Hi, Let me try to explain, since my primary language isn't English. I've been reading a lot about a subject that usually have a difficult response. I've read about people creating 50, 100 small sites focused in a few words to get higher rank and make about $1 for each and say that these are not MFA. In some threads, people ask for a definition about MFA and responses are sites just to make money, sites designed to target keywords, etc, etc. Others say that their 100 sites are quality content, unique content ... and these are not MFA ... just sites created to make money Others built those Mini Sites and say ... these are not MFA. The only propose of these sites is making money. I know that this doesn't have THE response like 0 or 1, but I'm interested in understand the line between these worlds. Lets see these examples: 1 Blog with 5 articles written with unique content, each one optimized for some words, 3 ads very well blended a carefully placed. How do you define this site? Were is the line?
To me MFA is i site thrown up in a very short time with more adsense than actual content, where the ads come before the written content and probably wont get updated much.
Those who have hundred of sites with unique content don't update the sites. They just create/buy the articles a place the on the pages. Suppose I build a site with these 5 or 6 pages, each article/page as about 300 keywords, on each page I placed 3 ad units. The propose is make money. How Google sees this site.
I cant see how google would see it, maybe they are fine with it, i dont know, plenty MFA stays in place while other MFA gets bashed quickly.
hmmmmm......MFA man will not go long with his site as far as seo or marketing is concern......yes I agree there is very thin line......but many are there for this only...and why Johny will tell you that "I have not eaten sugar"
Small sites, 500 words/page, 5-10 pages, can rank high in serp's and i see alot of them: both with and whithout Adsense. And i dont think they are MFA's. Period. just small sites. But i agree with Pipes, MFA sites are ridiculous small webpages with adddssssssssssssss everywhere and 2 lines of content.
