Re: Educated Guess
This is terrible... My writing at 4am isn't great, I know, but guys, to actually go against this concept after it has proven itself so many times, c'mon.
Rick Anderson is using 'Geographical Optimization'. Smart Move! This method works on so many levels:
1. Creates controllable competition
2. Provides higher rankings for localized searches.
3. Creates relevant link backs
4. Allows you to further target a niche audience.
5. Allows you to test market a new theme without affecting your corporate brand
6. Owning domains is like owning real estate.
He's not going to give up on his flagship website, but how much higher can he go! The website is already number one.
He can secure his positioning on localized searches, which the search engines are moving towards anyways.
With microsite localization, he can appear more times per keyword, thus increasing his exposure and chances of receiving a visit.
"What a logistical nightmare it is to management unique content on 95 websites comparable to one"
Honeslty, it is not that difficult to manage multiple websites.
"Your doing things for the SE's and not the end visitors. Not a good idea."
You are providing visitors with more channels to contact you. You could call this convenience. =-)
"1. Its will occur unnecessary costs for renewal/hosting. 2. Each will get sandboxed."
1. It's like buying real estate, if there is demand for the domain, the value will go up.
2. Every new website gets sandboxed… Wait it out and let your site grow.
