How to own hundreds of money making websites without spending a fortune.

A lot of people hear the talk of owning hundreds of domains and running hundreds of sites and wonder how these people cover such enormous costs for domain names and hosting.

Here are a few ideas on cheaply affording and being able to host multiple domains.

1. Domains: Depending on the type of site you are making you should decide whether to use .com or .info domains. The difference? A .com domain will set you back $10 or so while you can pick up .info domains for $3 or so (at the time of writing as frequently occurs, my domain registrar has a .info domain sale for 99 cents.). As a general rule .com is always better than a .info domain but for domains that you plan to make automated and in large numbers it would be wise to size up the difference in the amount these domains will cost you and the amount you stand to make from them. For me it is more profitable based on the structure of my business to buy .coms but you should analyze the situation based on your own circumstances. In any case .infos are great to get started with if you are low on funds.

2. Hosting: When most people start making websites they just opt for the generic host that is being offered with your domain registrar. This usually means hosting one domain per host and purchasing a new host for each domain. This is likely where the misconception arises around the cost associated with owning multiple domains. Here are some examples of the normal type of multiple domain hosting options:

a. You can get a domain that has add on domains. These are the type of offers you see for hosting 10 domains for $10 a month etc. You have a primary domain then can add on domains to be hosted here also. Depending on how many sites you want this can work but the issue is that you only have a certain amount of space that has to be split over each domain you add. With a small number of domains this could work ok. This option is the cheapest but can be hard to work with when using more than say 10 domains.
b. You can get a Reseller hosting account. I use this type of account. This allows you to host usually unlimited (or else a very large number) domains and each domain gets allocated its own amount of webspace. For my account I can add as many domains as I like which are created as separate accounts with their own username and password. Each account gets 500MB of space and its own bandwidth allocations. Generally this type of account will cost you from $20 to $100 a month.
c. Dedicated server. This is the grand daddy of them all. You will need some skills in managing servers and it is the most expensive but if you are managing a lot (hundreds to thousands) of domains or getting enormous amounts of traffic this is the way to go. These will generally cost you over upwards of $200 per month.

So there you have it. If you have wondered how much it costs people to run thousands of domains now you know. Look into these options further if you are looking to cut down your costs and make running your online biz that little bit easier.

Promoting your website or blog with RSS feeds

Basically, any type of updated content such as from rss reeds or blog posts serve 2 purposes.

1. To provide the reader of a site with fresh, up to date information.
2. To provide "Spider food"… a reason for the search engine spiders to visit, take note of and index your site. (Especially valuable when used in conjunction with a pinger that updates certain databases every time new content is posted such as with a blog.)

In lamens terms an RSS feed is simply a piece of code that refers to the contents of a certain kind of web site. For example, every blog has an RSS feed which is a kind of log of the contents of that blog. An RSS feed usually come in the form of a web address that if you enter it into your browser you will see the contents of the blog or website in question.

VERY BORING, right? Here's where it gets exciting.

If you have a blog or website that has an RSS feed, you are open to a very special opportunity for getting your website spidered by the search engines and very quickly indexed and ranked.

Just like a search engine, there are directories for RSS feeds. This means sites that list (and link to) thousands of RSS feeds from the web. As you will know, if you get your own sites link (ie the RSS feed) on a site with a high ranking and high PR your site gets indexed faster and ultiamtely ranked better.., Can you see where we're going with this?

Either manually or with certain pieces of software, you can submit your site's feed to an RSS directory to get backlinks, simple as that! Depending on how many you submit to, this will result in the magnetic attraction of loads of search engine spiders who will have a ball crawling and indexing your site.

All you need to find is a list of directories and a quick way to submit to many directories easily and you will have opened the door to a great new way to increase search engine spider activity, get faster indexing, higher rankings and more traffic!

I have used this method to get sites of 1000's of pages indexed within a few days from mass loads of spider crawling.

All the best in taking advantage of this opportunity.

Maintaining Multiple Websites

People who operate multiple websites will know what I mean…

You make great money but it can be hard to keep your sites constantly updated.

It gets hard to grow your business because you have to spend more time on maintenance and are left with less time to research for new projects.

I mean, there is no doubt that to maintain a great website that people are wanting to visit continually, fresh, exciting, newly updated content is needed. Not only that but if you are planning on getting continual search engine spider activity to ensure your sites gets in and stays in the SE rankings, you are going to keep your content RIPE!

The question is how? With many sites, all requiring new content, it becomes very difficult to keep them all running…. But not necessarily.

The smarter among us have found a way to create, maintain and update multiple websites without all the effort.

Firstly for my content sites I tend to prefer blogs for a few reasons.

1. When you do update them it is far easier to do so.
2. More search engine spider activity from pinging.
3. The magic of automatic blog posting scripts!

Automatic blog posting scripts are pieces of software that you can upload to a domain, set a bunch of parameters and have relevant content continually posted to these domains on a schedule that you set!

Does that make sense? It's like there is a ghost who searches out content that readers of your site would be interested in and posts it to your blog for you!

Scripts like this are particularly great for Adsense publishers and affiliate marketers. Think about it… If it were that easy to setup affiliate sites or adsense sites with great content, that people would be drawn to and that would be sure to make you money? How many would you make? After all you don't have to maintain them anymore! Nothing is holding you back.

It's a very exciting concept, and one that smart web publishers and marketers are taking advantage of on a massive scale. Afterall one of the keys to business success is leverage or automation. The more of your work you can have done by something or someone other than you, the more power you ultimately have and the more potential for pure profit in your business!

Testing and Tracking, The Adsense Marketers Most Powerful Tool.

Adsense publishing is a complicated game with many factors contributing to your level of success.

As with any business model, it is necessary in the Adsense game to have in place measures to test and track the methods your using and the results they are yielding.

Here is a simple example:

I put up 10 sites on keyword topics that I have researched. Over time I track the results of these pages in many ways. I learn what pages of my site are getting clicks and what keywords these pages are optimized for. I learn through which search engines or methods people are finding my pages. I learn which ads on my site are getting clicked, both where they are positioned and what was the contents of the ad.

So what you might say? As long as people are clicking right? WRONG!

Look what I can do with this data.

1. When I know which keywords on which pages are getting clicks I know which keyword topics are getting the most traffic from the search engines. I now go ahead and expand that site by making more pages with adsense on this niche because I KNOW it can get me traffic! If I did not know this I might have gone and expanded all my sites when only some of them are going to make such a move profitable.
2. I learn which search engines are sending me the most traffic so I know to work on optimizing my site for the right search engine.
3. I learn which ads are getting clicks and which aren't so I can in google actually ban the ads that don't get clicks and try to change them to some that do!

And that's not all!

Not only that, you can learn what people typed in to a search engine to find your site! Note that this might not be any of your actual keywords! So you can be presented with a new list of keywords for which you can optimize simple pages, add them to your site and start getting more clicks.

Many people fail to test and track because they have the belief that it takes too much time. I think that if you aren't testing and tracking thoroughly (as can be seen above) you are not only wasting time but missing out on a horde of new opportunities!

The New Reciprocal Link

Any internet marketer will tell you about the importance of your 'linking strategy' in getting your website indexed and ranking highly in the search engines.

In the past reciprocal links were all the rage. People were (and still are) trying to get sites with high rankings to link back to their site to show search engines that their site is of greater importance. To do this they were putting links up on their sites, ie You link to my site and I'll link to yours. This was a strategy that worked well.

However, it was always hard to find linking partners. Sure there was software to help, you could hire people and spend your own time sending emails but ultimately, sites that are ranked highly don't usually want to link back to your site because there's nothing in it for them! And you can always use directories but they usually won't provide you with a link that is relevant enough in the eyes of the search engines to significantly improve your ranking.

Furthermore the reciprocal linking theory has changed somewhat in the eyes of the search engines in the past few months. We can only speculate as to why but it has occurred that reciprocal links are given less weight in comparison to one way back links from other sites. Perhaps this is because an inbound link will seem more natural if it doesn't exist only because of a link that you have put up to the linkers site. Anyway we could guess forever but the result is that reciprocal linking is dying.

The big question then is "What do we do instead"?

Get as many one way back links as you can! How do you do that? Well I'm sure that there are many ways but here is one way that I've been using successfully.

You've probably heard people raving about blogs. These days everyone has one, everyone is making them and everyone who doesn't, WANTS TO.

Now, there are people who own 'blog farms' which are large numbers of blogs in a network that are controlled by a central system. On a small scale what I do is post a link to my site on other peoples blogs, either with a sig file or with a link in my post. Now you probably realise that it's going to take a long time to make hundreds of posts with your link to hundreds of blogs and you're right. But there is a faster way!

There are people who run services of blog farms who will give you the ability to post your link to the hundreds of blogs that they own. Do you know what this means? This means you can instantly receive hundreds of backlinks from other (generally high ranking blog) websites, to get indexed in the search engines in record time, improve your sites rankings, and receive a barrage of traffic with almost NO EFFORT!

Doesn't get much easier than that! Using http://www.wpburner.com

How You Can Uncover a Profitable Niche Market

Ok so you know you need to find a niche market, but how on earth do you do that? With so many niches out there, where do you start?

Ok firstly your going to need to go to your computer and open two windows:

1. www.Google.com
2. http://inventory.overture.com

What we are looking for and what we really mean by a niche market is a market that has a relatively low number of pages already listed in the search engines. This figure represents supply or 'competition' for this niche. What we also need a niche to have in order for us to be able to profit from it is a relatively high number of 'demand' or people already searching for this niche.

As in basic economics a high demand and low supply creates value. So, if we can find a niche (meaning a keyword) with these qualities then we stand to profit from it.

To find this information you can look to Google to find the results pages and Overture Keyword Selector to find the number of searches the word has per month.

Ok, so how do we know what is high demand and low supply? Great question! Once you start to have a look around you will get a feel for what is a lot of searches and what is a low number of results pages.

Different people have different definitions in terms of numbers of what is a niche market and what isn't. Generally if you can find a word that has over 10 000 searches per month and 2 million or less results pages in Google. You will have a pretty solid Niche.

To give you an idea to get you started here's an example:

Software: 732 075 searches : 5 500 000 000 results pages
This is a BIG market… High search volume and High competition

Internet Marketing Online: 16 000 searches : 358 000 000 results pages
This is a COMPETITIVE market… Low search volume relative to competition

Pug Dog: 10 000 searches : 5 000 000 results pages
This is a NICHE Market… High search volume relative to competition.

I hope you can see now what I mean by Niche Market…

Find All the Profitable Niche Markets You Can Handle with Revolutionary New Keyword Tool. Find Out More at: www.brainstormgenerator.com

The first step in the process is to find an old domain. There is a more complicated explanation for this but all you really need to know is that the search engines favour domains that are established and have a longer history because they perceive that they are an older and hence more credible source of information. This has been tested extensively and is proven to give faster indexing, more traffic and hence better results.

To find an old domain we use www.1expired.com. Once you have created an account you select the find expired domains tool and begin searching. What we are looking for is a domain with these characteristics:

1. It is over 2 years old.
2. It's pages are that of a decent site not a link farm.
3. It is available.
4. It has at least 1 page already indexed in Google.

Working with www.Archive.org
Using the 1expired.com search you will bring up a list of domains that fit your filters. You will see a button that says archive. When you click this button a screen will come up that shows the history of this domain, including how many pages it has had listed and in which years.

What you are looking for is a domain that has pages listed from more than 2 years ago.
A lot of the domains you click will show no history at all so it is your job to sort through these to find the ones that have. When you find a domain that has history of more than 2 years. When you find a domain with some history it pays to click each page that it has listed to see what kind of page it is (the actual page that was listed in that year will be shown). If it is anything other than a site with a whole lot of links then you can tick step one. (Note: some domains will show a message saying this domain is parked here or the site is under construction or something similar. These domains may have a lot of links but they are not link farms and they are OK to use).

Other checks for domain validity
Ok now you have to go to Google and see whether this domain has pages indexed or not. To do this simple go to Google and type in "site:thedomaininquestion.com". If there are no results for this search then there are no pages indexed and you will have to try another domain. If you see results, (they will usually be the domain itself listed there), then this domain gets tick number 2.

Lastly you just have to check that this domain is available. To do this, just go to http://www.registerfly.com/ and type your domain into the main box that has .com next to it and hit enter. You will see the results and will be able to tell whether or not this domain is available. If the domain is available then you're good to go. This domain is a good usable domain and you are ready to move on to the next step!
