Hello guys, I read a lot of topics on building lots of niche websites and hope for a big monthly income. But there is one thing I wonder: most of the users who do this are buying a new domain name. I wonder if it is possible to achieve the same results without buying a new domain and use a Blogspot or Wordpress subdomain.
If your way is Micro niche site I recommend you use blogspot then buy a domain. With blogspot, very easy to get index and high PR
I'd suggest self-hosted WordPress if you're planning to make your blog profitable. Of course Blogger is enough for you to make money with AdSense but with the wide range of WordPress plugins, you'll love how it tweaks your blog. Also, a domain name for your blog will be an added bonus for branding purpose. Think about this, which URL is easier for you to remember between cosminc.com and cosminc.blogspot.com?
Your domain always easy remember for user That I said: I recommend you use blogspot and your domain name Very easy get index and high pr from google (I've just launched a new site with wordpress platform and now, I submited my site to directory, feed directory, comment on dofollow blog, submit to dofollow social bookmarking and exchange link but now, my site not indexed by Google, I dont know why ?) You see, with blogspot and your domain, your site easy get index
The biggest factors in building niche sites is: 1/ primary search phrase - search volume, competition, backlinking effort required, etc. 2/ SEO'd site 3/ keyword domain - i.e. if your primary phrase is "make money blogging" you want makemoneyblogging.com or make-money-blogging.com (or .net, .org) Lots of people do use self-hosted wordpress blogs to build niche sites - but it's more effort than required, as you could use a static site builder or php script to do the job as you don't want the hassle of daily blog posting for a small site
I'd recommend Wordpress and getting a good host, you can find good services for really good prices and can even get a free domain. (.com/.net)
You can get hosting and a domain for under $20 a year. Using WordPress with your own host allows you to have tons of flexibility without many restrictions. There are also so many more add ons that you can add. It also makes you look more professional with your own domain and if you every want to sell the site, you can without breaking any rules.
I think It's better to use self hosted Wordpress because It's indexed much faster in google than blogspot. It's strange that blogspot belongs to google but It do happen. IMHO
