Going Big with MFA Sites? How viable is this?

I think you're crazy.

Why not build something of value instead of just junk, especially with borrowed money.

The bank's nuts to give that money to you.

My site provide information that's useful to the user. Instead of writing 10 pages of nonsense, I write 1 750 words article that can cure AIDS. (i.e: give reviews, compare products, bizrate.com style)

MFA sites don't have to be junk.

I have my writers put together SEVERAL feature articles that are 750 words with very high quality content (I do pay a lot more than $1 per 100 words) for each site.

Then I have them put together SEVERAL well written articles of about 250 to 500 words per site. Each site has dozens, sometimes 100's of very readable material that solves real problems and is very helpful.

Then between myself and a team of outsourcers I get quality backlinks; UAW is just one source. Plus I naturally get links over time because the sites are seen as resources.

I try to create something better than about.com or other top sites on the internet for every site I build. This mentality of putting out great content and building high quality sites has been very lucrative for me.

You're aiming very low and shooting for quantity over quality. Yours is not a long-term plan, yet you're planning on borrowing money long-term. It's a recipe for disaster.

I guess everyone has their own way of doing things, but you're crazy to take out a bank loan with a business model like that.

Good luck.

Just because you pay more doesn't mean you put out better quality articles than mine. Bottom line is ROI and quality links are only proven if it improves your ranking and the ROI justifies it.

Do you make back what you spent? in 3 months?

Thanks for the input.

Ok. Why don't you just spend the cash on developing ONE or TWO content authority sites for any niche you want. Then generate as much traffic as you can with the rest of your cash. Join a CPM network that pays $3 - $4 per CPM (they do exist) and then find a pop under network that pays similarly.

Seems a lot less stressful than trying to run 1000 websites that could be slapped in an instant with any future google algo update. Or you could just hit up Vegas and put $10,000 on black three times. You might have better odds.

I wouldn't do it. I'd go to Flippa and buy websites already earning revenue. Just one website will be enough to cover your monthly minimum for your loan.

What is the purpose of this thread? You've already made up your mind so this is pointless.

OR, go local with it instead of adsense. Buy 10 domains for each niche and dominate the entire first page of google for each niche. Then rent out each site to 1 or 2 different local businesses for $400 a pop. Lets say you get 4 sites rented for 800 (400x2 biz) thats $3200 a month per niche.

Do it, Do it.

Best advice so far. Instead of 1000 sites, shoot for 250 or maybe even just 100 that are already earning. Just having ones that are several months old is a big advantage over new ones and, of course, earnings are always good. You can buy them right here in the Websites For Sale section too.

Blimey! why make things so difficult for yourself :confused:

Just build one AUTHORITY site - same volume of articles - and you should dominate the niche, and have higher profits.

And managing 1,000 domains, what unecessary cost and a headache.

Here's what I think...




My recommendation would be to start small, learn the ropes, get the tools you need and the outside help you need, expand, rinse/repeat. Oh, and cash flow it as much as possible and stay away from the credit cards and loans.

Reading your previous posts, I was under the impression you already had hundreds of mini MFA sites raking in a few hundred dollars a day. So just wondering the purpose of the post?

Great idea! Go ahead! Start BIG! Make it BIG! All the way! Horray!


Just don't come back 3 months later with another post saying "I'm $30,000 in debt because Google slapped all my sites because of XYZ...."

Man, you're taking a HUGE risk. MFA sites are deindex prone.

MFA = Mothaf**k Adsense

Definitely not the way that I would spend $30,000.

I would use all of that to build one or two large authority sites and promote those.

You are spreading yourself way too thin to create over 1000 sites - even if the content is superb.

Alternatively you could start a huge article directory - that would allow you to focus on a ton of niches, get a crap load of content in it from the beginning and start building links to ONE site.

After a few months you could open the site up for submissions and you'd have a much larger asset then 1000 MFA sites.

Seriously listen to everyone else....you are nuts for even thinking of this!

What happens if you get banned by adsense or your 1000 junk mini sites get deindexed? Then what? Your 30K in the hole actually more with interest charged.

Im sitting here really amazed surely this is some kind of joke? Get a loan for $2-3K if you have to....otherwise your better off buying 30K worth of Gold or Silver and hanging on to your seat, because your idea sounds like a huge disaster in the making.

My psychic told me I'd win the lottery and quit my job.

Today, I quit my job. I'm halfway there!

I'd go with much fewer sites that have much more content per site, but that's just me. Good luck if you go through with it. And let us know how it's working out after a few months.

So does this guys still lurk around here at WF? It has been 4 months since his post....surely he either got the loan or he didn't by now.

One I don't see how IM takes thousands of dollars to 'start' let alone continue because IF it is a profitable business model you should be MAKING money.

I think this was a case of more MONEY than CENTS. er....SENSE.

This post is an exact replica of the one posted over at "w1ck3df1re" by "Clyde" (if I remember the username correctly).

Either you're "clyde", or you're copying his risky venture (or he's copying yours).

In any case, I thouhgt you were already engaging in a 1000 domain adsense network some months ago?

It seems the banks have still not learnt their lessons from their last brush with bankrupcy.
