Default Site linking strategy that is Google friendly...

I have 5 sites/domains hosted with different providers (different network IP ranges).

I’m wondering what would be the best strategy for linking them together. Daisy chain them? Link them all to each other?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kim

"Whats best for the visitor?"

Probably having all of them linking together would be the best for the visitor... the sites have a similar topic.

...but I hear that Google does not like it when you have them all linking to each other.

The question was more for search engine optimization linking methods... even though the user experience should always be the primary consideration.

I currently have 9 sites. The way I do it is link from my hub site to the other 9 sites at the bottom of each page. On the other sites I just link at the bottom of each page if the categories are similar.

If you're going to inter link the sites, maybe the best option is to link from a sitemap page to the other sites and vice versa?

Make the link "hot text" a keyword that will help you in search engines, and be clear to the visitor where they are going. A site map would help too.

Default does google notice?

If you us this useful tool:

http://www.touchgraph.com/

you will see how easily google can pick up a relationship between sites. It's widely acknowledged that direct reciprocal links are deemed less in value than oneways. Triangulating links, as you suggested, is a good idea to avoid this, and with 5 sites available (very good if all on different IPs) you can certainly mix things up.

It now depends on the relationship of your various sites and how many links you wish to move between sites. page to page it makes better sense to have one site liberally linking to a variety of pages on the next - and pass it on. Mixing up your anchor text is also important - basically, put the effort in to hand make each link on each page rather than introducing a site-wide generic link. Also throw in a few links on some of the pages to other sites (that aren't yours), so it all looks nice and organic.

Default I agree

Organic is a great word. Make it so & live healthy online, or so is the consensus.
