Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2006 1:38 pm Post subject: Mini Site Networks
It's me again!!!
Again with the SEO,
Mini site networks, used to create inbound links to sites, obviously each site should have completely unique content and possibly not link directly to the main site. Google hasn't said much against these type of sites, except postpone new sites for a couple of months with the new update, trying to force site owners to come up with other alternatives as in unique content.
But are there penalties to using such a strategy if the sites are up and running....... _________________ Web Development Cape Town
I agree with "unique content" and then linking to your sister site.
one site that sells the products.
Another site that is full of info in the subject of the (possibly niche) product(s).
Maybe even another site that is a directory of sites in the same field (not linking to competitors ofcourse)
Example using tools (if you were to sell them)
site 1. the site selling tools
site 2. how to use tools and tips on safe use.
site 3. link to tool sites(not competitors) maybe other informative sites, manuals, safe use, OSHA, etc..
Hope I didn't read your post wrong. I think I went the direction you were asking about. If I didn't then hit me with it again.
If I could use EDIT in this part of the forums I would have added this to my last post.
I don't know of any penalties in this way.
If you had matching content on more than one site or sisiter sites linking to each other on the same ip then you could expect something negative from Google.
I forgot to tell you that all these sites were perfectly indexed by GG and had PR. (btw: I didn't check them all) But you know GG: what's hot today, is banned tommorow. I would make absolutely sure to make each site unique, keep the interlinking on a VERY modest level and definitely don't use the same C-class IP. _________________ Please review some sites.

Forgot another thing. Like all SEO: pure speculation, deduction, gut-feeling and hear-say or to put it in plain Dutch: "what the hell do I know?" _________________ Please review some sites.

Hit the nail on the head there!! in the next few months, should be posting an article on the SEO industry...... gonna be real interesting..... _________________ Web Development Cape Town
Hmmmm, now that's interesting. all have PR. but now, is this just temporary as jagger was only end november 2005, how long would these sites have before they are dumped? they are indentical, but different domains and perhaps IP's. but the content is the same, so duplicate content wouldn't apply here either.
It's a circle of unknowns and guessing........ _________________ Web Development Cape Town
Yes, a lot of SEO is guesswork. Different SEO's know tidbits that they have tested that others don't know. There are some things I have tested but don't share and then there are discussions in forums turn into saying "yeah, that makes sense" and it becomes a semi believable fact or at least something to go on than the nothing we usually have.
If a person was to go through all of Googles FAQ they would find that we know very little as to what Google is ever up to. We depend on assumptions and testing. Sometimes that testing turns into discovery or coincidence.
Reading what Matt Cutts has to say is about the closest we ever get to facts from a person in the know.
Some more of that SEO guesswork:
If more than one site is a 100% duplicate, only the oldest domain known to Google with that content gets credit for it. I honestly don't know if this is based on domain age or known content age. The other duplicates drop in listings considerably, but don't vanish from the listings.
interesting. probably from date indexed initially. would explain why older sites have preference in listings.
in other words - site networks are not bad - if you get it right - and the content is something of value to the user - until the next update _________________ Web Development Cape Town
