Multiply Sites / Back Links / i.p Address ?
-
Hi
We are building a business that has multiple locations in multiple cities in the UK. We want to build a network of geographical based websites for each location / city we have a office in that we service.
We are going to build about 50 sites (Standalone on their own domain) to cover all the main cities, and one main company site. The idea with the 50 x sites is to benefit from google local searches and a local location.
With the 50 x sites they would all back link to the main website, so would they need to all be on seperate i.p address and hosting to get the back link to count? or can they be all hosted on the same i.p address? Obviously it would be useful to get 50 x back links from relevant sites we are just trying to work out the best to way to do this.
Thanks for any advice

Hi
We will also have one site doing what you have suggested, but we built one local site in our city while we worked on the business plan for the rest. That site has been live for 6 months and as we used the location for google local business and verified it our local site gets about 500 unique visitors a week from the local area (for free) which gives that location more than enough business. To get the same from adwords would cost £175 a week. We wanted to replicate this covering the country.
As for the updates, Wordpress Multisite you can set up a master site that can propagate all the changes into the others automatically

Why not have just one site, with a page/folder for each city, and all of the strength can go into that one site? Also saves you from having to maintain over fifty sites each time there's a software update, or something needs to be changed.

Back linking to t foreign sites
One of our major competitors seems to be linking to an Asian speaking website that has a blog/product review formant. I was wondering how they are achieving this. Are there any non English /Asian sites worth submitting to and what is the best way to go about this if English is the only language you speak! And of course is it worth while doing this from an SEO perspective.

I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn.
