Help with a "broken" adsense site
- SEO |
The problem is the site is a total mess. The design will be easy to fix up but my concern is content. Currently the site has over 188K pageviews a month and over 40,000 indexed pages BUT it's all unoriginal content. I knew this when I purchased it because I see it as a fixer upper and am willing to put some time/money into getting it sorted out.
Can anyone offer suggestions on what they would personally do?
I thought of 2 scenarios:
1) Get the site completely redesigned and then 'hide' the archived posts from the main site. So the archived/indexed pages that are unoriginal would not be visible from the home page but would continue to get traffic/adsense earnings and then I can produce original content for the main site that's visible.
--> The pros would be less work and cons would be still a total mess and google would still be annoyed at the unoriginality of the site.
2) Hire a writer to go in and rewrite all the posts so they are more original/not copied. Obviously this would be a lot of costly work but in the long run it could improve the rankings since the seller told me his traffic dropped some since his content was unoriginal. It would also help build the site's popularity and I can take it to the next level without 'skeletons' in my closet so to speak.
3) Another idea?
thanks so much warriors.
