If content can make you more $$$, how should it be offered?

[Frank Michlick]

SharedReviews (SR) has now built up enough content to start testing different monetization strategies with parking providers and portfolio holders. We need your help to find out which of the following you would find most attractive. Any feedback or suggestions outside of the options are appreciated as well.

Pre-face: For tier-2 domains with direct navigation traffic that generate parking revenue, early tests and the assumptions for this poll are that content integration will:

a) Lower conversions and revenues for first 2-3 months
b) Eventually increase overall traffic from return visitors and search engine rankings 3-4X
c) Eventually increase overall revenue by 50-90%
d) Increase re-sale value of domains due to a more developed property with higher overall traffic

For the technically interested we are looking at different methods to deliver the content (and possibly additional functionality) to you, but are mostly considering a type of API/XML feed construct. In order to get you going we would be providing a sample implementation you could use as a base.

In the poll "community functionality" refers to comments, voting, signups, user accounts etc.

Thank you for your help,

Sounds interesting, I've voted.

PM me if you want a beta tester

surely this is going to have the same flaw as whypark, duplicate content issues

 

[Shared]

We're taking many steps to avoid duplicating content during the syndication process. As well, all content from our system is completely unique and legally acquired from our authors through a proprietary revenue sharing structure.

The service as a whole and any fees we may charge will be structured around proven results we'll share prior to a formal offering, so I think Frank's question is more about how you would like it offered assuming it's been proven.

 

[irishmat]

so you are going to supply completely unique content for every domain on the system? if so im in but i highly doubt it

 

[TheBulldog]

I'll toss in my doubt on that as well unless you are using rewrite scripts to change words. In which case that doesn't count as unique, at least to me.

Interesting concept though. Would be interested to know if one writer is going to write individial articles for one parked domain that doesn't even get one hit a month.

Offering unique content per user would be like walking on water...gl.

doesnt count as unique to me either and anyways there is only so many ways you can spin one article

Actually we are initially focusing on product reviews. Meaning the writers do not directly write for specific domains, but they write product reviews in one of our 400 or so categories. So the content would work best on product related domains.
