I have a shopify website that has been in operation for many years. Last Saturday I just launched a woocommce website with a partially matching domain.
I now want to place an backlink to this new woocommce website on this shopify website homepage. Is this safe?
I hope to use the high authority of the shopify website to quickly push the ranking of this new woocommce website to SERP 1.

PS: Due to the different hosting services and different IP addresses used by the two websites, the new woocommce website will avoid using the PBN link website that shopify has already used.
In addition, the company address at the bottom of the two websites was the same before. I have changed the company address information of the new woocommce website today. This is done to hide the footprints to the greatest extent and avoid the correlation between the two websites.
 
1-2 links is no problem, especially if they're relevant.

And yes, I know that this is the opposite of what I've said on your other thread, but I think I've misunderstood what you were asking, sorry! I thought that you have a PBN that you're linking to both sites (the shopify one, and the woocommerce one) through, and now you want to also link the shopify and woocommerce sites together, which will effectively create a 3-way link wheel, which google hates.

But if I'm understanding you correctly, you're not linking to your woocommerce site from the PBN you use on your shopify site, which is good and - in this case - I think you're safe doing the thing...

this is why I think it's safe :)

The point is to never interlink 3+ sites together, as they'll support each other and they can all benefit from each other's authority and get a boost in the SERPs, and google doesn't like this, they'll see the link wheel and most likely penalize all of the sites in the network.

But linking few sites together (in a non-link wheel way) is safe if there's no tell that they all belong to you (this means you have to use different IPs, different domain registration details, different emails, etc..)

Check out @janist's guide on setting up PBNs to understand how to keep yourself under the radar:

changing it won't help if google have already managed to register this info into their supercomputers. If you get penalized this will probably be one of the reasons why. But let's hope it doesn't happen :)

the idea is good, but you should implement it in the planning phase, before registering the domains and building the sites :)

Anyway... I still think you'll be fine, 1 or 2 links is no problem, like I said. It's usually the medium / large networks that get the hammer as those manipulate the rankings with the highest impact. And besides, shopify is too big of a company for google to tank, in the worst case scenario only your woocommerce site will get deindexed, but you can replace the domain with another one if that happens, so it's not that bad. But I still think you'll be fine...

Thank you very much for your authoritative reply.
The new woocommerce website has obtained 2 backlinks to the .edu university discount page yesterday. This new website has been online for a week.
Can I now create backlink to this new website on my old Shopify website right now?
Or should I create some more guest post links and wait a week or so before creating backlinks on my shopify site to this new site?
