I had a good telephone call from a client who knows his stuff when it comes to web search engine optimisation (SEO) and he has decided to set up another few smaller sites to see how he can create more traffic to his main website using these Gateway pages or sites.
He’s pissed off listening to myself and other professionals in the business yabbering on about how you must only use the correct structure in websites to get them a good page rank and higher in Google. He See’s is competitors using new domains that’s a jammed packed with keywords and search terms that go way over the general rules of keyword density etc.
Will it get anywhere, will it increase his traffic and send more business his way?
Have you done something like this before and if so what would you suggest he does. He has a budget to play with, oh and by the way he’s using about 6 social media websites, rss feeds, press release sites, link building and any other method of promoting his site to increase the traffic. He even mentioned doing flyer drops today !!!!!
I’m looking for feedback and suggest, have you done this and has it helped.
Let me know.

Hi Dave,
Sound like a familiar story. It could well be that the indexing by Google in Ireland is not as well vetted as some other counries or that the data centres over here work like our government, ie – not well. The fact that the SERPS being generated reflect well on black hat methods could well be based on an additional algorithm specific to Ireland. This addition ranking factor could be based on the fact the corrupt seem to do well here and so should websites that disregard traditional SEO and optimisation tactics.
Anyway, I’m off to do some keyword stuffing and sign up on a link farm…..
I have seen a few dodgy sites popping up in the google results. I know of a few clients who are spending thousands on ad words per month so I can understand why people are getting desperate.

Hi Ralph,
Very annoying and frustrating from all concerned as “we” are saying one thing and going with Google Webmasters rules and then others are just throwing it out there and getting good rankings, I know Google say in the long term they will not win, but in the short term they are doing well and getting the pole position.
Anything goes, rather than a proper well thought-out structured website and web marketing plan.
Grr
