      Hi

      I have a client, who focus is on Commercial property leasing in Johannesburg and surrounding area's.

      We find that people search for "area"& "property type"

      The client  bought 50 exact match domains for keywords that we currently run in Google Adwords

      for example:We advertise on keywords: "Midrand offices to let" and bought

      Midrandofficestolet.com, now the group wants to make small micro sites with unique article about commercial property in that area "Midrand" with a link to the main site where the "midrand properties" are listed .

      The feeder or micro sites will also have contact details of main site.

      the domains will all be hosted on the same server, registered to the same owner est.

      Is this typical link farming? or should we rather build the articles on the main website and park the domains on the area categories?

      The clients main-set is that he will same money on adwords by owning the EMD and from that link to his main site

      Your guidance will be much appriciated

        This pretty much defines link farming and spam. Drop the 50 EMDs and put all of your efforts on the main site.

        Normally I would look at both sides of the coin, but this is just blatant spam.
