Thumbs up Re: Lunching New Site on existing domain - What to be aware of??

Quote:
Do you know where your visitors are coming from? I am asking because if mainly australian based, you could get similar results with the australian domain, otherwise people might be put off.
Yes, I 80% of my visitors are Aussies. I do have cheapholidayaccommodation.com.au so this is another option as an alternate domain to launch the website on.

Quote:
Will the 200K+ pages all be business listings? Do they bring much to your site in terms of quality info for your visitors?
There is over 130,000 business listings and each which will have a google maps, add comments form and the ability to email the businesses on each page so the pages wont just be the business details for the sake of adding a page. They will act as a reference or guide for people wanting to get in contact with businesses in the tourism industry to further book or arrange activities for their holiday.

I would launch the new site on a new domain / the other domain. But I would do this only if the content is different enough to not penalise your old site
Yeah besides the accommodation listings which for the most part have to list the same facilities, features and description everything else will be unique content.

By having two site you get a bit more work to update both, but you also have a 'security' blanket if one falls over.
thats great - thanks everyone for all your advise. I will upload on a new domain with the new website.
