Redirecting inner pages of high PR domain

Okay situation is like this:

I have like 400 domains dedicated to about 70-75 clients, some 5, some 10, each domain links out to max 1 client.

200 of these domains I want to keep hyper relevant, well maybe not hyper relevant but at least relevant in such way that one site only covers finance related topics, another interior & decor, another local contractors of all kinds (roofers, plumbers, electrician), others related to the medical field (this is a bit of a catchy one as I don't know if dentists and psychologists match that well but whatever).

I want to build these 200 sites out, and make them real worthy, nice themes, banners, decent content and what not.

But to do that for 400 sites is simply taking too much hay on my fork.

So just some thought that jumped through my mind for these 200 other sites, that I'd like to throw on this board.

What if I would setup some static homepages, make it look real, add a contact/about page or something, heck perhaps even based on some HTML template and stick to one niche, just so that it looks real on first glance in case some manual reviewer passes by.

But on top of that to create some pages that redirect to the client site, juice will flow from the homepage to these pages, likely I'd put those links in a drop down menu so that they aren't directly visible on the homepage. You think such redirect links would be worth anything as there is a total lack of relevancy of course?

The alternative would be to just add more pages, turning it into some 3-5 obl network but obvious that looks far from real, effective sure but real definitely no.

In case of the latter, what would you worry about more:

- Some overlapping OBL profiles due to a mix and match method on these 200 domains

- Zero OBL profile footprint but irrelevant pages per site (algorithm doens't pick it up, manual reviewers do).

Reason for these thoughts is that dedicated domains per client are far from the most efficient way to utilize link juice, or in other words ranking costs way more money this way, and how natural is it for a high PR site to link out only to one other site, know what I mean.

I'm not completely unsatisfied with the current rankings but it could be slightly better and I just have the feeling my largest network is heavily under utilized at this point and attracting new clients in all kind of niches ain't so easy.

Offering one time link packages again also crossed my mind but I already know what happens than, I get to build links to the worst possible penalized sites and risk deindexation of my network sites (yes I think there's a strong relation between that these days).

To throw up some statistics about that theory:

- 320 domains linking to 64 non penalized sites - 0 deindexed
- 40 domains linking to 8 slightly penalized sites - 10 deindexed
- 40 domains linking to 8 heavily penalized sites - 30 deindexed

Keep in mind the money sites were already penalized prior to adding the links from these domains, all domains hosted on shared hosting plans, complete IP uniqueness, some domains were re-used from another network, I haven't kept track of that but I suppose that's just random all over the board.

My definition of penalized

- Non penalized: ranking at page one - page three (without recent drops in rankings)
- Slightly penalized: used to rank at page 1-3, dropped to page 2-5
- Heavily penalized: never ranked or dropped to page 10-20 and beyond

Sorry many topics in one thread but definitely some food for thought.

    That's a long list...

    Do you mean use the same HTML template across 200 domains? Even with one template that's a boat load of manual work.

    I've thought about something similar to your situation a while back, an offline Windows software to admin 10s/100s of domain/sites from the desktop, all content/HTML/data would be stored offline in a MySQL database as a backup & FTP when needed to update any online pages. Anyways I think it would make managing live sites a lot easier than logging in/out of a bunch of host. Plus different task could be automated If needed, example, adding/removing links to 200 domains/pages with the click of a button.

    I don't follow the redirect idea, why not add links to the Home page & be done with it?

      No not the same, I already modified 40 HTML themes before to get rid of redundant links and such, and yes that was a lot of work. I actually had a network of 40 that I later changed back to WP as it was a hell updating it, logging into hosts each time pfff.

      I asked some people if they could develop some script that allows me to enter and remove links (similar to SAPE or High PR society back than) received some responses but it never led to anything, and that's fine as now I consider it a bad idea after having tested that whole concept already.

      Adding links to the homepage is even less relevant, by linking to a page that redirects you can increase the relevancy of the page with a few backlinks, with the homepage and all kind of irrelevant anchors pointed at that (plus the irrelevant content) ain't helping.

      With links on the homepage it would be very similar to SAPE and those links really don't work as they used to do (I understood that from a heavy SAPE user) and when I had that 40 site HTML network I also saw very little benefit from it despite using strong PR4 domains.
