Domain Redirection
-
hi all - question we seem to see people ranking better naturally when they have the seo term in their title.
Say we were optimising for "red buses". Our company was called Diamond
we are using Diamond.co and have a DA of 32 (Page Title Diamond Red Buses | Bla)
Should we buy diamondredbuses.co.uk ? Is it best to continue on our domain and redirect? Or move domains? How much would it affect?

Question we seem to see people ranking better naturally when they have the SEO term in their title. That's right a basic on-page optimization rule say that you need to have your main keyword in Title, Meta Description, URL and also on the content
Say we were optimizing for "red buses". Our company was called Diamond. We are using Diamond.co and have a DA of 32 (Page Title Diamond Red Buses | Bla). Primary Keyword - Secondary Keyword -Brand Name
**Should we buy diamondredbuses.co.uk? Is it best to continue on our domain and redirect? Or move domains? How much would it affect? ** Migrate your website is not a simple task even worst if you have a website with traffic and rankings. In fact is a risky process if you don't know what are you doing. So keep your website as it is.

Hi there,
No, you should not buy that domain. It will not help you at all.
Besides worrying about this, focus on creating a hell of a content and bringing the best experience for users.Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Redirect closing established site to another established site.
We have 2 ecommerce websites with duplicate product/category content that have been around for years. "Site A" since 2004 and "Site B" since 2011. "Site B" doesn't generate many sells and we want to close the site in fear that it may look spammy to google and since we don't want to upkeep the site. Couple questions:

1. Is it possible that "Site B" has damaged "Site A" with google since they are so similar?
2. Can i 301 redirect all of "Site B" to "Site A" without hurting "Site A"?
3. If question 2 is ok, should i use the "Change of Address" tool in google webmaster tools to point "Site B" to "Site A"? Thanks!0 -

How long is too long for domain URL length?
I noticed one of the negatively correlated ranking factors was length of URL. I'm building a page from scratch, we are trying to rank for 'Minneapolis Fitness' and 'Minneapolis Massage'. Is www.minnnepolismassageandfitness.com just ridiculously long? Or does the exact match outweigh the penalty for URL length?
