What is the best way to link between all my portals?

[MortenBratli]

Hi

I own 12 different portals within gambling, they do more or less work and feel like this one, Casinotopplisten,  what is the best way for me to link between all of them?

Since there is alot going on in Google these days I havent linked between the sites at all, but i feel that to be a somewhat waste. So here is my three ideas so far, in ranked order:

1. Add a menu at the topp right of the site, or footer, that links to the 10 different sites with different languages. The text link should then only be "Norwegian, Swedish, English etc.."

2. Basiclly the same as about, but in addition linking to the "same page" in the other languages.  As all pages have the same article set for startes this can be done.

3. Dont do any linking between the sites and only link to the sites separately from our company blog/site..

4. Dont link at all.

I should add that all of these sites are on different IPs with different domains and all in different languages.

Hope someone can add their 2c on this one..

Thanks!

Would this type of linking be seen as Link Scheme?

Hi

A lot of good questions you ask regarding the site. For gambling, online casino its really hard to top the list. I dont think you should link between the sites. I also think you should link on the main page to 1 og 2 of your other sites, but not all of the 12 different. I searched and found this question, because we also have 5x different sites and if you see CasinoTopp we have only linked to our other page. Because I think it will be seen as link scheme.

hope if anybody els like me have had this issue can read this

thx
