I'm working on two sites that are heavily related (basically one sells red widgets while the other rents them. They keep their sites separate for legitimate business reasons. When I was contracted the two sites linked heavily between each other.
Site A linked from every page(15) at least once to the homepage of site B. Site B at this time has no other backlinks other than from site A.
Site B linked from every page(9) at least twice to the homepage of site A.
All links were Gbody friendly. I know that the general consensus is that there is generally nothing to worry about when its only two sites but I want to err on the side of caution. Here's what I've changed it to.
Site A still links from every page at least once to the homepage of site B.
Site B links from the homepage nav bar to site A. Also twice elsewhere naturally in the body text. Every page still links to site A via a called js file which resides in a robots.txt protected file.
I couldn't care less about any pr flow here other than to ensure there is no penalty.
Two questions
This should be ok right?
Is this the preferred method?
