A while back, web designer meant to be only one person who makes the design, programming and submit the site to search engines. Nowadays, web design has became to be a huge field where there are different opportunities for art-designers, programmers, SEM and SEO companies…

I recently came across an article over wpcandy that is entitled as SEO for WordPress. I had some question marks when I read the following state on that article.

Some background information: Google gives less weightage to links that appear site-wide, and also links which are separated from the bulk of content. However, the links still pass on invaluable link juice to other pages.

It was containing an interesting question for me. Do site wide links hurt?

I straight away forwarded this question to Brent who founded the SEO Company Agilis Marketing and successfully assisted many companies achieve top search results on the other major search engines.

He has answered me over his blog with an excellent article which is entitled as The Value of Links in SEO. I would encourage you to check the article since he states very important points as an SEO expert.

Sidenote: Brent is also the owner of our WordPress SEO theme who has given it to community for free.
