Link value

[danlae]

Hi

I have some links from blogs to our ecom website. My question is if anyone knows what happens if you have several different blogs on  .blogspot linking in to you. Does that make them loose value because they are on the same domain? I can probably quite easily have 5-10 blogs on blogspot all with PA of 35-40 link in to us. Is it worth striving for or should i strive to get blogs that have their own domain to link into us instead ? Or equally important ?

Hi Dan

There are potential pros and cons here:

Pro:  those blogs on blogspot.com (Blogger) will be different sub-domains, e.g.  example.blogspot.com  and  sample.blogspot.com  Each one is treated as a seperate website, so they are essentially not on the same domain.

Con:  a lot of blogs have NoFollow links by default, thus negating any link juice flowing out to your website.

So I wouldn't be concerned with a number of blogs all on blogspot pointing in to you.  Though I would suggest ensuring that you have a healthy mix of Relevant good and high quality websites pointing to you on a variety of anchor text, best achieved by creating great content and distributing it well.

Also, check out a blog post published today on HubSpot entitled "The 8 Best Link-Building Tactics to Boost Off-Page SEO"  questionable whether or not they are the best 8, though certainly some good ones there and it's worth a read.

if the blogs are on different blogspot domains and they have seprate information than it will be fine.

Try and aim to acquire links from locations rather then just blogs

It is for sure that the second link's value taht you get from a certain blog is slightly less than the first links value. First of all blogs are on a different subdomain. Subdomains are treated different than if you have links from more folders. Secondly, google owns the best engineers on Earth, i think they are quite are aware of the situation that a lot of blogs sit on the same root domain, however they have different owners. I personally did not do any tests according to this subject but this really has never been a question to me that these are treated as individual sites.

Oh absolutely - not only blogs. I am starting to struggle though to come up with ideas as to which places to "aquire" links from. There are tons of catalogues but i am afraid to just add 10 of them at a time also.
