Exact match domain case study

Does it work after Panda and Penguin updates?

Ahhh, Google is always doing updates and changing the way they spider and index websites. I have been reading a lot regarding that Google doesn’t index websites higher because of an exact match domain name for the keywords you are targeting in your website content. I set off to see if this is a fluke or if it is true. So, what I did was buy a brand spanking new domain name with an exact match for the keywords I wanted to target within the content of my website.  After brainstorming for a while, i came up with the idea of getting a domain name that revolves around Las Vegas.  I know there is a stupid amount of competition but I wanted to go straight for the glory. I opened up the Google Adwords tool and starting playing around with some ideas. The keyword phrase that caught my attention was Back to Vegas. The phrase has 75,000 searches per month according to Google. I only wanted to buy the domain name if I was able to get a .com or a .net. Sure enough the .com was taken but .net was available.  I purchased http://backtovegas.net and immediately installed WordPress onto it. I didn’t want to do anything fancy as I wanted to concentrate on the exact match domain name and not have any SEO help at all… Including an SEO optimized theme. I pretty much stuck with the default. I then changed the default “hello world” post to say

_______________________________________________________________________________

Vacation deals to vegas

Back To Vegas is an online discount median to book your Las Vegas vacation. From hotels, to nightlife to parties to shows. Back to Vegas specializes in Las Vegas vacations ONLY!”

_______________________________________________________________________________

That is the only content I put on the site. I did not write a single blog post or page. I did absolutely nothing as SEO. The blog is completely empty which means that the only thing indexed in Google is the “Domain name” and the “Blog Title”. There is absolutely zero content to index.

I purchased the domain name on Feb 1st and installed WordPress and that was it. I then had to go to work and did nothing with the site until Feb 3rd. For shits and giggles, I went to Google on Feb 3rd and typed in the key phrase back to vegas and to my astonishment, my content-less website was on the first page of Google in the 7th spot! I then fooled around with some other key words and phrases and found that many would trigger a 1st page ranking in Google. My favorite one was vacation back to vegas as THAT brought up my website in 2 slots, #5 and 6 on the first page of the big G. This was all done with absolutely ZERO back links and no website content what so ever!!

Does exact match domains get indexed better?

You betcha!! If the above paragraphs don’t completely flatten the myth that Google’s Panda and Penguin updates do not recognize exact match domains as a tool for SEO? Then you are living in 2045. As a verdict, any time you are starting a new website ALWAYS get a keyword rich exact match domain name for what your content will be. It will help your indexing 100 fold. SEO begins with the domain name, all of the onpage tweaks and backlinks are just the icing on the cake.

Cheers!

Syndication Rockstar Plugin Review

January 23rd, 2013 admin

Looking for viral traffic? Syndication Rockstar Plugin

Launching January 31st (early bird list signup)

Do you have a WordPress site that you use for business purposes? Do you have a WordPress site that you just want more traffic to? Look no further that Syndication Rockstar. This plugin is exclusively for WordPress blogs/sites that will deliver high quality traffic from social media sites and deliver back links pointing top YOUR site instantly.

So How does Syndication Rockstar Plugin work?

Lets take a peak. After you install and activate the plug in, imagine creating a post and then be able to send that post out to a large amount of social bookmarking websites. Not only does that content get sent out, but it will include an anchor text hyper link directed back to your original website post. Here is the best part. Syndication Rockstar will spin your content with grammatical excellence and send a UNIQUE copy of your original post to each of the social media platforms…. All giving credit to your ORIGINAL post. Now, if I may, let me add 1 more import feature of this plug in. The syndication will automatically badge your original post as the main work and tag all of the rewritten/spun articles as a syndicated copy. In other words, it will let Google and other search engines know that the content on your “main site” is original content that YOU wrote and created and it will let Google and the search engines know that the copies sent out (which will be spun for original content) are promotions for your content. Yes, I thought so…very cool indeed. It is almost like you creating a website and then many social media sites and networks promoting your website for you, and writing content for you, and giving you free high PR backlinks all on autopilot. Just creating a few posts can give you dozens of articles pointing back to your domain with dozens of 1 way anchor texts to your site.

 So Is Syndication Rockstar affected by Panda and Penguin?

Nope, just the opposite!  The plugin is designed to give you unique content spread across many different social media platforms. Not only will it bring YOUR WordPress website up the rankings in the search engines to get traffic, you will ALSO get traffic from the millions of people who visit these social media sites and networks every day.

The Rise of New Social Networking Sites

The Rise of New Social Networking Sites

How you can cash in on Social Media Traffic Sites

Author: Barrfhionn Coeus

The history of social networking is one born before the era of mobile Internet. Facebook, Myspace, and Linkedin all boomed before the widespread app market as desktop-centric platforms. The era of smartphones and wireless internet access has opened the doors for a plethora of new social networking sites and apps that take advantage of many smartphone features, leaving many social networking giants in the dust.

Anyone who has used Facebook’s app over the past couple of years knows it’s spotty at best; this is because Facebook had to play catchup and adapt it’s service to the mobile platform. New social networks like Path, Highlight, Ban.jo, and Roamz all did the opposite and got started as mobile apps. In fact, all of them (except path) are mobile-only social networks!

They are a class of new social networking site called social-local-mobile networks, or SoLoMo for short. As such, their features and services are based on the geolocation feature, and your proximity to other users of the network.

For instance, Highlight is a SoLoMo network that simply runs in the background on your phone or device, and keeps tabs on other local users with highlight on their phones. It alerts you when friends are nearby, and is a great way to share contact info with someone you just met on the street or in a cafe. At this point in time, highlight is only available in the iOS app store.

Similarly, Ban.jo is a new social networking site founded with the notion that we miss an absurd amount of connection with people all around us on a daily basis. Ban.jo uses geolocation to find nearby contacts and possible connections much in the same way highlight does.

These are just a few examples of the new type of social media available to the user. Sites like this pop-up all over the Internet. In fact, many experts predict that latest social networks similar to the ones mentioned above will capture more and more of the Internet traffic in the following years.

New social apps like these are interesting to think about because of the social possibility, but they also raise some important questions about privacy. Because they inherently broadcast your data to other local users, there are obvious cyberstalking and privacy concerns. In short: new mobile social networking sites are great, but be aware of what data you are publicly sharing with the world! Sharing can be a lot of fun, but only when you remember about your privacy and safety.
