3 (similar) keywords - 3 (similar) domains - best strategy?
-
Hi all!
I've got head scratcher here, your input would be super valuable!
We have these 3 exact match domains.
FloatTank.ca
IsolationTank.ca
SensoryDeprivationTank.caThe domains are all 3 different ways of saying the exact same thing - and each of the 3 keywords have roughly the same amount of traffic.
Right now we are just providing information on Float Tanks / Isolation Tanks / Sensory Deprivation Tanks, their benefits are and how to use them, where to find a location etc.
Do you have any strategies or advice considering the current domains and the points below?
-
The content on each site would be VERY SIMILAR, as they are all talking about the same thing, "floating". Any suggestions for this?
-
We want to (sometime in the near future) create a branded website. ie. FloatNation.ca in which we rank for all 3 of the above terms.
-
Should we spin content for each site, and then create a 301 down the road to our main domain?
Your input is appreciated!
All the best,
Bright. -

There are sites that allow you to create low level infographics or you can outsource to some freelance designer this will cost you less as compare to hire a designer inhouse.
you have to have some budget for it but at the end of the day the results can be great!

Hi Irving,
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Spinning is bad, got it! We won't do it
At the moment (until we create our own Float Studio) we plan on providing information and selling products that might relate to Float Tanks. ie. Recommended books, Epsom salt (a key component of the health benefits associate with floatation tanks) and perhaps other items which relate well to the "new age" demographic.
Thoughts?

Hi Moosa,
Thanks kindly for your input!
This is an interesting strategy - I like how each site would present the same information in different formats, smart!
We can do the blog no problem, and we can do the Q&A Site too, but an infographics site would be too resource intensive. Any suggestions if we don't have the resources to create Infographics?
Best,
Bright. -
Spinning the content is crap but writing unique content for each is ideal. If you can keep all three sites separate you can target and probably rank all three on the first page of google.ca for all three keywords since competition should be relatively low in ca.
Are you going to be selling advertising or products on these sites in the near future? Depending on how you monetize would determine what type of content works best for them. Need to define that first.

This is tough but at least you people are in a super ideal state where you have all the domains J
Ok, I think the idea of spinning the content is rubbish so don’t ever try that!
I think what you can do with these 3 domains is to use one as a blog and one is for images (infographics) and last is for community interaction.
- Blog: You are already sharing the information; all you have to do is to continue doing the same thing without coping the same or relatively similar information on other domains.
- Infographics: On 2<sup>nd</sup> domain try to design infographics and make it go live there, this will allow you to get tons of links as well as the audience who love information within images.
- QnA Section: Try to use the 3<sup>rd</sup> domain as a QnA section where people can ask and answer questions. This will help the community to stay around your brand and when you company with a brand website this three websites will help you generate lots of traffic and sales at the same time.
Hope this helps!

On-page optimization for closely related keywords or acronyms of keywords
We are in the process of on-page optimization for a site that sells one kind of software. We are trying to optimize each page for a target keyword and variations of the keyword, however we have more pages than keyword variation types, so I'm looking for feedback on whether the below plan would be keyword cannibalization. Examples: URL: www.domain.com/product
Keyword Research | | seo_1234b
Tarket Keyword: device imaging software
Title Tag: Device Imaging Software | Company Name URL: www.domain.com/solutions
Target Keyword: device imaging solutions
Title Tag: Device Imaging Solutions | Company Name URL: www.domain.com/products/product-name
Target Keyword: dis (acronym)
Title Tag: DIS Software | Product Name | Company Name My question is are these keyword too closely related for each of the pages? Will they be considered duplicate title tags? Keyword cannibalization? etc. Thanks!0 -
How Can I Rank My One Keyword ?
I read many places about never use the same keywords/anchor text this will consider as spam by google, so i want to know if suppose my main keyword is Indian bridal sarees than how can i give rank to that keyword, should i use the same exact keyword but in different format like bridal indian sarees or indian bridal sarees shopping something like that. Should i use LSI keywords in that keywords. Please help Second, I also read some people saying they use 70% primary keywords and 30% LSI or generic words, so that mean if i have 10 articles so in 7 articles i have to give primary keyword and the rest of the 3 will be generic. Kindly please advice this also.

E-Commerce keyword question
We sell ItemA. One of the phrases that brings people to our site is "ItemA for sale". Should I just try to target "ItemA" or should I try to get "for sale" in there? I have seen a few other variations such as "on clearance" or "to purchase" as well. Can I just focus on "ItemA" or do I need all of those variants as well?

Confirm my thoughts for this keyword
I'm working with a local kitchen remodeler. In reviewing the organic keyword searches for the last month I notice the word "kitchens" appearing in the top 10 keyword searches. Since I know we aren't ranking for the term "kitchens" I dug deeper. A handful of the searches are from the local area but most are one occurence of searches from cities across the US and the world. My surmise is that because there are 2.2 million searches for kitchens every month we just happen to be scraping enough of these searches, irrelevant as they are to our client, to make it look like an important keyword. Most of the visitors using this keyword are gone in seconds. Just wanted some folks to confirm what I'm thinking - that "kitchens" showing up in our top 10 keywords list is a bit of a red herring - and we should focus on more localized keyword searches.

Google keyword tool [exact match]
Hey there, I'm trying to work out what my next big course to run will be. I want to know if my technique is a good gauge of popularity. I'm using Google's keyword tool specifically for New Zealand. I'm typing in a course topic e.g Photoshop Courses and looking at the exact match results to see if there might be a market for that course. Broad match seems to offer up a lot more numbers but seem a bit vague. Am i right to think 'After Effects Training' wouldn't be a popular course as it returns a (<10) local monthly result while 'Photoshop Courses' might be ok as it has a (46)? **I'd appreciate any insight. ** Dan

Effective keyword grouping - any suggestions?
I have a specific question regarding keyword grouping. Whenever I've have compiled a (long) list of keywords, I create smaller groups of keywords that can be targeted by a category or page. However, I find this to be quite labour-intensive as I'm doing this work manually through filtering in Excel. To illustrate what I mean, here's an example of a keyword list: baby shirt
Keyword Research | | DeptAgency
t-shirt for baby
pregnancy shirts
pregnancy gifts Normally I would create a list of root words, like this: baby
shirt
pregnancy
gift I would then manually filter the list on each root word and copy the filtered list to separate tabs, which would result in lists like this: baby
baby shirt
t-shirt for baby shirt
baby shirt
t-shirt for baby
pregnancy shirts etc. As you can imagine, this is a lot of work. So my hope is that you can help me out with a smart tool / Excel formula / ??? to automate this process. Thanks for any suggestions!0
