There is a new company selling a popular variation of an existing product, it's beginning to sell nationwide due to exposure in major magazines. I'm going to register 100-120 domains using the product name and city name, such as newyorkcityproduct.com and productnewyorkcity.com. Most, if no all, are unregistered. Once I have those 100 or so domains, I'm going to build a site or network of sites that are relevant to the product, city, and such. Once I get them ranked top 10 or better, start selling the landing pages (cityproduct.com landing page only, not the domain.) to businesses selling the product in that city.

The businesses that sell this product profit between $50 and $5000 per sale, depending on the options purchased and how it's delivered. I'm guessing I can price the landing page between $500 and $10,000 per market per month, depending on the population of market.

So long as I keep the site PR 1-4 or better and top 10 and keep buying related product and city domains and getting them ranked, I should be good for about 18 months, right?

Anyone find a fucked up fault in this? Rip it to shit. It's going to cost me about $4000 to do and I want to get the WF opinion before I go.
 


trademark issues with the domain name? since the domain is obviously used for their product it will be easy for them to prove that you are using it in "bad faith" and with "commercial purpose" which should be enough to take the domain from you (IF they care)
 
essentially a directory business to something specific instad of something generic.

Not bad.

The guys from funeralhomes.com come up on top for the obvious and list all local companies and then call the businesses that they're referring the most clicks for that week and threaten to remove them from the list if they don't pay them to list them as the "premium listing"

Just another way to sell what you''ll have without pissing of the original manufacturer
 
Duplicate content = not ranking high in Google. Unless you can develop 100 websites each describing the same product in a unique way.

That's my idea. Single script running. Based on URL, different content displays. One web in IIS, all headers point to same script, only the domain name will determine the content shown.
 
This isn't that powdered energy drink stuff, is it?
The type that you just add water and BAM!, you've got a glass of RedBull???

I'm thinking you'd want to have a different site for each city, as what works for New York is definitely not going to work in Atlanta, as the cities have a different feel, and different people chose to live in them.
Maybe get a template, mail merge the text a bit, and make sure you've got different imagery for each city that's more market appropriate.

Not energy drink.

Good idea on the localization. Thanks!
 
not a bad idea. If you could get top rankings and there is signifigant traffic on the pages you might do well. Your pricing structure/mo might be high for local businesses.
