In reference to this post by Jon: Super Affiliate Marketing Blog » Why Investing In Cheap Domains & Blogs Is Better Than The Stock Market

I would like to know what resources he used to outsource. My calculations tell me that he's making around $37-38 per year with each site. I've already made 2 of my own today using Wordpress, each having around 180-220 words of content, 5 PR5-PR6 directory submissions and 4 other random link submissions, and its taking me 2-3 hours per site. Where can I go to outsource this stuff (the 5-10 directory submit per site and content writing), and do it on the cheap? Also, is 180-220 words enough for this kind of gig? Thanks for the help, I'll be sure to report my earnings (if I earn anything haha).
 


I started a thread on outsourcing in the shooting the shit section last week. Check it out.

for starters:

Hmm, thanks guys. With these sites only expected to earn around $25-30 a year I need to find a good balance between quality content (for SEO) and cheap ass prices. And how do I know these guys aren't just going to copy and paste an article, or switch around a few words?
 
u dont, just try to avoid the indian companies for content... english is horrid
 
Well, I plan to do at least 2 a day until I get sick of it. The most tedious part of it all is the DNS configuration, database installation, and Wordpress modification. The content writing and link submission really aren't that bad. However if I could get somebody else to do it for me, it would definitely speed things up.

Well I know for a fact that this method will work. Wordpress seems to do better in the SERPs than regular HTML, and I have a regular HTML site sitting out there earning around $26 in 7 months. I've only submitted it to a few directories and let it sit. Now its only a matter of time of building these sites, waiting for the traffic to trickle in, and earn some cash.
 
can you elaborate on your configuration a little - are you using a seperate wordpress directory for each domain and sharing a database? thanks for posting, keep us updated!
 
Using wordpress for this seems pretty silly. Too much wasted server space and CPU use. If you host an entire network of these sites on one IP (no reason not to other than less effective cross linking), you could just set up wildcard DNS and manage every domain from a simple script. Use a list box for your list of domains and have a place to add the articles. If you ask the writers to deliver the entire set of articles as a zip file that somehow specifies the domain, you could have a script to just take the uploaded zip and populate the DB that has all your content in it automatically.
 
One of the big reasons you want to spread it out (not use a single shared/reseller host), is that when Google sees a pattern (lots of spam blogs on a single IP), they can easily ban the single IP (or all domains they know about on that IP) and your entire network will be dead. If you spread it out over 10 hosts, they will only take down 1/10th of your network when they get lots of complaints.
 
How are you getting around the hosting fees? Hosting 1000 domains on different IP's is going to be expensive? What's the right way to do that for the lowest cost?

host them on the same shared server for $9/mth.
 
He's saying have 10 hosts with 10 IPs share the 1000 domains. 100 domains per IP. This is essentially what I am already doing, however, not to this extreme yet.

That's exactly what you should do. You don't have to worry about expensive hosting either - $5 per month per 100 sites is all you have to spend with these "throw-away" domains for hosting.
 
try ebay for hosting. seriously. i've gotten some shared hosting packages for 10-20 a YEAR with unlimited domains. Actually some of these people hosting out of their basement have much faster and reliable hosting than the "pros" (cough GoDaddy cough). And since it's throw-away domains, who really cares.
 
and then google bans your 1 domain and your out of biz.

then just make a db dump, set it up on different but seo'ed domain and voila... new go.

but you can spend of course 1.000 hours upfront just for installing 1.000 wordpress installations...
