Ha, right garethdavies -- I can't imagine why that moderator is recommending that a new website be built to mirror the strategy of a top web property.

Barty, I would follow maruschka's logic, and only try to optimize similar products on a small website. If the products are dramatically different, it is worthwhile to operate multiple niche sites to focus on each product category.

For example, a client of mine had a technology business where their primary focus was on providing network and desktop support for small businesses but they also did a good bit of business with home users who were looking for virus cleanups and home networking help. Since these applied to two different target markets, I recommended two separate websites.

But for a client of mine who had a wine store and an adjacent wine bar and restaurant, I recommended one site because the target market was the same demographic and the two businesses were closely related.

YMMV

The question isthis:

I'm just about to launch a new site. It should really be 3 site but the client talked me into making in one or the deal was off. It's for private sales of cars, property and boats. It also has a business directory for each section. The sections are in sud-directories rather than domains for easy maintenance.

I don't really have any spesific question other than is this a dumb setup?
Should I talk the client into separating this into 3 sites (It would be quite easy as I would clone it 3 times then delete 2 sections)?
Can it work as it is?
Will SEOing it be a nightmare?
Any suggestions?


And the answer by their moderator is...
