SEO Question?

[Smile]

Hey Guys!

Hypothetically speaking, lets say I own the following three domains:
(Ignore Exact/Broad/Phrase search quantities for now.)

Fruitshop.com.au << Main Site. Established for a while. 5000+ Pages indexed. eCommerce Platform.
Apples.com.au << Newly Picked up
Oranges.com.au << Newly Picked up

What is the best SEO technique that I can employ to take advantage of these newly picked up key word domains?

1.) I dont want to Park on top of OR Redirect.

2.) Ideally I want all the sites to mimic the same content. Without me having to update 3 sites.

3.) Or is just chucking a blog on the newly picked up domains the way to go?

4.) Other options?

If someone can answer my question, Ill appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like fruitshop.com.au is an authority site and given that it is rather broad, I'm guessing it has pages such as fruitshop.com.au/apples and fruitshop.com.au/oranges.

If you want them to mimic each other, this is what I would do.

Create a page on the authority site that targets your keyword, lets say apple juice - fruitshop.com.au/apples/apple-juice

I would write up a small article and place a contextual link within it to a page on your new site targeting the same keyword apple juice - apples.com.au/apple-juice or apples.com.au/products/apple-juice or whichever is best suited.

You could simply write a large 500-600 word article and place the first 200 on the authority site and then post the remaining article on the new site. You could write something like.. "Want more information? Head on over to the apple juice page".

My Advice is to make 3 separate websites on each domain with different content on each website and link via the 3 websites content. Use the fruit shop as the main website and as said above create the internal pages and link via that do not create run of site links.

Do not use re directs as you will not rank for terms unless they are a timed redirect which can pass on anchor text value. But yeah best case scenario is for 3 separate websites.

I agree


You would have 3 really good names . Don't limit yourself by wanting to go the easy option of identical content/sites if developing them.

Agreed, definitely 3 different websites.

Apples 4-5 pages of content solely about apples with several links to the apples page on the authority site.

I don't think you really need to update the apples and oranges sites though. Some minor SEO to kick things off would be good but hopefully the perfect relevance of the linking site will compensate for a not exactly authority-rich site

Read the original post, he has asked what he is wanting, the hypothetical is so he doesn't give away his actual domains/keywords.

Personally I would have multiple sites up and running, then you can push traffic from your satellite sites to your money making site... thanks BlueHatSeo.
