      Before even looking at link building, I would take some time to sort your site out as it is a huge link fest in there!

      And no, you dont want to be getting links back from the same class IP. Google is wise to this trick.

      Regards,

      Andy

        Dear Andy,

        you write: "Before even looking at link building, I would take some time to sort your site out as it is a huge link fest in there!"

        I don't really understand, what you mean with that. Could you please specify your comment or tell it in other words? What exactly would you do about my site and why?

        Thank you

          Of course.

          If you look at your page, there are so many occurrences of the same links both at the left and the bottom, then you have the same words written multiple times "Buy" & "Hosting".

          This will do you no favours at all. You would be much better off just titling these "Joomla", etc., without the additional words in there. The page looks spammy and I suspect that if Google comes across it, this will end up being a mark down for you.

          Regards,

          Andy

            Thank you Andy, your input is greatly appreciated.

            Do you think, it would be enough to but away the links at the bottom completely and leave the links on the left like "Buy Joomla hosting", or would you also change these to only "Joomla". I mean, there is no "Joomla" behind the link, isn't that a wrong description?

            Thanks

              If I were to build that page, I would remove all occurance of heavily repeated words and phrases. As Google themselves say, they know pretty quickly what you have to offer, you don't need to keep telling them.

              This is what is called "keyword stuffing" and is classed as a black hat (unethical) technique used to try and trick the search engines into giving you a better rank.

              I would have a primary heading "Choose Your Hosting Plan", or something like that, then those links down the left, I woud change just to the package on offer "Joomla", "Wordpress" etc.

              If there is no Joomla behind the link (on the following page) then Google will not like this either as they will expect to see this, so maybe add some content on those pages to do with the hosting on offer.

              I hope this helps.

              Regards,

              Andy

                  Dear Andy,

                  I changed the bottom links and the links on the left. If you see anything else, that could be helpful, I will greatly appreciate your opinion.

                  Kind regards

                    That has changed the whole appearance of the page 🙂

                    It looks less spammy, is less spammy and as such, you will find people feeling that when they visit. Altogether more professional!

                    Just make sure all other aspects are in order, Page Titles, Meta Descriptions, Alt Tags, etc., then write more content for the site that is all to do with the various hosting packages then link those hosting packages to their own niche articles.

                    Its a bit of work but you will reap the rewards! 🙂

                    Regards,

                    Andy

                      Thank you Andy, I feel it was a good change as you say. I do not intend to spam with that site at all. In fact, I worked on it now for 5 months, programming, writing honest reviews, ect. The idea "I make everyone know that it's all about hosting" was overdone by me.

                      Kind regards

                        And you will benefit from that in the long run. Keep up the good work and drop me a message if you need any other help. Regards, Andy
