Salvaging niche site failures
- SEO |
hello
I've been at niche site building for several months now, and have several sites built for myself. My main site is doing well in google, and is making money daily.
Around the beginning of the year I started several more sites, hoping to match the success of my main site. However, the sites I launched during this period of time are generally doing very poorly. One of them was launched late December and is still doing very poorly in page one search results, and I suspect it has to do with high page 1 competition for the keyword.
I've been using a MNF trial lately, and have found some much more manageable keyword phrases to target in the same niche.
My question to you Warriors out there:
Is is wise to salvage articles from these failed sites? Just rip them wholesale and repost them on a new site?
I'm not worried about accrued backlinks - for the sites involved, i either don't have massive amount of backlinks pointed to them, and those WITH many backlinks pointed to them, they're still not enough to rank well for any of my original targeted terms.
I paid enough money to have them written, and I don't want to simply let them go to waste.
However, I suspect that there are duplicate content penalties possible for such actions. If I delete the content from the original site, will that suffice to prevent a penalty? Should I wait for a few months for the sites to deindex to missing articles?
Thanks
