      Lets suppose that i have 10 NICHE products under me. Should i make one site for each product or one site overall.

      If i make 1 site for each product i get several advantages

      1. Domain name has keyword

      2. Title tags etc will be dedicated to one keyword only.

      Disavantage - Backlinking for each domain will become tougher.

      Advantage of one site onl

      1. Good management

      2. Seo / backlinks becomes easier

      3. Blogging to attract traffic becomes easier

      4. Can target a lot of keywords through business blogging

      Disadvantages

      1. Can become messy with unimportant keywords gaining importance.

      SO WHAT DO YOU THINK??? One site per product or One site for all products?

        No.. All the products are related and they wall under the same product category. I guess u are right. By starting separate websites, i can miss reference business as well. As in a customer needing one product, might just need another as well.

          A variety of products can rank well if they are well SEO'd.

          If the products are related I'd put them together on one site. If they were ten totally unrelated products - for example, toe scratchers and garden gnomes, I'd be more inclined to create 10 sites. After all, you'll want to incorporate social media and develop content for your potential customers that is relevant or related to the products you are selling.

              It definitely helped. I was gonna go that with the primary seo strategy. But then i was confused whether i shud have one product specific domain itself. Lets c. Will try this strategy and i think it should work.

                Well,

                You can have a website architecture like:

                domain.com/productnamespecifickeyword.html 😄 - okay you will need to optimize that one 🙂

                and then target productnamespecifickeyword.html with links which have productnamespecifickeyword as anchor text

                I hope that hepled,

                Istvan

                  Thanks a lot for the answer. But if i have multi products in one domain, will all the keywords rank high??? As in i want to rank high for 10 keywords on the same domain, should i change the anchor text during backlinking?

                  What should be the seo strategy in one site multi product cases?

                    Hi Hitesh,

                    I would go for one domain.

                    Creating a lot of mini-sites maybe will help you in short term... BUT if you are going for long term, then you should focus on creating a larger websites. Focus on creating 1 page for each product and target it to the specific page.

                    With less effort you can benefit of link building for one domain. Don't forget to do a keyword mapping.

                    I hope it hepled,

                    Istvan

                      How many product subcategories are ok?

                      Let's say I have a sea glass ankle bracelet.  On my site, my main keyword is "Sea Glass Jewelry" and have ranked relatively well for this, but this main page has over 200 products in it. I thought that if the URL has the keywords in it, it would be beneficial.  I also have a section for all my bracelets, so it would be there and then, a more specific ankle bracelets category. So, technically, an ankle bracelet will show up 3x. Sea Glass Jewelry (all products go here) Bracelets (all bracelets go here) Ankle Bracelets (only ankle bracelets) The URL is only attached to the main category so to speak.  If you click the ankle bracelets category, the url will still revert back to the original main category:  seaglassjewelry/sterlinganklebracelet  so I don't believe there is duplicate content. I have had my domain for years and it has ranked well until someone hacked into my site 2 years back.  I have never been able to recover from this loss.  Since then, I have tried to optimize my site, but nothing seems to be working and I just want to make sure that I am not hurting my ranking by doing this. Can someone confirm this is the best way to do it or make a suggestion? Thank you.

                      Duplicate content on partner site

                      I have a trade partner who will be using some of our content on their site. What's the best way to prevent any duplicate content issues? Their plan is to attribute the content to us using rel=author tagging. Would this be sufficient or should I request that they do something else too? Thanks

                      Should I watermark my product images

                      I am in the process of creating new images for my products to use on my website.  Are there any advantages or disadvantages of watermarking each image?  Is there an SEO impact good or bad?  I am aware that filename and Alt tags are important, but am unsure if google dislikes watermarked images.

                      How to use canonical with mobile site to main site

                      I am pretty sure that the mobile version of the main site needs to be the same canonical link from what I understand. I am trying to find good docuementation that supports this. Even better if its from Google or Matt Cutts. I have a main domain like http://www.mydomain.com the mobile version of this is http://www.mydomain.com/m/ Should my canonical be rel="canonical" href="http://www.mydomain.com"/> for both these pages?

                      Schema.org for a rental site with more than one apartment per address

                      I am looking for advices on how to best start adopting schema.org for an apartment rental site with more than one apartment per address. I would like to get feedback and suggestions on my initial thoughts. Here are the obvious ones: http://schema.org/Place for the address of the building an apartment is in. http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex for the unique page for each apartment. Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share? Thanks, Adrien O'Leary

                      ECommerce Product Meta Descriptions vs. Product Descriptions

                      Wondering if using on-page product descriptions as the individual product meta descriptions is a best practice for an eCommerce site? Instead of writing two product descriptions (one regular and one meta), I am thinking if the product copy is SEO rich, we'd be good to use just the one for both purposes. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Seems that many companies follow this practice. Thanks!
