Currently when one of our clients has a project they want to get started we put our splash page up right away to get their new domain indexed. We now have a bunch of these out and we want to make sure we have them optimized to their fullest. Several of us here in the office think that the splash page should redirect to our homepage after several seconds. What are your thoughts about this? Is it effective? Does anyone have examples of splash pages that Search Engine Optimized to their fullest? Here is the domain I'm referring to with our splash page that needs assistance. http://www.artlorenzini.com
I wouldn't have them redirect to your homepage. If you plan to do any SEO work for these clients in the future and one site gets banned for some reason, it's possible google will see a record of the other sites all being associated to your site at one point and come to the conclusion that all the sites are being manipulated for rankings and ban them all. As for what to actually place on them. You want different content on each to avoid duplicate content filter from being triggered. Personally I'd just use a simple domain parking service like sedo.
