Need advice on seo site question

I have several different domains selling reports (ebooks) that I have written, or bought the resale rights to. I do ok, but promoting many different sites, with article submissions, backlinks, posting to blogs, and site maintenance has become a pain. I'm not an outsource type of guy.

Here's my question. These books are on totally different subjects like saving money, recipes, relationships, depression ect. I am thinking of putting them all on one domain, with a blog, on the same domain. mydomain.com/blog

This way I can put all my efforts into one domain and the sub pages for the individual books, and post to one blog. Also all my promoting like article submissions and such can all be directed at one domain.

Will this work for the search engines. My concern is that I have books on many different topics. I would be posting to free blogs, and my blog with posts on completely different subjects, and submitting article to the directories in the same way.

Will the search engines accept this as good content, or punish me. I write all my content that I post on the sites, and in the blogs, so it is not duplicate.

I need to know from some warriors out there, that know more about this than me.

Thanks Glenn

    I would say that it will be difficult to be on the first page of google. You need to focus on one keyword per site. I think you will loose traffic if you put all your ebook on one site.

    Why you don't want to outsource, it is not hard.

      It's a common misconception, but not true.

      Google (and the others) attribute keywords to pages, not to domains/sites.

      How else would it happen that sites like wikipedia and about.com show up in top spots for a diverse range of topics?

      Of course I'm not suggesting a site offering a few pages with ebooks would compete with wiki. :-)

      Building 1 domain with several topics actually will give you google love as your page gets bigger and gets updated more often.

      I suggest to create a sub-folder for each niche and fill it not only with 1 page for 1 book but over time add several pages per niche.

      Make sure to SEO each single page and learn about how to build good internal site linking structures. Most people ignore it but it can add a lot to your sites value doing internal linking properly.

    Why wouldn't the search engines like your content, long as it's quality, not duplicate, ect? Amazon covers many subjects/niches, same for Ebay and many other sites.

    You just need to make sub folders, or categories for each. What's going to make it fly or flop is your SEO and back links, which sounds like you have a handle on already. You'll also need to get related back links to those sub pages, of course..

    I've had blogs covering a number of different niches, worked for me.

    You should try the method I outline here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...lly-works.html

    For each of your sites, simply install wordpress to a directory like /blog or /news, and link to it from the footer of your homepage.

    Then, instead of using the GoCodes and affiliate links, just make the links point back to your homepage.

    That should get you started doing some automated back link building and you'll start getting those ranks you want.

    If you want to go this route, PM me and I can give you more info. I wouldn't do what you say and put them all on one domain, especially if they're about all kinds of different things. For maximum SEO and rankings on your keywords, keep it focused. At least, that's been my experience. Get the keywords in the domain, title, headline. Get some keyword based incoming links, and you're golden.

    Hope that helps!
