I think the common theory on tons of backlinks from the same website is that they are not very beneficial to you, one will suffice, etc. But examine this... Google "hip hop music" and you'll see hiphopmusicdotcom.com is at the top. No argument that this is an extremely competitive niche. Well take a look at the sites backlinks. Most of them (thousands) come from two popular and related websites where it has paid links. Interesting, yeah?
Yeah, I do agree. I was researching the keyword "glass pipes" and the links mostly came from like 4-5 of the same sites.. and the guy was ranking number 2
If you believe that links from the same IP or same c-class have the same link value, then go ahead and use this strategy. I will however always advice to get links from different IP and c-classes as they are so much stronger and gives you more value. The only good thing about masslink from one blot, is to confuse a competitor!
In my opinion, backlinks from same domain have less value than backlinks from different domains, but that difference is not as big as most people are thinking, for example: I would rather get two backlinks from related niche PR6 website than 100s backlinks on PR0-PR2 websites
Agreed. Same IP baclinks may not maximize the benefits but is way better than various different links from lower PR sites
