I had the crazy idea about buying a few high PR sites, installing wordpress and setting them up as an AUTOblog. What do you think of that? I know it can give me plenty of backlinks from each domain but will I get google slapped for doing that?
With the techniques you just described, you may not get too much Google love, but your rankings in MSN and Yahoo will increase substantially.
I wouldn't bother about the high PR purchases - they leave you too exposed to 'enemy action' (which is what would be most likely to get the domain downgraded by Google, despite what some people on this board think). Better to build a bunch of free (and thus disposable) autoblogs and let them spend some time building themselves up. That way you are free to spend the money you save on other tools, or promotional methods. Bloggerhigh has the definitive autoblogging ebook (free)
THANKS. so far this week since launching one i am now getting 300+ hits from SE's each day with no promotion. up from 50 last week. not huge numbers but a good start
