    Hi,
    I would like to build many website with phpbay and wordpress and I wonder which strategy to follow:
    1- just build 10-30 pages of products + unique content
    2- build a huge shopping corner with 100+products pages (a website that focus on dogs, or cat or shoes... and which is an ecommerce site) and put a category for a blog where I can post unique content (100-300 words) everyday.
    3- Build a shopping website and submit articles to directories
    Need to know which way you follow and sample if you want, even it is not yours.
    Thanks

    I have 2 niche e-commerce sites. I have a main blog with niche articles and releases, that draw the traffic, and divert that traffic to the shopping sites, along with affiliate links, and banners of products for sale.

    I don't know how articles incorporated into the shopping site would work, unless they are product reviews. People don't go to shopping sites for articles, they go to shop.


    Example : Dance Music Magazine > linked to related shopping sites, The Club Life Shop, and Night Club Life.co.uk

    On another blog, I have an shops embedded into the blog. The Mansfield Herald

    This works for me, and it is a lot easier.
