Move the test pages to one domain

If pages can transfer authority, then testing gets more complicated.


5 Control Page 1 - Links to 5 Test Pages - 0 Unnecessary OBLs
3 Control Page 2 - Links to 3 Test Pages - 2 Unnecessary OBLs
2 Control Page 3 - Links to 2 Test Pages - 3 Unnecessary OBLs
1 Control Page 4 - Links to 1 Test Pages - 4 Unnecessary OBLs

Testing to determine if the value of reciprocal links is discounted :- testingreciprocallinkdiscounting

Missing one reciprocating


Control Page One (1) 4 OBLs, (No) 0 Dummy OBLs
Control Page Two (2) 4 OBLs, (two) 2 Dummy OBLs
Control Page Three (3) 4 OBLs, (three) 3 Dummy OBLs

Down the road test descriptive text

testinginternallinkreputationmultiples

Four internal links –no keyword in link text is worth more than 1 internal link using keyword in link text.

1 with keywords is worth more than 3.
