Linking C Class Blocks Problem

[wojkwasi]

Hi

I've just discovered that my client, who has a medical practice, has created a series of micro sites about their doctors (around 10 or so).

The problem is that they're on a shared host with the same C-class, providing no real link benefit at all.

Would it be best to:

A) Look for seperate C class hosts for each site & migrate

B) Recreate the pages on the main site & 301 all doctor micro sites to new pages

C) Leave as is and pursue other link building activites?

Has anyone run into a similar issue before?

Thanks a bunch!

Woj

My preference is option B.

Google does not like microsites. They are basically a form of internet pollution. I am making the assumption the microsites are serving the primary function of funneling users to your main site.

You can try finding different C blocks, but you are practicing black hat SEO, and you are almost sure to fail. The microsites can be related to the main site in dozens of ways, and even if you take care of the C-block, you will likely miss several other factors.

Thanks Ryan - yeah that's what I was leaning towards.. I need to check all the inbound links too

I've already discovered a tonne of duplicate content slaps forehead

Hi Woj,

I agree with Ryan.
