Hi all,

How far is this true,

"Both Google and Yahoo don't care if links come from one site or a thousand sites. They care about the page that is providing the link. Whether you have a thousand links from a thousand sites or a thousand links from one site makes no difference---think about it this way: if they discriminated against links coming from single domains they would be discrimintating against one of the best ways to measure a sites content, which is the volume of pages a site possesses. Think about the true titans of the internet---they all have thousands of pages."

I read it in a newsletter, how far is this true.

I have no hard data, but I do not believe this. Discriminating against multiple links coming from one site is logical. A lot of people are buying links today, the links they purchase are ussually placed at every page of the donor site. SE should try hard to recognise and penalise purchased links, since they do not say anything about the target page relevancy.

I did read that the new Yahoo! search engine does not currently take much account of back links. It seems a retrograde step but perhaps that will change.:(

yes. They give more preference to on the page optimization. If not, they will not get money with their pfi program :D

As far as I know the more links there are on ONE PAGE the less a single link is "worth", so I would guess it's the same with a WHOLE SITE.

Based on the fact that a site is usualy programmed by one person or company, it would seem wrong to count every link to a certain site as a own vote, but rather all together as 1 vote, as it comes from from the same person/company.

To me it seems logical that different sites with related topics voting (with a single link) for a certain site "give" more pagerank than just one site with hundreds of links.

If every page of some site links to you, then I guess that the links would be seen as "non-organic" and you would not get a full credit for them.
