Buying them is just the translation of the lack of relevance of contents

Hi David / posted my enquiry under Natural Link Building Top 20 Tips / It would be most helpful to me to note your comments on this subject
Do generic domain keywords have an advantage in search engines ranking when the content is relevant / unique.
I ask this question as it was my rational in 1999 to register groups of generic domains in clusters rather than one off registrations, These registrations are dormant whilst I waited for broadband to become available throughout Europe and for the European online markets to evolveIt seem to me that the generic domains as a group would be more powerful when each can offer unique content with the ability to support each others SEO, with the ultimate purpose to support a new brand name without high long term marketing costs
The domains are TLD’s in a European language .com’s equivalent to the English terms insurance, motorcycleinsurance, carinsurance, houseinsurance, lifeinsurance, carsales, carprice, carmagazine…………………………………all initially registered to enter the online insurance marketsI know that the direct link to the generic url is only a small part of the SEO but is it still an advantage to have the generic keyword registration apart from possible type in traffic?
If it is your view that it is just a bunch of domains then so be it, I will then know that the direct link in linguistic search or the coming spoken search terms have moved on22nd April 2008 @ 10:23

ukpimp, what does noarchive have to do with anything? It is not the same as noindex or nofollow, it just means there isn’t a cache saved and served in the search results.
They are most certainly indexed, though at the moment their home page shows up as the https version, not sure if that was by anyones design or a symptom

I find it interesting that the bbc is advertising there instead of ASDA. I find it strage that the BBC is using taxpayers money to rank well for mortgage calculator. Even though the links are now ” nofollowed”.

I think once your site reaches a certain level, google apply different seo rules, as people are actually searching for what you have, and google has to give it to them
