SEO Question

[Zona]

I've got an SEO question for you experts here at NP.

Is there any page-rank benefit to pointing all of your undeveloped domains to a developed domain? If you have 500-600 undeveloped names and you forward all of them to a new site, besides picking up some additional visitors, will Google give you any PR bump for this?

Thanks.

not unless those undeveloped domains have pr in them which is very rare.

Thanks weblord. +Rep.

for whatever motive you have if you gonna sell afterwards then if you stop the redirects the flow of pr juice will stop as well, it's an easy and cheat way to increase pr but it's not permanent, as soon as the redirects stops the domain will show it's real pr which is unfair for the buyer/new owner. it's better to increase pr with social bookmarking, directory manual submission, blogging, forum ads/sigs, classified ads site posting rather doing what you posted on first post. it's more lasting and natural and increasing the pr too for long term.

I've thought about this myself since I have a bunch of domains parked and a few developed. What I do is I use a parking company that allows you to add custom content, add a bit of original content to the sites that relate to my developed site (similar industry/keywords), and then add a link to the developed site. I somehow believe that a link from a poorly developed site/page is better than a redirect.

I don't have anything underhanded planned. I've just got a pretty solid portfolio of undeveloped names and I wondered if forwarding them to one of my new sites would give me PR bump.

Parking is paying so little today and to developed 500+ names even into mini-sites would take some signficant time. I thought I might be better off to bump-up the PR of my new site.

PR could be easily bumped with some High PR links.

But yes if those domains of yours which are just sitting idle and are getting some traffic which you think is going wasted on parking pages. Then you can redirect them. But as for PR it will not be much helpful.

SEO is your body and PR is your popularity. If Bill Gates talk about your body in the meeting board, so your popularity become top.

For example, to get PR of 7 you need at least 3 links from PR 8 or half a thousand links from PR 5. With correct relinking (the correct system of links to internal pages and main page within a site) you can get the results you need much faster.

Zona,

As InterestedEnough mentioned, I would suggest that you park with a service that allows you to not only customize your domains, but also to promote them (most don't allow this but some do). The results may not be as good as mini sites, but it will also be much less work. You can start by adding the keywords in the domains to the optimization (title, description, and keywords), make sure the domain is showing proper images, and that the links and keywords are ok. Later you can go back and add content or change image/keywords to see if you can get things showing that people will click on. The traffic reports for searches should give you clues or slap you in the face with what you should be using.

Then you can add original (or not) content and cross-link your domains where there are simular topics. You will have to decide when to link to your other domains or a main site, but I tend to wait until the domain has at least some PR. I think it is natural for some crap/no PR sites to link to you, but if there are hundreds... well I don't know. You can also get outside links to your domains (again, if allowed) just like you would for a mini site. Hint: some directories will take listings for parked domains, but some won't.

We have been working on this and have some parked domains that have reached PR4, but not many so far, and it takes 2-3 months to start seeing any PR at all with new domains.

If you have domains and park them on a main domain or site, I don't think you will seem much gain that will last. Perhaps just the traffic/links that each brings. A 301 redirect might be better and I have seen some signs that PR gets passed that way, but no proof. It would be more trouble than it's worth to set up 500 redirects, IMO. I also think the redirect will cause some links to either be changed to point directly or be dropped.

I've been thinking about trying this: Set up a site on a specific topic with lots of content. Point a domain there and get some links to help it be indexed. Leave it that way for 3-6 months. Then park the domain with a parking provider and set it up with the same kind of optimization. Then take another domain and point it towards the site and start the process over again. Yeah, it's kind of an "incubation" process to get things started.

theoretically 301s should completely pass any pr but setting up all the redirects could take some time, and be a waste of time if there aren't any links pointing to or traffic going to those domains.

as for the domain incubation, remember to mask the domains!

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about...?

 

[Gynie]

I would but some turnkey scripts into some of your undeveloped names and some might even get PR and with so many domains you can't go wrong! :D

what i meant was to remember to keep the "real address" of the site hidden from people who are linking to you / visiting / etc so they keep linking to the pointing domain instead of linking to the final pointed domain.

not sure if i just confused everyone even more

non quality = non quality

it never gift benifits,, its useless.

Well you can try it out.

But don't see any use.

Instead would recommend you setting a blog and doing a bit of link building would help you get pr 2 easily

I don't know if this is exactly correct but it looks interesting

Thanks for sharing it
