I have a number of websites on my hosting account – all of these belong to me.
One of these websites is a website development consultancy / agency – assume this is my day job.
The other websites are unrelated and cater for different niches (one’s a job site, one’s a coffee review site etc.).
All of my niche websites include a “website developed by… ” link in the footer – these all point to my website development consultancy website (because I built those websites).
I know people go to great lengths to maintain Private Blog Networks (PBNs) – hosting their sites via different providers, using separate log in information, different themes etc. and PBNs are against Google’s ToS.
My question(s)
-
Would the niche website links to my main website have any SEO value
-
Could these links be considered as a PBN attempt?
