Power of Sitewide Backlinks

Thanks for the information guys, I was also wondering the power of site wide links. Their HAS to be some since many people actually only use ezine to promote some of their websites.
 
G is not a fan of sitewide links
Take care - the site might get penalized by G for using sitewide links

I would bet money that your site will not be penalized for using sitewide links. This happens organically all the time. Think about blogrolls... Why would Google penalize for a blogroll link?
 
@manolo12399 Yes right, you just have to copy this code in the post plugin setting. Oh I forgot something you will also need a plugin to execute PHP code, like this one:

@angelas111 Thanks :) My PR5 in 20 minutes thread has been moved to Jr VIP section, I wonder why I haven't been upgraded at the same time :/

@businessbira Thanks ;) To subscribe you just have to click on the "thread tools" above the 1st post and you will find the option there (in a drop down menu)

@gonzomcribbinz Are the links expensive on those 2 sites?

Thanks

Google penalizing sites for site-wide links is silly. Yes main domain links are best, since this is that site standing 100% behind their "vote" for your site. But site-wide links do happen naturally organically so it's all good.
 
Oh just wanted to add that sitewide links, despite what some SEO say, are EXREMELY effective.

I have recently been outranked by a website for one of my money pages and the webmaster was using almost only sitewide links from 1 single domain. No need to say that I have got my rankings back after finding this (#1 and #2) :D

Can confirm that. Running a little "private" directory for this purpose - it's just 36 pages but a sidewide there to any new site works wonders.
 
You can also create your own networks and use some PHP code to get something more powerful than sitewide links.

STEP 1: Create several autoblogs that promote themselves (look for an autoblog guide, there are many on this forum)

STEP 2: Install on each blog a wordpress plugin called "Post Layout"

STEP 3: In your post layout settings put this code in one of the locations (I suggest the top location)

PHP:
<?
        $randomtext_text = array(
        "Your 1st Targeted Keyword",
        "Your 2nd Targeted Keyword",
        "Your 3rd Targeted Keyword",
        "Your 4th Targeted Keyword",
        );
 
        $randomtext_urls = array(
        "Your 1st URL",
        "Your 2nd URL",
        "Your 3rd URL",
        );
 
        $sizeoftext = count($randomtext_text);
        $randomtext = (rand()%$sizeoftext);
 
        $sizeofurls = count($randomtext_urls);
        $randomurls = (rand()%$sizeofurls);
 
        $bold = (rand()%3) == 1;
        $italic = (rand()%3) == 1;
        $h1 = (rand()%10) == 1;
 
        if( $h1 ) echo "<h1>";
        if( $italic ) echo "<i>";
        if( $bold ) echo "<b>";
        echo("<a href='$randomtext_urls[$randomurls]'>$randomtext_text[$randomtext]</a>");
        if( $bold ) echo "</b>";
        if( $italic ) echo "</i>";
        if( $h1 ) echo "</h1>";
        echo " ";
?>

Just replace the keywords array with your keywords, you can put as many as you want and also replace the URLS array. You don't need to have the same number of keywords than the URLs.

What it will do is pick one keyword randomly and use it as anchor text to link to one of the random URLS in ALL your posts.

If you setup good autoblogs you can very quickly have thousands of pages link to your selected URLs.

May we have a talk about this? I have the network but missing some knowledge and experience :o
 
sitewide links are not what you can call "natual" links.
natual links usually derive from within the text of the article, like wikipedia.
also, they have many different anchor texts.
since it is not natual to use the same link sitewide, their importance is lower than "on text" links.
ways that google might locate those links: ip, class C, number of links, variation of anchor text and probably more ways.
 
Sitewide backlinks are often brought by people to improve their rankings but they are really only valuable if they are high PR and many many many of them!

But then opinions differ as to the concequences of getting sitewide backlinks but then there are alot of wordpress plugins out there etc which encourage you to get sitewide backlinks to your website.

Am I right in thinking that you could only promote one niche per site using this method? If it randomly pairs the keyword and URLs they'ld all have to be related. Or is there a way to use multiple keyword/URL sets?

Thanks, this was a very helpful post!
