many website designers put a hot link to their own website at the bottom of every page they create for a client's website. does having multiple links back to the designer's website pass on more link juice than if there was only onle hot link back to the designer's website?

  • Yes, it does and then if those websites are on different IP addresses it's even more power to your elbow.

  • The short answer is yes.

    That's kind of a shotgun approach to things and the link on the home page will carry a lot more weight that the links on those inner pages but they all add some value.

  • Yes, and it helps. And, depending on the #of pages in the website, it may help more. Not sure, just a theory. A 100 page site could show 100 links vs a one pager showing one links. All other things being equal, whether the links from 100 pager out rank the the links from the one pager, I don't know.
  • ok - here is the thing - it does not help the client of the webdesigner, as it is the client giving away link juice and page rank. thanks guys.

    • I link back to the clients website - because they are my client after all!

      If they cease to be my customer I stop linking to them but my link on their site remains until they replace their website - which can be a very long time later and even then, designers usually do not delete the old site because it belongs to the client. So that little link can be working for a while.

      BUT before you think that that is a bad thing....the client is benefiting from the power of my link to them as long as it lasts.
