Thumbs up Building blogs for one-way links

I understand that one-way links from relevant sites are important for SEO and SERPs. Would it be considered a black hat technique to build 2-3 blogs with original content and linking them to my e-commerce site.

For example, I am selling furniture, and I have two blogs called; bedroomfurniture.blog and officefurniture.blog.

I intend to add my own articles to each one weekly.

Thanks.

No. of Blogs = No.of incoming links ...is that a good strategy to gain back links ...
According to me its not a wise move just because of incoming links. how many blogs you will create and how much time you have to spare to manage all these...instead of that go for manual link exchange procedure you will definitely get good numbers.

Blog can help you to drive more traffic but again lot more hard work is required there.

Do you think that google is going to value those links very highly? They have seen people for years toss up hundreds of websites with the hope of "manufacturing links".

If your blogs do not get links from outside of your own network then they will have no power to pass on to you. The links will be about worthless.

It is like trying to kill a rabbit with a ricochet.

If you have the ability to get links into those blogs from outside of your own network of sites then they will pass some value to you. However, if you can do that then you should simply get those links straight into your most valuable site where all of their benefit will be absorbed.

IMO add a single blog to your site. Then try to get links to the blog. Blogs are only a good source of links if the content on the blog is of a qulaity and interest that people think worthy of linking to. I would guess the vast amount of blogs on the internet donot generate oneway links of any significance.

If you have writing skill and can generate interesting, relevant and decent articles blogs and social bookmarking can be a very good way to create links. As to your specifc idea I agree with completley what EGOL said in the above post..

Having multiple blogs for multiple sites is very hard to achieve only for getting back links i myself have one blog which satisfies my expectations as it is not only getting traffic it also give back link this is for sure.

So, according to me just have one blog and write in a creative and unique way to get traffic and back link.

There's one guy here that has a dvd site or something and just creates thousands of blogger.com blogs with unique content linking to his store and it looks like he gets some good naturals.

It's definitely one way of doing it. The other being, creating a handful of really decent blogs with good back links etc and then sending the juice to your target site. This is what I tend to do as I prefer quality over quantity... what am I going to do with 1000 blogger junk blogs?)

First priority is Quality content and what it can offer something of value to your visitors. Then that quality is measured by resulting traffic, SERP of your blog keywords, number of comments in your blog, backlinks to your blog, etc.

You can do whatever you want after you've done that successfully.

If first priority is not being achieved, it may end like nothing of value to your e-commerce sites or a spam.

My bet would be stick to a single blog and focus all your energies on it...

Frankly it makes no sense making 100 good for nothing websites/blogs.

As EGOL said without link juice your links aren't worth much.....

I've experimented with both ways. Never have done a test as to which does better but I've used both strategies and achieved rankings.

Problem is I do a lot more than just this...so determining which is better I cannot do.

I will say if you choose to do a few or more blogs, don't do them all at blogger, do one at xanga, one at bloghi, one at vox, one at blogspot, one at etc... --- oh and obviously Follow is better than No Follow.

If you do it this way you can only expect to get relevant back links, not traffic (at least not likely since I'm assuming the content would be more common with little interest to readers). I won't go too much into the value of these back links because I have no concrete answer. I do know I have played this "game" before and I certainly wouldn't call it "white hat". I can, however, bet if you update these blogs once or twice a month and give them some link juice from outside sources they will count more than some would assume.

Truth is if you have the skill to write interesting/catchy stuff, go for the traffic from a blog not the LJ and stick to just one.

Actually, there are some very good reasons to put up a blog(s) that flows link juice into your site:

1) Blog posts can be promoted in the social networks, but pages on an ecommerce store will get shot down. The opportunities for traffic and backlinks are far greater with a blog.

2) Google likes blogs. Especially if you're adding fresh content every day. It's hard for an ecommerce site to add fresh content. In fact, once you've got a user in your store you don't want to distract them with reading articles. You want them to click the order button.

3) A multi-level star topology of sites from different domains and different IP C-blocks will make the site at the center appear to be more of an authority than a single site.

4) You can deep link to specific pages from your blog, but links coming from the outside tend to go to the top level of your domain.

I agree that spammy blogs that aren't promoted won't do any good, but I wouldn't dismiss the benefits of a well constructed network of blogs pointing to a single site.
