Since the application product, services and software we market are closely related, I have links that go back and forth between the sites. Not to spam Google, but hopefully get customers to consider our other services when they are visiting one of the sites. If they want app support we are hoping they would consider our database services too.
I have noticed that Google only picked up one link on one of my sites. When I check to see what sites are linking to my new site I get one page of one of the sister sites. The other sites do not get picked up. I don't have all of the pages on all sites linked - just when it is an opportune time to sell the customers additional stuff. I have maybe three pages per site that point to the other sites (with one link on each page). But it seems that none of these links are showing.
This has been this way for a few months now.
I would like to have a better understanding how Google evaluates the links.
Also, link reporting seems to be rather quirky overall.
Be sure you have outside links to these sites. What you are doing by crosslinking them is normal, but you don't want Google to kick it out as a closed circle linkage situation.
