Will this strategy work or get punished by google?

So this is what I'm upto. I am buying all key word rich domain names. I have close to 50 such domains right now. I have brought a few of them live and they all are on page 1. So the strategy is working pretty well. I bought them all on godaddy and am even hosting them there.

Here is what I plan to do. I plan to optimize all of them because I have resources available. Then instead of cross linking send one way link from all those sites to my main site.

The approach I am taking is to have as many key word domains as possible. So when people search for those key words they run into me. At the same time have all those sites vote my main site so it also gets high pr.

Do you guys see any problem with google here? I really have no idea if one way link from your site has any consequence.

Thanks!

    That's a good strategy I would like to know how that turns out.

      I don't believe you'll get penalised on your main site, but more likely Google will see all the incoming links as originating from the same location and either ignore or devalue them (unless they're on different IPs at GoDaddy)

      I've had a main site at 1 in Google for the main keywords which had links in around 30 others of mine all from the same IP pointing to it, but that main site also had incoming links from high PR .org domains (not mine), so it's difficult to tell if it was a combined impact or not. I suspect it was the .org links which forced the high ranking...and I've seen various suggestions on SEO forums that bear this out...it's quality over quantity which really counts.


      Suggestion would be to spread the domains about if you can on different hosting for improved impact.

        chaumi has a good point here. You need those 'satellite' sites to be on different IP blocks. Hosting them all at Godaddy probably won't get you penalized, but you won't see the same success as you would if they were on different IP ranges. Hope that helps.

    I was going to say the same thing about your ip's. I have mine on webhost4seo.com and this host has different ip's for each site. I also have different blogs for different ip's. It works ok with Google but I still need more natural links. But for MSN, it is smoking. I may only get 1000 hits per day on some of my sites from MSN using a strategy similar to yours but it turns into about $291 per day.

    Making all those websites rank in the serps seems a horrible job to me. You can only build a certain amount of backlinks in a given time. If you have too many domains your backlinking gets spread over many domains and nothing will get far.
    When I check backlinks of websites (I use diagnosticoweb.com most of the time) I see websites with quite a high page rank, but having most of their backlinks only from a couple of other websites. By this I mean the Google Backlinks. Less than 10 sites usually. May be 5 backlinks with PR 3-5 are far more worth than 50 PR 0-1 sites.
    Mostly they have many links on different pages of these sites.

    Google will know that you own all those domain names, yep it checks that info when ranking a site.. so if you have a bunch of spammy sites (not suggesting you have) Google will assume that your next site, and the one after etc will be just as spammy.

    On the other hand, if you have a bunch of high quality sites then Google will assume your next one will also be high quality.

      Whether you strategy is sound or not depends on one thing: Have you chosen the right keywords? If those keywords have little or no search volume, you may rank well, but never see much traffic. I would not call that a sound strategy.

      The key is in the method of selecting those keywords.
      Yeah fortunately I got hold of good high traffic key word rich domains. I usually go to google keyword tool before hunting for domain names. These words are with hyphen so they match exact search term that keyword tool showed me. Not all of them are .com but almost everyone is either .com, .net or .org. My niche though highly competitive is dominated by disorganized IM's. Thanks for bringing it to my attention bro!

      That is great information Thanks for sharing mate! Well my main goal is to capture the traffic that is hunting for those keywords and in the mean time also have back links from those sites to my main site.

      I might be in for a surprise as you mentioned but from my previous experience if you have the right key words domain with matching content you really do not have to do much for it be listed. At the same time I have advantage of coming from India. I have an army of people who can get the job done for me for pennies but I am hoping I would not need too much effort. Appreciate the input!

      Thanks mate! Yeah one thing I am very particular about is having good sites. It makes no sense to have traffic come to your domain and leave because it is spammy or they do not find it useful. As I mentioned above my goal is to capture traffic for those key words and send links to my 1 main site from all those other sites.

      I will post the results in few months for everyone here. By then I probably will also have most of the domains I need so won't mind sharing my niche

      Thanks everyone for the input, much appreciated!

    If all your domains have same registrant contact details then it work much for you because I think Google do check if domains are not owned by same owner.
    So try to get different registrant details as well C class Ip's for all those domains.

    I think you'll not be penalised, but I do not know how effective this strategy will be.

    In my opinion , as long as the backlinks to your main site are across various web mediums for eg. Web2.0 entities , blogs , forums , microsites , etc . Google will look upon it as more "natural" and definitely will not penalize. However I believe keyword selection/usage on your main site and anchor texts of backlinks should be a priorty before planning the linking strat
