Getting a sitewide links from one domain as oppsed to few links from certain pages, a good, bad or horrible idea?

[waituk_sanjeev]

Hello, I have a website that is performing really well in Google for country specific Real Estate Website. I have had this site for just about 2 years and I have 4600+ indexed pages, and about 50 of my main keywords appear in top 10 results on Google.

I have now started a second site with a brand new domain, its only about 2 months old. This one is a Travel website and again its country specific (same country that real estate website is performing well in) and since its still building up the content and has barely a couple of backlinks, I am thinking of adding a linkback to it from my Real Estate Site.

Is it a good idea to add a site wide link back from header section of the real estate website to my travel website? Both sites has same country and most of the keywords in both relate to this country. Or will I be better off adding a few text links from few pages with best Page Authority? Or - do you suggest that I do not link the two at all?

Both sites are hosted on different servers, with different IP's and one is on windows server created in asp.net while another is a magento site.

Any advidce / insight will be much appreciated and thank you in advance.

Hi there,

Link to the sidewide not going to harm your site and less if they are related theme.

If you have the possibility to insert a static text link from the homepage would be ideal as it would have more value.

Thank you Shakur.

As for weather they are related theme, one is "Real Estate Bhutan" while another is "Tour and Travel Bhutan". So, more like step sons - instead of direct siblings!

Do you mean its better to add "a static text link from the homepage" instead of sitewide links from every page?

Thank you.

I mean both two solutions are good but if you have a static text in the home would be the best choice because google loves textual links and will also help you to rank the related words.

Hope it helps you.
