I’m not sure this is a penalty or perhaps only a devaluing of the link. There’s no question that interlinks are less valuable and while there’s potential for spamming here at least some interlinking is a natural process and serves a practical purpose, especially among sites of the same genre. I doubt it would be worth it to have separate hosts for this purpose though as this is probably not a cost effective solution.

This makes a lot sense. I recently use this inter-linking with different hosts strategy to make a PR3 blog from scratch within 2 months. Link exchange is just out of date, this inter-linking plus blog comments are most effective PR boost methods at the moment.

If you do interlink the websites, and they use seperate C class hosting servers, then make sure you thoroughly outline (read: plan) your linking tactic before arbitrarily going through and linking. In general, I think a series linking pattern is least likely to attract attention. As soon as you close the hub, you are signalling a closed group, which is much easier to detect.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Maybe do a charge back on your credit card?

For John Scott,

I had Mel Nelson do some work for me then referred a friend to him. After Mel did some smalls jobs for him he decided to have Mel do a large project and advanced Mel $10,000. Mel then disappeared.
Do you have any ideas on how to best deal with retrieving this money?
Thanks
Moshe

There are other ways to get good links, like article marketing with a resource box. I use article marketing almost exclusively. You can submit the articles yourself, or you can use software to make it much faster. I have been using Artemis Pro this year, and it’s made the process go a lot faster. If you have speed, you can work up a lot of links in a very short time.

That is the way I do it. I have my domain name private so as to avoid spam and or id theft. I also have a hosting reseller account using cpanel and WHM. I just need to advertise and get the word out

OK. I understand. Guess I’m paranoid!

We all know Google got into the Registrar biz a couple of years ago.

Now, how private is “private” registration? Does Google have access regardless of the privacy setting simply because they are a registrar as well?

“Google loves to launch half baked filters and penalties. They do this on the basis of what they know”

Actually, identifying linking networks through IPs is amazingly effective for catching link spammers who are too lazy to use different IPs. You can dig up a good percentage of the real estate link networks, for example, through IP tracking. In some cases you got hundreds of real estate agents on the same IP block, all linking to each other.

But I’ll go out on the limb and say different IPs won’t matter unless you’re going to keep your whois private. Google can’t verify website ownership with IP alone, obviously due to cases where you have different webmasters hosted on the same IP via virtual hosting. To identify any spammy links between those sites, Google has to dig into whois information.
