Backlink from the same authority sites over and over again

I have found about 40 high ranking authority sites in my niche that are allowing me to produce an unlimited number of backlinks on their domain as long as I add a little content in the mix (a paragraph or so for each link I create). My question is, will it be worth my time to keep building links from these same sites over and over or should I start to look elsewhere for links. The links are all dofollow and these are currently some of the top sites in my niche, meaning they pop up on the first page every time you search on any related topic. Any suggestions?

    Don;t think of your site as a whole - think of each web page on the site. Just keep creating links to different pages from different pages.

      Thanks Allen, That statement means a whole world to me, it answers my question perfectly. It also answers another question I posted a few days ago that didn't get a straight answer.

    Your welcome!

    But know that although I usually talk about articles, I am NOT talking about articles directories here. I am referring to niche-related websites.

    I'm thoerizing that the search engines seem to be treating article directory links differently now.

      Yes Allen, I do spin and mass submit a few articles here and there but the links that I talk about in the original post are all from niche related websites.

      Not to hijack this thread, but is submitting articles to many directories over and over again a waste of time for the purpose of backlinks?

        Matt,

        I believe (more now than ever) that the weight of backlinks from 3rd and bottom tier article directories are pretty much worthless.

        Over the last two months (with article directories) I have noticed that the search engines, especially Google, seem to be playing the "trusted resources" card. They use something they call "Aggregate User Behavior" to determine the relative importance of a directory's articles.

        I can guarantee that the aggregate of those bottom feeding directories is pretty much null...relative to EZA, GA, AB, and Website-Articles.net, of course.

        A waste of time? If we are talking about mass submitting to hudreds of directories, I definitely think so - but I put a value on my time. If you have nothing else to do, or if you think it is worth it, then I guess there's nothing wrong with it.

        If we are talking about hand-picking where you submit and submitting all of your articles to those few directories over time - then no, definitely not a waste of time because those domains do carry a specific amount of SE juice to share with their content providers.

        I hope that didn't sound rude - that's just what I think about it.

        Respectfully,

          That is a great reply. That is what I was wondering. I like to value my time as well.

          I will have to look into your article directory. I have heard slot of good things about it.

            Interesting, I always submit to few directories by hand. However, my question is if it is still worth it services like UAW? Because many swear by its effectiveness and at 467 per month is not cheap...

    All things being equal (and they never are), you are better off getting more back-links from different domains than all from the same one. My experience (opinion) is that having 100 links from articles in an article directory doesn't get you much, if any, more link juice to a page than just having 2-3. Of course a ton of articles will get you more traffic, but that's a different matter.

    I'm curious if Allen G. agrees. I'd value his opinion on this.

      Again, speaking not about article directories, I have not done any testing to see if more domains is any better than the same amount of pages - regardless of domain.

      Common sense would have you believe that more domains is better, but one thing I have learned over the years is that common sense will bite you in the ass sometimes.

      Think about this - would you rather have 20 links from 20 different average domains or would you rather have 10 links a piece coming from different pages at ask.com and yahoo.com?

      I would probably choose the ask and yahoo pages...

      Boy I wish I could test this out, I just don't have the time right now to get those links. You think yahoo and ask would just give me 10 links to try it out? LOL

      Bottom line - we don't truly know until we test it with several pages at our own sites. And unfortunately, with all of the other factors involved, you'd almost have to test it with two brand new domains that have no other links or SE optimization.

      And I have to say once more - I am not talking about articles, article directories or article pages on your own site.

      I've a question.Is there anyway to get all the backlinks from article directories to get indexed? I'm using bots to mass submit to more than 300 ditectories and it's totally impossible to track all those backlinks.

      Thanks..

    Article directories are typically indexed pretty much instantly because they are constantly updating their content(no reason for spiders to leave)

    As for the link building stuff. I'm continue to add links to those domains, as long as you continue to vary the pages on your site that you are linking to(and the corresponding anchor text) it should work wonders.

    When in doubt, do some of both. Continue the niche sites and look to add some others along the way.
