Does anyone have any success stories using Wordpress MU. I'm wanting to create mutiple niche blogs and would like to save money by using subdomins and Wordpress MU. My question is this, will creating niche blogs on Wordpress MU Subdomains be as good as creating niche blogs with their own url?

I've been creating blogs forever but I haven't come to a conclusiong about subdomains compare to using unique domains. If Wordpress MU works and is loved by the search engines, I will just go that route.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    What is MU?

    Having your own url is better, but you need to have good hosting.

    The reason wordpress is powerful is because of it's plugins and a subhost WP blog doesn't allow you to freely alter your blog and use the full potential.

    Wordpress.com is good for advertising another site of yours because it is an authority site and will usually rank quickly, but ranking may not last, either way it will give you some decent link juice (improve your rank) if you use it correctly.

    Thanks for your replys

    Wordprsss MU is Wordpress Multiuser WordPress MU Home

    It's great for building multiple blogs but not sure the search engines like wordpress in a subdomain as much as it does in it's own unique domain.

    What's really nice is that anytime you want a new blog you just have to click a button and a new one is created...really cool!

    I have a script that will allow me to build multiple blogs based on a list of keyword but still wondering about how effective this will be. I haven't had any problems with plugins using subdomains.

    I have had some success using MU. I used to wonder if the blogs created in MU would be indexed.

    After I saw your post, I checked, and sure enough, they were indexed.

    I guess if you find a niche with low competition, your MU blogs should be ranking high too.

    the only problem with Wordpress MU is that when the community grow, it requires very high resources and if you want to implement subdomain base you need to make some modification on server setting.

    But if you're willing to go to dedicated server in the future, yes it's good one, I have one site using wpmu and it's successful.

    Oh one more thing, there are many spammer to MU sites so spare time moderating the site.

    MU is great in concept, but it does have it's limitations. There are several plugins used by 'progressive' wp'ers that will not work properly in mu but work well in standard wp.

    I wish it was completely compatible, as I would use it. I have created multi-blogs with both wp and wp-mu and I will use the standard wp, even with the admin burden because it just works.

    I don't use MU but I do have wordpress installed on multiple subdomains. I just setup wildcard DNS on each domain and then add each subdomain to Apache conf.

    This lets me install wordpress on as many subdomains as I want.

    a.site.com
    b.site.com
    c.site.com
    etc...

    I directly compared Wordpress and Wordpress MU with a couple of themes and encountered missing or suppressed functions in MU. For instance, MU didn't display the Theme Edit function under the Appearance Menu, but it was present in Wordpress.
