Couple of backlink questions - multiples from the same domain

Hi all,

I was just analyzing some of the competing pages in my niche and noticed that one site uses links from another domain almost exclusivley. Hard to explain, but all of the sites belong to the same niche but promote different products. An example of this would be when you goto sears.com and notice all of the links above in the header to places like kmart, craftman, etc.

My question: is each backlink coming from all of the different pages within the backlink source providing benefit?

For example: Let's say sitea.com and siteb.com exist. sitea.com has a whole bunch of backlinks from siteb.com as follows: siteb.com (PR4), siteb.com/page1 (PR3), siteb.com/page2 (PR3), and siteb.com/page3/anotherpage (PR1). Is all of this link juice flowing directly to sitea.com?

Thanks!

      Google also likes to see outbound links to other relevant sites on your site.

    What you want to focus on getting backlinks from unique domains! That site owner probably owns other websites as I understand it and he's linking to his other websites!

    When you link sitea.com/1.html to sitea.com/2.html that's called an Internal link and yes it's still considered a backlink! However the most powerful backlinks you can get aren't those from within your webpages but those from other websites!
    Yes, you are right, 15% of the weight of the page flows to the internal linking, other 85% flows to outbound links, so it is useful.. But for SERP, ONLY backlinks from UNIQUE domains will work (and definately domains hosted on different IP's)

    Yeahhh definitely. If you have backlinks from different PR pages of a single website they do pass link juice to your website , however they are not as efficient as the links on different websites with same PRs. Its always advised to diversify the IPs of your backlinks but that doesnot totally nullify the effect of many backlinks from the same website. That means you might have to create a lots of backlinks to gain the same effect from backlinks from a single source then a few from different ones. This is just my experience , i don't really know what google thinks and does.

    Moreover as someone here said, it also depends upon the number of ourbound links on the page as to how much link juice is passed. Link juice is equally distributed within the outbound links.

    When it comes to backlinking, we are talking about web pages, neither domains nor sub domains. So, every backlink, coming from different web page of a website will be counted as unique backlink.

      C Rebecca is absolutely right, it is not only about different websites, or IP's etc, although that certainly helps.

      Each page is considered a different backlink, just check your Google Webmaster Tools for proof of that.

      The best way to find out for yourself definitively is to look at your competition, and see what they are doing. My suspicion is that they are getting more than one backlink from many sites. More sites help, and so does more pages. Which do you think is easier?
