2 sites made - almost same day question
-
So i made 2 sites within 24 hours of each other:
babysitters-nyc.com
and
http://nanny-nyc.com/nanny has 530 pages index and babysitters only 10.
Any idea why that would happen and what the problem would be?
Thanks and happy holidays!

You're likely to have problems with the content of both of those sites. It looks like thin content that is nearly duplicate except for the search and replace of one location for the other. Google isn't going to want to return to the user dozens or hundreds of nearly identical pages. If you do a site: on the nanny site and go in a couple of pages, it says there are actually only about 100 pages indexed.
You're going to need to provide more value to the user if you want to get these affiliate sites actually ranking.

So I did a crawl test on you site via the SEOMoz tool... it pulled in 300+ pages. You can download the excel spreadsheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yo553nkkmzm6fq/babysitters-nyc.com.csv
So definitely submit to GWMT to speed up the process... other than that just wait

Looks like it's only been about 3 weeks since you've registered the domains. You probably just need to wait a bit longer, and the other site will catch up. A couple of tips would be:
1. Explicitly create a robots.txt file. I just feel better doing this, even if I'm not add any special conditions / restrictions to it.
2. Register your sites with Google Webmaster Tools
3. Build more good quality links to your sites. 500 plus pages is a lot for Google to index for a brand new site without any authority. The more good links you have to your sites, the more pages Google will index.
-
You've most likely got a crawl problem. Check your robots.txt to make sure that you haven't disallowed spiders by accident (I've done it).
Next, have you submitted them to Google WMT? Submit those sitemaps and you'll get the whole thing crawled in less than a week I bet

Do Google Know What People Are Doing On My Site?
I run an ecommerce site and am keep to increase the time on site and reduce bounce rate. I have had some good results from writing good articles and advertising them on Outbrain and Twitter; both of these metrics have improved. However, I am wondering if Google will see this. Clearly if people land on the pages from the SERPS and return there they will know what is happening but will they know if people get there from an advert?

How to rank well on 2 keywords - 2 separate pages or 1 combined page
Hi, I have a website about allergy. We ar developing new content, and through keyword research I have discovered that "dog allergy" and "cat allergy" are both very common searches. However, the cause, and symtoms are very alike for these 2 types of allergy so it would make sense to combine the two allergies on one page. So my question is: What do I choose to increase my chances to ranke the best I can for both "cat allergy", and "dog allergy"? Should I develop 2 separate pages for cat & dog allergy or should I do a combined page? (We would of course review the texts so no duplicate content/text would be used if we chose to have 2 pages) I would be so greatful for your advice!! Kind regards, Jeanette

Same keyword for almost same content
Hi all! my site deals with a concept called "motivation" in two different categories: motivation for teachers (related to kids) and motivation for parents (related to kids all well). These two categories (in different pages and in different menus) deals with the concept through different perspectives. BUT the keyword to optimize the pages is the same. Due to the structure of the web I've been given I am in this position. I can't redesign the web (I'm not allowed to do it). Any solution related to the keyword? Should I maybe optimize one page with the keyword and in this page have a link to the other not-optimzed page?Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.

Moving content from one site to another
I have a couple established, content rich sites with some content that I would like to move over to a new site. My question is what steps I need to take to ensure that neither my older sites nor newer sites are penalized for duplicate content. The purpose for moving the content is to add some depth to the new site for users, as well as possibly optimize it all for SEO. There is a fair amount of content involved, about 50 posts and pages per site, so I'd like to know if the potential problem with duplicate content might be serious enough that I should think twice. What do you recommend?

Competitor Out Ranks My Site
Hi This is my first question on SEOMoz and I am confused how a competitor can out rank me for a local search term SEO Tamworth. I have a higher Page Authority, Domain Authority, Number of links etc.. Would this be down to the quality of the links to my site or could it be down to the structure. I score an A for SEO on the on page analysis. Regards James

Title Keyword Question
I'm writing up keywords for new pages on a website. There are a number of variations on the way we can say what we're looking for, and I don't want to post the specific keywords but I'll give an example using fruits. Let's say I want to optimize for Granny Smith apples, McIntosh apples, Jonathan apples, etc. Could my title be Apples - Granny Smith, McIntosh, Jonathan and my page will come up when someone searchs "Granny Smith apples" or "McIntosh apples" etc. or do the words have to be repeated in order. Obviously I will also be repeating these in the description and on the page I'm optimizing. Thanks!
