Hi Patrick,

This is HUGELY helpful. Thank you.

We noticed today that 4 of the top referring sites are actually porn sites. Does anyone know what that is all about? Thanks!

Helps a ton!

Thanks for your input!

We are working with a client that has 2 different restaurants. One has been established since 1938, the other was opened in late 2012. Currently, each site has its own domain name. From a marketing/branding perspective, we would like to make the customers [web visitors] of the established restaurant aware of the sister restaurant. To accomplish this, we are thinking about creating a landing page that links to each restaurant. To do this, we would need to purchase a brand new URL, and then place each restaurant in a separate sub folder of the new URL. The other thought is to have each site accessed from the main new URL [within sub folders] and also point each existing URL to the appropriate sub folder for each restaurant. We know there are some branding and marketing hurdles with this approach that we need to think through/work out. But, we are not sure how this would impact their SEO––and assume it will not be good. Any thoughts on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate the response.

Thank you for your response!

Thanks for your response!

A client has purchased many domains with keywords in each. They want to have us point each domain to their site for better SEO.  Is this a good or bad thing to do?
