I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or opinions. I am fully aware of how bad for business penalties from Google are. Having said this, I don't want to be in a situation where I may be doing something unethical.
I have various sites, perhaps 4, which cover similar but not the same products. I am looking to launch a shopping cart site, only with shopping from my own country. So, people from my own country who were visiting one of those 4 sites would have the option to visit my actual store. I would have a shop at country link for example.
I don't care about ranking on my shopping cart site. So, if I use no follow links, and remove/block bots from indexing my shopping cart site, is that ethical? Am I doing anything wrong with this?
I am extremely cautious in terms of ethical practices. This setup makes sense for my traffic volumes coming from my own country.
In a sense, the main sites find the traffic, and people visiting those sites can click a link to the shopping cart site. I hope this makes sense. I guess I'm wondering if no follow and blocking bots will demonstrate that I'm not attempting a manipulation of some sort.
Thanks for any help on this scenario.
