4 sites - 4 keyword sets?
-
Hi,
I have 4 domains and 4 keyword sets i.e.
- penny stocks
- mutual funds
- stocks
- day trading
My question is: what is the better approach:
-
Have each site around one set e.g. everything about "penny stocks"
- Site A - penny stocks
- Site B - mutual funds
- Site C - stocks
- Site D - day trading
-
Create 4 categories in each website about each set of keywords?
- Site A - penny stocks | mutual funds | stocks | day trading
- and the same..
Thank you,
Alex

Thanks cabbagetoe,
Yes having one website would make sense but the client I work for already has 4 sites so I'm not sure what is the best solution for him at this point.
2 websites are almost ready, the other 2 just the domains...

Hi Alex
Option 2 would have the benefit that you could potentially occupy 4 spots in the first page of the search results for each keyword phrase. You would need to be careful to ensure no duplicate content across the domains and also be very careful when interlinking.
To throw another option in there why not just have one site so your link building efforts are not spread across 4 properties?

The aim is to get as many people interested in the penny stock market to sign up. Can't talk about the business model though (not sure this is so important anyway.)
The idea is that people interesting in mutual funds might be also interested in the penny stocks...and so on.
I hope I answered your question,
Alex

Cant say without knowing what the sites are meant to achieve - why do they exist, how do they monetise?
-
The more relevant the better so option 1.

Should i 301 redirect my blog to the respective site or just 404 all the blog pages?
Hi guys, We plan to close down our blog, which is a subdomain to our anchor site. I need advice on how to keep the link juice and its SEO value. Is it better to 301 redirect the blog to the homepage of our site, or just 404 all the pages of the blog? Thanks

How to best host a blog - standalone or on the site?
HI We are redesiging our site currently - at the moment we have a low key blog on the site which is pretty well hidden (to be changed with redesign) but is hosted as brand.com/blog name. I have been advised it might be a good idea on relaunch to have the blog as a standalone blog linking back to our main site but also having a graphic on the site that promotes the blog. The blog does not currently have the same name as the website so would work as a standalone site but I understand it would not have any seo benefits from the original site. I have seen on previous posts here that the best practise is domain.com/blog but wondered if anyone thought different? Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks, Penny

I want to swop a site to an existing domain. i.e. it was http://A.com and now want it to be B.com...please help
The company I have started working for as two main websites. The main website (A) is out of date and not very functional but has the companies prime domain name. The other site (B) has their ecommerce engine. I'd like to make B the prime site i.e. take over A's domain name. Huge warning bells are going off regarding the SEO of this decision. Any advice or suggestions in how to go about this without destroying the company's SEO would be greatly valued.

Same content on site blog as a separate blog. Will unpublishing on one blog evade duplicate content issues?
I just discovered my client was posting the same content as the site I'm working on for him on a separate blog. I don't want to run into duplicate content issues. Both are Wordpress sites. Will it suffice to simply unpublish duplicate entries on the other blog and leave the posts as drafts?

Any article sites that actually still rank welll?
Hi All! After the havoc of Panda and Penguin - are there any article sites that still rank decently for the articles within? I'm not talking about using articles to get backlinks - I want to attract visitors to the articles themselves because of the message within the article. Yes, I know that for lots of reasons my own blog would be better. In addition to that, if you want to spread the message - which sites are recommended? Thanks! Aviva

Your Site and Google News Question
My site has been in Google News for about 3 years. Over the weekend, I received this message from Google Hi John, We periodically review news sources, to ensure Google News offers a high quality experience for our users. When we reviewed your site, mainstreetmonroe.com, we found that we can no longer include it in Google News at this time. We reviewed your site and are unable to include it in Google News at this time. We can't include sites that don't have a formal editorial-review process for submitted content. If this exists on your site, please let us know where and we'll be happy to review your site again. Mainstreetmonroe is scheduled to be removed from Google News for a period of at least 30 days. After this 30-day period has elapsed, you can re-apply for inclusion in Google News provided your site meets our guidelines. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. Please note that you'll still be able to find your site in Google Web Search and other Google services. Thanks for your interest in Google News. Regards, The Google News Team What exactly do they mean? I submitted my website news section, but they have been displaying our forum area in the news too. I think the forum is what GN is talking about. What is the best way to fix this problem? Move the forum to a subdomain?
