    Hi. I’m a single-person consulting business, and I’m looking to pivot my business away from doing the services, and towards teaching others to do the work.

    In total, I have 20 domain names related to my very small software niche (maybe 10,000 customers worldwide) that are all <productname>.com or <productAcronym>.sales or <product acronym>.info.

    I host most of the sites from a single server from a single company, and the server is located in California, hopefully close to Google’s servers. I have great content on one site, and less content on the others, but I’m looking to link them into a ‘constellation’ of websites that all have better content, and occasionally refer to one-another.

    Does this run the risk of looking like a ‘link farm’ and killing my rankings? If I need to break these domains up across half a dozen servers with one or two sites each, I could do it with a weekend’s worth of work… Just wondering if it’s worth the effort.

    The shared hosting isn’t an issue. I have several SEO sites hosted on the same server.

    but linking them together – that could be an issue. Don’t link them all to each other. You can link some to others, but not all to all.
