MFA sites, $2000 for the start. Any advice?

Don't worry too much about IPs and hosting.. build good sites, with worthy content and don't break rules of Google then you should be fine.

With 2k you can build at least 20 sites. More if you install blog yourself. You could buy ready made sites here on WF but it's good to learn to set them up yourself cuz then you will know how to work with them, how to fix them etc.

I spend about 70 bucks on a site. Domain is 10 bucks (.com, .net, .org), hosting is cheap, then about 20-25 bucks on content and about $30 on linkbuilding. I am willing tho to spend about 50 bucks on linkbuilding to get to 1st place on Google, some others will spend only limited amount of money and then see which sites perform well for limited budget and only spend more on best performers.

Heard good things about BMR, so use them if you can. Do some article directory submissions too, plenty of them on WF for 25 bucks or more. Sometimes even less! Gotta test couple of them.

Don't expect too much tho from this business model. If sites makes about $1/a day then you are doing fine. According to people who are smarter and more experienced than me in this, it's a numbers game. 1 of 10 sites will do more than 100 bucks a month (some even do $1000), 4 will be average and do 30 bucks a month and others will be stinkers doing less...5-15 bucks. A lot depends on keyword research so focus on that!!!!

Best of luck

you can buy some unique designs for mfa sites if you would like to create quality websites where your visitors will come back.

2 grand is a good budget to start building MFAs. I would build 2-4 quality sites rather then 15-20 small crappy sites. You will make more money building authority sites plus you will gain more trust from google and from your perspective users. Make 10-20 page sites and you will be golden. You need to diversify your links. BMR is good but you need to diversify your links and not just have one type of links.

Unless you are going for some killer terms and traffic MFAs on a dedicated may be overkill and depending on your cost for that a waste of money in the beginning. You can always upgrade with traffic.

With that cash buy a few of your own domains with PR and you will kill in decent serps when you mix it up with the other link building.

where are you getting domains for so cheap?

Here's some advice - You're completely wasting your $2000. With Adsense on all your sites you need to understand that eventually all of your sites will come under manual review from a Google employee. And guess what? All your sites are connected with the same G adsense account. So if they deindex your site for being a MFA site (and they will) they will also deindex all your other sites as well. So kiss your $2000 goodbye.

I kinda know this from experience. Last December i had 130 of these 1-3 page adsense sites and they were cranking in almost $9000 a month. But last January a human reviewer deindexed ALL of my sites!

I would strongly suggest you build affiliate sites. Whether it's Amazon or clickbank or whatever. Your sites won't be connected (dont use the same webmaster tools/ analytics account for them all) so it's safer. And you will make more money too.

Backlinks - I've noticed that it's gotten really easy to get your site penalized/sandboxed for doing the wrong kind of backlinks since the last Panda update (October).

Be careful with blog comment backlinks. If you find a blog to comment on and it has 30-100 other blog comments with outgoing links - don't put a link there. You may actually lose rankings if you do that. I recently had a site on the middle of page 1 of google and i did 6 blog comments on spammed out pages. Two days later my site fell from page 1 to page 5. And this type of penalty usually lasts 1-3 months.

It seems that prior to the October Panda update "bad" backlinks wouldn't hurt your rankings - but now it will. It's not fair but it's true.

Good luck!

How about building sites that don't get monetized by Adsense? Build those sites around product niches and you should do well and not worry about a manual review or ban.

I agree with a few posts in this thread (too lazy to quote). Diversify your streams of monetization to be on the safe side.

I would also suggest building a couple of sites with authority and good content rather than smaller sites that are just junk.

Less sites = less overheads and a chance to make more money + less maintenance and ongoing costs.

For me MFA is good teacher to learn how to make money from adsense. I recommend putting on your thinking hat, get involve in niches and build your site up to $1, 500, it won't cost you more than what you want to spend on a site.

Buy some great high converting themes, EDM, and higher guys at fiverr for you ground work.

Could you elaborate on this a little bit more? I have heard negative connotations concerting the term "made for Adsense," however, I can't understand why Google would de-index your sites because you have Adsense on all of them? Why would Google provide a service such as Adsense and then penalize you for scaling its use?

They don't penalize your for scaling its use, they penalize you for not providing what searchers are looking for.

Build sites for users which just happen to be monetized with Adsense. Do not build Adsense sites which just "kind of" take visitors into consideration for the purpose of getting clicks.

I think the basic concept is, build a HUMAN UNDERSTANDABLE websites. I've seen lot of websites which I don't even know what is it all about. Doesn't mean that you need to have hundreds of post. Just build your website for human and you will be alright

Sucks to be you, now i see why your so upset...

If I were you, I won't spend all 2 grand to promote new websites, buying other's old websites probably would be easier and more beneficial.
