    Hi guys,

    let us say that our main website is www.site.com
    we also buy www.site.net and www.site.org and ....

    So the main website will be www.site.com
    however, what are the results of having more domain addons?

    Does it have good effect on our Google PR? what about our Keyword positions?

    Try typing google.net. you will land up at google.com.
    By buying those domains, you are protecting your business.
    I am not sure whether Google gives higher PR for addon domains.
    If you will develop those websites (org and net) with good content and have outbound links to com website, then this may help in PR for com website.

    Yes, I know it is good for business reputation. But I am interested to know if it has any effect on SEO or not (not specially Google PR)

    It has no effect on SEO.

    But if you want some extra SEO benefit, then create websites for each top level domain (.net, .org., etc.). These websites should not be the same as your .com website. Instead, they should provide some additional content, maybe just a single page, or a few pages of keyword-rich content, and then of course, they contain links to your .com site.

    But do not create links from your .com site to these other sites.

    You won't get much extra SEO benefit, but you'll still get a little.

    Comprehensive info.

    What do you think about making .net website a link exchange directory for .com ? I mean we show the link of people who will link to our .com domain.
    Or maybe it's better to add link exchange stuff to the same domain (.com).

    Yes your other domain surely help in the SEO but for that you need to design all your other site with relevant content site as .com. And then link your .com site in such a way that it connect with you all site pages. This step will help yoou...

    Link exchange site sounds like a good idea for the .net or .org, or other TLD. But don't do it for the .com.

    what do you mean by saying Dont do it for the .com.

    You mean I do not make the link exchange inside .com website?
    or I don't place link from .net to .com ? It is very confusing!

    This is what I plan to do : I create a link exchange directory in my .net website. whoever who place link to my .com domain in their websites, their link will appear in my .net website. Is it logic?

    Yes, that's what I'm talking about. What I meant is do not create link exchange directory within the .com site.

    What you might even try doing is to have their link appear on the .net, .org, and other TLDs, just to make the link exchange more attractive.

    So I shall create a link exchange directory for my .net domain, and obviously since it is a link exchange program, whenever they have link in my .com domain, their link will appear in .net link directory.

    But why I should not link from .com to .net? .com is the main website and people should know that there is a new link exchange program in .net

    But if the .net .org domains have the same IP as the .com....I dont think it is good....you should get different IPs for all domains

    I have ever watched video from Matt Cutts on YT, he said, that's absolutely ok if the niche is different.

    All right SEO guys, here is my story now:

    www.ezaban.com is the main .com domain. The Google PR is currently 3
    www.ezaban.net is the link exchange domain now. Its Google PR is 2.

    In .net website I ask people to exchange link and put their link to my .com domain, (In return their link will be displayed in .net domain)

    So in this way, I don't give any link from my .com domain but I receive links to my .com domain.

    Now, shall I accept just all receiving links? Or the PR of the site should be more than 2 or 3 ? is it bad if I accept all links ?

    The second question : I can use wrappers and other iframe techniques in my .com domain so the visitors may not notice the point? Is it good? Please do not consider this as cheating because the .net domain has PR 2 and .com domain PR3.

    Let me know about your ideas.

    it can be confusing at the beginning.
    i understand the idea to have directory on second domain. if it is necessary, why not, since its a seperate domain name and you can choose to build it anyway you like.

    Yes, I know but I don't in order to get higher PR, should we avoid getting links from websites who have less PR? Or can I easily accept any page rank?
