Can you put links in your wordpress sites to link to another of your own wordpress sites?

4 replies
Are you allowed to link your own sites to each other? I am sure I read somewhere before that you cannot do this but I can't find out where I read this? For example, I have a great wordpress site about my pregnancy and childbirths but I only want it as an information site and do not want any ads or affiliate links on it but was wondering if I could put a link here and there linking to my Wordress Amazon site that sells prams and the one I have that sells toys? I get a good amount of traffic to my site and would be good to monotise it but I don't want to use adsense or have direct links to affiliate offers, thanks for any help with this.

    Hi Polly

    I presume you are asking about the hosted version of Wordpress rather than the CMS for use on your own domain. Clearly, there would be no problem with the latter and personally, I can see no reason why Wordpress might object to the former.

        Hi Wblink29, yes that is what I was worried about, they are both hosted in the same hosting account (Bluehost) I also have hosting with Hostgator so I will change the pregnancy blog to Hostgator and then link them. Thanks.

    If you are using web hosting and you have your 2 wordpress blogs on the same hosting provider you might want to avoid that. Google will see that as links to the same host. If you are not hosting your own blogs but using outside services (blogger.com - wordpress.com) linking to each other shouldn't have any negative impact IMO.
