Small site experiment

On my search about if search engines like small site or big sites I found no satisfying answer. So I set up a little experiment on my own. I drive a lawyer directory with like about 20.000 pages for two years now. For search terms like “Rechtsanwalt Berlin” - I am aiming for city specific searches - I rank very well on the first SERP.

Now I set up special pages for the most biggest cities in Germany, having urls like rechtsanwalt–berlin (double dash - cause single was already taken for sure) and put three pages there. So it’s a real small site with a very specific topic.

Today - with this entry - I make it public and give em some PR power. In four weeks we’ll see how they do.

Rechtsanwalt Berlin
This is Germanys most biggest city. My current anwalt-seiten ranking on Google is 10. Now I started the special site Rechtsanwalt Berlin - let’s see what happens in like two weeks.

Rechtsanwalt Hamburg
This is Germanys second biggest city close to the North Sea. My current ranking on Google is 9. I set up the special site Rechtsanwalt Hamburg lately - let’s see what happens.

Rechtsanwalt München
This is Germanys third biggest city and I always have troubles with the “ü”. You probably now it from the Oktoberfest!
My current ranking on Google is 18. I launched Rechtsanwalt München view days ago - be patient…

I’ll keep you informed here.
