Important Question About Niche Sites (MFA Included...)

Hello Tim,

OKAY, I think I will go the auto-blog route.

My Questions:

1) What is a good auto-blog script? I plan to pre-load 30 days worth of blog posts, each post focusing on a keyword phrase (in the title). I will probably also submit the same article through a article marketing service (I forgot the name of one off the top of my head) to build backlinks back to an alternative blog post.

2) Is there any specific themes for this concept? Perhaps themes that maximize Adsense earning potentials and then perhaps even room for affiliate recommendations thru banners?

3) I have heard that static HTML pages rank better than blog posts. Would using a plugin for wordpress that converts the posts into .html pages be beneficial.

4) Last but not least, is there anyway to include adsense ads automatically within the actual blog post (and it needs to be automated b.c the blog posts will be drip-fed through a script which I will search for)

The traffic will probably end up on the blog post, in which case hopefully they will purchase my eBook (or click an Ad).

Either way the objective is to flip the site if it has small earning potentials (~$30 or less per week) through Flippa, and keep it and develop it if its better than that.

Still don't know if it sounds "sound". Really want a lot of warriors insights!

Sincerely,
Craig Michaels

Allen,

The sales page WILL have only one outgoing link (order now)

Oh yeah and affiliate pages (and disclaimers if applicable).

The reason why I would use adsense to monetize traffic because
it allows me to attack more niche markets. Why? Because I can
target "non-buying" keywords and still make informational posts
about it.

Main purpose of adsense is to generate a small income. If I
can generate a small income, I can flip the site.

I want to make 1 site a week, flip 3/4 I make a month and keep
1 as a winner.

Sincerely,
Craig Michaels

Okay, if the content is unique and drip fed...that's AWESOME! Google loves FRESH and original content. This is a great model. And you dont need a plugin to drip feed your articles; just change the post date to a future date and it will post then.

I personally use WhydoWork Adsense (do a google search) for some of my adsense placement. It makes it very simply to place Google ads across your site in great locations.

Model looks good. By autoblogging do you mean the articles are going to be written by you or an outsourcer and just autoposted each day? In that case, go for it. If you mean autoblogging, by gathering info from other sites and spinning it, then boo to you. That just adds more crap to the internet and cheapens what real article marketers are doing.

I think you're talking about the first option which is a great way to go about it. You should not only auto feed the blog posts, but you should reformat them to be videos and podcasts as well. This way you hit all three audiences, increase your traffic, and give your site more content with very minimal effort. With 100 articles written, reformatted, and drip fed, you can created a good foundation for sales.

Why don't you use your internal pages to market the ebook on your main page?

Makes the most sense to me unless you find a killer offer related to your website that you want to promote...

That model is pretty much the basis for all my websites. If you are using WordPress, there are plugins to auto ping, and bookmark using onlywire, and auto submit to RSS feeds.

I would take those 30 articles and reformat them into video and podcasts. It would only take a little extra time and be well worth the effort.

Your video traffic would mostly be coming from youtube or the other video sites. Even if your video is embedded from youtube and ranks on front page, you're going to see some traffic from it. It also gives your reader an option to watch the video on the same content rather then read.
