My opinions are along the same lines. It could be beneficial for both the
Internet visitor and the search engine to have a few keyphrase agendas
cross-linking. My thinking is that together they could create a more complex
and unified group particularly when one web site serves as the index of it
all. I am testing this at the moment. At first glance this theory may sound
somewhat contrary to the standard opinions regarding PR distribution but is
in fact complimentary to those perspectives. I sharpened my pencil and have
done the math.
I would not suggest to bleed one web site of all it's importance so as to
acknowledge the importance of other web sites, rather I would suggest you
attempt a "spread the wealth around" approach. To me, this is a better way
whereas if on one web site you choose to create 20 outbound links then from
some of those outbound sites find ways to return 20 or so back. One for one.
Two for two...
