Non Relevant Links with ULR as Anchor - Close To Zero Effect
- SEO |
Lately I expanded my network with 2 new networks, to offer some additional variation in CMS / avoid footprints and to havre more links per domain.
Network 1: Setup as a blogroll network, so that we can get 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 links per domain (to avoid links per domain footprint which you can easily get with Wordpress) and only using the URL like (hxxp://www.site.com) as anchor text.
Network 2: Setup as pure HTML network, where we just place a hyper link with anchor text like (www.site.com) this time without the http, to have max 1 link per domain and also to have more variation in CMS (or in this case not CMS as its pure HTML)
After adding links on 20 domains for a set of 10+ sites I waited about 4 weeks and the results are hardly noticable, if at all. The majority of the domains we placed links on are PR4 btw.
Obvious cause the links are in the sidebar or at some other place there is no content that surrounds the links, neither is there any anchor text being used (beside the URL) so there is absolutely zero relevance coming from those links to the degree that Google seems to completely ignore these links. I kind of suspected we would get some value from them due to the massive juice flowing which would find it's way through the pages on the money site (where it is all relevant) but doesn't seem the case.
I give it a few more weeks and then it's time to redesign those networks as this seems to have zero benefits.
I can then use tags and/or more posts per domain to vary the amount of links per domain (which is a footprint on itself).
