3 Different Websites but Same Keywords
-
One of my client targeting same (5 Keywords) for 3 sites.
Domain & Web Hosting is same for 3 sites.
Site A - 50.72.134.29
Site B - 50.72.140.227
Site C- 50.72.19.70Some time ago, ranking dropped - but don't know if it is because on above things?
Is it OK? What is the best way to target same keywords for 3 different sites.

I'd personally say yes, b/c other SEO geeks could look that up and tell immediately. In practice, I see people do this and it works. The key - thinking as if some real human looks at these sites - is that the content be unique. If you are just creating 3 sites targeting the same keywords but are unique in their own way, then what's wrong with that? Nothing. If I was an attorney then I'd seriously have issues, but I don't think it matters that much if you aren't black hatting your link building.

Thank you very much for your suggestion, Is it risky/spam if all 3 sites are hosted/registered on same hosting and by same person(same name and address), targeting same keywords but everything is unique as I mentioned above.
-
That's easy then. Of course. Technically you see this on every search result... period. Every site there is somehow ranking for the same keywords. Real estate you see this all the time. Do a search for [Your City] Real Estate or "Homes" and you'll see 5 to 10 results that have nearly the same content on their landing page.
-
@thanks and agree with you... but I personally want to know - is it possible to target same keywords for 3 different websites, if each sites is not linking to each other, each have quality/informative content, unique design & different concept etc...
-
I've used this strategy with real estate in particular. What I did was create a "main" page that was where all my branded and best content went. The other two sites were basically targeting the same search results and keywords but more emphasis was given to the niche or phrase. The black hat way might just be create 3 sites and spin all the content or you could do the following.
For example
Let's say you want to do Atlanta Pest Control with 3 sites
I might have AtlantaPestControl.com be my branded/main. Then my 2 other sites be Pest Control in Atlanta, Pest Control Services in Atlanta, Atlanta Best Pest Control or some variation. So you could easily do this with 5 words.
So for your example I would emphasis "2 of the 5" on each site. This will keep the content focused on being fresh and not just re-spun.

Hreflang - different navigation for all countries
Hi all! Currently we are implementing the href lang tag. I'm not really sure how to solve this: We sell our products in the Netherlands and Belgium. For the Netherlands we have 1 category page for pebbles (stones) which contain both rounded and non-rounded pebbles. In the Netherlands there is not really a difference between them (people search for pebbles and that's it). The URL: https://www.website.com/nl/pebbles. In Belgium there is a difference (people specifically search for rounded/non-rounded pebbles). Therefore, in Belgium we have 2 pages (we don't have an overall page): https://www.website.com/be/pebbles-rounded.

Keyword stuffing found, how does Google treat my business name that contains keyword?
Hi, SEOmoz found 72 occurances of my keyword 'widgets' on our front page. I'm trying to cut it down but alot of the time the keyword appears alongside the company name 'Mega Widgets' . Will Google distinguish between the use of the keyword within a typical sentence and having it alongside the company name? Or should I put in a hypen (mega-widgets) or surround the company name with quotes ("mega widgets") to tell Google its a legit combination/phrase and I'm not trying to stuff in the keyword?

Would moving a large part of our website onto a separate website be SEO suicide?
Hello, Our website currently has what I would call educational and sales pages - which sells our services and also a techy section for the developer community. The developer pages on the website have some of the highest authority pages that we have and equates for about 50% of the content. It has been proposed to move the developer pages onto their own domain - away from the main website. Now, would this crush a lot of the SEO benefit that we have on our main site? Does anyone know of a workable solution that would help retain the SEO. Would linking to our main site from the developer site help? It would be great to hear what people think, Thanks,

Different pages first results on same keyword search
Hi, Sometimes Google does not show the page you intended for a certain keyword. Logically you would say that the intended page is not relevant/strong enough. But in my case several pages ranked fine for a long period of time and all of a sudden another less important page gets the highest result on a keyword search. (We are in the camping business) For instance: One of our campsites called Tenuta primero used to rank position 9 in google with page below for a long time (search: 'camping tenuta primero') This was the page we intended to rank with. http://www.suncamp.nl/nl/nl/campings/italie/friuli-venezia-giulia/camping-tenuta-primero/uc19-l1-n797-c13-r115-cp104959/ Now all of a sudden the position for search 'camping tenuta primero' is position 33 with review page below. http://www.suncamp.nl/nl/nl/campings/italie/friuli-venezia-giulia/camping-tenuta-primero/beoordelingen/uc19-l1-n797-c13-r115-cp104959-t22598/ What could have caused this? Pages are in Dutch but main keywords are camping are tenuta primero. Thank you very much in advance! Kind regards, Dennis Overbeek Dennis@acsi.eu | www.suncamp.nl |
