My question is just, where do you put them? Do you register a different .com just to promote them, or put up a subdomain on an existing site?
Shadow Domains [webmasterworld.com]
Is this idea of shadowing pushing the limit of what search engines will allow or is it just a really good technique that few want to share with others?
Bottom line will it have repercussions if a person decides to take this approach. I try to do everything on the up and up and don't want to burn a client.
It is pushing the limit. Its also a technique that if done properly has its benefits. The problem is, at what point do you decide to use the strategy. I personally would not do it, and that is my own personal opinion. If a client came to me and asked me to set up a shadow domain, I'd have to pass. I've never done one, and never had to. I've turned away a few projects where the clients did not want to incorporate my suggested changes. That's fine, there are many others who will deal with it, I won't.
I'm sure someone will come along and reply to this thread and give you the answer you are looking for. It might be a little while because I think there are very few known members who are going to tell you that it is a viable solution in a public setting. In the general sense of this discussion, you're asking for trouble if you really don't know what you are doing.
I stay away from these quick fix all solutions. they work for a short time and then they usually get banned and then the client is out the door and rather upset.
thanks for your response
