Serious Help Needed- 1000 Niche Sites Liquidation

12 years ago

Sorry to hear about the big hit... that really sucks! I am assuming the sites are making a combined amount of $5/day and they were hit by the latest algo update?

Here is a thought (not sure if it will work or not):

You have around 12000 articles on each site! If you let the domains expire and wait for the articles to be removed from the index (or ask Google to do it via GWT if it is installed, which I doubt).

Once the pages are removed from the index you will essentially have 12000 unique articles which you can resell. If the niches you chose are popular and evergreen then you can market it in your sig. or even resell PLR packs via the WSO section. I'm sure there are other ways to try and sell these articles as well... you just need to find what works best (not my area so I can't help you there).

Just a thought!

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Yes a combined amount of earning is around $5 per day. I did not think in that way. I did not do much SEO work so not many pages are indexed. No SEO work for most of the sites.

The problem really is that your sites are worthless after the recent EMD update! Investors are not going to be interested in purchasing these sites. Your best bet IMO is to try and resell the articles! Of course, if the articles are poor quality then you going to have a hard time selling them!

Maybe another warrior may have a better suggestion!

Added: Another option that may be worthwhile once the articles are removed from the index is for you to take the articles and publish them on a revenue sharing site like infobarrel.com which pays an ad share of 75%. If your KWs are low comp. you can post these articles on infobarrel and create mini-sites within infobarrel where you interlink all related articles. I was testing that site out a few months ago and posted like 5 articles on the site and I am still receiving an income from those articles. Low comp. KWs rank quickly on infobarrel.

I think this is a good alternative option for you and the other thing is you can promote Amazon products as well and receive 100% from any sales generated!

Thanks

Thanks IM Ash. Do you think infobarrel is better than build several sites containing related articles regarding topics?

Well first of all what were you thinking?
If only you have invested 50K in one site that would be a different story today.
Anyway there is no way you can recover even half of what you have invested.

Your best bet is to find broker like latonas.com and flip them for $50 USD each or you can do some cheap backlinks with x-rumer or se-nuke and get pagerank up to PR3 or PR4 then try to sell them that would be easy sell for $150 - $200 USD per domain.

I hope that helps

Thanks

@chukcha, I know that I am a completely nerd, idiot and was so stupid. Thanks for your help. I am not kind of afraid to spend anymore money on this since I lost too much. In addition, I do not have money to renew domains and do seo. Also I am worrying about selling them $150~200 after what you said because right now no buyers are really interested on this. Entire sites were listed on flippa.

What would be the cost for using brokers? Any idea?

  You can do both!
  
  This is what I will do if I was in your position but I will need to invest a bit. This will be like a recovery strategy:
  
  Firstly I will identify 3 broad markets to create 3 large sites around! So maybe I will go with finance, health and home! Then I will look at my articles and place them in to these 3 groups - I will choose the best articles to use here! I will try an place 1-2000 articles in each group but I will also consider how I am going to structure each site when choosing the articles. So maybe when considering the finance group I will think of the type of categories I will use like personal finance, credit, insurance, make money etc. When I choose my article I will have an idea of where excatly each article is going to go to ensure my site remains topical and themed!
  
  This is going to be a huge job which may take a year to complete if you doing everything yourself!
  
  Next, I will invest in 3 brandable domains for each site I am going to create! I will choose domains that are already established, have age 3+ years, Domains authority of 60+, and a large number of quality links already in place. These domains will cost you about $300-$500 each (maybe more or less if you lucky). But I will consult an expert so as to not purchase duds. I will also want the domains to be atleast PR4.
  
  Next, I will organize all my articles according to the categories that I chose beforehand! I will sign-up for a a paid subscription at socialaddr so that I can bookmark my articles when I begin posting to the sites - you will actually get traffic from the each bookmark that you do which will bring in an income! I will setup the sites with quality mind and using a silo structure and then I will post about 3-4 articles to each site each day! Each article that I post I will bookmark via socialaddr!
  
  I will also make sure each article is tageted to a long-tail kw with low comp. I'll add a pic or video to each article as well if the article is thin! This is the first phase and it will probaly take you about 3 hours a day to do this.
  
  Thereafte I will take all the left-over articles ensuring I keep them grouped according to the sites that they were on. So each group of article will have 10-15 articles as they were on the sites that you created. I will post these article on infobarrel ensuring that each article is targeting a low comp/long tail kw. Each group of articles will be interlinked within infobarrel to create a themed microsite within infobarrel which will help with rankings!
  
  I will also bookmark each article that I post! Infobarrel only accept unique articles so get a copyscape account and pass the artilce through before submitting (just in case your articles were scraped and used on another site). I will have to post 20-30 articles each day... so you can actually do like two groups a day which will be all the articles from 2 sites posted in one day. This will take another 3 hours maybe 4 hours with the bookmarking!
  
  I will have to do this for the next year! I think this will work because as your content gets indexed and ranked you will start getting traffic and clicks so you will see your income levels increasing which should keep you motivated!
  
  Anyway, this is what I will do!
  
  Best of luck man! You will rise again

@Michael Ten, how do you make money with article directory? via adsense?
@IM Ash, are those articles are really garbage?? Then it looks the only solution is to have an article directory like site. But still your idea except infobarrel is valid, isn't it?.

The content looks like it is some sort of highly spun article... it is not even relevent to the the site... garbage is putting lightly!

My idea still stands but it isn't going to work if all the articles are similar to those listed on flippa!

Sorry man... this was just a really bad investment on your part!

Holy cow. IM Ash is right. Wow. Utter garbage. OP...Awful, awful, awful investment. If all sites are like the one I'm looking at, they are beyond worthless. I wouldn't even start an article directory with that content.

OP, have you even read the content? Unless you asked for spun crap, I'd maybe try recouping the cost of the "articles" via legal action. That may be your best bet but I'm afraid that is exactly what you asked for.

Am I reading the thread right?

Do 700 sites (or more) each make $5 a day?

Or all 1,000 make together make $5 a day?

Cuz $5 a day for 700 sites is $3500 a day.

Two completely different scenarios, and if each
site makes $5 a day, then I don't know what the
problem is.

No site is worthless if it has not been de-indexed.

Sell each one for $51, and you make a profit.

  You have 1000 sites making a TOTAL of $150 or so per month. That means most of them are not earning anything. At $150/month, they whole collection isn't worth more than a few grand at most.

If he's earning $3500 a day he wouldn't be starting this thread.

What about moving all the articles to one site that has many niches covered, and then letting the domains you don't use expire? Like your own article directory?

Scratch my advice! Just looked at the site listed on Flippa and the content is well, garbage! Infobarrel will not accept that and it really isn't going to help on a larger site either. Dunno what you going to do... I'm out of ideas! Maybe the previous posters advice about an article directory may be worth looking into!

Sell to the highest bidder at any cost as your sites get more and more worthless by the day. That is, of course, if they aren't already worthless.

I suggest learn from your mistake (don't invest so heavily before you know what you're doing) and move on. Don't cut off a healthy leg to save a rotting arm or in this case, waste a valuable asset (your time and money) to save something of little market value.

You messed up on the contract then. I guess you could argue that the content that was provided doesn't qualify as "articles". With $50K at stake, legal action should at least be considered if the content isn't what you ordered.

After reading that example... Why would you want to keep the content?

Another way to look at it is this, your content generates 5 dollars a month.. do you really think it is worth 50k?

Not to be mean, but they are basically trash already. Have you read the articles?

In my opinion, selling that stuff to anyone without EXPRESSLY telling them what awful quality it is borders on ripping them off, to be honest.

Out of interest, where did you buy those sites from?

Didn't you read the content on the sites before going through with the deal?

Sorry to say this mate but you'll have to accept this whole endeavor as a complete loss.

The only thing you can do may be to bundle the sites that earn those $150 a month and try to sell them for around $1,000-1,5000 in total.

Someone may be interested in them because of the earnings. But I doubt they'll pay too much for those judging by the "quality" of content you have there. Anyone who buys those sites will most likely have to re-invest in content.
