Better one site for all content or four separate sites?

Hi,
I am the owner of four websites in Japanese formy company.
Oneof the sites is for the company itself and each one of the other three is for each family of products.
I thought this would be the best wasy way to approach the market as then each customer could go directly to each site and check
Moreover, I thought this would be the best from a SEO point of view as then I would be able to target keywords and seo structure for each family of products independently
However, now problems are arising:
1) it is moreexpensive to maintain four different sites than one single one
2) I am not sure the overal ranking is better as having about 1/4 of the backlinks for each site does not improve each site position much,while it would be maybe better to have one single site with way more content and 4x times or 3x times the backlinks
I have initially thought that creating 4 sites would also help with having cross backlinks from one site to the other that would help gaining backlinks this way , but I am not sure it works/it is worth the effort.
On the other hand, having a solid website with lots of content in it for all the four families or products may indeed prove the best as you would reach a better placement with one single site than with each of the four sites independently

What are Google` s opinions on this?

    For two sites you need to do SEO work two times, I usually prefer just one site. Rank 1 in Google is better then four 3 ranks.

  • AS you like...
    In my opinion.... one site is good instead of work on 4 sites
    You can focus one website at a time

    I think that A single website is quicker to start, easier to maintain and very cost effective. Focusing single website model will allow you to build a better site much faster than multiple sites and to optimize in order to get better SEO results. Many Big companies follow single website model.

    hello dude, what i think is that you could really hit it better running a single website, and it will also be better i think, cause you will better attract folks to your website, and this with less work! One think i'll like to remind you to do is to make only sure you provide great posts overt there, so that you can catch new one, and keep the one you already have. Good luck with this!
