I swear a post like this happens every 6 months Someone insists that [this money making method] is dead. All i know is that whatever died last year, im still making good money with them. If you're going to make god awful websites, "auto-blogs", or are just plain lazy then yes, this might be the case, and thats the way it should be. Put some work into it, reap the rewards..... simples.
The writings on the wall. However, if your domain name is the keyword for the search then looks like you still have a chance.
You can't just puke these sites out and hope to rank. Building quality backlinks to them will keep them in the SERPs
google is always trying to clean up results from MFA sites, so I don't see why would now be any different from yesterday. people will always try to come up with new ways to earn more money with less work, google will try to outsmart them and that is never ending battle also, "micro niche sites" can't be dead because many legitimate businesses are based around micro niches, so title is pretty misleading. MFA is NOT the same as micro niche.
My site is gone from first page for a while. After 2 days it come back and better position. My website is normal html and unique content. I think if you have give the good quality content to reader google will never ban you.
err... I think this threat has always been there just so MNS authors will have just to improve on their content. G still earns and MNS authors are actually helping G users to easily find their searches...
Good quality micro-niches will be around for a very long time. They are a part of the internet landscape and cater for the needs of certain types of visitors. If Google get rid of micro-niches they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.
