Multiple Links in Resource Box

I understand you can add more than one link in your "About Author" or "Resource Block" when you submit an article. Here's my question.

Is it good SEO practice to have only one link back to your website per article or would it be better if you had three links linking back to three separate landing pages using different anchor text? I am talking about the links coming from the "Resource Block" not the actual article. What do you think?

Really good question. Exactly how much of the link juice gets split up by having more than one link going back to your site? I don't think its a 50/50 dilution, but it doesn't count as 2 full links either. I'm really curious to hear what some old hands have to say on this subject.

1 immediate advantage of adding more than 1 link in this section is getting to create multiple deep links to your site, which are hard to get from most directories.

All the best...

Ian C

This is really a good question.
What I think if your site has 2 to 3 important pages where u want some PR,Popularity etc,use those links in your article.If only the Home Page is important and u think that ur HP need to be popular then its better to use one link to your page only.

Links from different pages from a domain pointing to the same page and with the same anchor text is considered as a single link.

Links from multiple pages from a domain pointing to different locations within your site and with different anchor text is immensely valuable.

That's why for site-wides, it's better to have links pointing to internal pages of your website with different anchor text rather than the same link from all pages and with the same anchor text to only one specific page, most commonly the homepage.

Ian C agrees: Quality post! I appreciate your sharing your thoughts on linking. Ian C.

I always have multiple links. Why waste article for just one link - take the benefit and put 3 links. Most of the article directories are for the sole purpose of SEO. Expecting to get traffic is good but don't have high expectations. I have yet to receive traffic from any article directories other then ezinearticles and isnare. Rest all directories work as back linkers - thats all. And if you want to make your site popular in SERPs - you should place three links, different anchor text and different URL (same domain but different URL - One HP, and two internal Pages).

Currently some of my internal pages rank really well in Yahoo and MSN SERPs - homepage is way out of the league for ranking high - so I don't even work on them.
