Keyword rich domains
-
Hi,
Our site is beingthere.com.au
We are in the business of video conferencing in Australia.
I was wondering if there would be any benefit of purchasing keyword rich domains such as
www.video streaming.net.au
What would be the benefit(s)?
And
How would I go about using these domains to maximise SEO benefit?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Guys,
I just registered on www.videoconferencing.com.au directory
http://www.videoconferencing.com.au/beingthere-video-conferencing-australia/
Hopefully this will assist with ranking for 'video conferencing'
Thanks for all your help

Don't underestimate the money-making ability of an info site.
-
I agree with Dignan. You will need to give up beingthere.com.au and replace it with videoconferencing.com.au.
Is there any other way of using these URLs to boost SERP for the 'video conferencing' keyword?
Not in any way that I think will work effectively.
-
Yes you would change it, but you would most likely do a 301 redirect from the old site to the new site so you do not lose pagerank.

Thanks dignan99

Thanks Egol,
Can you please confirm I am correct in my understanding, if I were to purchase any of these keyword rich domains i would need to change the root URL of our site to www.videoconferencing.com.au rather than beingthere.com.au?
Is there any other way of using these URLs to boost SERP for the 'video conferencing' keyword?
thanks

HI Dan,
The only way there would be value in purchasing those, IMHO, is if you had a stellar piece or hardware or software that may have a chance at dominating the industry. An informational site would not be worth the potential high cost of such ketyword rich domains, as software or hardware companies that dominate them have no need for this.
The keyword rich domain name ship has already sailed.
-
I would be getting in touch with them right away. At least before they see this thread.
They will probably want a mint for those domains but if you know what to do with them they could be really valuable.
-
I Agree with Egol, and actually http://www.videoconference.com.au/ and http://www.videoconferencing.com.au/ are both parked domains and probably for sale. Check http://whois.domaintools.com for owner details.

Those would probably be a little easier to rank for exact match keywords. However, the problem will be lots of people will forget about the .net and type .com. That might not sound like a big deal, however, the more successful your business becomes the more traffic and money you will loose to the guy who owns the .com.
If you are serious about this business try to get the .com. It might cost thousands but you will lose that much over time. Or, attack with your current domain which sounds brandable.

Pages Fighting Over Keywords
Hi Guys, Just after some general advice. Since manipulation of keywords through links is no longer a feasible way of ranking these days, I was wondering how people got round the issue of pages bouncing for the same keyword or Google deciding that a blog post is a better signal rather than your service page. For instance if you are doing local and national search, how do you stop the local keywords ranking for national pages, without diluting the local signals. I have some ideas:- stronger internal linking to the page review content But obviously redirects or canonical won't be a good solution as I still want these pages to exist in their own right. Regards Neil

How many keywords should I target?
Hi there I'm looking for advice from the community on how many keywords to target. What are the pros and cons of: focussing on the 40 keywords that we rank for already, with specific attention paid to those where we are on pages 2-5. Spread our link building / onsite optimisation work a little further - and continue to target all 280 keywords on our list as and when they are appropriate to target. I'd love to hear what strategies people recommend. Thanks

Trouble making up a keyword map
I’m starting my first blog and I’m in the phase of making a keyword map. Now I’m not sure about how it done and if it is done right. I would be thankfull if you’d be so kind to check it out and tell me if it’s good or not and what should change. PM me if you wanna help me, I'll send out the excel file. P.S.S.: For those who help out, don’t mind the almost empty transactional column, ignore that, just advice on how it is ordered.

Sub-domains for keyword targeting? (specific example question)
Hey everyone, I have a question I believe is interesting and may help others as well. Our competitor heavily (over 100-200) uses sub-domains to rank in the search engines... and is doing quite well. What's strange, however, is that all of these sub-domains are just archives -- they're 100% duplicate content! An example can be seen here where they just have a bunch of relevant posts archived with excerpts. How is this ranking so well? Many of them are top 5 for keywords in the 100k+ range. In fact their #1 source of traffic is SEO for many of the pages. As an added question: is this effective if you were to actually have a quality/non-duplicate page? Thanks! Loving this community.

External Links from own domain
Hi all, I have a very weird question about external links to our site from our own domain. According to GWMT we have 603,404,378 links from our own domain to our domain (see screen 1) We noticed when we drilled down that this is from disabled sub-domains like m.jump.co.za. In the past we used to redirect all traffic from sub-domains to our primary www domain. But it seems that for some time in the past that google had access to crawl some of our sub-domains, but in december 2010 we fixed this so that all sub-domain traffic redirects (301) to our primary domain. Example http://m.jump.co.za/search/ipod/ redirected to http://www.jump.co.za/search/ipod/ The weird part is that the number of external links kept on growing and is now sitting on a massive number. On 8 April 2011 we took a different approach and we created a landing page for m.jump.co.za and all other requests generated 404 errors. We added all the directories to the robots.txt and we also manually removed all the directories from GWMT. Now 3 weeks later, and the number of external links just keeps on growing: Here is some stats: 11-Apr-11 - 543 747 534 12-Apr-11 - 554 066 716 13-Apr-11 - 554 066 716 14-Apr-11 - 554 066 716 15-Apr-11 - 521 528 014 16-Apr-11 - 515 098 895 17-Apr-11 - 515 098 895 18-Apr-11 - 515 098 895 19-Apr-11 - 520 404 181 20-Apr-11 - 520 404 181 21-Apr-11 - 520 404 181 26-Apr-11 - 520 404 181 27-Apr-11 - 520 404 181 28-Apr-11 - 603 404 378 I am now thinking of cleaning the robots.txt and re-including all the excluded directories from GWMT and to see if google will be able to get rid of all these links. What do you think is the best solution to get rid of all these invalid pages. moz1.PNG moz2.PNG moz3.PNG
