WHAT PROBLEMS ARISE WITH ADWORDS AND SEO WHEN 2 OR MORE DOMAINS ARE VERY SIMILAR. SEE EXAMPLE IN DETAILS?
Question by quzetti:
What problems arise with adwords and SEO when 2 or more domains are very similar. See example in details?
www.usedcars.com or www.usedcars-chevy.com or www.usedcars-chevrolet.com
Can these different domains have their own adwords campaigns, and be SEOed without any problems. Do programs like Yahoo adwords and Google adword have a problem with them.
thanks
Doug

Generally it’s fine. Do you own the two domains? If you do just set a permanent redirect from one to the other so you get the SEO in one domain only.
The second part of this article tells you how and why:

I used to know a guy that pulled a lot of traffic by buying domains very similar to high traffic domains and using SEO and PPC. in your example he would by a domain like: usedcars-chevys.com and pull traffic from usedcars-chevy…
Hey, whatever works for you!

There will not be any problem simply because chevy and chevrolet are two different keywords.

yes ofcourse. To a human they may appear similar but for machines they are actually considered totally different. Even their URL may be similar , the content is what will vary and will be compared. In terms of SEO & adwords the the sites only with relevant and related “content” will be displayed. The more the ad showing site is related to you, greater chances you have of having your site displayed . I think the domain name is considered as part of the content when comparing.
You meant if both the domains are on Adword campaign , which will be preferred more to be shown first right?
