Should you link from your own sites?

**stevekinsey** · 07-09-10

Is it a good or a bad idea to link back to your portfolio website from all your other websites. My portfolio site has thousands of links from all pages within my own sites, that say something like hosted by: somedomain.com

Now I am wondering if these links are good or are they harming my portfolio site to have so many to one page from other sites, especially as they might be on the same IP.

Anyone have any experience with this?

are the sites relevant to each other ... similar / related themes ?

Their not linking to each other, just all linking back to the same portfolio site. So the only relevence really is that they were all created by the same company.

Is it a footer link ?
Probably neutral / no impact, rather than harmful.

If they are related and on different ip addresses, and ultimately will give your visitors extra info or relevent additional content, then it would be a good move.
