Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a competitor that has 30+ site with EMDs. He uses the domain name to target the specific town he wants to market in.  Let's say you buy Newyorkcityseo.com, you can then also use New York  City SEO in the title, description, & keywords. Also any links with anchor text will be branded New York City SEO. This still works really well for ranking high with Google, but it looks bad with to customers. Personally i would never go this route, but it does work. Like I said I have competitors that have been doing it for years, maybe one day they will fall.

Hmm how did e.g. normal local newspaper then survive - most news articles are some 200-300 words of orginal text + 1-2 images. The rest are ads and excerpt of other relevant news etc. As far as I understand the article you send then it is about “above-the-fold” i.e. the only think you see when you land on a page are ads as the main source. On my site I only use the sidebar - in similar manner as newspapers - and the rest is simply information on various travelling arrangement possible. That is what a niche site this is all about - collecing all of this into one place and solving the travelers problems of finding it in various places. This creates value for the end-user.

There must be some content build up. Im not just throwing in some blogposts of course - and im carefully monitoring and helping with re-writing etc - so it become a interesting blogpost. That is the idea. And blogpost is just a subpage as any other subpage, so instead of just having the site static (as most travel related sites are often) then we are at least writing a blog to a subpage with relevant inner linking - and then some external sites pointing to each subpage. I have at least used it on one of my sites and got it into a rank nr 1 on google for the niche at hand (with over 3000 visitors seaching per month for keyword) in some 15 days - so I dont see why this isnt working. It has kept in the 1-3 seat for 6 months now with almost no more work. So now it just want to use the same methodology on other sites as well and create some interesting blogposts that both get social attention, backlinks etc etc - I just dont know how to set this all up for it to work with sitemaps, ga etc
