Need a quick SEO question answered regarding domains!

Ross Cohen · 08-22-2011, 02:57 PM

So say you have phone-reviews.com and cellular-reviews.com (just an example, have no association to either).

Say you want to use both, but want the same content on them too as you're simply trying to target the people that type in both variations of the domain (as in, phones are the same as cellular).

Is there a way for both to get highly ranked without both having different, unique content?

no
Set one to noindex and disallow the googlebot in the robots.txt

Then promote the **** out of the other.
Link from the non indexed one back to the indexed one for good measure

Depends on the keyword(s) that get ranked. I've seen the exact same articles I have on many different directories end up in the Top 10 at Google, but never for a really competitive keyword. If the structure (template, WP theme, layout, links, etc.) are sufficiently different on both sites, it's possible.

No! It's better to just find a good person to rewrite the articles for cheap, keeping in your main keywords. Or you could always save the money and do it yourself.

Hm.. thank you for the answers! Still pretty confused though. There won't be many articles as it's mainly a comparison site (both of them). Looks like I can make one "good" one and having the other wouldn't do much good, especially if the content was the same (probably would instead provide a negative effect for the "good" site too).

It wouldn't work to have the same content on both the sites even though you want to rank for different keywords. Duplicate content, be it yours or not is never really liked. This goes for the articles as well, if you submit the same article to a number of different sites, the article loses its value. Try to get something different for both the sites, Make the changes prominent so that the users and Search Engines recognize them and then promote only one. If you have them linked then for different keywords both will benefit.
