Keyword rich domains
-
Hi,
Our site is beingthere.com.au
We are in the business of video conferencing in Australia.
I was wondering if there would be any benefit of purchasing keyword rich domains such as
www.video streaming.net.au
What would be the benefit(s)?
And
How would I go about using these domains to maximise SEO benefit?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Guys,
I just registered on www.videoconferencing.com.au directory
http://www.videoconferencing.com.au/beingthere-video-conferencing-australia/
Hopefully this will assist with ranking for 'video conferencing'
Thanks for all your help

Don't underestimate the money-making ability of an info site.

I agree with Dignan. You will need to give up beingthere.com.au and replace it with videoconferencing.com.au.
Is there any other way of using these URLs to boost SERP for the 'video conferencing' keyword?
Not in any way that I think will work effectively.
-
Yes you would change it, but you would most likely do a 301 redirect from the old site to the new site so you do not lose pagerank.

Thanks dignan99

Thanks Egol,
Can you please confirm I am correct in my understanding, if I were to purchase any of these keyword rich domains i would need to change the root URL of our site to www.videoconferencing.com.au rather than beingthere.com.au?
Is there any other way of using these URLs to boost SERP for the 'video conferencing' keyword?
thanks
Dan

HI Dan,
The only way there would be value in purchasing those, IMHO, is if you had a stellar piece or hardware or software that may have a chance at dominating the industry. An informational site would not be worth the potential high cost of such ketyword rich domains, as software or hardware companies that dominate them have no need for this.
The keyword rich domain name ship has already sailed.
-
I would be getting in touch with them right away. At least before they see this thread.
They will probably want a mint for those domains but if you know what to do with them they could be really valuable.
-
I Agree with Egol, and actually http://www.videoconference.com.au/ and http://www.videoconferencing.com.au/ are both parked domains and probably for sale. Check http://whois.domaintools.com for owner details.

Those would probably be a little easier to rank for exact match keywords. However, the problem will be lots of people will forget about the .net and type .com. That might not sound like a big deal, however, the more successful your business becomes the more traffic and money you will loose to the guy who owns the .com.
If you are serious about this business try to get the .com. It might cost thousands but you will lose that much over time. Or, attack with your current domain which sounds brandable.

Does the domain extension effect domain authority and ranking
We have produces a website on a .company domain extension. We have produced a good sized website with unique content. However the DA remains at 1. There are no high priority issues in the page crawl. We suspect that the domain extension may be causing a lower DA. Is this a ranking factor?

One server, two domains - robots.txt allow for one domain but not other?
Hello, I would like to create a single server with two domains pointing to it. Ex: domain1.com -> myserver.com/ domain2.com -> myserver.com/subfolder. The goal is to create two separate sites on one server. I would like the second domain ( /subfolder) to be fully indexed / SEO friendly and have the robots txt file allow search bots to crawl. However, the first domain (server root) I would like to keep non-indexed, and the robots.txt file disallowing any bots / indexing. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to tackle this one? Thanks!

I've consolidated other domains to a single one with 301 redirects, yet the new domain authority in MOZ is much less that the redirected ones. Is that right?
I'm trying to increase the domain authority of my main site, so decided to consolidate other sites. One of the other sites has a much higher domain authority, but I don't know why after a 301 redirect, the new site's domain authority hasn't changed on over a month. Does MOZ take account of thes types of things?

Preferred domain
In GWT it gives an option to do the following but which is best? and why? If you specify your preferred domain as http://www.example.com and we find a link to http://example.com, we'll consider both links the same. | <label for="no_assoc">Don't set a preferred domain</label> |

Domain authority not showing on root domain?
I was going through our site earlier w/ the mozBar (still learning the tools, new here) and saw the attached image. There were far more links to the subdomain (#s on the left) than the root domain (#s on right). This is strange to me, because we are not using any subdomains. All links point to either our root domain or subfolders off our root domain. Is this hurting our ranking for the root domain? Not sure what's up with this. Zz9j0.jpg

Keyword ranking not moving
Hello, We have a very important keyword for our website (www.decorplanet.com) that hasn't moved in any direction in over a year. The keyword is "bathroom vanities". Our current SEO company has told us that the previous company has "over- optimized/linked" for this particular keyword and now Google is penalizing us for this. They told us that we need to leave it alone for a while and concentrate on other keywords and this one should naturally come back up (I should mention that at some point, we were much higher than where we are right now for that particular keyword). Many of our other high-profile keywords have been moving nicely to the first page. Keywords like "modern bathroom vanities", "antique bathroom vanities", "contemporary bathroom vanities", but the one that we really want ("bathroom vanities") hasn't budged at all. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. Is it possible that Google put us in some sort of a "sand-box" - I mean we are on page 2 so it doesn't sound like that's the case. It's just very bizarre that we can't seem to do anything with this keyword. Really appreciate any thoughts or input on this.
