Google not noticing an external link

[penguin123]

Hello,

I have 2 websites which have currently been indexed.

The 1st one https://www.vaneron.com/ [nofollow] has a dofollow link at it's bottom right to the a page on the 2nd one: https://explora.mu/photos-hd/vaneron-garden-center [nofollow]

However in GSC for the 2nd website in Links > Top linked pages - externally : Nothing is reported in regards to that.

Is it because both sites share the same IP ? So google don't consider the link as valid ?

Not really. Sometimes it takes time to reflect real-time data in the Google search console.

Thank you,

Do you think the arguments in the link hereunder are still valid ?

Google typically considers links from the same domain to be internal links, not external links, even if they are on different websites hosted on the same IP. In this case, since both of your websites are hosted on the same IP, Google may not treat the link as an external link when it comes to the second website's "Top linked pages - externally" report in Google Search Console.

However, it's important to note that having a link from one of your own websites to another is still valuable for users who navigate between your sites. It can also contribute to overall SEO efforts, especially if the content on the linked pages is relevant and provides a good user experience. But Google may not necessarily report it as an external link in Google Search Console's specific reports.

Google uses a complex algorithm to index and rank web pages, and one of the factors it considers is the presence of external links pointing to a page. External links are important for a website's search engine optimization (SEO) because they can improve a site's authority and credibility.
