Hi guys,
I have a question i am doing a website for my parents they got a domain for their business just the name eg Timber Company
but if i register domains eg Timber-Processing.com,Timber-Kilns.com, or Saw-mills.com or even Band-saw-Saw-mills.com would this boast SEO ranking of their default site if all those ones i register above get redirected to timbercompany.co.nz website?
Thanks,William
William, see this recent thread: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?785843-keyword-rich-domain regarding keywords in domain names.
As far as your other question, no. Registering a domain name is very different from building a website. If you were to register all of those domains and then redirect visitors to a single site, search engines will simply ignore the alternate domains since there is no content on them. Now, if you built complimentary websites on each of those domains and setup links to the main site, you might see some benefit but it’s going to be a lot of work for the little potential benefit coming back to you. Your best bet is to stick with the single domain for your website and promote it as best you can.
