Thread: SEO SUICIDE – static „landing website“ to re-direct to main ones?

Can one have a “landing website” that only has re-direct links on it to one’s content-rich websites without blowing out SEO, and, if possible, HOW? My understanding is that SEO/Google will “punish” a website for having almost no content, never being changed.

To our surprise we have found out that the conservative B2B businesses have folk interested in the entirely different “fun, silly” B2C businesses and vice-versa. The STRATEGIC question of “WHAT TO DO” is clear – let both sides know the other side exists, but NOT in detail on the same website (too much of a conflict, too much navigation).

The TACTICAL question is HOW to do it. Can you somehow make clear to the SEO algorithms that the static landing website for re-directing is an integral part of the other dynamic content-rich websites by using the proper domain/sub-domain linking? Or by doing something else entirely?

EXAMPLE: let us use just two hypothetical businesses “Blue Oceans” and “Blue Angels.” We do NOT want to optimize SEO for “blue.” Instead we want all “blue ocean waves, Hawaii” searches to land on the static re-direct website, and all “blue angel wings, Paris” searches to land on the same static re-direct website.

I have seen a couple of such "landing websites" (unfortunately, did not note the names). In one case on a separate website all to itself were just two links, one for B2B and one for B2C customers. The links brought you to two entirely different websites, not just in terms of content, but also for the design, layout and navigation. In the other case the "landing website" linked you to the (differently designed) websites for businesses on different continents in different languages. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there,
I would really like to answer your question but I dont think I'm following your problem-- you want to have one static website called Static.com redirecting to Content.com which is content rich?

Seems google doesn't like seeing one URL, which then gets redirected to another, if it's another site, Within site 301 redirect is fine, but this type of redirection I have had client who got penalized for custom built pages for each of the keywords and redirect to a main site. This is indeed SEO suicide.

If the keywords for which those pages are optimized are not directly addressed on the main site Google would consider them to be doorway pages. They have, however, stated that multiple keyword domains can point to the same site through a 301 redirect without problem as long as the main site addresses those queries.

Best landing page is your website which makes money.

My friend who is SEo specialist shows only one example, which explains how to get traffic to your website.

Type in the google words "click here" and in the first place you get Adobe reader website, what never ever had any title, text or description includes words "click here". adobe reader website is on first place, because all internet full of baclinks with anchor "Click here" to download adobe reader

Think about it, build your backlinks strategy and you forgot rest of SEO tips and triks

Best Luck
