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.

New keyword simply not Ranking
Evening all, first post. I'm currently ranking OK for a broad range of keywords - nothing at number 1 but some are on the first page. However, there is one particular keyword which simply refuses to get indexed. I've witnessed this behaviour before with another site where it appears at SERP 300 or so, then vanishes, comes back at 200 odd and then vanishes. Right now, it's not even ranking in any position. I'm using SERPFox for SERP position on Google. I've had Moz analyse the content on page and it's getting an A. The article is about 2000 words, with good Title and page description and the keyword is appearing under 1%. My question is, have you witnessed odd behaviour like this before where other keywords are ranking OK but an odd few don't even get indexed? I have a few links built to the URL and asked Google Webmaster tools to index the URL but still nothing. I have no penalties or anything to worry about. The only other info I have is that this URL is on a brand-new domain but the previous domain has a 301 redirect with a page authority of 42 and a domain authority of 38 (not too high). And, everything else appears to be running along OK. The point is, I have no expectations about the keyword ranking in a certain position but find it odd how the keyword keeps popping in and out of Google SERP. The keyword has a difficulty of: 58% Any thoughts appreciated. Robert. uH7vtbh

How to improve ranking of a website again, after being penalized by Google?
The ranking of our website has gone down in past 2 months. The reason,
Technical SEO | | TGA123
I believe is that we had more than 300,000 spammy comments posted on it
(the website is based on wordpress) so Google treated it as
un-monitored forum and penalized. We have deleted the older comments
and new comments can no longer be posted. Need suggestions on what else
should we do to rank better. Any advice would be very welcome.0 -

Hosting in the US for an Australian website
Hi, I was wondering whether it's still important for SEO to host a website in the same country as you're targetting. We host a fair few Australian sites and we're looking for a new webhost at the moment. Should we only consider hosting on Australian servers or is it worth looking at servers elsewhere? One of the main reasons we're thinking about US hosting is that we can get a machine that is 3x more powerful than we can get in Australia for the price. This performance increase should go some way to minimizing the effect of the latency increase. Thanks, Nick
