Somebody asked me if i make niche sites...Here was my long answer!

No/yes..

mini niche sites are used in my strategy..but just as a tool to get traffic...
heres the secret.

get a list of keywords that you want to target..i always start with 10, you can add more asyou see fit.

ill get a domain name and setup 10 subdomains, under that domain name. using the 10 keywords that i found.

then ill add a wordpress blog, doesnt matter what them i use, but i always add the platinum seo plugin...

now on these blogs the goal is to get it ranked for the keyword that you used as the subdomain...

so what i do is i'll write 10 really long posts, all on different topics but still optimized for the specific keyword..

the longer the post the better, because i go to the google wonder wheel and throw in alot of related terms around my targeted keywrd...this makes google really heappy. also with a really long post you'll naturally throw in other keywords and you'll get traffic and ranked for those as well.

Then you make sure that each article is linked to two of the other articles that you just wrote.. do this by using context links.

this helps keep your pagerankflowing and for some reason google just loves sites with good internal linking stucture.

then of course you ass all of the social networking buttons, so that people can make your site spread like a god damn cold.

then you put an email popup, i use action popup...
then you embed an email signup form on the sidebar. but of course you have to offer something...nobody is going to signup to your list for nothing.

then to spread even more virally...im mean this upgrades you from a cold to the flu..
as your thank you page for joining your list you need to make that a TELL A FRIEND PAGE!.

SO HERES IS THE FLOW...

they signup to your list on your blog-
they are redirected to a tell a friend pgae that allows them tell all of their email friends, facebook friends..blah blah--
then after that they are redirected to a page to get their download link.

at the top of the tell a friend page tell them that they have to complete this step so that they can be redirected to their free offer...be honest with them..it works better.

so this what this whole strategy does. it allows you to get lots of free traffic from google and it allows you to build your list.

and the list is how i make all of my money. im not going to go into details onhow you market to your list..but i will suggest that you spend a great deal of time learning how to build a relationship with them...
