Just the keywords seem to have done it, or maybe others can explain - I had it made for me for vlow $'s - generally I just buy and sell.

Using adfeeders is one thing, but dedicated niche affiliates would be better of course, which is obviously a challenge for chinese domains, have you tried finding them ?

мр3.net has english content, is it IP dependent ?

Good idea, just make sure you are happy with your layout, I have 180 sites now and I have been over allof them 4 days in a row ... using same content but I had to fix some mistakes and also the google adsense layout.

Well, I'm not 100% happy with my layout, but I use php include for the template files and every one of the sites includes the same two php files and one css file. If I were to change one of those three files, it would reflect on every one of the sites. So I have a layout done, now I focus on content. Once I'm done with that, I'll touch up the layout.

IMO, its not so much about building the site as it is producing quality content. Any mini-site developer that truely makes unique content for their sites will tell you that part takes the most time.

Which is why I made a general layout and am now focusing on content. I'll try to make a nice layout once the content is finished.

I only had one web development class in college, but my instructor's big thing was always "content, content, content!" That's also the big thing I've seen in web development tutorial sites, content, content, content.

bondjpf · 07-23-2008, 11:10 AM

I also went and developed most of my parking domains.
I wasn't earning much with them.
Now i can tell you that my earnings are on the lows $x.xxx .
Pretty nice i guess

Thats the point of making mini sites. You have total freedom, and therefore increased income

arthurdaily · 07-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Guys,

Wow.....

Just reading this thread has amazed me and made me think "Why am I wasting time on Sedos 2c per click......?"

I have over 400 domains (Some with very good keywords).

I would like to have some of these mini sites but don't have the time at the moment to do all the grafting...

How much would someone charge me to set up say (10-20) mini-sites with all the adsense trimmings etc?

Arthur

domainer50 · 07-23-2008, 06:33 PM

I do mini site design, and maintenance starting at $15 per site. PM me if you would like to work something out with multiple domians

harkster · 07-23-2008, 09:52 PM

Interesting stuff. I have been an advocate of mini-site development for a long time. Got led astray and involved in some other stuff but going to get back to it. There are some nice tools available these days. Been using eBay feeds for a long time but haven't hit the right niche yet. Nearly all my revenue is from Adsense. I have always believed in trying to provide something useful in the process. Never forget that content is good but original/unique content is indeed king.

bizcorp · 07-23-2008, 10:07 PM

I feel that with minisites you have more control over your domain than when you park it with a parking provider. For example you can self promote your sites and with some parking programs they don't allow you..

Arthur,

It is very easy to do, anybody can do it, plus you get a step by step pdf file to guide you.

thetruman · 07-24-2008, 06:58 AM

hello Billy, developing minisites is surely the way to go (by the way frankly your template is pretty...boring thought of adding some pictures or something? sorry to be frank...).
By my experience developing minisites rewards A LOT. However
1) Content has to be Original - Fresh-Interesting
2) Layout has to be an eye catcher
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=495173
3) Seo optimization at a certain degree is needed.

Am having good results especially with one of mine (ipertiroidismo (dot) c o m) that is about a common disease (hypertiroidism).
Simple layout, VERY RELEVANT ORIGINAL CONTENT (I wrote it). Very little SEO... am having after 3 or 4 monthes from the launch 50-60 uniques a day (and a more then decent click rate).
The point is... it needs a lot of your time (also if you are experienced) to build it...

Billy! · 07-24-2008, 07:33 AM

Is this site better Osama Bin Laden?

I appreciate your reply, but I have nearly 200 Niche Sites and it takes time to update them, but I will follow your advice.

Cheers

thetruman · 07-24-2008, 07:49 AM

it looks much much better....

arthurdaily · 07-24-2008, 12:08 PM

I would 2nd this request...

Can we get some suggestions from guys who have had success on which sites to check out for this purpose?

Who has the nicest and easiest templates?

Thanks...

Standout! · 07-24-2008, 02:47 PM

I think I've got a pretty good template over at my minisite-in-progress: http://IRApros.com.

I've modified a template from http://www.freecsstemplates.org/ into a wordpress theme...

henniemeijer · 07-24-2008, 03:21 PM

maybe you are just better off buiding very few but good content sites instead of putting up all these crap mini sites(with temporary more income than from parked pages), as one way or the other google will come down on those crappy sites as well, like perhaps with digg-help:

bigdipper · 07-24-2008, 06:24 PM

I thought Mr. Latona's www.postofficebox.com and www.businesssupplies.com mini-sites both look very nice...

Does anyone know where they got these templates from?

Thanks...

Those arent templates

Rick Latona, owns offshoring.com and hence, he also controls a team of developers. All of his mini sites are made new every time.

timphelan · 07-24-2008, 11:29 PM

Not sure about the other one but postofficbox.com uses AEIOU.COM.

I like using wordpress. You have thousands of themes to choose from and hundreds of plugins.
