Keyword rich domains
-
Hi,
Our site is beingthere.com.au
We are in the business of video conferencing in Australia.
I was wondering if there would be any benefit of purchasing keyword rich domains such as
www.video streaming.net.au
What would be the benefit(s)?
And
How would I go about using these domains to maximise SEO benefit?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Guys,
I just registered on www.videoconferencing.com.au directory
http://www.videoconferencing.com.au/beingthere-video-conferencing-australia/
Hopefully this will assist with ranking for 'video conferencing'
Thanks for all your help

Don't underestimate the money-making ability of an info site.

I agree with Dignan. You will need to give up beingthere.com.au and replace it with videoconferencing.com.au.
Is there any other way of using these URLs to boost SERP for the 'video conferencing' keyword?
Not in any way that I think will work effectively.
-
Yes you would change it, but you would most likely do a 301 redirect from the old site to the new site so you do not lose pagerank.

Thanks dignan99

Thanks Egol,
Can you please confirm I am correct in my understanding, if I were to purchase any of these keyword rich domains i would need to change the root URL of our site to www.videoconferencing.com.au rather than beingthere.com.au?
Is there any other way of using these URLs to boost SERP for the 'video conferencing' keyword?
thanks

HI Dan,
The only way there would be value in purchasing those, IMHO, is if you had a stellar piece or hardware or software that may have a chance at dominating the industry. An informational site would not be worth the potential high cost of such ketyword rich domains, as software or hardware companies that dominate them have no need for this.
The keyword rich domain name ship has already sailed.

I would be getting in touch with them right away. At least before they see this thread.
They will probably want a mint for those domains but if you know what to do with them they could be really valuable.
-
I Agree with Egol, and actually http://www.videoconference.com.au/ and http://www.videoconferencing.com.au/ are both parked domains and probably for sale. Check http://whois.domaintools.com for owner details.

Those would probably be a little easier to rank for exact match keywords. However, the problem will be lots of people will forget about the .net and type .com. That might not sound like a big deal, however, the more successful your business becomes the more traffic and money you will loose to the guy who owns the .com.
If you are serious about this business try to get the .com. It might cost thousands but you will lose that much over time. Or, attack with your current domain which sounds brandable.

Usage of keywords in URL
Hi everyone, I'm trying to optimize our website and I'm not sure what's ideal for our URL structure. We have two products: one of them is focused on B2C & the other one on B2B.
Technical SEO | | Klouwers
Our homepage is focused on the B2C product. For our B2B product, I'm not sure what's ideal. The URL for our 'homepage' of the B2B product is ourdomain.com/software. We have different target groups for our B2B software, and therefore different pages on our website. Which URL would be best to use for the keyword personal trainer software?
1. ourdomain.com/software/personal-trainer-software
2. ourdomain.com/software/personal-trainer0 -

What are we doing wrong with Rich Snippets?
So, a client webstore has rich snippets on all products, and it seems they are working fine, and are showing up, the only problem is, that the price for an article is not showing up. The part of the code, that shows the price is this: Redna cena:
Technical SEO | | Red_Orbit
29,99 € Is the problem that we have the itemprop="price" in a meta tag? I've read around the internet that if you have a lot of meta, this can be a problem.... Can we change it into: Redna cena: Would this work, or is there another thing that we can try? The URL for this article is http://www.bigbang.si/igre/sleeping-dogs-le-x360-4989980 -
Multiple domains on the same hosting
Hello, I have around 80 sites (different domains) which are on the same host. Everytime I look up the IP of these domains, it gives me the same IP. The sites are interlinked, all linking to the main domain. My question is: Does the off site link building have effect on the 80 sites?

New Website and Domain Question
Hi all, I am launching a new website around the end of October and I have purchased a great domain to use for it. My question is should I put some kind of holding page up to try and start building up some domain authority in preperation for launch? Or maybe a blog at www.domain.com/blog and then keep all the blog content at the same location when the full site goes up? Or is it best to wait and just launch the site when the first version is complete? Thanks, Ben

Keyword in Domain or not?
My on page optimization grade is an "A" with the following factors; Factor Overview <dl class="scoreboard clearfix"> <dt>Critical Factors</dt> <dd>4 / 4</dd> <dt>High Importance Factors</dt> <dd>7 / 7</dd> <dt>Moderate Importance Factors</dt> <dd>8 / 9</dd> <dt>Low Importance Factors</dt> <dd>11 / 11</dd> <dt>Optional Factors</dt> <dd>5 / 5</dd> </dl> The main thing I appear to be missing is keywords in my URL. How truly important is that in today's SEO world and how much time or ranking would be lost if I do not have control to change the external links to my website if I decided to migrate to a keyword relevant url?

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?

What is SEO impact of redirecting from domain to https appspot domain ?
Our site is hosted on google and is fully https. But since google's limitation is that all https needs to be on the appspot domain, we are redirecting users from our website to the appspot domain. What is the impact of this on SEO?
