Hi Bobbie,

"Clickbank links don't allow for affiliates to sign each other up ... do they?"

No I'm saying if anyone BUYS the service, use Stephens link so he makes commish.

"I have to wonder where they are getting the articles, but I suppose if you're just looking to earn some PR from Google you wouldn't be to concerned with saturation issues ... yes?"

Well content does not equal PR, links do right? There still is or should be a concern over saturation because of possible duplicate content issues. That's why I would want to find out a lot more about what he's doing and where he gets the content before I used the service. It still looks like a better option than other rev share domain parking services like Sedo. I've had a bunch of great KW domains parked there for a couple years and never made a dime.

Ohhhh, gotcha! Yeah, I'd do that no problem.

Personally, I believe that content does have an effect on the PR ... atleast, that's what I've seen in my experiements with it.

There was a concern about saturation in the past, but I've not been able to prove or disprove that concern. I have duplicated content all over the Net and it's getting gobbled up just fine. So, when I was contemplating that ... what went through me noggin' was ... a bunch of the same type of coded sites with all the same content ... by keyword of course ... would Google sniff it out or not? Would there be any threat of Google seeing those pages as gateways? You see what I'm saying? Keyword saturated areas might get punished and in turn Google might punish the parent company ... that's the might maybe I was thinking about.

However, I'm just chatting ... personally, I'd say GOT FOR IT!!! Parked domains aren't making any headway as they are. The only threat is if they got punished along with the parent company ... back to the sandbox they'd go.

It appears the platform he uses scrapes the web only for the keywords you input into each account. This makes for 100% targeted content. Duplicate content...I'm not sure about this one nowadays...but if you're concerned it should not be an issue since the articles are randomly rotated. You can also upload your keyword targeted articles to the service but they will also be sued on other user accounts if they're targeting on the same keywords.

Besides the revenue earning potential here, if you're soley using the service to generate affiliate or contextual advertising profits, the major aspect of this service is the domain establsihment and PR benefits. You can make much more revenue from a developed domain with PR when you're ready to sell.

Wow StephenR, I think that they have an awesome strategy going there. Have you bought in? Can you let us know how quickly yoyu go from PR0 to PR? ... let us know your results without telling us the domain names of course?

Thanks for all this info ... wicked awesome!

I'll let you klnow when I have solid results. However, going from a PR 0 to a PR whatever will only take one Google update. Just link to the site from one of your established domains until Google picks the site up. PR will be passed.

...Or simply buy a text link from text-link-ads.com for one month. You don't need to continually use that service (although it's awesome) once PR has been passed as long as you employ some sort of link popularity campaign (i.e. article submissions, forum sigs, etc.)

domainhop also isnt bad for parking, I have a few over there

Here's 2 of my domains I transferred over to WhyPark:

http://www.actionfiles.com/
http://www.adsensetipster.com/

The first domain had already been indexed and carried some PR. The second was not picked up yet. However, you can get you site in MSN and spidered within hours if you navigate to msn.com and paste your URL in the search box. If it's not indexed MSN will say "We couldn't find any results containing http://www.yourdomainname.com/." Under "Search Tips" just click on "send the address to us and follow the directions. Your site should get spidered soon

The content WhyPark gathers is pretty well targeted to the keywords I input into the system. You can also earn a little more coin by allowing outside advertisiers to place ads on your site.

I would like to see more design flexibilty but I'm told that is forthcoming. OK, I gotta get back to configuring the other 80+ domains I haven't gotten to yet.

Thanks for keeping us informed Stephen.

How much time did you need to invest to get each domain set up? Just order and provide KW list or its there more to it?

AffiliateGuild · #19 (**permalink**) 08-29-2006, 06:18 PM

Thanks for keeping us updated. This is really cool to watch. Did either of those domains have any PR before you started? How long have they been with WhyPark?

I thought about that extra advertising dollar too ...

great minds, eh?!

I wanted to get back to you too. There's an article in OMMA magazine that talks about the relevancy of repeat content. They say that for now, Google isn't really able to punish you for it ... but, they're working on it. Article is titled Double Double Content Trouble and it's in the Aug 06 issue.

Hope that helps!

That's basically it Linda. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to set up each new domain with some optimization.

1. Change your DNS from your registrar to WhyPark's DNS
2. Search for good Keywords using http://goodkeywords.com/ or www.keywordelite.com (what I use) and load them up. You can add 20.
3. Setup an adsense channel for each domain to keep track of stats
4. Submit your site to Google Sitemaps and verify the site
5. Set up a blogger account with one outgoing link to your new domain. Make a post with a relevant article you have or found. If it's a very popular niche set up a few blogger accounts.
6. Outsource article content. Order articles in groups of 10 (1 per domain) and submit them to ezinearticles.com (in the process of doing this). Repeat.
7. If any of these sites start pulling decent traffic I'll order a text link ad.

I'll probably think of a few more ways to drive some targeted traffic. I'll be happy if within 1-2 months these sites pull $2 per day via Adsense. With an agressive article marketing campaign I'm sure these sites could pull $10-$15 per day but with 100 domains that would take quite some time.

Hey Bobbie thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I'm gonna go check that out.
