Help Please, show me the light... Here is my problem: I have a main SITE, which I am still working on. It should be done in a manner of days. I also purchased 22 keyword domains, such as THIS. All 22 domains are keywords that I want to rank for ( I was lucky that they were available to register). I put up Wordpress Themes on all 22 domains, will populate with top notch unique content. I have all 23 sites hosted on 1 Ip, at Godaddy. What is the correct way to interlink them, without getting penalties from big Google? Your feedback is much appreciated and reps will be awarded. Thank You in advance.
I'd wait on Dan Schultz, SSandeki or SweetFunny to give you an answer - they all seem very 'in the know' and their advice almost seems rhetoric In the sense that their knowledge leaves you looking like this....
The short answer is to redirect the keyword domains to the main Web site. As for the main site itself, you'll have to promote that to the search engines. Now, with regard to the PM you sent me... I'll send you a reply to it.
The reason why I suggested redirecting the additional domains is two-fold. One, you don't want to appear to be operating a link farm or otherwise attempting to manipulate PageRank or the search indexing algorithm. The second is that you'd end up having to spend a LOT of time developing, optimizing, and marketing/promoting those other sites to be worth it. You'll likely get far better results marketing the one site than several in this case.
fort lauderdale: definitely build out the domains you have with content on Wordpress like you're doing, you already know that redirecting them will not benefit you in a significant way. I would wait on interlinking them until you have them hosted on different class C ip's, after they are out of the sandbox and start to gain some rankings. My theory is if you start to interlink them now while they're on the same ip it looks suspicious and may raise a red flag
