Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Do searches like: pages with titles containing "links" or "resources" and niche terms.

In my experience there are two kinds of public company news: either real-time "material information" (i.e. potentially market moving, monitored by regulators) or basically PR stuff that can be planned in advance. I'd deal with the two types differently. Wouldn't worry about widely disseminating the former in just about any manner, standard operating procedure, but would treat the latter differently as described above: establish on company website first, then press release, don't syndicate.

I'd want to step back a bit and strategize, set some objectives before proceeding. Determine what outcomes are expected, and while you're at it keep in mind how changes could improve user experience.

Maybe end up consolidating if it makes sense as a way to improve rankings, possibly retire some of them by moving the content over to the main site and 301 redirecting everything.

All depends on what we're specifically talking about of course, how well do all the domains rank now (including main), what content is housed where, how does it all inter-relate logically, how much traffic does each currently get, quality of that traffic in conversion terms, consider any trends: are any of them moving up or down lately, what inter-site referral volumes are happening, all that.

To the dup content point: absolutely do not simply copy from one place to another. Hire a writer if necessary to add value by at least offering a different point of view on the material if there is any similar content in more than one place.

I believe generally the motivation in these click-along-lists is to maximize page view counts and ad impression rates, to make top-line numbers look good at the expense of user experience.

I'd suspect if anything bounce or abandonment rates are made worse with these if no other way out is offered. Some will mercifully provide a "show all" link or in this case we have a nice side menu showing the whole list.

Maybe do some re-architecting along with the cleanup.

I didn't walk thru the cart process but the site navigation at least has the look of something that's been patched and altered over time, for example: Main menu My Account and Login point to the same page so that kind of thing should be sorted, the navigation paths should be mapped and made simpler if possible.

The site could do with some copy editing. Might want to tighten up how everything is organized, and plan overall what pages are supposed to be ranking for what terms, the information seems spread around too much, it all seems a little scattered and in places a little verbose.

Here: https://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/CLA.cat, we have a mis-used "About Us" page offering additional services descriptions instead of talking exclusively about the company.

Services overviews should be found only on their own focussed pages designed to rank for their terms.

About page should be about the company itself: who's in it, reason for being, history, function within the economy, corporate responsibility ideas, market(s) served. That kind of stuff.

My take just checking quickly.

Add a paragraph or two of fresh content, state what the item is in new terms, try differentiating more from Origenmusic.

From here: http://www.origenmusic.com/free-piano-music.html, origenmusic links to virtualsheetmusic; maybe Google is thinking the origenmusic page is the original and the virtualsheetmusic page just contains a subset of the same information without adding anything else for the user?

Thanks Marcus, the other one is nofollow as well. I'll leave 'em be but will ask the client if they're aware of any other SEO activity being done in the last couple years.

Cheers,

Peter

I have new a client with a couple dozen normal inbound links along with a 150 links between these two domains. What do you think, disavow time?

These links are not showing in OSE, but are listed by Webmaster Tools.

The cybo.com links are in sets, seems to language?, ten or so links each from

ar.cybo.com

el.cybo.com

en.cybo.com

es.cybo.com

fa.cybo.com

fr.cybo.com

etc

Never a bad idea to connect with others anyway, maybe consider an anchor text review at the same time.

A guess based on experience but I suspect it depends on the term, with domain working especially well for things like brands and personal names, and being less significant for generic terms.

In terms of design, I'd say the site looks pleasant but not immediately engaging/interesting/exciting, there's no strong call to do anything. The gray on gray logo text at upper left is weak. I'd think about adding a strong tagline, or something else that sells the product right away, maybe a funny/informative 'top ten reasons cheese is awesome' or 'five reasons you need to know more about cheese' or some such.
