I am currently working on evaluating a site for a prospect. I am trying to explain to them that having 5 unique web sites may not be the way to go in achieving the most optimum SEO results. Their main site is at mpartworks.com and off of that the product links redirect to the other supporting product web sites. But when a potential customer clicks on an actual product/sku it redirects back to a shopping cart sub-domain. DMOZ also has only one catagory for their product and not multiple cats for each product.
Now from my experience and all that I read there are many downfalls to this. i wanted to make sure that I am correct before talking with them again.
1) Their main site is catagorized in dmoz but the other sub sites are not - this could hurt in ranking reliavance with the SE.
2) By spliting the sites the way they have in some ways the site could be considered mirrored because they all point back to the main shopping cart - plus the fact that the base content is identical on each.
3) By spliting the sites up the content is being spread out over several sites therefor reducing the overall reliavancy in whole.
These are some upfront thoughts - I just wanted to see if I am off basis. Also, any additional feedback would be great.
Thanks,
HT

Even if DMOZ had multiple categories for the topic you would still not be allowed to submit the sites to them. The ODP says that for related sites you must pick just one entry point and submit that one to the one best category.
If all of your pages and mini-sites are linked together then editors can easily find the other content and deeplink to it at their discetion.
As for multiple domains, it is always easier to build one large site than try to cater for several.

I agree - odp and it is easier to manage one domain. My biggest to do is - if in fact it remains seperate will we see overall less effectiveness in SEO or 6 and 1/2 does another?
