Does Relevance Flow Like PageRank?

Benguy · 01-17-2011, 11:59 AM

When looking at your backlinks, Google also looks at the backlinks leading to the page that your backlinks are on. I was wondering if having only relevant backlinks pointing to your backlinks would increase the effectiveness of your backlinks.

For instance, could I create some free blogs and create relevant content with links that point to a relevant article that in turn links to my site, and receive some sort of increased relevance effect?

I couldn't find anything on this so any information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

I've actually noticed this i think. I've showed up for phrases that I got a good naked backlink for that seemed influenced by the onpage text. REally really subtle though.

yea I agree that on-page factors effect backlinks. To take it a step further, I'm trying to figure out if the relevancy of the backlinks to your backlinks matters.

I'm starting to think that it does, here's a quote from seo book about a point made in Google's Hilltop algorithm:

"If page A is related to page B and page B is related to page C then a connection between A & C are assumed."

I think if you can, then make link A relevant to Link B that is pointing at your website. This won't hurt.
