How do you build reciprocal links for a network of sites? What should you watch out for?

　　A reciprocal link means the URL is visible in the site's code, and the text and position of the reciprocal link are displayed on the page. There are many deceptive reciprocal-link traps nowadays — putting the reciprocal-link code inside JavaScript or an iframe to perform the redirect. Search engines cannot crawl these reciprocal links, so they are meaningless for the site. Reciprocal links have many benefits too: they can increase the number of pages search engines index from your site, and they can also bring in traffic directly — statistics show that 60% of traffic comes directly from reciprocal links. So how should reciprocal links be handled for a network of sites? What are the points to watch out for? 【website optimization】

　　How should reciprocal links be handled for a network of sites?

　　Broad external links no longer work, but reciprocal links still count as valid recommendations, so they are very important in external-link building. Many people exchange reciprocal links among their own sites. But this situation is easy to detect, which reduces or even cancels the transfer of weight.

　　So what should we do if we have built more than 5 sites of our own?

　　1. If more than 5 sites belong to the same company name, it is advisable not to link them directly to one another.

　　2. If more than 5 sites are on the same server IP, it is advisable not to link them directly to one another.

　　3. Do not interlink these sites of your own, but each of them can find other people to exchange reciprocal links with.

　　But when we have built a lot of sites in a network, it would be a terrible waste if none of the sites linked to each other. So when building a site network, pay attention to the following points and you can effectively avoid this "waste of resources" problem.

　　II. Points to watch out for with a site network

　　1. Try to use different IPs for each site

　　The few sites you focus on can be registered (beian) and use mainland China IPs; the other sites in the network can use registered domains with Hong Kong or Taiwan IPs.

　　2. Do not use the same company name on each site

　　In particular, do not put the same company name in the titles of multiple sites. You can give the sites in the network slightly different names.

　　3. A few template sets can be shared

　　Because template files mainly live in the CSS, search engines will not use this to determine that the sites belong to the same owner.

　　4. Each site's content must be published according to its own positioning

　　You must not publish similar or identical content — this is the key to ensuring the success of a site network.

　　5. Reduce interlinking

　　If the network has a large number of sites, reduce direct interlinking between the home pages of the various sites, and instead use a link from an inner page of site A to the home page of site B — this is the site-network link-wheel model that the SEO learning forum wants to introduce.
