Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,
I was recently put in charge of one website with about 15 extra Domains.

I previously asked if Domain Parking hurts your SEO as duplicate content - and i learned that the answer seems to be yes.

My next logical question is:
What should I do with all those EMD, keyword friendly domains?

As I understand, 301 redirecting the domains to the root domain is a safe bet, but that means the extra domains will point to the original root domain no mater what comes after the forward slash.   So www.ExtraDomain.com/AboutUS will point to www.OriginalDomain.com - is there a way to keep the forward slashes relavent to the content on the original root domain, if so How?

Your Advice, Links, and Comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nikita

Hey Thanks a lot, I read the google doc, and as I'm still new to SEO, I thought I'd ask here to make sure...

I have another Question...
The site was not built by me, and I suppose for SEO purpouses (back in the day) the site is externally linked to it's own content.
let me give you an example:

On the ABOUT page which is www.migrationlawyerS.co.za (Main Domain with letter S)
This page links to www.migrationlawyer.co.za/link (addon domain without an S)

If I 301 redirect www.migrationlawyer.co.za to www.migrationlawyerS.co.za  will I have to restructure the whole linking system on my website (as I understand a 301 will redirect to the root domain only), or is there a way around that?

Thanks,
Nikita

Hello, I have one website (Migration Lawyers) and I have an extra 8 domains Parked so they are basically cloning the content of the site.

so if the main site is:  migrationlawyers.co.za and I have an addon domain  migration-lawyers.com  is that good or bad? is there a proper way to redirect the sites, will redirecting (301) subdomains be more effective?

Thanks for your Input

Hi Keri, I wrote a long reply, then divided it into two posts using the same sentence at the top as introduction.

According to the forum rules is it better to make one reply and then link to it on other posts?

Thanks and please excuse me as I am still very new to this Q&A forum

I've checked out the link, and it seems like a good resource, but form 2010.
Things changed since then.

From the Comments I read, I found this interesting:

"I prefer to combine do and no follow links... it looks natural for google, and a link pointing to my site is never worthless."

I see you figured it out.

Not all text blog editors allow HTML code, so you have to figure it out.

Also maybe get a chrome op firefox extension to see if the link is nofollow.

And Also - Dont forget to vary your Anchor text, as if it is all the same word over and over, google will get suspicious...

so in your case you can have something like:
SEO
SEO SERVICE
i5 Digital
Hertfordshire
SEO Service in Hertfordshire
etc.

I can provide a domain, and share the Analytics with anyone if you would like to try.

I have quite a few parked not used, not doing anything, just laying around.

The reason I ask, is because I open Open Site Explorer and it has a nofollow link there from wikipedia.

So If it has it, it is registered, but yet it is a nofollow link.

Thank you, Im pretty aware of that, and this gives as great practice grounds to discover and learn about SEO.

This is what is so great about this Forum, you can have armatures and pros all in one place!

As we are still on this topic, Keri, you wouldn't happen to know if NoFollow links are at all valued by search engines, or are they just as good as plain text?

You may want to correct your link from:

User: Toldham

to

User: Toldham

You have a clear Anchor text.
So it looks like this:  
User: Toldham

Ideally you would put your desired keyword in the Anchor... sosomething like:
i5 Digital - SEO Marketing Service in Hertfordshire

i5 Digital - SEO Marketing Service in Hertfordshire

I know, Right?

I just want to know how much effect it makes

The NOfollow probably does not do much.

So, How many is too many?

Thank you for your reply,

I left links to my site in Wikipedia on my targeted keyword (all with good quality info) and they wiki states the fact that the links are NoFollow. - At the same time I heard that even no follow links give you credit as to the "Domain" authority.

Also: I can only join a few forums that I can helpfully contribute to: will having 100's of links from one domain harm me in any way?  I mean I would reply to posts with my link in my signature.

Sorry, could you help me with what you mean by working against me?

I ussually sign off like this:
Nikita - Immigration Lawyer

with the link in my targeted keyword - I change the Keyword as often as I can but use "immigration consultant" about 40-50% of the time, and rarely I have only the link as in

http://www.migrationlawyers.co.za <<

Thanks: To clarify I am only Leaving comments not a Guest Blogger.

My current strategy:  I am ranking for keyword and site: Immigration Consultant

I access the Fresh Web Explorer and search my keyword, then find the blogposts with High Authority where I can post using HTML and include my link in my signature, or sometimes the post has a link associated with the username.

Now my question is this, does this count? will google even crawl the comments? can I aid the crawling process somehow?

Any advice on creating relavent back-links is much appreciated.

Thank you 
Nikita

There are a few Good Ways to go around Fiverr.

1. Dont Buy Likes, Buy Add Me Fast Points.
You can target countries (that's the only targeting you get) but you will have about 8000 points which you can spend on not only  likes but Shares... 
The person that likes the shares your post is only doing it to gain points himself, but his friends might be interested in your content.

2. I found a russian selling 10,000 likes
These 10,000 likes I use to target a generic term such as "fizzy drinks" as long as i get more likes than the current "fizzy drinks" page all the new likes for that page are mine. And I can monetize by advertising further to the real fizzy dinks fans.

3. YouTube Hits, I bought 30,000 YT hits.
All mobile views (some include likes, comments and subscriptions too) - These were the best!
Every time my video goes viral after the initial 30k a couple months down the line I'd get up to 120K and 10K real visitors. and real sales resulting from this.

4. Organic Traffic. - Dont Buy Traffic, buy advertisement through social networks which generate trafic, there are a few out there that do that for you... anywhere from 50 per day to 8000per day. This got me a few sales, but not as much as the YouTube Likes

Additionally:

I ordered all the 10,000 baclikns, the 50billion edu and gov spun article placemnt, search engine submissions etc. for 1 site.   SERP for main keyword 1st place!!!  Page Rank 0
It looks like Blackhat killed my domain name, I dont see how I can make actually get a PR now as there is just so much junk on the net out there linking to my site that, the genuine links are ignored, although i get no warnings, and im blacklist free.

So to summ up:

Get 10,000 fake likes and ruin your LEGITIMATE status (aka you become spam)
BUT
You will have about 1,000 real, semi-interested fans.

It looks like Blackhat killed my domain name, I dont see how I can make actually get a PR now as there is just so much junk on the net out there linking to my site that, the genuine links are ignored, although i get no warnings, and im blacklist free.

So if you want Sales... do it get your hands dirty, but know that you probably are not coming out clean afterwards. chances are, your domain is going to be ruined.

And if you want to eventually beat facebook's SERP go whitehat or go home

What do you think is a good "TOP" ? do you think there is a good time to say, hmm that is enough, i can start building the other sites?

Thanks

Fair enough, and good point!

I wasn't planing to concentrate too much on all the 15 sites. 
I think maybe I should heed to your suggestion and make 2-3 sites.

So what should I do with the other domains. (my customer told me he has quite a few more, and is waiting for the login details to come through and he will hand them over to me) what is the best way to utilise them?

thank you very much.

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first question.
(so please excuse if my etiquette slightly off)

I have just taken over the SEO work for a website in South Africa (.co.za) it is for an Attorney of immigration law, and naturally I would love to make it into a star on google.

I have about 15 extra keyword domains at my disposal, 5 of them are parked and the rest are not doing anything at the moment. so my question is: what should I do with them to get the best SEO results for their keyword names?

I was thinking to make a WordPress Multi Site, un-park the domains and create a separate site for each domain. Create a visually similar front page, but all the links head back over to the main site. Then work on optimising the SEO for each domain. (lengthy work but it's not too hard to rank in google.co.za)

what do you think?

I also heard that parking domains is a bad Idea, because google sees it as duplicate content; is that so?

website:
www.migrationlawyers.co.za

Parked domains:
MigrationLawyers.co.za
MigrationLawyer.co.za
MigrationLawyers.de
ImmigrationLaw.co.za
EmigrationLaw.co.za

Keyword domains: Migration-Attorney.com
Migration-Lawyers.com
MigrationCounsel.co.za
ApplyForPermanentResidencesSouthAfrica.com
AvoidDeportationSouthAfrica.co.za
AvoidDeportationSouthAfrica.com
RetirementVisaSouthAfrica.com
SouthAfricanCitizenship.co.za
SouthAfricanPermits.co.za
StudyPermitSouthAfrica.co.za

Thanks a lot,
Nikita
