Is the Tier1+Tier2 linking structure really needed?
- SEO |
I've got a question that's been bothering me for a while now: I've heard a lot about the tier1/tier2 linking structure for SEO (something like this: senuke.com/bubblus_RandURL.jpg). But it's just not making sense to me on why we even bother with this... and here's my thought process:
1) Some people say it's to boost your links by building backlinks to the tier1 links; but if you using any sort of technique to get your tier1 indexed (eg. turn them into a RSS and submit, bookmark & ping), aren't you technically building backlinks to them, for less work & hassle?
2) Some say it's to protect your money site from being redflagged by SE's: but from the Matt Cutts videos he said that you won't be penalized for having too many links pointing to your sites (since otherwise a competitor could point mass spam links to you to have you sandboxed or de-indexed).
So I thought that wouldn't it be more efficient to just build links to your money site, as long as you're taking measures to get them indexed? Of course I'm still learning the ropes of SEO so please enlighten me!!
Many thanks,
