Inbound Links - will it benefit?

[PremioOscar]

Hello everyone!

Just a quick question about inbound links!

I managed to be listed as a guest writer on a blog and I am allowed to publish two articles (maybe more if I had more time to write) on it with one link for each article.

The blog has a very good PR compared to my PR2 site.

My website is an e-commerce site and I was thinking to build few links pointing to different pages of the site, but because links come from the same domain will it benefit?

By the way there is not link exchange or anything, I get a link for the articles I publish.

Cheers

Oscar

Just make sure that your posts are relevant to the blog you are posting on and that the links match the blog post you are writing. In terms of the benefit, because they are going to different pages on your website there is some benefit to be had.

Thanks for your reply.

My only concern is that different links coming from the same website might not pass juice and could be seen as just one and all the effort of writing articles and everything might be useless

Hi Some 'bigger picture' questions to consider...

• Is the  blog a relevant, high traffic one that may send referrals?
• Does the site have a very good moderation policy, and only allow great content?
• Are you going to be providing great content that pulls the reader in and makes them want to read more?

If the answers to the above are positive ones, that I would say that it is worth writing for the site. I would recommend linking naturally, and try to negotiate Google Authorship of your posts

• Add the site to your Google Plus account in the 'contributor to' section
• Add a link back to your profile, with the correct rel=author tag

As I recently mentioned in another question a few moments ago, I would also recommend setting an advanced segment up in Google Analytics to check for referrals from the blog and, perhaps more importantly, goal conversions from visitors this blog has referred.

If you are thinking about this from a pure 'rankings' point of view, all I would really recommend is a shift in the though process Google is evolving, so it's important to do the same

Hope this helps!
