Tips for Linking Your Own Sites Together

[cowboy]

I know some members of this forum have a large number of sites linked together using a three-way linking strategy.

I'm wondering if anybody has any tips on how to best go about linking your sites together with this strategy, and how to keep track of it, etc.

I really don't three way linking works as well as it used to. I think that the smaller sites you would build should be for traffic. I for one, believe that it's ok to have smaller sites that either target specific geographic regions or specific niches. I then publish press releases and submit to article directories for incoming links.

Don't buy links per say, because I played in that grey area and got two of my smaller sites penalized in google.



I would like to hear from SEOPants about this.

Ok - let me rephrase my question to try to get at it another way...

Let's say somebody launches 100 websites within a 1 year timeframe.

What would be the best strategy for linking these together and capitalizing on the 100 site network for maximum SEO benefit?

I've seen some people still say to link ALL of them together to each of the others via a categorized links page. I'm not sure about that. Some people say three-way linking, some say that doesn't work so well. How would YOU do it?

Letters represent sites; numbers represent the IP address where the site would be hosted.

A > B > C > D > E > F > G > H > I > J > K > L > M > N > O > P > Q > R ...etc...
1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 ...etc...

All one way links....

Or you could do a variation -- for example, link A to B, C, and D. Link B to C, D, and E. Link C to D, E, and F. ...etc...

We have a ring of links between our sites as well and another thing we do is in certain content we drop an anchor text in now and then that will link to one of our other sites pages that will have relevent content per the content on the other site page, damn did I explain that right ....lol

Let me give an example say I have a pub fruit pg on site A and I am making content of a new pub fruit slot on site B, I will drop in a small anchor txt that leads from site B to the pg on site A

Thanks Engineer, this is the type of thing I was looking for. Much appreciated!

I think it is important to understand that links should always remain relevant. I.e just because this is site 'a' I have to link to site 'b'. I don't believe in that concept. You link where appropriate with the correct anchor text. Do that and you shouldn't have any problems.

Way I like to do it as well a more honest approach IMO.
