is it better to have A. one site www.mymainkeyword.com with 100 sub pages at first level www.mymainkeyword.com/long-tail-keyword-one.html www.mymainkeyword.com/long-tail-keyword-two.html etc. etc. OR B. ONE HUNDRED sites with the domain name for each being one of the long tail keywords and of course each page targeted towards that long tail keyword I am thinking B is better to get ranked for each long tail keyword because it would be at the highest main top level and google would rank it higher
You are totally thinking wrong. Mechanics don't matter. Think about the visitor and create a site they will use. And think about how your site can steer them towards what they want. Do you think that with 100 longtail keywords you will somehow outrank the competition? SEO is changing. If you are NOT focusing entirely on the visitors you don't have a chance.
It will be easier to get 100 sites with domain names that exactly match our 100 targeted keyword phrases to rank for those 100 keyword phrases... But Google doesn't like 1 page sites showing up in their SERPs. You might get away with it for a while but eventually a competitor will likely report you, and you'll eventually get buried by Google. And even if Google didn't bury you, one page sites are not all that attractive to users either. I would go with a single site with 100 pages... assuming the 100 keyword phrases you are targeted are somehow related to a common theme... the theme of your site.
i agree with you about making good quality content sites etc... but this site got me the idea for the topic of this thread... http://howtobakeapotato.com/ you see he made a very specific long tail keyword as the domain name and major topic of the site and it is only ONE PAGE and address the long tail keyword exactly. out of 3.5 million total pages, he is ranked number one... see what i mean ? also noteworthy that there are barely any text on his one page and he still gets top google rank listing
He gets #1 because he has an exact match domain for a phrase that has almost zero competion... Don't confuse 3.5 million search results with that phrase being at all competitive. It's not... There are only 820,000 pages that have that exact phrase "how to bake a potato" on the page somewhere... There are only 1810 pages that have that exact phrase in the <title>... only 70 pages that have that exact phrase in the URL... and only 70 pages that have that exact phrase in BOTH the <title> and URL... In otherwords, there are likely only 70-1810 pages on the entire web competing for that keyword phrase... He does get a significant boost because it is an exact match... He also gets a significant boost because many sites will link to his site with "howtobakeapotato.com" and "how to bake a potato" as the link text just because it's name of the site. Another site like "allaboutpotatos.com" would have a much harder time ranking for the phrase because 1) it's not an exact match domain and 2) many of their links will have "allaboutpotatos.com" and "all about potatos" as their link text... which isn't going to significantly help them in ranking for "how to bake a potato".
In the case with the example of the person with 100 sites, he/she has created a niche site with exact information based on the url, unlike many other sites. I would go with your option B as long as you provide the best in "user experience" and stick with the URL's topic. Keep in mind though that having 100 sites might become a "management" challenge. Good luck!
I personally would say option B. As someone else mentioned, you will have a much higher chance to rank if your domain name is the exact keyword phrase. This is pretty much the Google Sniper method. A lot of people have been using it since it was released and it seems to work pretty good if you know how to find low competition keywords.
making good quality content is very esntial i thinks thats better to use option A that will be get indexed by google
I suggest one site coz it will be easy for your to do the link building campaign and get quality links to your website, spammers have lost the value in SEO. SEO now is totally quality driven
I think getting 1 website with 100 pages is best option as tackling with 100 websites is not that easy. Building links for them is really hard. Better promote one website and get your website higher ranking in search engines.
in my view both option is wrong according to search engine . option A just spamming option B tough to promote and 1 page site is not good.
option B is much better than A, Latent Semantic Indexing (SMI) is the best way to increase the ranking position of the website, just concentrate on the keyword and make your site really huge, you will boost in the Search Engines. Regards,
From a pragmatic standpoint, owning 100 domains will cost you about $1000/year. Will the site earn enough to justify that cost? Also, with good links and *some* pagerank sculpting, you'll probably do better with one domain. You'll get more link juice to your homepage and can distribute it properly among all the URLs.
