Hi DP ers, Just today I'm beginning to realize the potential for an idea that I've had an idea kicking around in my head for quite some time now. My EZine Co-Editor and I have already talked about getting some of our contributors to start a blog that we could feature on our site. Why? People like to read blogs, and some people really like to keep them. It would be a great way to keep fresh content on the site at all times - content that we won't have to write! But Just today, while surfing through Hot Scripts, I found a program called host-press which will allow me to host wordpress blogs. It has a demo and I went through it, it's very easy. A user signs up for a name and within seconds a blog is created for them at a subdomain like this: rose.blogwhatever.com (I just made up that domain, forgive me for being silly! ) At 99.99 euro, this sounds like a bargain. Imagine, I can set up a satellite domain and allow any one in the world to sign up for their own free blog. In exchange, I can run my google ads (just one small block, don't worry) and my sponsor's banners or text links on potentially hundreds of new pages per day. As for getting this content on my EZine, I can think of multiple ways to make it happen: 1. Use RSS feeds like Shawn has implemented here at DP to put people's latest entry under their user name in the forums. 2. Use RSS to pull out the latest entries and make a spot for them on my front page/table of contents 3. Use RSS (do you see the pattern? It's RSS!!) to make a summary page with the content of most recent posts - revolving content, the spiders will love it. I'm thinking of hosting this site on a different host with a different IP address to have the benefits of lots of links from my users' blogs getting back to the EZine. This will benefit my sponsors as well. Is that ethically borderline, SEO-wise, or just a smart thing to do? Can anyone help me think of potential downfalls to this idea? Yes, having to support users is very inconvenient...there's a big one. Also it's a risk to run adsense on pages that I dont have direct control over. However, knowing my users, there will not be be illegal content, but who knows what kind of fraudlent click action could occur. Let me emphasize, I want a great user experience, I wont put my ads all over these things - however, I do need to justify the cost and time spend configuring it... Anybody tried something similar?
