Alright, I have been following this thread all week and have finally formulated my game plan. I am a huge fan of Eli's SEO Empire article and must have read 20 times the week it was published. Then this week I stumbled on this thread and it has filled in so many of my questions.
Before I get started with my plan, I would like to thank all the people that take their time to contribute to this community. I have never seen a forum and helpful or as valuable as this one. I have been lurking for a while now, generally because I felt I didn't have much to contribute. Now is my chance! I look forward to meeting all of you.
My Plan:
I want to create a large network of autoblogs. These blogs will have 5-10 feeds per blog. My goal is to create 2000 blogs in the next three months. (A little outside of the scope of this challenge, but hey, a goal is a goal!)
Methodology:
I have developed a primary and secondary strategy to accomplish my goal.
- Primary: Install WordpressMU on a dedicated server. I will use Eli's autoblog zip and hopefully I can get it compatible with WPMU.
- Secondary: Use RSStoBlog to create my network. I would rather not spend the $250, but will bite the bullet if need be...
In order to produce such a large number of blogs, I will be contracting out some of my work to Independent Contractors (trusted friends) on a revenue sharing deal. The goal is for each person to create 125 blogs per month.
I am hoping I have get the setup time down to 10 minutes per blog. I believe this is possible.
I aim to make an average of $.15 per day per blog.
If anyone sees any apparent flaws in my logic, please shout it out! I will post updates as I progress.
