, paper, pens, etc who also blog. We have a unique product at TOAD diaries, it's essentially an online tool that allows you to design your own diary. You can choose size, colour, duration, etc and also personalise the cover. So the product (we think) is very compelling and interesting. First of it’s kind. Check it out here: http://www.toaddiaries.co.uk/designer/diary/a5/everyday-diary-week-across-2-pages/coil-bound/toad-plum/12/1/8/2014 So.... question. Do you think that the site itself would considered 'good content'? i.e) It's already a very interesting idea that's worth linking to. Or Would it be better to create a high quality engaging blog (with info-graphics etc) that really speaks to that community of people? Say, about our love of the humble paper diary, and why it's still useful. Then use that blog content to try get links? You thoughts would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Isaac.

Reciprocal links
Are they worth anything, if they are from relevant sites? I'm I better off avoiding linking back wherever possible?

Best five links to get first for a new website
I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

Links I am not Building?
Hi All, I check webmaster multiple times on a daily basis, and I noticed some links that I have not worked on and look a bit spammy, is it possible for people to purposely pont bad links in my direction? If that is the case is there a way for me to remove them myself? Also the number of total backlinks are very different in Webmaster and my Open Site Explorer, is this normal? Thanks again !

Links from any country?
My site is aimed primarily at the UK, 90% of the traffic is from the UK and most of my links are from other UK based and UK targetted websites. The content is actually fairly international (apart from certain terms like Plasterboard instead of Drywall, etc). My question is: Should I concentrate on gathering links from the UK, or should I widen my search and try to get links from US and European websites? Are there any particular advantages or disadvantages to keeping links "local"?
