Law Firm SEO: Cross-linking Your Legal Websites & Blogs

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed or email updates on this topic.

Law firms with multiple sites are always asking us about cross-linking all of their sites. Here’s Google’s Matt Cutts’ take on cross-linking sites.

In our experience, cross-linking sites can be beneficial if implemented properly. However, massive cross-linking between unrelated sites is a great way to get penalized by search engines. It is important that any cross-linking be done judiciously. Following Mr. Cutt’s guidelines is a good place to start. Make sure any cross-linking is done between highly relevant sites.

Further, contextual cross-linking is more favored than universal sidebar or footer cross-linking. For example, if you maintain multiple practice-specific blogs, cross-linking within relevant posts is preferred over cross-linking blog rolls.
