Hi guys, I'm wondering if i can grab your thoughts on my new network. Iv started: RIO Multimedia which is just a small side project from Greenlush web hosting as now Greenlush employs a few staff i can concentrate on building up a little side project. I have built up a network of websites which currently consists of 17 sites, hopefully planning on 30-40. My plans are to develop them all, use unique templates and fresh new styles (Like on Greenlush which is only 30% complete) So, this network is not even 10% complete yet. The sites in it currently range from PR0 to pr5. Here is a list. 6 - pr0, 1 - pr1, 2 - pr2, 7 - pr3, 6 - pr4, 2 - pr5 They all have really simple templates at the moment and are no way complete. I have plans to offer really cheap advertising across all the sites once they are all built to full potential. I'm coding a script which will work with the Word press blogs in the network, so that peaple can purchase an article and submit the HTML, then i get an email to accept it, this will make buying blog posts very simple for webmasters. Also the directory's, i only plan on having a maximum of 5. It seems like every one has directory's these days, so what I'll do is just SEO all 5 rapidly and exchange links with other webmasters of directory's, so that all the inner pages are of a page rank of at least 3 to page rank 5. Currently details of the network can be viewed here I'll be working on the company mostly in a few months time, but its a case of developing and SEO'ing 40 sites all at once so that there complete by June/July time this year. All the sites as i said will be unique currently there using free templates just to hold the network together, all the sites will have custom features and lots and lots of AJAX As I'm currently addicted to using it. Not all the sites are working, there all just simple sites currently. Me and my development team will start on them soon. Just wondering what you guys thought of a project like this, and the ideas i have for it currently. Thanks in advance, JasonB
I can see you are heavily promoting your sites.. Best of luck. Hope you will come out with a great network of quality sites and directories.
Thanks meethere, hopefully you can help me by providing me blog posts and text links on your quality sites. I'll send you a pm with my posts that i ordered last week, just been way too busy recently building many sites up and promoting rapidly.
I like the simplicity of the site! Especially the header area, looks very elite For the network page, I think the right side looks a bit empty, what I would do is move some of the thumbnails to the right side of the site (so create 3 columns instead of one)
Thanks buddy, i have alot of editing to be doing on that site, it was only a quick one. I need to create a new logo for it also a contact form on the contact page. I understand what you mean about the network page, i'll certainly do that, its just abit of easy CSS customizing. Its the advertising page im working on currently, im making it so that peaple can just purchase advertising across the network easy using a PHP and AJAX. Thanks for the suggestions.
Well, it's great that you have managed to free up some time to think strategically. Hard work does pay off.
