Thank you for your answers. yes the sit speed has been affected just a hair - so that TTFB has gone down from 0.45 seconds to about 0.6 seconds - oscillates between A and B (mostly B) in one of the testing sites.

Can an external firewall affect rankings?
For security reasons we are now routing traffic through an external firewall cum CDN. Our server and domain IPs remain the same, but any request is routed through an external IP, which then forwards the traffic.
Would our rankings be affected because of IP changes?
Thanks

RE: Question about SEO and domains
So If I have two domains
MAINSITE and SPECIALIZED-SITE
And MAINSITE has a page that goes MAINSITE/SPECIALIZED-PRODUCT
How do I redirect SPECIALIZED-SITE to a particular page on MAINSITE?
Do I just point to a special page for the subdomain (like MAINSITE/SPECIALIZED-PRODUCT/index.html) in cpanel? We use cpanel
Thanks very much

RE: Question about SEO and domains
Further comment - I am not trying to fool google. But trying to make the case that if you are looking for ChairtypeA - you would probably look for a website by that name. In a sense it would be like creating a website for iphone5s and another one for iphone6 but both in some way relate to apple.

RE: Question about SEO and domains
Thank you for your answer.
In your opinion - how would I get serious value out of the very specific domain names we have that are related to sub categories or specific products (that are all available on the main site)?
Thanks

Question about SEO and domains
Hello,
Over time we have purchased many domain names that relate to our business.
Let us say we sell chairs of type A, chairs of type B, Tables of Type C etc. We also have a main web site (main domain) which has been functioning for many years and is ranked well but not great.
Since we have domain chairtypeA.com and chairtypeB.com I was thinking of putting them to good use as follows.
STRATEGY A
a) Create the domain as a parallel domain but is mainly informational - it talks about chair type A, its history, what to look for etc. It has the same IP address as main domain
b) Have all the links on the page be directly linked to the MAIN site- so if you are on page for ChairtypeA and want to see it in a set you just click a link and it takes you to the main site.
c) The look and feel of the ChairtypeA site is exactly the same as the main site - in fact except for the Heading, title and content the whole framework is from the main site.
My hope is that if people are looking for chairtypeA, we would rank and attract customers. Plus it would use up some of the domain names we have purchased.
THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE (Strategy B) is
a) Create a domain for chairtypeA parallel to main domain (same IP address)
b) redirect it to subfolder in main domain
c) refer to the pages also as maindomain/chairtypeA (here is where it is no longer purely parallel)
I have 3 objectives
a) Use my purchased domain names
b) Focus on certain products (liek ChairtypeA)
c) Overall increase visibility and ranking
Please give me any feedback which indicates whether Strategy A or Strategy B is more effective, or if any has negative consequences. Or you could suggest Strategy C - a completely new approach.
Thanks

Our urls for adwords are slightly different from current urls presented on site (weused htaccess to help create shorter urls). How important is it that the adwords url match the sitemap url for keywords on those pages?
Hello,
We have dynamic urls that we have made into short urls through htaccess and code manipulation. Some of our adwords urls are different from our page urls - for example
a) Latest version of page www.abc.com/x-y-z.html
b) Previous version of url www.abc.com/x+y+z.html
c) raw original version www.abc.com/yyy/zzz?category=X&Product-code=Y etc etc.
Would my ranking for keywords on the page improve if I diligently made all of them the same?
They all go to the same page even now, and no 404 errors or anything.
Thanks
Sam
