Good strategy or bad? Not sure. Help!

3 replies
I have a keyword rich domain that I have 3, 700-1000 word orginial review pages on. I have published those reviews also on Ezine.

I am only seeing about 2-3 uniques per day (of course the site has just been completed about a week). Would it be wise to now create a squidoo, blogger blog and a hub page pointed back to this domain?

I think there are mixed reviews on this type of linking so I'm just looking for some honest opinions.

Thanks guys!

    If you posted the reviews both on your website and Ezine around the same time then Ezine articles will probably end up getting the 'juice' for that review. Because Ezine is such a popular site, Google indexes their pages much faster than a site that has only been online for a week - I doubt whether your domain is even indexed yet?

    This means in Google's eyes Ezine were the first to publish those review and your website has just duplicated their original content. Not what has happened but that's how Google see's it.

    The smarter thing to do is either post them on your site first and wait until Google indexes them, then go and post them on the other article sites. Or even better, re-work the reviews so you have some unique versions of the same review that you can upload to your site and Ezine at the same time.

    Thanks Will for the insight. Didn't realize it worked that way. Now a more stupid question, how do I know if those reviews on my site have been indexed? I submitted my sitemap to google sitemaps and it was accepted, does that mean anything?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    doing site:* (replace * with your domain) will show you all pages currently indexed for that domain (no spaces and no www, just site:domain.com)
