      Would linking to a site in the US from the UK do harm or good if the site being linked to is industry related? i.e. a UK web design company linking to a US web design career site.

          As long as it's relevant content, it doesn't matter where it is from.

            There shouldn't be any issue. The question I'd like to ask is, do you have a lot of outgoing links ? Is this a clients/testimonials/resources kind of a page ? Are you doing it for your users or for SEO reasons for the site gaining the link ? Worst case scenario, or if you are concerned, add a rel=nofollow.

              Hi Nakul

              We don't have a lot of outgoing links, it would be linking from a blog post of ours.

              I've always thought that as long as the site being linked to is relevant then it doesn't matter what country. I just wanted to make sure.

              Thanks

              • So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
