Video: Matt Cutts On Does Linking My Two Sites Together Violate the Quality Guidelines

A new webmaster helps video released by Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s web-spam team on 25 Apr, 2013. This is a response to question asked by Kenichi Suzuki, Tokyo, Japan: “Does linking my two sites together violate the quality guidelines? “

Suppose I have a site that covers fishing overall (A) & I make another fishing site that solely focuses on lure fishing (B). Does linking to A from B violate guidelines? I’ll make sure both have high quality content & I disclose that they’re both owned by me.

Cutts said, If you have a related website then you can link them together. Which is germane to each other. It will be good when the respective and useful to each other…But mass link exchange to unrelated site is not working, They would be in violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.
