Back linking question

I think I know the answer to this question, but I am not real sure so I want to ask it and verify whether I am right or not.

When back linking your blog, as the articles get pushed down as you publish more articles. Do you back link to the web site, or the article URL?

I was wondering if it will help to do all of your back linking to your domain so you get the benefit of massive back links to it? Or if you should back link to each article and have the PR spread out over numerous articles/URL's?

Any imput you want to provide on this subject would be appreciated.

  • Both.

    I push to the home page, and all important posts -- ones that help lead to sales conversion or pass important link popularity to another of my pages on some website.
  • I always link to main page of the blog, but I make sure to position my featured articles in the right spots, that way the incoming traffic can find it and if they aren't interested they can alway navigate to my other articles, resources, recommendations, etc.
  • I guess I should have mentioned, the site will be monetized with AdSense and a few banners (probably to CB products). I don't have any sales page.

    • You could set your blog page to show only one post, so that new posts do not push the old ones down.

      If you do something like that, you can link to your posts, not the blog page itself.

    • Don't matter really.

      Point to your home page, and the articles that you think people will appreciate the most.

    I think a mix of both types of backlinks is best. Majority should go to your homepage but you should also put links pointing towards your good posts.
  • As long as there is a navigation system that the spiders can follow, or better yet a site map, they will find 'pushed down' pages.

    I've heard others concur with pexxy, that a mix of home and inner pages is best, it spreads to pr and looks more organic. Some predict relevance will continue to grow in importance, it that's so you would want 'deep links' to pages with content best matched to the page linking to you, ideally with anchor text, matching the page's keyword.
  • Tim, I have tried to send you a private message (regarding something unrelated) but it won't let me because I don't have 50 posts. If you have time, can you send me a PM so I can ask you a private question? I'm hoping it will let me reply. Thanks
