peachpurpleParticipantIs it OK to post two external links from my website which are related to my blogjob article?
For example; I wrote a Bok Choy Soup recipe here and add 2 links to my other site which are soup related links.Is it OK?
I read the rules here which state:
You agree to not use back link spam to promote your sites.

pramalkumarsamantaParticipantPerhaps Okay.

peachpurpleParticipant@pramalkumarsamanta, thanks, glad to hear that
@erlymccheaven, different from each site…. does that mean two articles from different sites are allowed?

pramalkumarsamantaParticipantIf the site does not object to the article, what is the problem in it?

TAlbertsParticipantI have seen some that links their blogs to their other websites. So I think itΒ΄s okay.

josephParticipanti have posted more than two links in my posts; mostly referral links.

rextruloveModeratorI wouldn’t think that spammy links would be allowed. On the other hand, having links to reputable sites gives strength to an article and adds ‘link juice’. The linked site just couldn’t violate adsense rules, per the rules here.

gina145ParticipantMy interpretation of that rule is that it’s okay to use links to support an article that you’ve written, but it’s not okay to write an article which serves no other purpose than to send traffic to those links.

peachpurpleParticipant@adssolsn you got any warnings or mail from Blogjob team for putting the referral links?
I am not putting referral links but links to soup recipes
-
September 20, 2015 at 9:09 am #32842
peachpurpleParticipant@gina145 so in other words, if my article at blogjob is about soup recipe and the external links that I added are my other articles at other sites also soup recipes, it should be ok, right?
Correct me if I am wrong
-
September 20, 2015 at 12:52 pm #32924
gina145ParticipantI’d hardly say I’m qualified to give an expert opinion, but linking to other soup recipes sounds okay to me. What I’d regard as spammy would be if you wrote a lot of nonsense about soup and then linked to recipes that you had published elsewhere.

peachpurpleParticipantunderstood. Thanks

September 20, 2015 at 9:12 am #32845
peachpurpleParticipantwhat are spammy links? Links not related to blogjob articles that I write?
Nope, all my links are related

rextruloveModerator@peachpurple I’d count as a spammy link any link that wasn’t adding value to the article and was designed to make someone go somewhere else, do something else or to buy something. For instance, in my animal articles, I often include links to the animal I’m talking about that point to authoritative sites like National Geographic, a state game commission, the Audubon society, etc. If I’m writing about bears, though, I don’t link to a pet store. That would be spammy. Bears are animals and dogs/cats are animals, but they aren’t the same thing. π
I also don’t link to something tacky, though I don’t see anything in the rules against it. If I’m writing about rattlesnakes, I won’t link to an article about how to make a rattlesnake belt, for instance, because it would be tacky.
I try to use only links that directly relate and that are authoritative (no wikipedia or external blogs), but that is just me. Using only authoritative links drives your personal SEO up.

peachpurpleParticipant@rextrulove understood sir, very clearly explained

shaloowaliaParticipanti don’t use any links in my posts…better to play safe!
-
September 23, 2015 at 12:11 pm #33470
rextruloveModeratorThe downside of not using links is that you lose out on the additional SEO, backlinks and a lot of the traffic you could be getting. That isn’t so much of a problem unless you are wanting to make money from your blogs.

peachpurpleParticipant@shaloowalia maybe you are right
-
September 23, 2015 at 12:43 pm #33493
josephParticipantno i have not received any alert from blogjob @peachpulple.
-
September 24, 2015 at 5:45 pm #33765
TAlbertsParticipantI mostly put 2 links in my post.
-
September 26, 2015 at 2:38 am #34071
peachpurpleParticipant@thelme55 i put 1-2 links too

angie10Participant@TAlberts, if admin haven’t pulled you up on that, then I guess it must be ok π

September 26, 2015 at 1:55 pm #34185
thisnthatParticipantWell, it just says don’t spam. I wouldn’t think a link or two would be regarded as spam, but then again, I’m new here so not real familiar with how things work yet.
-
September 26, 2015 at 2:10 pm #34200
rextruloveModeratorIt depends on where the link points, @thisnthat. If the link is to a legitimate site that adds more information for the reader, it is valuable. Most of my articles are informational, so links to authoritative sites is appropriate.
-
September 26, 2015 at 2:15 pm #34205
thisnthatParticipantYeah, that makes sense. I should have said “relevant” links or something. It really should go without saying, but yeah.
-
September 28, 2015 at 6:11 am #34482
TAlbertsParticipantThe link should be related to the topic of what you are writing. I think 2 links is okay.

peachpurpleParticipant@thelme55/ thanks, got it now
-
February 24, 2016 at 2:53 am #65687
shaloowaliaParticipantUsing two links is ok as long as it’s related to the article.
-
February 28, 2016 at 10:18 am #66535
angie10ParticipantThanks so much for this discussion thread, very informative! It’s true what they say about learning something every day. I’ll bear these points in mind when I decide to use links on my articles. So far, I’ve not.
-
September 20, 2015 at 9:05 am #32837
peachpurpleParticipant@erlymccheaven so 2 links from 2 different sites?
For example one link from Hubpages and one link from Wikinut, all links related to my soup article.Is it ok?
