>They will be used as integral parts of my main website.
Can you clarify how the keyword domains will be integral parts of your main web site? Will they be independent sites, or will they point to the main site or its directories>
If they'll be separate, will they be interlinked with each other?
You're talking about smidgens here. I think INK prolly gives the most weight to urls.
The only real reason to have keyword laden urls is to insure a proper title at Yahoo.
As far as geographics...it certainly wont hurt to spread things out using different hosts. Just make sure you have different domain records to make it all look unrelated. This is more to thwart the worlwide spam police consortium than to gain any advantage in ranking.
That is a different issue, it concerns site structure and navigation. But you're getting into a different realm when you're using several domain names pointing to the same site.
>Would this be considered a bad thing because of the interlinking? I thought Google liked to see webs that are very intertwined?
thunderpaste, now you're getting into something that you'll have to dig in and read posts back through the Google forum for. It's turning into a Google issue.
When you say "very intertwined" you have to watch for closed linking circles and cross-linking issues, which is a touchy issue with Google. And using several domain names complicates the situation a little bit.
I assume if you're talking about small theme sites within your main site, you'll be having the keyword-laden domain names pointing to sections of that same main site without having content of their own.
Question: Do you expect to get rankings for those content pages under the URL of the main site, or the keyworded domain names, or both?
