Are there benifits to aquiring domain names with keywords of a niche site and redirecting them to the niche site?
-
I f i purchased a domain with keyword another one of my sites targeted and redirected it to that site are there benefits in doing so? & as long as the domain contained the keywords would it matter if the domain name contained another word?.
also would it be better to put just a few articles on the site and then point keywords in the article to the niche site?.

I do not think i explained my self very well there so i can understand your reply totally, in truth and without explaining in depth the process, the idea is simple good quality content linking to a domain with keywords in the URL pointed to a site which is also relevant.

Okay, I'm on my phone so no idea if this will format properly... 1. "from say unique wiki based articles, and built like a pyramid so good quality" - that sentence implies poor or, at best, indifferent quality. 2. Different C classes, names, servers, etc... Really? That's easier and of more benefit than just doing (shock, horror) real marketing? 3. No we're not just trying to beat the algorithm. SEO 'pros' are building traffic, brand recognition, and trying to do things in a way that works long term. What you're talking about is a short term scam that could easily end with your main domain getting kicked out of the SERPs. If it's your own site, go for it... If it's for a client then stop and think - you might just end up putting them out of business. I'm with the Oracle: buy beer

I guess this is an answer to seo5 & mat below which both of you have conflicting answers, first off the links would be from say unique wiki based articles, and built like a pyramid so good quality & mat the domains are not an exact match for the money site they are only geared towards keywords or phrases, also note i would purchase them in another name so no connection to the money site, also use a different class c to each domain, removing any connection apart from a link from a niche perspective, lets get it right here the idea of every seo pro is to beat the algerythem and think out side the box to do so.

Hey,
I would strongly advise you to be very careful when deciding whether or not to try these kinds of tactics. There are few things that could happen here, all of them bad:
- Nothing. Buying an exact match domain and adding a 301 in itself won't make a blind bit of difference to the target site.
- You build a load of spammy links into the domain that you're 301 redirecting to your main site. This ends up with an algorithmic penalty, which disappears when you remove the 301.
- As above but you get a manual penalty. Removing the 301 does nothing. You're screwed until the penalty expires (if it does).
- You build good links into the domain that you're 301 redirecting which helps the target site... but not as much as it would if you just built the links straight into it.
Exact match domains are on their way out so using this as a tactic to get better rankings just isn't going to work in the long term. Having said that, we all know that there are still instances where they rank very well when they possibly shouldn't, so if you really have to do something like this, create a separate site with some great relevant content and build good links into it. For now it might increase the chances you rank well, and will still be within guidelines as you're providing a good experience for your users.
Honestly... You'd be far better off spending your time, effort and money creating a video, building a really cool interactive resource, or making friends with some niche influencers. It'll be cheaper and give you more benefit in the long run.

I can't think of any benefits....
I think that this money would be better spent on beer.
-
yes as long as they are links from credible sources and not bad neighborhoods.
-
So In theory if i added back links to the domain even though it would be redirected they would benefit the other site in this way.
I could ad more links than usual reducing the possibility of being punished for adding to many to the money site so to speak?. in affect splitting the qty of links added on a daily basis between domains.

If the domain that you acquire has backlinks associated with it, then the 301 would help with SEO . After a while, those backlinks will be associated with your main domain and you can derive SEO benefit associated with it. If the domain has no backlinks then there isn't any SEO advantage to it. You can benefit from any direct traffic that domain gets because once you 301 it to your niche site, any direct traffic associated with that domain will now go to your nice site.

What will the SECOND link from a site do for me
Say I have an opportunity to get another link from a high authority site that has already linked an important article from me (a page I REALLY want to rank well). Now a month later, they are interviewing me and asking what I'd like to link. I have plenty of good content I can offer, but I really want that page they already linked to to climb a bit in the rankings. So my question is, how is that second link best spent? Would linking to the same page give it a boost? Or does Google see it as "oh. Another link from the same domain. Yippee." Would that link do more for a different page on my site at this point?

Keyword use in online directories
I have been adding our website to online directories which quite often allow me to add a brief description of the organization and add a list of Key words. With regards to the keywords should I list keywords from the organisiantion description that I have entered on the site or should I use the key words that we are trying to rank for, that don’t necessarily feature in the description on the site

Pursuing Links on Sites You Have a Link From
Is it a bad idea to spend resources to get a second link from a site that already links to you? It seems like the marginal value of each additional link is much smaller than the first link.

Should I post an article to the same article site each month or should I vary the sites I post them to?
Hi Community,
Link Building | | acs111
Im planning on creating an article each month centred around 1 keyword.
Is it best to post this to the same site. eg http://ezinearticles.com/ every month or should I try to post it to a mixture of different sites? I'm trying to rank a site higher for their chosen keyword by gaining links from anchor text within each article I create.0 -
