      Hello..

      I am wondering if you guys think launching a site like this is a good or a bad idea.

      All of the links on it go directly to the exact corresponding page on the ecommerce site.

      Do you think Google will penalize my site for launching sites (i have many other domains that i will be setting up similar to this) like this?

      Thanks...

        Hi,

        It's definitely possible that Google will penalize your site for launching low quality exact match domains pointing towards your site, especially since they released Penguin. Penguin has lowered the boost you get from exact match domains and is penalizing sites that get too much traffic from domains that don't seem legitimate (like this one).

        I, personally, wouldn't go with this strategy. My guess is that Penguin is just the first step of many from Google to crack down on SEO maneuvers like this one.

          Would you please explain why you believe this site is low quality?  If you are searching for Clear stackable plastic bins isn't this the type of site you'd want to find?  a site that focuses on exactly what you searched for?

            There are too many sites out there for Google to define quality by how well the domain matches the search term, so Google also looks at the quality and number of external links a site is getting. (Yes, this is somewhat circular: you want to get links from sites that get a lot of links themselves.) Google refers to this sort of quality as PageRank.

            Since no external websites are linking to clearstackingbins.com, it looks like a low quality site to Google. Plus, it only has one page, and that page only has external links, which will make it pretty clear to Google that it's a page set up as a portal to plasticstorage.com, with no value of its own. Google will see that as a low quality site.
