Hello Everyone, I just made my first minisite, www.starter2007.com, based on Windows Vista information from Wikipedia. I have a few questions... I also have the following domains (other versions of windows vista): vistabusiness.info vistaenterprise.info vistahomebasic.info vistahomepremium.info vistaultimate.info I was thinking about putting up the same site, but changing the first page for each site with the version information. Will this hurt my SE rankings (duplicate content)? I have done lots of SEO, in the hope that I will get SE traffic. What are some SEO tips for minisites? Should I buy directory submissions or text links to help with link pop? Will I ever be able to get decent SE rankings? What is the cheapest way to get traffic? Are my ads placed well? What else should I do with it to get some revenue? Thanks!
When I create mini-sites, I just rely on my own inner network of sites, and link them together. This gets them into the search engines pretty fast since a lot of my network sites are PR3-4-5. Try that, might be faster. Question: Why would you create so many sites, and host the same content? Why not make many mini-sites, but with different contents? Don't you think that would spread out your earnings than if you just had one site on many domain names?
The ads are well placed, but may I suggest that you have too many external links? I don't know what you want to use your minisite for, but perhaps you should reduce the number of external links, or make them open in a new window. Maybe you need them for SEO, to have relevant links, I don't know. Why not make pages that rewrite what those links are saying and link to them instead?
Thanks for the suggestion! As far as the links, I used rel="nofollow", but I am going to make them open in a new window, as you suggested. The main reason I made the minisite is to get some decent PPC revenue. I just bought some directory submissions to help out my link pop. Do you guys think I will be able to get decent SE traffic?
To notice that this forum is about google adsense? And that this site does NOT have google adsense? But rather yahoo ads???? Geesh.......
Yes I didn't notice "Do you guys think I will be able to get decent SE traffic?" This I don't know, if you have other sites you can put them to use by linking to your minisites, then yes. otherwise, the best would be to buy low price traffic from PPC programs
I bought 250 directory submissions and Im gonna buy some links to get traffic, does it matter if I buy links on related sites or not to help SE rankings? Thanks!
