New domain
-
Hi, I have a domain with no keywords on it, and I´ve been using it for years.
Now I bought another domain with the keyword on it.
I whant to work on seo for the second domain, with the keyword. What is the better way to work this out? 301? Duplicate de site? redirect in another way?
-
Yes, the keyword is on the domain. I haven´t thought about canonical. How can I do that? Duplicate the site and add the canonical to the first one? Can I use canonical to one site to another with different domains?

What does that exactly meen? you don't have the keywords in the domain itself or the content of the page does not reflect your desired KWs?
bought another domain with the keyword on it
I suppose that KW is included in the domain than. How many KWs do you have? 100? 50? or just one? If you have multiple keywords (which I suppose) and your original domain has many inlinks than you can take into consideration working with your original domain. If you have multiple keywords and one is good with the exact match domain but you lost 10% of inkoming link juice with the redirection, than I am not sure that it woths. That domian won't be necessarily good for the rest of the keywords.
Take these into consideration before redirecting. For the redirection part canonicals and 301 redirect are both good, in both cases you loose 10% linkjuice, however canonical is often suggested by more webmasters.

Considering that keywords in domains no longer have the same SEO value they once enjoyed in Google, switching to a new domain might not be in your best interests. While a 301 will pass along much of the incoming link juice, it doesn't necessarily convey all of it.
Nor do you want to duplicate your site, but perhaps you could develop a second site as a blog or with other, unique content and use that to drive traffic to your main site ....

Parked & primary domains
Aloha, I am completely new at this, so please forgive me if I am not describing my question very well, or if these questions has been asked many times before! My husband and I have an LLC and a DBA which sell the same products (although with different emphasis). For the LLC and DBA we have different domains, but we would like for both domains to lead to the website. To do this I have set one domain as primary (makanagardens.com) and the other as parked (bigislandcoffeeroasters.com). My questions are these: Since both domains have the same content, could I be "demoted" by google for duplicate content? I have submitted sitemaps for both domains to google and bing. Is that alright? Does it matter which domain name we link-build upon? So far I have been link-building upon whichever domain is applicable at the time. Thanks!

Domain authority not showing on root domain?
I was going through our site earlier w/ the mozBar (still learning the tools, new here) and saw the attached image. There were far more links to the subdomain (#s on the left) than the root domain (#s on right). This is strange to me, because we are not using any subdomains. All links point to either our root domain or subfolders off our root domain. Is this hurting our ranking for the root domain? Not sure what's up with this. Zz9j0.jpg

Keyword in Domain or not?
My on page optimization grade is an "A" with the following factors; Factor Overview <dl class="scoreboard clearfix"> <dt>Critical Factors</dt> <dd>4 / 4</dd> <dt>High Importance Factors</dt> <dd>7 / 7</dd> <dt>Moderate Importance Factors</dt> <dd>8 / 9</dd> <dt>Low Importance Factors</dt> <dd>11 / 11</dd> <dt>Optional Factors</dt> <dd>5 / 5</dd> </dl> The main thing I appear to be missing is keywords in my URL. How truly important is that in today's SEO world and how much time or ranking would be lost if I do not have control to change the external links to my website if I decided to migrate to a keyword relevant url?

Seo template for new website
I am revamping my website (www.UltimateBasicTraining.com). It's going to be major and I am concerned about the potential traffic loss since over 60% of my overall traffic comes from organic search results in the military basic training area. Are there any good SEO website templates I can start from? I see a lot out there but would prefer the advice of professionals. Thanks

Redirecting a domain
I was setting up a new campaign and received the following error from Roger Robot. "We have detected that the domain www.sitename.com and the domain sitename.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here." I know about redirecting a PAGE using 301 Redirects and how to specify the www. canonical in Google webmaster tools, but is there a "DOMAIN" redirect that I'm missing. What would you suggest doing given the error message above. Thanks, Bill Sqnch.jpg
