Links Page

[seanc]

would google take a dislike to my sites if i made a links.html page that listed and linked to all my sites, and added it to all my sites ?

so all my sites have a /links.html
listing the same links

no value

Links pages are dead and useless

Create pages that are real and have the links in content and make sense to link to other sites you own.....ideally have them on different hosts.

Create a Xmas tree design if you need to push the power into one site

Google wouldn't take a dislike as such, but the links pages wouldn't really pass any value.

I think it would be better if you rely on your website links with unique content and more over your site map to get listing in Google.

Its not about dislike, It will not give link juice.

Be careful. It MIGHT help or it MIGHT trigger a penalty.

I have a 1 year old main site and developed two new county sites. One county site I linked to main site; the other one I didn't. Suddenly, my linked county site and my main site were kicked from p1 to p10 for 3 months whilst my unlinked county site remained on page 1. All are now p1 again.

I can't prove interlinking was the cause, but I didn't do much else suspect with my new county site.

well, it won't be disliked by search engine but as far link building is concerned, it sometime matters cz links page normally doesn't pass link juice but sometimes it does. so it totally depends upon the quality of the webpage from seo point of view.

If you think it will drive traffic it will probably do you some good. If visitors like you content on one page and you send them to another page (WordPress as special relationship plugins that do this) and they like the destination content and stick around to look at more, it is a positive.

On the flip side, if they hate content on one page and leave quickly and then hate content on the other page and leave quickly this can be a negative.

My recommendation is to concentrate on content and the user experience. Google is looking for content (they love it when publishers work for them for free) that traffic enjoys and that advertisers covet to advertise on. That way the advertiser is happy, the visitor is happy, Google makes a ton of money, an the publisher gets nothing (or next to nothing) for the privilege of hosting Google ads.
