3 Different Websites but Same Keywords
-
One of my client targeting same (5 Keywords) for 3 sites.
Domain & Web Hosting is same for 3 sites.
Site A - 50.72.134.29
Site B - 50.72.140.227
Site C- 50.72.19.70Some time ago, ranking dropped - but don't know if it is because on above things?
Is it OK? What is the best way to target same keywords for 3 different sites.

I'd personally say yes, b/c other SEO geeks could look that up and tell immediately. In practice, I see people do this and it works. The key - thinking as if some real human looks at these sites - is that the content be unique. If you are just creating 3 sites targeting the same keywords but are unique in their own way, then what's wrong with that? Nothing. If I was an attorney then I'd seriously have issues, but I don't think it matters that much if you aren't black hatting your link building.

Thank you very much for your suggestion, Is it risky/spam if all 3 sites are hosted/registered on same hosting and by same person(same name and address), targeting same keywords but everything is unique as I mentioned above.
-
That's easy then. Of course. Technically you see this on every search result... period. Every site there is somehow ranking for the same keywords. Real estate you see this all the time. Do a search for [Your City] Real Estate or "Homes" and you'll see 5 to 10 results that have nearly the same content on their landing page.

@thanks and agree with you... but I personally want to know - is it possible to target same keywords for 3 different websites, if each sites is not linking to each other, each have quality/informative content, unique design & different concept etc...

I've used this strategy with real estate in particular. What I did was create a "main" page that was where all my branded and best content went. The other two sites were basically targeting the same search results and keywords but more emphasis was given to the niche or phrase. The black hat way might just be create 3 sites and spin all the content or you could do the following.
For example
Let's say you want to do Atlanta Pest Control with 3 sites
I might have AtlantaPestControl.com be my branded/main. Then my 2 other sites be Pest Control in Atlanta, Pest Control Services in Atlanta, Atlanta Best Pest Control or some variation. So you could easily do this with 5 words.
So for your example I would emphasis "2 of the 5" on each site. This will keep the content focused on being fresh and not just re-spun.

Different breadcrumbs for each productpage
Hi all, I have a question related to the breadcrumb. We have an e-commerce site. There is a difference in the breadcrumb when navigating to our products vs directly browsing to the URL of the product. When you navigate to the product the breadcrumb looks like this (also in the source code):
Technical SEO | | AMAGARD
Home > Sand > Sandpit sand > Bigbag Sandpit sand type xyz When you visit the product URL directly, the breadcrumb looks like this (also in the source code):
Home > Bigbag Sandpit sand type xyz Looks to me that can be confusing for a search engine and that it is unclear what the site's structure/hierarchy is like (and also for a user of course). Is that true? If yes, does this have a big direct negative impact looking at SEO? Thanks in advance!0 -

Keyword Phrase in URL structure
Wondered the best URL structure, to include a major keyword phrase. Our clients' case is that their domain name is not the main keyword. So should we include the keyword phrase in the URL structure to list all their office locations: A - www.website.com/anxiety-treatment/denver/1001
Technical SEO | | ErnieB
or
B - www.website.com/denver/1001 Would this be considered keyword stuffing? We'd like "A" above to rank for keyword phrases related to "anxiety treatment denver", etc.0 -
Website redirects
We consolidated websites. All the international sites have been brought under the roof of our mothership site based in the US: www.crisisprevention.com ... We mapped out all of the URLs and where they should be redirected. However, if someone types in, say, www.crisisprevention.co.uk it redirects to the mothership site, BUT the old URL hangs around no matter what page you navigate to. I feel like it has duplicate content ramifications or worse. I would like opinions on this, so I can take my findings to IT and figure out a solution. Here’s another example: http://www.positive-options.co.uk and another http://www.positive-options.com

Website is not indexed in Google
Hi Guys, I have a problem with a website from a customer. His website is not indexed in Google (except for the homepage). I could not find anything that can possibly be the cause. I already checked the robots.txt, sitemap, and plugins on the website. In the HTML code i also couldn't find anything which makes indexing harder than usual. This is the website i am talking about: http://www.xxxx.nl/ (Dutch) The only thing that i am guessing now is the Google sandbox, but even that is quite unlikely. I hope you guys discover something i could not find! Thanks in advance 🙂

GWMT -- Top URLs for keyword is not the homepage
Hi Everyone - In google webmaster tools, in the Content Keywords section, when I click on a link of all of my top keywords they display a single "Top URLs". The URL which they display is not my homepage but a random category landing page of our e-commerce website. Should I be worried about this? Does this suggest that google is ranking this one URL ahead of our homepage?

URL Structure: When to insert keywords?
I read the SEOmoz beginers guide and it said that it's beneficial to place keywords in the URL as long as you don't overdo it. However, this seems awkward for common pages, such as "Home", "About", "Contact" etc.... I've currently targeted a specific keyword for each page on my site, as follows: Home: "Green Screen" Work: "Greenscreen" About: "Event Photography" Pricing: "Green Screen Photography" Should I rename the URLs as: Home: ...com/green-screen-home.html Work: ...com/greenscreen-work.html About:...com/about-event-photography.html Pricing:...com/green-screen-photography-pricing.html

Internal website search
Hi, I'd like to index dynamically generated - internal website search pages - to Google. A mod rewrite to make the URL strings friendlier might be one way, but as these pages are created on the fly and effectively don't exist till the search keywords are inputted, is it even possible to index them? thanks
