If you are using the domains to complement each of the other and they are not all identical then I would not see too much of a problem. But if the second portion was used then I might see how it would be affected in the search engines. I do not believe that SEO is the life bloodline of a business website, but it can help most sites. If you are able to use other marketing avenues like you would in physical businesses then you may not need to worry about SEO at all. Although it would not hurt any if you did.

Also, a lot of sites tend to clutter their title tags with highly searched keywords. Google is known to ignore such sites and treats them as spam… Great article.

Some very good points made. No seo consultant can absolutely guarantee a webmaster of ranking on the first page forever for a certain set of keywords unless they are updated with the changes the search engines employ, even the experimental algorithms. Yes, the metatags hardly help any these days and not many webmasters, who have been around for a while, are big on the metatags.

Too true. In some ways I think it’s great that Google changes its algorithm. They created it for their own purposes and I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who use it to game the system (without really providing quality content). Of course it does make it harder for those of us just trying to improve our search results as well as our content.

Not to mention that when the algorithm gets leaked and abused, it gets changed, and the order is FUBAR for a week or so.

If the companies were to collaborate, they could get a huge list of malicious and cheating websites and have them permanently barred from the search results listings.

The meta tags thing still works with yahoo and msn and other search engines but not with google, which is what matters the most. Its better to focus on keyword density, just don’t overdo it, and get back links. Try to get anchored backlinks if you want to get more authority for a keyword. This can help people find you through google.

I agree that sites that like to promise a high ranking couldn’t deliver what they promised because search engines like Google is very selfish and they didn’t want other companies making cash out of their page rank. I think that this is the same reason that has made them on pursuing Payperpost in the first place.

Good insights on SEO marketing especially about meta tags and the use of multiple domains. Besides deliberate black hat practices, innocent mistakes highlighted above also hurts businesses and results in failure to secure good search results placement.

I think the point about flash movies is true — and it would be true for other kinds of graphics and pictures as well. If some critical keyword is only inside a picture then Google is not going to see it. So what you want to do is have good content to go along with whatever kind of movies or pictures you put up.

I don’t think that meta tags are that important so I never bother to create one whenever I’m creating a new article on my site. I like doing SEO like forum signature, blog commenting, passing my site to those social sites. I believe that this is the best thing to do because a search engine likes to crawl it for updates.
