Inbound Linking from your own sites
-
Good evening,
On each of the sites I have made, I have a link with the anchor text 'Build and Design by Christoper Davies' to my own website. This link is in the footer of every page each of all the sites.
Should I have a 'no follow' rel added to these links, or does linking from all the sites (on all pages) help my ranking?
I am concerned that having so many inbound links from the same sites, with the same anchor text may be doing me more damage than good.

I would nofollow them. It's a pretty spammy linkbuilding technique that Google has allegedly targeted in the past. That article talking specifically about footer links in Wordpress themes, but I can all but guarantee that Wordpress isn't the important word here.

Thank you for your reply Rebecca.
I have added 'nofollow' to these links.
