Business Blogging RSS Marketing Articles

“The practices of domaining and subdomaining have steadily grown into increasingly hot topics in the local search marketing space for the past few years,” writes Chris Smith, lead GravityStream strategist for Netconcepts. In this engaging two-part article, Chris addresses the difference between domaining, or “domains mainly for their potential keyword value,” and subdomaining, which is the “practice of delivering sections of content on sites under third-level domain names.”

Whether you’re buying domains to rank well for keywords or are considering the purchase of a subdomain for your site, this article takes a closer look at the benefits (and drawbacks) of each and how these practices relate to search.

In Part One of this article, read about the practice of subdomaining here.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an art as well as a science. As with any scientific discipline, it requires rigor. The results need to be reproducible, and you have to take an experimental approach — so not too many variables are changed at once. Otherwise, you won’t be able to tell which changes were responsible for the results.

You can glean a lot about SEO best practices, latest trends and tactics from SEO blogs, forums and e-books. But it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, to know with any degree of certainty that a claim will hold true. That’s where the testing of your SEO comes in. Prove what works and what doesn’t.
