Sites interlinked - how much changes to make at one time

[BobGW]

Hello,

A client has their main site interlinked with 3 other of their sites. The main site is not ranked as high as it should for the main term, which the the anchor text used in all 3 interlinking sites.

They're having a main sitewide link changed to nofollows today. Should we worry about doing too much at the same time? I'm thinking about either taking off the interlinking or changing it to brand anchor text.

If they need to be linked, you could do the nofollow as you have already done. I would also change them to brand anchor text. So in my opinion you are on the right track.

Next, I would go build some unique content on all the sites as well as some fresh natural, uncommon links from sites that are not related to you. Natural Links.

I would not worry about changing so much. These are not monster changes.

Do you think the client would be harmed at all by removing all of the footer interlinking altogether?
