Would linking to another site (that ranks for same terms) from my site increase that sites rankings?
- SEO |
Our site ranks 6th for the search term, but is also linked (nofollow) to in the first line of a page on a major news site which ranks 3rd for the competitive search term.
We get roughly equal traffic from the referrals from the major news sites article and organic search. What id like to do is try and increase the rankings of the major new sites page, so that we will benefit from the increase in traffic from their page ranking higher.
My plan was to link back (followed) from our site with some strong anchor text to the major news sites page. Is there any danger in doing this and would it work ? My thought is that a site linking to another site that both rank for the same term would increase the linked to sites rankings on the basis that its a highly relevant link from a "peer site" in the same search term.
My fear of causing damage would be down to some how eroding the ranking capability of our site by doing this. Something like causing their link to be reciprocal (not sure how as the link from the news site is already nofollow, is there anything to worry about here ?)
