Should I Host New Blog On Different Server?
-
I am planning on starting a new blog focused on a very specific subject that is related to my current Lead Generation website. I am doing this because I want to build rankings for this site and have it link back to my Lead Generation website to increase its rankings (this is the main purpose). My question is do I need to host it on another server so Google will not see it as having the same IP or Subnet? Note: I already have one blog linked to my Lead Generation website under the same domain. This new blog would be linked to an entirely different domain.

I don't think you can out smart Google by putting websites on various sub nets for hosting, you really need to think about all levels how Google can track for example who is data, GA tracking codes, Adsense ID codes and thing that can link up the dots to show it is a mini net.
If you have a blog and the same site my advice is to host it all on one domain, sure enough you can host the site on 2 separate websites if you are using different TLD's and want to GEO target your website.

I really like Eric Ward and have used his services more than once and recommend him.
However, I would still place all of my topic-related content on a single site. Any links that are attracted to that content will then hit your primary domain and all of their value will strengthen it.
If you place the content on a satellite domain then the links that hit it will mainly help the satellite domain and only a tiny fraction of their value will help power the primary domain.
In my opinion it only makes sense to build a satellite site after your primary domain completely dominates your SERPs and then you use links from the primary domain to power the satellite site.

Really? I actually got the idea from a post by Eric Ward http://www.ericward.com/leglinkpop.html (it is listed as the Complete Strategy #1). I was thinking if I create another website I could talk about more subjective material, link to competitors, take guest posts, etc, all things that I can't do on my current site. Primarily though, I was thinking that I could ask for a link exchange where I link to someone from the new website and they link to me at my Lead Generation Website. What do you think?

I think that you will have much much better results by posting all of your content on the same domain.

Will Regularly Adding New Blog Posts Improve Ranking?
We have added very little new website content in the last year. Our domain is www.metro-manhattan.com. Would adding a brand-new blog post once a week help improve our ranking in Google? A few years ago adding new content would've had quickly had a positive effect. Is that still the case? Or should we focus content creation resources in other areas such as social media? Thanks, Alan

Best server-side sitemap generators
I've been looking into sitemap generators recently and have got a good knowledge of what creating a sitemap for a small website of below 500 URLs involves. I have successfully generated a sitemap for a very small site, but I’m trying to work out the best way of crawling a large site with millions of URLs. I’ve decided that the best way to crawl such a large number of URLs is to use a server side sitemap, but this is an area that doesn’t seem to be covered in detail on SEO blogs / forums. Could anyone recommend a good server side sitemap generator? What do you think of the automated offerings from Google and Bing? I’ve found a list of server side sitemap generators from Google, but I can’t see any way to choose between them. I realise that a lot will depend on the type of technologies we use server side, but I'm afraid that I don't know them at this time.

Duplicate content on sites from different countries
Hi, we have a client who currently has a lot of duplicate content with their UK and US website. Both websites are geographically targeted (via google webmaster tools) to their specific location and have the appropriate local domain extension. Is having duplicate content a major issue, since they are in two different countries and geographic regions of the world? Any statement from Google about this? Regards, Bill

Guest Blogging Funny Problem!
Well it made me laugh and then cry a little after anyway. I have a keyword which is ranking page 1 position 7, I created a really nice article with content relevant to the keyword maybe around 600 words. I spent maybe half hour researching blogs on myblogguest looking for one that was based in the same country, had really good mozbar stats, even checked out how quickly other posts got indexed. I put 2 anchor text links in the article and managed to get the blogger to post the article. Next day checked the rankings and the post on the blog is now position 7, and has knocked me to position 8. I'm tempted to ask the blogger to change the title tag not to include my targeted keyword. Anyone got an advice on this?

We are a small startup company looking at starting a complaints website in India having user generated content(complaints) . Would some one help me to draw overall strategies on how we can achieve good traffic over one year. We realise that there is no magic wand to improve positions in search ranking for a site which hosts user generated content esp. since we dont know what key words to target. In this context i was looking form some expert suggestion on how we can go ahead with the SEO for the next 1 year .. We are open to paying for the services if you prove that you have the required experience . Otherwise any suggestions from other who have experience in such situations are welcome ...
