Any benefit to splitting up links from one company to diff pages?
-
We are the presenting sponsor for this big event in our area (Chasco Fiesta). As part of being their sponsor, their website has linked to us in five different places on their site. But it's all to our homepage. Would there be any benefit to having them link to other pages on our site instead of just our homepage (assuming the other pages are a reasonable expectation for the user, of course)?
Thanks,
Ruben

If you have a chance to request a few deep links, then this is always a good thing. Just make it worthwhile for visitors and try not to have keyword rich anchor text pointing back.

I agree with Andy on this one. A link to an inner page + Home page would be beneficial as long as it won't leave the visitor scratching their head about why they are now on a certain inner page in the site.
Keep the anchor text your brand name, if possible and if you have that choice. Otherwise a "Click here" or "Visit Website" will be helpful, just not touching on the branded link aspect Google would enjoy seeing.
Great question, Ruben as I'm sure a lot of others wonder about that too. - Patrick
