I'm sure this has a easy anwser but I can't seem to any infomation that makes this clear enough for me to understand. I'm working for a recruitment company and I'm considering buying a bunch of domains like www.[JOBTITLE]jobs.co.uk and have them pointing at the homepage ( or their dept's subsection of the site ). Would the sites organic rankings benifit from this or will I be frowned upon/banned from google. Thank you, Paul
Say I point itjobs.com, internetjobs.com and greatjobs.com at www.stupidrubbishjobs.com. Will this help my rankings for "internet jobs" , "great jobs" and "it jobs" or will google banned itjobs, internetjobs.com and greatjobs.com?
301 redirects u mean??? this doesnt hurt if you d oit the right way....make sure to have your code proper in the meta redirect
This is useless and would only be good for direct type-in traffic. How would you market a domain with no content that just 301 redirects to another? This method will have no SEO value, however if the domain gets direct\type-in traffic you'll gain some benefits from that.
I would also support ssandecki, it would be better if you can make all those sites to reach to the first position of the SERP for those keywords and then post a good link to your main site on all those sites. Also make a network of all those sites.
If the domains you are going to redirect are already well-established and are quite old and have some links that would add SEO value. But if they are new, no SEO value at all
Thanks for your advice. I don't think it's really worth me wasting budget on them as they are new domains.
What I would do personally if I had these domains is not use a 301 redirect. Rather I would develop each website with a targeted keyword and try to rank them well. Then since they are related (assuming you use different hosting for each) is link them together in a 3-way link fashion to pass pagerank between the pages and build quality backlinks.
