I have a client with a domain that has "sex" in the domain name. For example, electronicsexpo.com.

The domain ranks for a few keywords related to the services offered. It is an old domain that has been online for over 10 years. It ranks well for local keywords. No real SEO effort has been made on this domain, so it is rather a clean slate.

I am going to be doing SEO on this site. Will the fact that the word "sex" exists in the name have any sort of negative consequence. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING adult related or pornographic on this site.

I would think that search engines are sophisticated enough to differentiate, but would potential customers with things like parental filters be blocked from viewing content?

Is this hurtful in anyway? If so, would I be better off changing domain names?

TIA

I posted a question about this a while ago, but still haven't pulled the trigger.

I have a main site (bobsclothing.com). I also have a EM niche site (i.e shirtsmall.com).

It would be more efficient for me to merge these site, because:

• I would have to manage content, promos, etc. on a single site. In other words, I can focus efforts on 1 site. If I am writing content, I don't have to split the work.

• I don't have to worry about duplicate content. Right now, if I enter a product URL into copyscape, the other sites is returned for many products.

What makes me apprehensive are:

• The niche site actually ranks for more keywords than the main site, although it has lower revenue. Slightly lower PA, and DA.

• Niche site ranks top 20 for a profitable keyword that has about 1300 exact match searches. If you include the longer tail versions of the keyword it would be more.

If I merge these sites, and do proper 301s (product to product, category to category) how likely is it that main site will still rank for that keyword?

Am I likely to end up with a site that has stronger DA?

Am I better off keeping the niche site and just focusing content efforts on the few keywords that it can rank well for?

I appreciate any advice. If someone has done this, please share your experience.

TIA

I am looking to hire a content writer for our sites. Anyone familiar with a service where the manage the content on your site?

Basically, come up with topics & content ideas, then writing the content.

Please give me an idea of the pricing if possible.

Greatly appreciate any help.

What is the most accurate tool to check the current ranking of keywords in bulk and download the report via CSV/Excel?

Any input would be appreciated.

I am looking to hire an IC to help with analytics. I need to know how I can verify if they are GA certified.

They gave me a link to a http://www.starttest.com profile. Is that legit?

If it is relevant to Sofas, you might be able to put it directly on that page. But yeah, having relevant content for each category makes sense for the user.

You can move the content over and the do 301 page-to-page redirects to the main site.

i.e

Sofas.com to furniture.com/sofas

contemporary sofas to furniture.com/contemporary-sofas

Good luck!

BTW, have you thought about doing a 301 redirect to a relevant subfolder of the main site?

For example, the main site is furniture.com, microsite is sofas.com, you redirect sofas.com to furniture.com/sofas.html.

By content, are you talking about category and product descriptions? or articles, guides, etc.? Both?
