You can definitely dominate in local listings. It's still possible, though it takes time and patience.

You can dominate local search listings if you can come up with content that is valued by the customers and attracts natural links. Quality content and natural links is the norm now.

With strong PR4+ backlinks you can do it, yes with a mini site. A lot of people who will tell you that PR is no longer relevant to Google "may be right" but high PR backlinks are working for me.

So to quickly answer your question - YES, if you know what you're doing!

This is not relevant to your question but I just want to get this out there... I don't follow Matt Cutts or read about the latest update or what Google is saying about PR, backlinks etc. I do my own tests! If Matt Cutts' info was legit then a lot of people would have good rankings, that guy's job is to create fear and illusion so people don't outsmart their search engine

So warriors, DON'T FOLLOW THE HYPE!

What HYPE?

The PR toolbar has not been updated for almost a year. Do you eat Eggs 9 months after their use-by-date ?

Your PR4 could be a PR0, your PR1 could be a PR5.

You might as well not look at anything really. Grab the darts out and start throwing, its all good right?

@OP
I think your Plastic Surgeon is smoking Botox.

If he wants lets say 30 mini sites, one for each service. Why doe he not just have one big authority site with 30 categories?
Or
1 main authority site with a 29 site PBN to make it an authority site.

Seems what hes thinking is anti-savvy if you ask me.

Thanks

Just do this here & be done with it.

Having an authority site with a small network of same niche sites all targeting same/similar keywords makes for easier long term SEO. All the sites in the same niche network feed off each other (relevant links).

LMAO at smoking BOTOX.

Next time when you read, don't rush. Make sure you understand! High PR backlinks are "WORKING FOR ME" when compared to any backlinks! I only build 3 to 5 backlinks for my niche markets and rank high I don't have 10000 backlinks!

Hype is following what the whole industry is saying. Just like what you said... "Your PR4 could be a PR0, your PR1 could be a PR5."

I don't even know what that means, I don't know what Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird does and I don't care. All I know is what works, period!

Does PBN stand for 'Performance Based Navigation'?

I can't imagine a real plastic surgeon even talking about search engine
domination.

Where on earth do you people live?

Sometimes I think you people make stuff up just to show you have
fake clients or something. Cuz this whole plastic surgeon as a prospective
client, marketing savvy, search engine domination is just nonsense.

If he really was a plastic surgeon and had marketing savvy,well, you people
fill in the rest. No way would this chap ever even think about such crapola.

Why wouldn't he want to rank for his industry keywords? That's like saying it's nonsense for Apple to want to rank for smartphones. :rolleyes:

To the OP the question isn't whether or not its possible, because it definitely is. You should be asking whether or not the mini sites would be more viable vs just targeting them all on 1 site. Better yet, if he's serious about "domination", then do both.

Man, if you think real plastic surgeons do that, you are too far gone.

First of all, plastic surgeons cannot handle an infinite amount of customers.
And the rest of the explanation is just logic. Nobody who is a real
doctor is going to worry about SEO. Period.

I can't even begin to fathom where this nonsense comes from. But you see it
time and time again.

Do you really think the doctor with the best SEO wins?!?!?!

Lunacy on a whole new level.

The way you jumped to that BS conclusion on the basis of him being a plastic surgeon is whats lunacy. You think he blows a magic whistle and women come begging for new tits? Real world plastic surgeons market their practice just as other businesses do. There's no infinite number of customers standing in line, and clinics that do see higher volume schedule in advance on this thing we call a calendar. It not like the dollar store where you just walk in and walk right back out with the goods.

lol Cmon Paul, numbers don't lie just look at the SERPS(plastic surgery). I guess in fantasy land those don't count as real doctors right? :rolleyes:

So plastic surgeons should include SEO in their lead generation strategy? I disagree, BUT... there is only one way to know.

Like all marketing the truth lies in the testing. Let's assume they have an online marketing budget that's intended to generate leads. X% should be for paid and X% for SEO. Then they can evaluate ROI and figure out which works best for them.

And even though they don't have infinite customers, they do have customers that are more profitable than others. By targeting those customers they can increase the profitability of their practice.

Back to napping for me...

Marketing savvy =/= Internet Marketing savvy. In my experience, pretty much a direct and proportional opposite! It's not their fault, internet marketing is a different and often opposite beast than non-internet marketing. But I can see where plastic surgeons are in a different marketing frame of mind than other surgeons.. lots of competition, especially if they happen to be in Beverly Hills.

So, let me guess.. he wants to set up something like www.bestbreastenlargementsurgeons.com and showcase breast enlargement pictures and articles with links and banners to his homepage, and do the same with www.bestpenisenlargementsurgeons.com and do the same, for all 500 different procedures that he does? I would talk him into just one big site with several pages, and after that he can work on directing mini-site type links towards those inner pages.

It was a joke, but yes, I have my own networks. Looking at a site's value purely from a "PR" perspective is a bad approach. You can have a high PR site that is penalized or passes zero authority and can hurt you, so you have to look at other variables as well. There are much better factors such as DA (domain authority) and PA (page authority). There are other factors you can measure as well. I always look at the sites link profile, anchor diversification, their Alexa ranking (does the site actually get traffic?), their overall ranking (does the site rank? If it does most likely there is value there) etc..

haha... cool. Yep I totally agree, but I was not saying PR is the only thing you have to look at. Obviously there's lots of factors...

The PR toolbar has not been updated since the beginning of the year. PR is based on "Inbound Links" to a page. Those inbound links would have naturally changed in number and strength across every webpage online since the last PR update.

This makes the usage of the PR toolbar "useless" to determine the strength of "all" webpages.

Here's where you realized you got caught out talking crap and tried backtrack on your first statement about PR. Claiming now its not only PR, but other factors too.

And I don't care.

And yet you have a Blog network and SEO clients. hmmm?

Did someone forget to flush the toilet? because there's a serious smell of bullshit in here.

It is more efficient to create one authority site that covers all the services your client is rendering to his target audience rather than just buying domains and targeting those sites for each of your keyword.

It will be confusing for people when they see that you have several sites - but is only about one brand. This will just decrease the chances of getting them link to you. Don't only focus on rankings, aim for branding/authority for the site (do real marketing!).

For the other side, you can create a mini site (but one at a time)..look at how Affilorama created his mini site (Traffic Travis)..both the sites gain traffic and deserve to become authority in the niche since both sites provide value to the community.

Yeap, very much possible IF you build the right kinds of links.

I have been able to rank new sites in 2 months using only 6-7 links. Many of the times, they are outranking very established websites with minimum effort.

The key?

Really high quality inbound links.
