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
Dan

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.

Usage of keywords in URL
Hi everyone, I'm trying to optimize our website and I'm not sure what's ideal for our URL structure. We have two products: one of them is focused on B2C & the other one on B2B.
Technical SEO | | Klouwers
Our homepage is focused on the B2C product. For our B2B product, I'm not sure what's ideal. The URL for our 'homepage' of the B2B product is ourdomain.com/software. We have different target groups for our B2B software, and therefore different pages on our website. Which URL would be best to use for the keyword personal trainer software?
1. ourdomain.com/software/personal-trainer-software
2. ourdomain.com/software/personal-trainer0 -

Keyword targeting by page, site, or both?
Hi, We recently discovered that a product we sell has a misnomer, and that a ton of people take to Google and use variations of that misnomer while trying to find us. Unfortunately we don't rank in Google for this keyword, and its costing us thousands in lost sales. I've been slowly building the misnomer into the content of our site in hopes that the spiders will pick up on it. It has started to work in the last couple weeks, but we're nowhere near the top (and we are #1 and #2 for most of our other prime keywords.) The site which sells the product is specialized, and only sells this specific product (in different models, but they're all the same product essentially.) With that in mind, I'm trying to figure out the best way to attack a new keyword. I know that normally you would dedicate a specific page (in an eCommerce store probably that product's own page) to employ your SEO tactics. However, because this site specializes in this product and offers different models and information about it I'm confused about the best approach. Does Google take into consideration the entire site a s whole, or are the pages within my site competing against each other for rank?

Any way around buying hosting for an old domain to 301 redirect to a new domain?
Howdy. I have just read this QA thread, so I think I have my answer. But I'm going to ask anyway! Basically DomainA.com is being retired, and DomainB.com is going to be launched. We're going to have to redirect numerous URLs from DomainA.com to DomainB.com. I think the way to go about this is to continue paying for hosting for DomainA.com, serving a .htaccess from that hosting account, and then hosting DomainB.com separately. Anybody know of a way to avoid paying for hosting a .htaccess file on DomainA.com? Thanks!

Rich snippets
Hi Everyone, Hope you can help me out. We have customer reviews on our product pages and are also ranking highly for those keywords for those product pages. To improve our CTR for those keywords I think to show those reviews with organic results using rich snippets would be a good way of improving CTR. I have asked my programmer to integrate this, which he came back and said after the rich snippets have been integrated we then have to ask Google to integrate it in their search results, is this true? I hope this makes sense. Kind Regards

Moving domain.com to subdomain.domain.com
Hi, I like to do something, but first like to take some opinions from seomoz. My question is: 1. I have a domain: brandtrends.com and i like to move this from brandtrends.com to trends.brand.com because: brandtrends.com is on the position #15 on the second page of SERP for my "brand" keyword. I like to move it under trends.brand.com but all inbound-links are @brandtrends.com What do you thing, if i move permanently 301 from brandtrends.com to trends.brand.com does it rank under brand.com on the 1st page of SERP..? like to rank trends.brand.com under brand.com on results page...!!! I have the backlinks of brandtrends.com on my hands too, should i leave the inbound links @brandtrends.com and the new ones i build with trends.brand.com or should i change the inbound links from brandtrends.com to trends.brand.com Hope you got it! THanks
