Are my methods sound
Up to now ive been making small 20-30 page review sites in different niches for physical products. Most are unrelated to each other. Some show more interest that others, and some convert better.
The ones that do well have other avenues to follow down, smaller sub niches, related products etc..
What ive considered is instead of focusing on 1 niche and building one site, i would pick a competetive niche, and a competetive keyword to start, and take a suitable domain and then build in lots of smaller subdomains to include the sub-niche keywords, so for example i might pick a competetive keyword in a competetive niche such as Gardening equipment. (I havnt checked any of this out, im just pulling ideas from my grey matter)
my domain would then be gardening-equipment.com
This would be an optimised but general site about gardening equipment, monetized in some way
The first sub-niche could then be lawn mowers
I would then set the site as lawnmowers.gardening-equipment.com
and build and optimize a review site on lawn mowers.
Then leafblowers.gardening-equipement.com
Link them all together
rinse and repeat.
My hope is that by spending enough time, i will be seen as an authority site on gardening equipment, and rank well for not only the sub niches, but also the main keyword.
Once complete, or at a point im happy with, i can then move on to another niche.
Would the guys and girls with more time in the field consider this an avenue to follow, or should i not put all my eggs in one basket. Am i best sticking to single domains, different products etc...
I suppose if i document my progress, i could follow on with an ebook of some sorts and eek my way into that side of the industry
