Hi there guys,
We have opened a new site www.digitaldeejay.com which after a lot of development is finally live and online, the problem is that we have no SE traffic what so ever for the present moment.

I will tell you briefly what we have in place and I would appreciate if you could help me find the best ways to maximize traffic using what we have...

digitaldeejay.com - Is the main site (Not SEO whatsoever). It has a PR of 3/10 acording to the google bar.
clubdjforum.com - We bought this site and it has the number one position on Google for the term "Dj forum", it points to digitaldeejay.com

We have also registered other domains with related keywords in the domain name which are currently in parking. Those include:

Code:
digital-dancefloor.com
digital-beatmatch.com
online-dancefloor.com
mp3-deejay.com
online-dj
We are looking to get the top positions for 'music downloads', 'buy music', 'music downloads', 'download mp3s', 'dj' and other related keywords.

I know very well that this is a tough challenge as there are thousands of other competitors however I am determined in succeeding and would like your help in starting in the right way...

My initial idea was to visit as many music related sites as I could and get them to link to digitaldeejay.com, we would then exchange the service and link back to their site. From what i have been reading throughout this forum however I seem to understand that having a link back to us from a site with a PR below 4 is not good??
From my logic I would therefore need to contact websites that have a PR above 4 and get a link on their site which has relevant keywords in the link.

On top of that I had the idea to use all our other domains as gateway pages to digitaldeejay.com. Those domains would all have internal links to all the music related domains we own.

From what I can see in a post I have just read, Google can ban you if there are links to other domains which use the same IP, in which case this is not a very good idea.

I would also like to use the fact that clubdjforum.com has a very good positioning in Google and a good PR in order to increase PR of digitalDeejay.com but how? I would also like to maintain this position in the search engine however currently as this domain points to digitaldeejay.com which is not Search Engine Optimized I am scared that this will affect the rating of clubdjforum...

As you can see I am a bit confused as to where to start...

I would appreciate all your help concerning this problem which I am sure with your help I can find a successful solution.

"Dear Google - please cause me some problems"

You didn't mention:
http://www.e-frenchsound.com
--- this puts you in the running for a duplicate content penalty/filter.

Why do you want more than one domain? Of what benefit is it?

IMHO, focus on one domain, get links to that one domain --> don't make it complicated and don't invite problems.

As for the keywords you are focusing on, I would forget them and focus on some others - I am not too familiar with that industry, but would ave thought that those keywords are extremely competitive.

CBP,
Thanks for your quick and honest reply, I totally forgot to mention that domain name, e-frenchsound.com was another business that we ran but that was stopped and now points to our new online presence.

In my opinion other domains are important to have a greater web presence and can used in the future should we wish to expand. Ideally I thought that having serveral domains could be beneficial to promote our services however it seems that I was wrong.

Concerning the keywords, I do indeed agree with you that they are extremely competitive but our business rests on those and for this reason we would like to try and obtain good placements for those particular terms, i'm not saying its possible or impossible i'm just saying that's what ideally we would like to do.

As the end of the day I tell myself this, if our competitors done it then why can't we....

Thanks again for your reply cbp,

Sam

The problem with having a whole lot of domain names, is that to promote them to rank well in search engines will mean getting links to all of them --- as directories and most sites won't link to all of them for you, you then have to spread it around, so end up with a whole lot of average or mediocre ranking sites - you are better off focusing that effort and getting all the anchor text links to one domain (and deeper links into that site) and get that ranking really well.

Re keywords.. if you go to the overture tool and tpye in 'music downloads', you get these suggestions:
Quote:
1288863 music download
742387 free music download
18976 free mp3 music download
14669 music download site
10941 mp3 music download
10835 free music download site
10192 music video download
7459 download free legal music
6512 download free kazaa music
5964 sheet music download
5116 free music download program
4388 music program download
4009 download music kazaa
3893 download mart music wal
3863 free music video download
3815 free sheet music download
3802 music download web site
3120 music online free download
2771 christian music download
2635 music software download
2496 free music software download
2312 music match download
<CUT>
You may be better off targeting and ranking well on on some of these 3 or 4 word phrases.
