I am still puzzled by this so wanted to give a clearer explanation to see if anyone can help:
I am going to launch 4 static geo-specific directories on the specific topic “farmingadvisor” (US, UK, Canada, Australia). The directories will list experts that can advise on farming issues in each country.
It is important that each site has its own domain with a ccTLD because each may be sold separately, and because advisor is spelt differently in the UK and US.
To promote each of these directories I am going to have a blog on each site. Each of these 4 blogs will have identical posts for 75% of the content which will be general farming news, and country-specific farming posts for 25% of the content. Over time this split should evolve to 50:50.
I am trying to wrap my head around the best way to execute this, and perhaps my current parameters need changing.
- Will each blog’s promotional power be severely inhibited by the fact that 75% of its content is repeated on three other domains?
- Is there an easy way to upload the content to all of the blogs at the same time even though they are on different domains?
- If the blog had 100% the same information for each site would that be better, there could be “1. DIRECTORY 2. SHARED BLOG 3. COUNTRY SPECIFIC BLOG” or is that crazy to have two blogs on one domain?
- So maybe it could be One Blog with links to four directories and each directory has a NEWS page rather than a blog?
I am really puzzled by the technical issues, and how to make it work for SEO, and would welcome comments and insights of any nature. I am going to invest some cash into this so I don’t want to make fundamental structural errors.
