You are very welcome :bigsmile:
As you can gather even from the two responses posted, seo is not an exact science. Whether or not I agree with Classics or any other opinion that varies from mine is irrelevant. The point is to do what works for you cause God knows different people get different results from doing different things.
I agree with Classics on the link scheme opinion. Any scheme is in fact a scheme and should be avoided.
Agree on the cross-linking too many sites on the same IP. BTW – I have unique IP’s for sites that cross link. I think that the degree of crosslinking issue may be understated. 100’s of pages may be asking for trouble I.M.H.O.
Regarding which links are worth more, one ways vs. recips.. My view is all things being equal the one ways are better, not to say that you will be punished for recips, but I think the one ways are given a slight weighting advantage. For me, mix up the one ways and recips and give the site a natural link feel. Too many of one or the other and it looks unatural.
For back to basics info on SEO related matters I find the seo-guy.com/forums pretty useful.
Later!
