linking to sub sites

is it good or bad?

I have a site which has a PR5. I'm positioned around the 10th place in Google, which is not bad, but my biggest competitors are in the top five with PR6.

I have started to build my link campaign last year, and that helped me to get this rank. However I can't move an inch from this position (PR), and I think that my link structure could be a possible reason.

I'm currently linking to two websites and a few dozens of their subsites. They reciprocate it. Both the main sites and the subsites have PR5. These are NOT affiliate sites, I have checked it. They are in travel biz, just like me.
Google doesn't show them in my backlinks, but G doesn't show many other good links either..

What do you advise? To keep them or not?

Hi,

A good way to get higher PR is to Link Partner with pages with the same PR as you or higher. So try to find sites that have a PR of 5+

Another way is to submit the page your links are on to the search engines...this means your site will get spidered more often plus their links page might get a higher PR, that will then in turn increase your PR

I hope this helps your problem?
