1 Web Site Or 10?

I was emailing with a client yesterday who mentioned numerous domain names she was registering.

I asked her why she was registering all of these domains.

Turns out that a web tutor told her that "having multiple domain names all going to the same web-site was an easy cost effective way of getting high up on the search engines."

That's not correct.

If you register multiple domain names - unless that are very generic domains like cars.com (and that would cost you million$) - then to get a benefit in search engines you need to develop sites on each and every domain name.

Register 1 Domain And Stick With It

My advice is this: Register 1 domain name and focus all of your efforts and resources on that.

Developing 10 web sites to all do the same thing is a false economy and will waste your time, energy and money.

Ok Brendon, fair enough. But that's very confusing now. A couple of days ago you said "(develop a couple of websites per week) X (as many weeks as you can)". So what now?

Should have made that a bit clearer - in this case I'm talking about a person who is developing a business with 1 site.

She was told that registering multiple domains pointing to that one site help.

The only way multiple domains help her business is if she develops unique ocntent on them all - she's better of focusing her energy on the 1 site.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers
