Question about google and my hub
 

Hi,
I'm just starting out in the freesite/SE game and i'm building free sites to later be listed on a hub. My question is the following:

I own multiple domains...would I be better off having my free sites on one domain and my hub on another domain for the purposes of google? Keeping mind that they are both off the same IP and hosting account...just diff domain with diff directory. THanks

Seeing as you have them all on the same IP it might be better for the SE's to see all kinds of content on one domain as opposed to it being spread out across multiple ones.

But I am not an SEO :)

I like to put them at the root of my domains so that surfers snooping around find them. I have absolutely no idea how well that works SE wise.

Re: Question about google and my hub
 

If it was my own stuff...I'd put the hub on a different host. And still be careful about too much cross linking...depending on how many domains you have.

Also, it would be good to have different WHOIS info on the hub.

Don't stick out to Google. Having links all from the same IP point to each other may give you some initial pop, but it's overly contrived linking.

If you are in it for the long haul...lay low SEO wise.

ADDING: If you have as many links as GreenGuy to your Hub you can get away with tossing links to all your own domains from that hub.

My .02 worth. Good luck!

If you are building lots of free sites on one domain. Example:

www.mydomain.com/sites/site1
www.mydomain.com/sites/site2
www.mydomain.com/sites/site3

Making some kind of hub structure for www.mydomain.com is definently benificial and will keep all of you sites spidered.

If you only have a few domains on one IP and get into some heavy crosslinking - I would advise against that.
