3 (similar) keywords - 3 (similar) domains - best strategy?
-
Hi all!
I've got head scratcher here, your input would be super valuable!
We have these 3 exact match domains.
FloatTank.ca
IsolationTank.ca
SensoryDeprivationTank.caThe domains are all 3 different ways of saying the exact same thing - and each of the 3 keywords have roughly the same amount of traffic.
Right now we are just providing information on Float Tanks / Isolation Tanks / Sensory Deprivation Tanks, their benefits are and how to use them, where to find a location etc.
Do you have any strategies or advice considering the current domains and the points below?
-
The content on each site would be VERY SIMILAR, as they are all talking about the same thing, "floating". Any suggestions for this?
-
We want to (sometime in the near future) create a branded website. ie. FloatNation.ca in which we rank for all 3 of the above terms.
-
Should we spin content for each site, and then create a 301 down the road to our main domain?
Your input is appreciated!
All the best,
Bright. -

There are sites that allow you to create low level infographics or you can outsource to some freelance designer this will cost you less as compare to hire a designer inhouse.
you have to have some budget for it but at the end of the day the results can be great!

Hi Irving,
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Spinning is bad, got it! We won't do it
At the moment (until we create our own Float Studio) we plan on providing information and selling products that might relate to Float Tanks. ie. Recommended books, Epsom salt (a key component of the health benefits associate with floatation tanks) and perhaps other items which relate well to the "new age" demographic.
Thoughts?

Hi Moosa,
Thanks kindly for your input!
This is an interesting strategy - I like how each site would present the same information in different formats, smart!
We can do the blog no problem, and we can do the Q&A Site too, but an infographics site would be too resource intensive. Any suggestions if we don't have the resources to create Infographics?
Best,
Bright. -
Spinning the content is crap but writing unique content for each is ideal. If you can keep all three sites separate you can target and probably rank all three on the first page of google.ca for all three keywords since competition should be relatively low in ca.
Are you going to be selling advertising or products on these sites in the near future? Depending on how you monetize would determine what type of content works best for them. Need to define that first.

This is tough but at least you people are in a super ideal state where you have all the domains J
Ok, I think the idea of spinning the content is rubbish so don’t ever try that!
I think what you can do with these 3 domains is to use one as a blog and one is for images (infographics) and last is for community interaction.
- Blog: You are already sharing the information; all you have to do is to continue doing the same thing without coping the same or relatively similar information on other domains.
- Infographics: On 2<sup>nd</sup> domain try to design infographics and make it go live there, this will allow you to get tons of links as well as the audience who love information within images.
- QnA Section: Try to use the 3<sup>rd</sup> domain as a QnA section where people can ask and answer questions. This will help the community to stay around your brand and when you company with a brand website this three websites will help you generate lots of traffic and sales at the same time.
Hope this helps!

A Solution to Keywords Being Grouped in Google Keyword Planner
Hi guys, I am trying to get search traffic for a list of keywords which I put together a few years ago for one of my clients, this was before Google made changes to their Keyword Planner. When I am adding the list into Google Keyword Planner it is "grouping" a number of the keywords/phrases together, and therefore removing 13 of the keywords from the original list of 59 keywords. Is there a way around this so I can get search volume for the original list, and not the cut down one? I am specifically using Google Keyword Planner as I want to get search volume for a number of specific locations in the UK. Any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jack.

How reliable is GWT's keyword data & what is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for?
I have been monitoring the query data (keywords, average position, CTR, etc.) in GWT, but sometimes the ranking data seems off. I filter the dates for the past week, so it is the most recent. I manually check some of the rankings and they are way off. Does anyone have feedback on this? If you have access to multiple domain data, that would be great. What is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for? I have also used keywordspy, and that is off too!

What's the best keyword tool for discovering regional/metropolitan area keywords?
Generally I use the Google Keyword Tool for my keyword research, but given the fact that the data is either country specific or global, I was wondering what others use for regional/dma-specific keyword discovery. Regional traffic is very important to my site, so I'm hoping to find a tool that I can use to find keywords germane to my audience.

Keyword Difficulty Tool
Hello, I've been using the above more and more - with some great results. I have just run a report for a brand term and that brand has the new style sitelinks - 12 in total. So the output from the Keyword Difficulty Tool is focussed solely on the main url and then 9 sitelinks, rather than 10 different domains. Is there anyway around this? What do people think I should do? Is it: a) ok to use the output or b) because the output is skewed to one domain is the data not robust enough or... c) something else?? Thanks Alex
