Second attempt

harkster · 08-14-2008, 07:32 PM

Not quite ready for submissions yet but am setting up a directory for mini-site builders. Free with no link required but appreciated. Will post when www.PUXX.net is open.

No idea if is a good or bad idea but the software was free and the name just sitting there so...

I have created a few sites - http://www.dubaimegacity.com , http://www.shapelybutt.com and http://www.coconutcoir.com.

These have done much better than parked sites however not as great as I had expected. Developing sites can be very time consuming. Most of my sites are still parked.

^ I agree.. Why do you guys bother with minisites if you have less than 5? The hosting is at least 6$ a month, and some of the sites added together don't even make that much. Plus the effort of making these sites, is it even worth it?

I sell hosted minisites for $75 including 12 months hosting

This is my very first attempt at a minisite http://www.calihybrids.com
Any feedback would be great, as Im rather new to this.

"can not, and choise".

I had not noticed that. I doubt I will be able to correct that without modifying the database and digging deep into the code which is far to much work. I can't move a listing to root so... As I said the package ain't got lots of bells and whistles. I kinda like its K.I.S.S approach. Also I don't like the free versions of the big name directory scripts.

While I may, at times be playing with things I am ready to take listings from anyone who wants to try this experiment with me. Link is in sig. I have approved several sites and will be adding a number of mine. I will likely approve anything except adult (for now) and sites which are clearly MFA and/or content scraper sites.

Oh yes, it is not strictly limited to mini-sites as they will help the overall feel. I have also decided to extend registration of the name so it will be there until 2010 (unless my body decides to assume room temperature).

BTW, the idea is not to create one of those big time directories but instead to hopefully provide some link 'juice' and traffic to mini-site builders. I have a couple other ideas banging around in my head.

how much are you guys making from these sites?

Replying to this a bit late as I've been out of town. I see several people have waved away the notion that you needed a minimum # of pages in order to avoid getting banned by Google adsense. To be honest, I'm not sure where I got the #20 - maybe that part I'm way off on.

However, from what I've been reading over the past year (from a variety of 'trustworthy' sources) - it seems that Google has gotten very tough on MFA sites. And not just the spammy kind either. People on other forums were claiming to get shut down for having multiple 'mini sites' without explanation. Of course, I can't confirm each and every one, but for some of the sites I was able to check out - their content was relevant and no blackhat tricks were implemented.

My understanding is that Google has been cleaning up their search results overall (and succeeding as recent outside reports suggest)...with the intention to take down as many bogus sites as possible (not just blatant spam or MFA).

While some of these examples posted are quite good - and probably should be just fine - my feeling is that Google will catch up with some of the others and it's really just a matter of time.

I like it - but... Does GoDaddy put that nasty banner up there because you have it hosted there? Any way to remove that?

And, oh - "definitely" in: Gas Mileage - You will definately save some money at the pump

L2

The banner is only there because Im using their "free" hosting that came with the domain name. If the site ends up doing ok, then Ill pay for the "real" hosting and the banner will go away. Thanks for the input on the site.

I don't want to say exactly. The number of active sites moves up and down but usually 30-40. I can say that I just looked at the records and it has been 26 months since I failed to receive a monthly check from Google. It is looking like this month will set a new record for me and I ONLY have 29 active names right now. I am bring up at least one new mini a week (and/or updating some designs and content) and there are some which I will be dropping. It is work though as there is seldom a day goes by that I am not looking for ideas, building, dealing with content, doing promotion and watching stats. I typically don't build and sell as I have a goal of building a $XXXX/month income stream.

Oh yes, I am having some fun in the process. Sort of like when I worked as a software engineer -- you mean that someone will really pay me large $$$ for doing something that is so damn much fun!!??

Minisite I am developing for domain parking. Not done yet, but have added a few reviews and what not. Total Dev Time so far ~45 minutes.

How do you like Joomla?

I haven't optimized the site yet - it's totally brand new. I bought the domain less than 48 hours ago from MWZD

Thanks for the heads up, though!

I love Joomla. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to use.

Mine too. Think about your likely user base (who's likely to be able to afford condos?), and tailor to suit.

Reminds me of when I was designing the CD artwork and booklet for a southern rock band made up of former members of bands big in the 70's - when I considered the likely age of the fan base, I had to change the font color and raise the font size up two points, cause most everyone looking at it was over 40 and many over 50. It meant extra pages, but everyone could read it, heh.

You're right. I darkened them up a bit. A bit easier to read now.
