      Hi,

      We have nearly 10 sub-domains. Couple of our website top pages including homepage have been linked from every page of these sub-domains; from footer or top menu. Is this kind of linking is bad as per Google? What is the right way of linking between website and sub-domains?

      • How serious is Google about internal linking report? Considers the links from sub-directories too?
