Found the niche - do I make multiple sites?

Hey warriors,

I found some great niches by following advice given by people on here. Low competition and high potential, I think.

My little dilemma is now, what do I do, create separate domains for each sub-niche?

To explain a bit more, I have lots of great low competition keywords and they are all related.

So I could either create 1 niche site with 20 good pages OR create 10 niche websites with 2 or 3 pages.

What is the deal with Google no longer caring about keywords in your domain name? (If it's even true).

My keywords are all related to be able to be put together on the same site.

What would you do?

    I would go with one domain as close as possible to you niche and just mainly focus on that.

    The downside to having loads of subdomains is its a lot harder to work on 3 or 4 websites. Plus it is much easier for back link building etc with one main focus and working on that to make it as good as possible. Good Luck.

    I will prefer to concentrate on one domain and develop it as an authority site. Having too many small sites is a waste of time according to me.

    Definitely go with one domain. It's a lot easier to focus and build up one site than several.

    Go with one domain first. When you hit #1 position for you 20-30 keywords, buy a new hosting account and build new targeted websites for those keywords worth it.

    This will give you a chance to get those extra 20 % and have a backup when some of your rankings drop. Do not interlink the backlink network between the two projects.

    I would stay with one site, and target each keyword using that one site. It will give your site more 'muscle'. The Big G love sites with authority

    Obviously start with one, and once you have it to a certain level and you have more time, you can launch a second, and then a third.

    I'd go deep with one domain. By deep I mean 20 pages or so.

    All of my sites that have this characteristic have performed well on the organic SERP.

    Google seem to love deep site nowadays, not a thin one.

    For me, too narrowly focused keywords are like slipping into a straight-jacket. Open those keywords up, only slightly, so they are broader, more inclusive, and I have the freedom to write forever without risking being slapped down by the search engines.

    Your actual mileage may vary, of course, but once the website is done, which only seems to take forever, it takes no more than an hour or two each week to "revise and extend" it with blog posts. The rest of the time I can be developing my sales funnel.

    I would suggest keeping it on one domain if they are somewhat related.

    It will be easier for SEO and many different things. Also, it will appear to be a more HQ website because of the 20 pages to visitors.

    There are many more reasons I can keep talking about, but these are some main ones.
