Wondering How Long it will Take For Your Site To Rank on Google? Well, Keep Wondering.....

Oh yes, Don't ever believe an SEO company when they say they can guarantee specific results in a certain amount of time. Unless you pay-per-click, there is no guarantee. It's constant effective work that yields results. Thanks for the comments!

Having several domains is a good idea but really only if they are keyword rich. Having, for example, BobTimm.com is fine but if you already have http://www.minothome.com. This is a much better keyword rich domain. You can buy domains such as Minothomes.com Minothomesforsale.com MinotNDHome.com etc... but not buyfromme.com

This is not helpful to your site. BUT all these do nothing if they are not redirected properly. Wherever you have purchased your domain such as godaddy.com make sure they are 301 redirected. THis means  no matter what people type in, how you show up on search engines and for what keyword or domain, all resources point back to one site. (unless you have actual different sites with different content on each like a realty site and rental site) You domain provider will tell you how to redirect these properly.

Ella, The first site you gave me www.EReape.yourkwagent.com doesn't appear to go anywhere or be valid. Is there something missing?

You want to use the domain that you direct all of your keywords to. Such as at the bottom: Luxury Homes in Southern New Hampshire.

If you don't know whether your domains are set up properly type them in the address bar and see where they go. If they go to EllaReape.com BUT still say in the address bar the address you just typed in as with every consecutive page you go from there, then they are not redirected properly and Google is seeing them all as separate, DUPLICATE sites. BAD.....

If you type in the domains and they all are redirected to Ellereape.com and the address at the top changes to Ellereape.com, then they are redirected properly.

Use one main domain to direct all additional domains too. Don't redirect each site to each other and back and forth.... to confusing. Make sure each domain you buy is redirected to your one, main site - again, this means that the URL in the address bar changes back to the main site no matter which domain you enter. Does that make sense?

PS - Your site looks good but I would try and make sure you add more keywords to the homepage and highlight them and link them to different pages in the site. Google doesn't pay that close attention to menu's and side bars.

Ella- Check out my previous blog about the linking keywords in text - It will tell you how to do it and more importantly give examples at the bottom. There is a good balance cause you don't want keyword stuffing but you want enough also.

Yes, make sure all domains go back to only one site because Google will see them as two separate sites with the exact content. You can spin the marketing to clients however is easier, but for Google to rank you well, they all must revert back to one site with one domain as the main one. Hope this helps and really do check out that other blog as it talks about keywords and where you service.

Ask me anything anytime... and remember, I can always do this for you! ;-)

I am NOT one for having 18,000 domains just for the sake of it. It costs money and I am not about wasting money for the sake of having every domain on the planet. HA... BUT to give you an example, we own personalseo.com and some other yahoo has personalseo.net and it's not a similar business at all nor does he do any work. I would love to have that domain as well but am just waiting until he goes away to get it. I optimize only one and the other is just in case someone didn't know where to go for sure. HAve one website, optimize the heck out of it, and if you need another domain that truly makes sense, the redirect it properly and you should be good to go.
