This whole linking issue is becoming very confusing….
I’ve heard so many theories on the subject latelty that is makes me wonder if anyone has tested or applied any of these ideas to see what works and what doesnt. I’m starting to 2nd guess my approach and that has me worried.
Here’s some of the notions I’ve heard regarding backlinks:
* Backlinks don’t matter, you can get good positions without any
* Outbound links no longer hurt your PR, in fact it’s a good thing.
* Backlinks are best from index pages only
* Backlinks are better from links pages, not index pages
The list goes on and on and the all these ideas come from credible sources.
Has anyone put up test sites recently to compare backlink theories. The results would be interesting I bet.
