Is it better to develop a good keyword I found on a new page on an established website or make a new site?
-
So I found a keyword that I want to go after, it gets over 30k searches a month, has a 100% CTR and has a difficulty of 42. Now my question is would it be better to build a page on our already established site (DA of 46) since the site and keyword are both related. Or would it be better to get a domain of that keyword and build a small site about it?
The .com is taken but I could get a .co or .us just not sure if its worth making a new site or if I should just build a page on my current site about it.

Hi Nigel,
obviously the content shouldn't be the same. There are many things to say about each topic, or many ways to say similar things without saying the same...

Pau - Doing both is not correct - why would he out link to a new domain? That would split the content across two sites site, one established and one new. It would damage both sites having the same content on two different pages cross-site.

Hi
It is 100x better to add this to an existing site. If you start again it can take a year to properly establish a completely new site with no DA. Not to mention the upkeep and maintenance of a new website!
This is a no-brainer especially if the topics are related. Just make sure there are no other pages on your site which crossover with this keyword otherwise you may not achieve teh rankings you expect. If you do it properly it could be ranking within a week.
I hope this helps
Regards Nigel

Hi americancasinoguide,
you also can do both things, build and page on your site, and put in that page a backlink to your new domain.
About the importance of the keyword in the domain I thought that I was not important since some years ago, but I saw on a very interesting Semrush study from June 2017 (https://es.semrush.com/ranking-factors/) that all the important factors in these days are less important for the first position, because Google places much times in the first position a less popular site than others, but with a domain or brand that matches with de search made.
So, you have a very good base to go with your old domain, but I wouldn't discard to make a new one, and give the link juice of your old domain to your new one with a backlink placed in the most topic-related page.
Hope it helps!

thanks guys!

Hi;
I agree with Matt. It will take some time to get a new site up to a DA of 42, and the DA plays a meaningful role in your SERP. A new page with long form content about the desired keyword is the best place to start.
Good Luck

From what I have seen and read, the keyword in the domain name is less important these days. I would use the already established site that is topically relevant. Here's a good WBF that might help: https://youtu.be/8r4Z3PizZ9g

What are the SEO implications of high quality backlinks from US-based websites to UK-based websites?
Hi everyone, quick question I hope someone could help me with: We're representing a client based in the UK. As part of their overall strategy we've been linkbuilding. At the moment, about 80/90% of the links we've gained come from UK-based sites, with 10/20% coming from US-based websites. The US based websites are very good (think New York Times and genuine, relevant blogs with good readerships). An external search analyst/consultant has contacted the client to say that the US links will be harming the site, because the links are from websites in the US and not the UK. We believe that if 80/90% of the links were from the US this could indeed cause harm as it could indicate to search engines that our client is in the US when it's not (which might compromise their chance of ranking in .co.uk versions of search engines) however because it's only 10/20%, and because the linking sites are very good, we believe that they will getting all of the benefits of the positive metrics without any meaningful negatives. We just wanted to get a few opinions on this to see if people think that we're mistaken, and would be glad to hear any opinions contrary to our own.

Is are Scoopon type sites a good place to get a link?
We have noticed that our competitors have links with equality from sites like this: http://www.groupon.com.au/ Scoopon type sites like this can be an effective way to generate sales for a business, I'm just wondering if these types of sites also have added value for SEO as sites like these do have a strong Domain Authority? Any thoughts on this subject would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I have created 5 model specific blog sites which deliver links to my core site.
I post about 500 words of unique relevant content weekly to each model blog site. Each week, seo smartlinks delivers keyword anchor text links to my core site with a 3% keyword density. I have been doing this for 3 months and my core site traffic is stagnant or slightly down. Is this a good practice since its relevant content, or am I writing for nothing? Also, am I in danger of over optimized anchor text?

More "new" root domains or more pages on older domains?
I have been slowly building links via personal/professional networking, press from art shows, blogging, and such. I work with several non related domains & local blogs & press outlets, it is pretty easy for me to add a few new pages of content along with text links. Or should I just concentrate on getting links from totally "new" domains that have never linked to me before?

SEOs and web developers frequently leave links to their site in the footer of their clients' sites. Does this negatively impact the site with the links?
Does this provide any SEO value to the receiving site? Has anyone experienced problems doing this?

Using parked domain page to get 50k+ of low quality links, good idea?
Hi all, I'm managing the seo for a hosting company. We have a lot of parked domains with a parked domain page. This will now be updated to promote our products. When this page is updated it will give 50k+ of low quality links to specific pages almost overnight. We curently don't have a very good seo ranking for our keywords, so there is little risk on the downside in the short term. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about this? Some alternatives off the top of my head: 1. get the page up an focus all the link equity on relevant pages with keywords in anchor text 2. add noindex / nofollowto all pages or only part of them to avoid puishment 3. add noindex / to the majority of the pages and "release" a percentage every week or so to avoid a "link bomb" Thanks for any and all input!
