Hub technique
-
Hi Everyone,
I wonder what do you think about the HUB technique:
#1. You make one post/page with most info about your targeted key-phrase and link to it from all other posts related to that key-phrase OR
#2. In Wp for example you make a Category called Your-Key-Phrase and use the Category Description to add some useful content key-phrase related, and post all articles related to that key-phrase under that category so that when viewed the category at say: domain.com/category-key-phrase/ you see the category description followed by all the articles (excerpts) in that category.
So, what do you think works best?
Thank you,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Either option has a fine chance of ranking well.
It's going to depend on what type of keyword you are targeting. If I'm searching for something broad and informational, a category page seems like a nice spot to land. If I'm searching for something more specific, I want to land on the page with the actual information I'm looking for, not on a page of results.
You should decide what will work best for your site. Do you plan on writing a lot of content regularly? If so, you might want to use the category method. If not, perhaps you should just make one page, as rich and useful as possible and try to get that one to rank.

Google will index us, but Bing won't. Why?
Bing is crawling our site, but not indexing it, and we cannot figure out why -- plus it's being indexed fine in Google. Any ideas on what the issue with Bing might be? Here's are some details to let you know what we've already checked/established: We have 4 301’s and the rest of our site checks out We’ve already established our Robots is ok, and that we are fixing our site map/it's in fine shape We do not see anything blocking bingbot access to the site There is no varnish or any load balancers, so nothing on that end that would be blocking the access We also don't see any rules in the apache or the .htaccess config that would be blocking the access

Purchasing a domain to redirect to a new domain (note same industry) - Black hat or White hat technique?
Hi Everyone, Ok so here is my question. I have a client who sells gourmet tea and gourmet spices. She has a culinary blog. There is a culinary blog that just posted that the website will be shut down in the near future. It has 100% white hat links. Would it be considered black hat to buy the domain and redirect it to my clients blog which is also a culinary blog? I would really like to ask Matt Cutts this question. Does anyone know how to send him questions? Thanks Carla
