      Hello,

      we have 4 sites, in which 1 is a main site and rest 3 are niche sites

      All these 3 sites have dofollow links to main site from home page

      We got a high quality backlink - through which all 3 niche sites have got it from that domain

      Is it worth to add backlink from that domain to main site too, despite the fact the 3 sites already have recvd it and they all link to main site

      many thanks

        I would be VERY careful about any backlink structure between multiple sites you own especially if they are on the same hosting or clearly related to the same company or google verified profile.

        If you have a high value backlink going to your three niche sites, all which direct to your main site and that is working for you I would leave it at that. By directly linking to your main site not only do you continue to diminish the page juice of that site but you risk Google seeing this as a purchased link or a link ring due to your related properties.

        Remember good long term SEO isn't about tricking Google, it's about working to build a great experience for your users, and establish content authority. Links from one site isn't going to do that, and trying to build your own pyramid of sites isn't going to help you either.

        Put the user first, build good content, make your site accessible and useable and get involved in any active communities that your niche has and strengthen your sites internals just as much, if not more than, you worry about links.

          i cant really answer that because i do not see the purpose of other sites. Reciprocal links arent really needed but you might just be thinking of maybe the 3 will pass link juice back to the main site. Honestly, you can just do it. It's just a few and it doesnt really matter at this moment. Just focus on other link building work instead of worrying about it

          Good luck Gagan
