:rofl: AZForeclosureListings.com/

I own over 150 domain names, and I was just told today I should be using them all, and pointing the links to each other. They told me all I had to do is tweak the content a little.

How risky is this?

I'll stick my bare xxx out this window behind me before I do something like that... Temp = 15F, feels like 7F

Lot of pain, hardly any gain.

Bad, bad idea.

If you want them all to carry the same content and all of their respective links to help with rankings, simply pick one, the best, most marketable domain name in the bunch and use a 301 re-direct on the other 149 to point to that single one. Then, all of the link value that any of those sites carry will be transferred to that one, single site.

But, the situation you describe is a form of spam and manipulation that the search engines, particularly Google, are very aware of and will shut down with ease. It's a tactic that was effective 2-3 years ago, but no longer is.

I don't really understand what he wants to do: use 149 sites and link all of them to your main site? Very dangerous

Or interlink them, for example site 3 links to 4, 39, 83 ; site 5 links to site 123, 34, 4 etc?? If they are all on the same IP, very dangerous too.

I do not understand the last paragraph-

By the way, I was told about doing this from Aplus.net/ - where I buy my domain names. :ph34r: Seems like they would rather sell me my own server than help me as a person. Then i check with a friend of mine and he agreed- I thought it was spam.

How about designing content around the domain name, and then pointing them to each other?

Also, I use freeserves.com to host my domain names- anything wrong with them?

[sansonj]

Where I am also running into some issues with my domain names and it is killing me- how can BrilliantLenders.com/ have a PR of 4 while KINGofHUD.com/ has a PR of 2?

[FP_Guy]

Ditto

[DonnaFontenot]

A bit of advice... Never, ever take SEO advice from a hosting company.

[sansonj]

What makes google give BrilliantLenders.com/ a PR of 4 while KINGofHUD.com/ has only a PR of 2?

[Nadir]

Maybe it has more links and it's older. What's the problem if it has a bigger PR anyway, you can't sleep at night?

[sansonj]

I own both of them, and the KINGofHUD is way older and way more links. It makes no since on the PR- one is 2 and the other is 4.

[Nadir]

It's not the number of links that matters, but the quality, some links might have been given more importance than others.

[sansonj]

You should pull these two up and you will see it does not make since.

[sansonj]

after asking about BrilliantLenders.com/ in here it dropped from a 4 to a rightly owed 1 PR. Hmm fishy, but anyhow that is where it belongs with its limited links to it.

If you have to take a guess: how many PR 3 sites does it take pointing at your site to make it a PR 5 site?

[Nadir]

I would say 56, no maybe 57, or maybe 58.

First off, page rank is not a simple numbers game.
Secondly, linking here will not have an effect either way, no matter how many times you place a link.

Thank you, so I will start working on that.

[Nadir]

James, that was a joke, sorry. Maybe it was not very funny
No one can pretend to know how many links you need to get a certain PR, that's why I made this comment...

If you do want to improve your PR in order to eventually increase your traffic, I would say make sure you get links from highly relevant sources. In your case, get links from people related to the loan industry, or even financial web sites etc.

But a higher PR is not something that will increase your rankings for sure. You often see pages with a PR 2 that ranks better than PR 5, 6 etc.
I guess that's because these pages are judged more relevant by Google, who doesn't only look on the number of links, but also on content, age of the page, quality of links etc.

Hope it helps, sorry for the joke!

Well, in short I have some work a head of me.
