New to SEO - What should I do with my sites now?

13 Nov 08 10:08 pm

Hi Nirgal, it seems that you have bought yourself quite a few niche sites. Here are a few questions you might want to ask yourself.

1. How am I going to get traffic to my sites?
2. How much does it cost to maintain, update and host these sites?
3. What niche or area of interest do I want to focus on?

You happen to be part of this forum, so I have no doubt that you will get the advice and support that you need. I myself just found this forum and I absolutely love it already. There is some great training here for us newbies, better than what I have seen most anywhere else and it's free to start with.

Now before I get too long winded, let me just say that I agree with EvoBilly about the abundance of ads and lack of content.
I went to almost all of the sites you posted and although I seen a couple of interesting items, for the most part I would not make a purchase (just being honest here) for various reasons.

I also bought a niche site that I thought would make me a ton of money but at the time I had no idea how to drive traffic to it. I am just now learning how to do that, so there is still hope, but at the same time it cost $37 a month to maintain and host the site. The reason I bought this particular site is because it serves a niche I have great personal interest in, natural health and wellness. I f you would like to take look at it and give some feedback I would greatly appreciate it. It can be found at http://welmac1.allinonehealth.com.

If nothing else I would try to pick just a couple of those sites that you have and try to monetize them and pretty much ditch the rest. I hope this has been helpful.

Peace,

Terry

Hi Nirgal, which anchor text are you referring to?

14 Nov 08 9:48 pm

Ok Nirgal here's what i got for you today, i did some research on 3 of your sites and here's what i came up with.

1. diamondempire.us-10,000,000 search results, you're #4 on the 8th page- not good

2. electronicgadgetonline.com-over 2 million results, could not find you in the first 10 pages of a regular search, however i did find you at the top of the 1st page when i searched for your exact domain name. again not good because the average consumer is not going to know your exact domain name to search for, they are going to use general search terms like
electronics or electronics gadgets or maybe even consumer electronics

3. theblackjacksecrets.info- first of all whoever has blackjacksecrets.com is going to all of the traffic you are trying to get in a regular search. second theblackjacksecret.com is offering a free report on the subject. third after 10 pages of search results i could not find you.

all i'm saying here is that consumers are not going to go though page after page of search results to find what they are looking for, most people stop at the first page before they pick something to go with, some may go as far as as say 3-5 pages. but anything beyond that i would not count on. now i am not an seo expert by any stretch of the imagination but it does not seem to me that your sites are truly optimized like you have been led to believe.

Hopefully someone here with more experience will pick up on this to help you as well.

Hope this helps,

Be aware that there are two "types" of search engine optimization: The "on page" SEO and the "off page" SEO. On-page includes the way your site is linked together, the use and position of keywords in your page, etc.

Off-page is mostly about getting links to your site, and having those links use your important keywords.

They might have sold them to you with the on-page SEO "done", but you need to do the off-page stuff yourself. Looking at one of the sites I see that the meta-tags are stuffed full of keywords. Some people might consider that as "optimized".

I suggest you see the lessons on search engine optimization for more information... there's quite a lot of stuff, but it's just a few basic concepts to wrap your head around.

In general, these sorts of sites aren't particularly wise investments. Particularly if there are ongoing costs. They're hard to SEO because they lack content, and you're trying to do things to a site that you didn't build, and thus you have no idea how things actually work. It would drive me mental!

It's a much better bet to start from scratch and try to build one yourself. It might not look as fancy as these ones, but at least you'll know how it works and you'll be able to change things.
