Hi guys, Many of you are SEO Experts, and we all know that Google loves exact match domains with relevant quality contents. I mean, most of the time if you have an emd with a low competition keyword, and you install a simple wordpress blog with a few unique keyword rich articles, high chances are your site will land in the top 3 spots on Google Page 1. For example, we own a 2 words celebrity name domain such as CelebrityName.com with over 150,000 exact searches and millions of pages on Google. We installed WordPress on it with an Autoposting Plugin posting only related news, videos and products from amazon related to that celebrity and soon our site was ranking 3rd on Google Page 1 for that celebrity name beating most of the authority news sites etc. Moreover, the first image of that celebrity on image search was from our site. Not only that the site achieved a PR2. We also added Adsense to monetize it further, so to say the site was making some good cash. But 10 months down the lane, Google completely de-indexed the site after sending a message that the site is not complying with their rules or something like that. Well, I’ll not take the name of the Autoposting Plugin here, it’s one of my favorite one, and I don’t want to tarnish its name as we’re not sure if that’s why Google punished the site. To further clarify, even when the site was on the top spots of Google Page 1 we used to build dodgy links without following any particular SEO blueprint or so, and we used many link building tools. So there could have been many reasons why Google de-indexed the site. That site is still not showing on Google, and we didn’t have the time to further investigate the reasons and eliminate the cause of the problem. The thing is, we own hundreds of premium emds, many of them rank very well for the exact keyword search terms. Some of them are only parked domains and still they are on the 2nd or 3rd page. Now we are little afraid of auto blogging or building mass links to boost them further. I mean, these are really valuable premium domains and we are afraid of ruining them applying tricky seo techniques. On the other hand if we want to monetize these domains quickly than Auto Blogging may be the best options. So the big question is what’s the safest way of doing SEO with EMDs? Is there such a seo blueprint that we could follow that is most effective to dominate Google with emds? Let us all discuss here the safe ways of doing seo fast and effectively. Any ideas, suggestions from all you SEO experts there is much appreciated.

EMD's did receive a hit in the last algorithm update. However I have noticed that they still perform well for certain keywords. For example I have an EMD for a 5k exact match education keyword and with ZERO link building I hit #3 on the first page. Positions #1 & #2 were the same site and would be pretty easy to beat had I had the time to develop the site further. I only had 7 small (500 word) articles on there, however the key here is that they were unique. I cannot see an autoblog being able to perform in Google these days and I think more effort is required to create unique content. Even if you have to write yourself or pay for it. These algo changes are there to get rid of 95% of the lazy IMers and the other 5% will pull together and add more value to their sites in order to make them a long term income generator. Auto blogs IMO are short term money generating sites that will just as quickly get dropped from google (as you have found).
I pretty much agree with you, Google is trying to kill Auto Blogs. I think they are particularly targeting wordpress with this popular auto blogging plugin. So what’s the next best way of developing 100s of websites very quickly? And how to build valuable seo links to them so Google loves them more?
