Sub domain page or brand new domain

[singingtelegramsuk]

I run a business that provides entertainment services for parties, inc weddings and business functions, but I wanted to take advantage of the visitors that I have and work with other businesses to offer other services for parties, I started with a caterer, and created a catering page on my website. Thinking that my domain authority of 28, which is better than some of the local catering businesses, would be an advantage.

I'm just getting going on that so I am only on page 2 in the new niche, 2 days since I launched, but I am creating quality off page content, and watching the results, but I just thought that I would ask the question:

Which is better a page on the website of the same wider niche, eg party suppliers, with some DA already built up

Or a brand new domain for each partner that I work with, having to build up DA and PA as I go. And having to create on page content for the new niche

Or even one new website for party services with new content for each services, starting at no DA or PA

One issue seems to be that when I add my sitemap, google does not seem to be indexing the page (and about 20 others, even though I now have a clean robots.txt file) according to webmaster tools, and yet it shows up on page 2 of Google for the keyword.

Answers appreciated

If all your services are for parties, I would go with subfolders.

For example: yourwebsite.com/catering

This also passes some juice.

Thanks that is exactly what I have at the moment,

I was wondering what effect that Google are not indexing my new page (and some new pages directly connected to the main niche) might be having on the new page.

As I said the robots.txt file is clean, and I uploaded a new site map.

I'm guessing that I just have to wait, as the social media and web directories will alert Google to my page any way, so I just have to wait, it has only been 2 days

thanks again

Hi Richard,

Google can take its time reindexing sites. That's great that you've submitted a sitemap. Another thing you could do is submit your new URLs directly through Google Webmaster Tools by going to:

**Crawl > Fetch as Google **

then submit your URL and select the "Submit to Index" button. You can then choose to submit just the URL for crawling or the URL and all its direct links.

You can submit 500 individual URLs/month for crawling and 10 URLs/month w/their direct links.

GWT says:

"Recrawling happens a few minutes after you click Go. At that time, the content of your page is what Google will index. The page will be considered for indexing provided it meets our quality guidelines and avoids the use of noindex directives."

I think its clear that the best option is a subpage.
