Blue Hat Technique #21 - Advanced Mininet Building
I promised awhile back that I’d teach you ugly bitches more ways to build your sexy SEO Empire. With some spare time this week I might as well take some time to help your nasty hooker ass do just that. YES I will insult you through this entire post because judging from the recent comments you donkey fuckers are getting a lil too big for your own britches and need to be brought down a peg. I’m kidding of course. You guys are great. I just feel like filling this post full of as many reasons not to read it as possible and since no one gave me an excuse to do it, I just made one up.
This post will be advanced and since this technique’s ability to be bulletproof feeds off creativity and the subtleties of being selfmade I’ll also only give out pseudo code instead of code samples. It is however an extremely efficient way to build large amounts of unique and self-promoting sites and is more than reusable for just about any chunk of niches so modularize your code and save it for future scaling. Trust me you’ll wish you did.
Getting Started With Your Custom Mininet Generator
It’s always easiest to start a project with an example in mind so begin by picking a generalized niche that can involve a lot of different sites along the same theme. For this example I’ll use music based fan sites. So I’ll grab a few starter domains to test with such as AudioslaveFanzSite.com MetallicaFanzSite.com KanyeWestFanzSite.com and maybe one more for good measure, JonasBrothersFanzSite.com. <- See how I was all insulting and mean at the beginning of this post and suddenly changed it around to being all considerate and using faggy bands as examples so you fags can relate to what I’m saying here. I’m not mean all the time and can in fact be quite understanding. *grin* Anyways! Now that you got your domains setup an account under a single domain on your server and add the rest as addon domains. In your site’s root make a Sources folder and another to hold a data dump. After that setup a MYSQL database to be used by all sites and put a row in a table for a single domain you bought (the rest will be inserted automatically later). I recommend you put the actual domain in some value in that row.
Build a Single Universal Template
This is easier than it sounds. You can always go 100% custom but to save time I like grabbing a generic looking premade template. I then put it into a script and disect the html to put in as many variables as I can fit. A few examples would be <title>$sitetitle - $pagetitle</title> <h1>$heading1</h1> <body bgcolor=”$bgcolor”> <img src=”/data/$domain/images/$mainimage”> <div>$maincontent</div> which I will later fill with the actual content and variable values. Pack the template full of as many customizations as you can so it will not only be flexible and universal among all topics in the niche but the html itself is very random and as uncookie cutter like as you can get it. Torwards the end of the process I also tend to throw in a bunch of $randspacing type variables as possible. Then i use a randomizing function to create various spacing and line returns and randomly insert it throughout just about every group of html tags. I mention this now instead of later in the post because its important to realize that you will want this template to be as flexable as possible because you’ll eventually be using that same template on a TON of sites that may or may not be doing some interlinking so you don’t want it to appear as a network. Changing colors, widths, and images around are a great way to accomplish this just don’t get too complicated with it starting out. Keep it very basic and once you got the mininet nearly done you can add as many as you’d like later. Sometimes it’s typical to throw yourself off focus and doom the project by getting too hung up on getting the same thing perfect. For each variable you place in the template you’ll want to put the same as a field in the SQL table you created previously.
Putting Together Some Content Sources
For an example such as the music fan sites mininet I’d probably jot down a few sources of content such as Audioscrobbler for the band descriptions, primary image, and discography. Then Youtube API for a few music videos for each musician. Another great source would be Yahoo Images for some band related wallpapers and Alexa for some related sites to link to. I might even grab the Google Blogsearch rss for some recent blog posts related to that artist. Starting out it’s usually best to keep your sources as simplistic as possible and not stray too far from readily available RSS and APIs. Like I said you can always get more advanced and custom later. Create a module script for each source and put it in your previously created Sources folder. Then for each source you came up with add it as a table in your SQL and put in all the fields you’ll need for each one and remember to save room to identify the domain on each one.
Building The Generator
Create a backend script that will simply be a place to copy and paste a list of the domains and their primary keywords into with a button to submit it. My domains and keywords for this example would most likely be pipe delimited such as:
GodsmackFanzSite.com|God Smack
U2FanzSite.com|U2
BeyonceFanzSite.com|Beyonce Knowles
Once the list is submitted the generator needs to insert a new row into the table and create all the randomized variables for the site such as the background colors , various spacings (and/or a brand new template file stored in the data folder) putting them in the same single row. Once the basics are done it can call all the source modules and run them using the domain name and the keywords they need to grab the right content. They will then need to put that content into the database under the proper domain’s row(s). You now have all the content you need for each site and each got its own template! Now it’s time to just build the son of a bitch.
BUT! Before I show you how I’ll give you a few examples of how I would setup my tables for each of the sources so you can get a better idea.
For my Youtube I’d probably keep it simple and just do the domain and the embed code.
Domain|EmbedCode
Audioscrobbler:
Domain|BandDescription|Albums|PrimaryImage
YahooImages
Domain|PathToImage
GoogleBlogSearch
ID|Domain|PostTitle|PostDescription|PostLink
Alexa
Domain|RelatedSite1|MySite1|RelatedSite2|MySite2|RelatedSite3|MySite3|MoneySite1
*the MySite1 would be another random fan site in your list of domains. The MoneySite1 would be a money site of yours you can insert later to help with upward linking
These are foundation sites after all.
So simple even a retarded piss bucket like yourself can figure it out
Scripting The Sites
I know some of you are going to talk about dedicated IPs for each site and various other expensive ways to make sure the sites don’t get associated with each other but there was a good reason I said to use addon domains although there are other more complicated and better solutions. The first thing you should do when scripting the index page is to grab the current domain using an environmental variable such as HTTP_HOST. Once you have the domain name you can use that to grab all the appropriate data for each domain name and you only have to code one site and get it to work for ALL the sites in the mininet. For instance if someone goes to JayZFanzSite.com it’ll grab that into the variable and customize the entire site to be a Jay-Z fan site even though its all the same script controlling all the addon domains. I always start with the main page and branch all my subpages off that. For instance for the Jayzfanzsite.com I would put in a section for Jay-Z Music Videos and link to More Jay-Z Music Videos(the Jay-Z being that domains primary keyword as specified in the DB). That Jay-Z Music Videos subpage would just be more previously scraped music videos from youtube. The same would be done for the Jay-Z Wallpapers, Jay-Z Discography, Jay-Z Lyrics, Jay-Z Guitar Tabs..Whatever sources I’m using. Each would be a small section on the main page and would expand into their own subpage which would target popular keywords for that artist. Once all that is done and built into the template you can test each change among all the current test domains you have to make sure each shows up nicely and the randomizations and backgrounds all are static and neat for each site. Be sure to put in a place for your Alexa similar sites and as shown above mix in links to your other fan sites for each band/musician as well as some placements for your current and future money sites so they can all get good link volume. Once every test site looks pretty and is fully functional along with fairly unique content all you have to do is scale up with more domains.
BUT FIRST! I like to incorporate ways for each site to self build links. Such as for the Google Blogsearch posts I’d put a section on the main page for Jay-Z News listing the most recent 25 blog post results or so. Then I would build a small cronjob script to update it every day with 25 new posts or so and do a pingback on each to score a few unique links from other related sites every day automatically. This way you not only have lateral links from other sites on the mininet but links from other sites and the links are always growing slowly so each site can continue to grow in rank and traffic over time.
Buying More Domains and Scaling Up
As indicated I like to keep it simple and pick a prefix or suffix that has many open domains that way I don’t have to spend a ton of time picking out the domains I can just grab a list of several thousand popular bands and mass buy the domains then copy and paste them into the backend generator. Boom! Several hundred to, if you’re bold enough, thousands of new sites. All of which will grab quite a bit of underexposed traffic from keywords, image search and links. It will also give you tons of links and awesome pagerank for future sites you build. It’s a lot of work initially but it’s definitely easier then hand building all those sites yourself and the sites can easily become just as successful as if you did, especially if you did a good job with your sources. Once you’ve scaled up that mininet to a level you’re comfortable with and can maintain financially (it helps to build in a montenization module to the site so you can easily switch out ads among all the sites so they can create the most money possible per site) you can switch to a new group of sites using the same code, many of the same sources, and same method. The music fan site example is great because nearly the exact same code can be used in so many ways. For instance I can take the same damn code, get rid of the audioscrobbler and swap it for a widely available car DB for the description, image and car specs, and build a whole mininet for every single make and model car out there with a whole new set of domains such as JaguarXJ220specs.com, BMW540specs.com, PontaicGrandPrixspecs.com. It’s as easy as swapping out the keywords used in the modules so they become Pontiac Grand Prix Videos (from youtube source) and Pontiac Grand Prix Wallpapers/Images. All you need is a new template and a new group of domains to build an absolutely massive and diverse mininet that is actually profitable and self growing.
PS. I know I said HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of sites all dramatically, but as with all techniques start off small. Get your scripts and promotion right. Make sure it works and is profitable on a per site basis before scaling up to any ridiculous levels.
LATA JERKS!
great post as usual Eli.. thanks
.. you just gave me a few more ideas to play with
Well, a interesting article.. I am glad I am not offended by profanity. Anyways. I have never heard of some of these tricks such as scripting sites. I am going to have to play around with these. Thanks for the ideas for a good brainstorming session.
Too bad this will never work, Google will be able to trace the DNS records to one server.
doesn’t matter all the sites are unique. You are allowed to have more then one site on a single server. If you are concerned about it though there are ways to keep it all unique ip and dns through the httpd config, but with how many sites you’ll be building it’s not a very economical plan considering you’ll strive to get each of these sites to make as much money as possible and that means lowering the cost per site. Judging from your past comments i know you’re just trolling, but just because a site is generated automatically doesn’t make it a spam site. These sites can actually be useful and have just as much content as any other site in their topic.
But links between sites hosted on the same IP will have a very low value. Also, just ripping content from other websites will get you duplicate content penalties. Did you actually create a network like this or is it all just theory?
Two sites sharing an ip does not mean the link between the two has a very low value. I’m not sure where you got that information. As for duplicate content penalties, I can’t say it any better than the google blog put it although I have been saying the same thing long before they thankfully did.
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/demystifying-duplicate-content-penalty.html
Yes mininets work very well in nearly every aspect, especially for upward linking and creating link volume between the two and I have been building them in this exact way for many years and it is yet to fail me. In fact if there’s any doubt, the squirt private directories that every submitted site goes into is built with this exact framework and technique and they are public to all squirt members. The myths of building multiple sites along the same niche is a fear every pro seo eventually has to get over.
Ontopic, do you even understand the concept of ‘duplicate content’?
I run a major amount of ‘duplicate content’ sites (aka cycle sites) and they easily outrank the initial publisher of that content.
In fact I get daily DMCA takedown notices and/or ‘contact us’ submissions asking to take down content.
The entire internet is built on ‘duplicate content’ — Look at Digg / Slashdot / Propeller / etc.
Google will never penalize a site that is helpful to the searcher. Keep the searcher in mind and google will very much reward you.
That being said, i’m gonna figure out how to pull this concept off using Wordpress…
that is intelligence, thanks
Eli, you bitch, welcome back!
Wicked post - I remember doing something incredibly similiar to this a while back and it performed quite well, but unfortunately I lost interest. This post is going to inspire me to relook at the code
Holy Shit!!! I thought you had died! 2 months since last post. Well, hope you were either productive or on a sunny beach somewherez. In any case, keep the posts coming. It’s motivational.
-=JFK=-
Don’t talk shit on Jonas. But in seriousness, nice post. I have something similar but all of the sites have their own db. I could have saved sometime. I still may give this a try with a different revenue source to see what I can do with it. Keep posting stupid shit so the wheels in my head will start spinning.
as always, good stuff eli.
I think it’s possible to dominate the world with some simple databases and dynamically created sites.
it amazes me that these opportunities still exist.
post more often!
Eli, high five! Blackhat 101, but some things are useful even for me. Thanks for not leaving your fans hanging for just too long! =)
I don’t get it.
Why not get it?
Nope, didn’t like the post! You wrote things having more sense like your last SEO Empire post!
Und alle so: Yeah!!!
Wow!!! Even though I never have the coding skills to implement any of your ideas, I still always get an mental buzz just thinking about how powerful your techniques are. Thanks
Good stuff, but are you spending $8/yr on each domain? Can you get bulk domain registration discounts? Also, does the cheesy .info hurt your site at all? Thanks.
Name.com sells .com and .net domains for $5.99 on Fridays, I’ve heard. You can also get near reseller prices at Dynadot.com for depositing $500 into your account - and get API access on top of it.
I have a few there, all of the nessecary functions for domain buyers
Actually I read this test a while back that proved .info, .me and all those other ‘newer’ tld’s do rank lower than .com and .net
I am by no means on Eli’s level w/ SEO, but from my research I have found that .info should not “hurt” you in any way. I just think in the grand algorithm of Google… it does not hold as much weight as a .com. Similar to how a .edu weights a little more than .com or .net. Just my 2 cents.
Hope that helps. Sure is a cheap way to go.
-=JFK=-
Thanks for the idea about using addon domains. I’ve been tackling a similar idea but using separate accounts for each site. Setting up the accounts has been driving me nuts and slowing down my progress.
I love it when you verbally abuse me.
Why you love it ??
Hey Eli,
Good post and its totally possible to scale this bitch as high as you like.
Its also worth mentioning that you can actually use the same code base for all of the sites and just point each domain to the same root on your server. This means only 1 code base and only one place to make any changes or fixes.
On top of that I build all of my stuff using layout files. With that its possible to create custom layouts for different sites and then pull each layout depending on which site you’re on. Takes some more time but makes everything unique.
Thanks for the post, cool stuff
Berko : do you use wordpress or a custom script?
Custom! Anything I ever do is custom built mostly because I just enjoy coding
Nice to see you back again Eli, though you had left us forever.
Berko: could you show me an example of what a programmer like you can achieve? (U can send me an email)
“If you are concerned about it though there are ways to keep it all unique ip and dns through the httpd config, but with how many sites you’ll be building it’s not a very economical plan considering you’ll strive to get each of these sites to make as much money as possible and that means lowering the cost per site.”
There are (relatively) cheap ways to do this without having your entire ‘net trace back to the same physical location. Hive off individual sites to cheap hosts, proxy requests to them to your (highly specced) core server. Costs more but harder to burn.
That could scale up nice to multiple ‘nets running across many cheap accounts, I think, though I haven’t got that far myself.
Exactly what I was thinking. read more about how to set it up here: http://www.evilgreenmonkey.com/blog/micro-site-seo-hosting.html
Although it’s about wordpress it can be done without wordpress easily.
Get a number of free and/or cheap hosting accounts and randomize the domains to these
hmmm it is going out of mind sorry….
hey, this mininet empire building is just wonderful. thanks for the really helpful articles , buddy.
Eli,
I like the post and your entire site. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. One thing confuses me about this particular tactic. Where are you getting the content from? You mentioned Audioscrobbler and Youtube API but I am not focusing on a music niche. The “widely available car db” sounds more like something I could use. Can you say where you would get something like this from? Also is there any reason why I should use customized pages instead of a CMS like Wordpress to generate these kinds of sites?
Hi Eli
Really good and informational blog you have. Please write about new seo techniques so that we all get the benefit.
Thanks for giving a hint at one of yours m-net building techniques Eli, but I want to know more about the way you interlink your sites, not how you build them
I’m sure you don’t link all m-net sites to one of your affiliate or foundation website. Probably you leverage m-net power and create well known structures to make the most from your effort, don’t you? Give us more tips on it.
What are your next steps? Do you QUIT, ping, pligg, bookmark, submit articles, i.e. spam m-net sites? Do you interlink mininets?
Hope you’ll answer
Good questions Alex,
This post is a piece of the pie from seo empire
http://www.bluehatseo.com/seo-empire-part-1/
Read that post it answers all those questions fairly in depth.
Eli, as usually, very inspiring technique post. What about sharing something from your personal business life? What were you doing the last months? Keep posting more often. Thank you. Peace
Stumbled across your site looking for SEO tips and I have to say the tips in this site are very helpful and have worked wonders for me
Eli
Great post (but you knew that anyway)
A few questions, if I may?
1. Why dont you choose to have subdomains on the main site saving money? I.e. Jayz.mysuperfansite.com and therasmus.mysuperfansite.com ?
2. Interlinking - After reading your SEO empire post, can we assume that interlinking between a set of mini sites is ok, but not outside of this (except to money sites etc)
3. Do you “release” the entire mininet at once, or do them staggered… half of me wonders if releasing 5+ sites all at once that interlink (see #2) would throw up flags?
4. Do sites built solely on pingback links actually rank? Or are we hoping for some sort of editorial links months into the future.
5. Assuming we have link laundering sites already set up, when do you recommend pointing some links at our sites (if at all?)
Cheers you sekzy man!!
Damn dude you are a fucking pimp. i suck bawls.
fuck.
I’m so confused. After I read this a third time, I hope I’m a little less confused. Thanks for the brain cramp.
Eli,
I was going to say wouldn’t the Search Engines see this as duplicate content and how would you promote this but you covered that: “BUT FIRST! I like to incorporate ways for each site to self build links. Such as for the Google Blogsearch posts I’d put a section on the main page for Jay-Z News listing the most recent 25 blog post results or so. Then I would build a small cronjob script to update it every day with 25 new posts”
So it sounds like if you bulk up more content with your scripting method and use all the aggregrated data (25 new posts in this case) than you may be able to boost up in the rankings above some fan sites that are run by a little teeny bopper in their parents basement (jonas brothers) and make money selling basic ad words or through affiliate programs? Did I get this right, I’m not the most technical programming kind of guy.
A very above-board example of this would be all the gas buddy sites like:
http://www.sanfrangasprices.com
I see alot of those mini networks. In some niches there is a single person dominating a whole keyword phrase on google for like 5 pages of the top search results.
As usual, superb post Eli. Well, it took some time to read through the entire post but it was worth the time spent. Thanks for the valuable information.
Hey, good idea, but does it really work? Any examples?
this is the first time i heard about bluehat seo by the way nice tactics
As usual, superb post Eli. Well, it took some time to read through the entire post but it was worth the time spent. Thanks for the valuable information.
I have never heard about it!
thanx for everything eli,
you are my inspiration. Because of you i have started learning php and mysql.
can this be done on subdomains instead of addons?
thanks for the best info on the net
josh
Where are you getting the content from? thank you.
Agreed on taking it slow. Man.. this is a great post. Glad I found it.
Eli , where does this idea come from to you ?? You are fantastic. I like your every single Idea. Congrats!!
hypotheekrente http://www.laagstehypotheekrentes.com
Yo eli,
Nice post as usual. Though there is one thing that I can’t seem to get. You talked about using track backs to get a few unique links for the websites however the trackbacks are nofollow. Please let me know that what’s your take on the nofollow thing. I’ll be waiting on your reply.
This wont work with Goole they will trace the DNS records to one server
For everyone stuck on “DNS Records”…
The next time your in your domain settings @ godaddy or wherever..
Change the host summary settings.
Instead of pointing your domain at
ns1.serverblah.com 76.73.12.12 (Or whatever)
ns2.serverblah.com 76.73.12.12
point it at
ns1.mydomainname.com 76.73.12.12
ns2.mydomainname.com 76.73.12.12
And if your doing this on large scale, grab a few hundread ips (its cheap).
Then you can have each of your domains on its own ip, with its own dns records, all on the same server.
Gosh not too difficult.
Interesting concept.
I’m keen on picking up more information on some advanced seo techniques but I think there is a danger that anything too successful soon gets spotted by Google and becomes less effective as a result.
It’s like playing a never-ending game where the rules are constantly changing.
I like Hat Technique,hope that we progress togetherBlue .
Blue Hat Technique in the use of the same time, I think the quality of the site must be high, is also critical.
I did something like this with carparts. I bought about 80 domain names one for every brand and had 1 setup which pulled the right data from a database. Got a big list of car parts and for each brand and the model names and mixed that to have for each domain the right pages. Like for instance audi a4 hood etc.
But I see I missed some keyparts as I never could get it realy of the ground and getting rankings were hard but that mixing content from other sources and then pinging them to get a link back is a great tip as well as that alexa part.
I need to start building on my seo empire again and you gave me again some great things to consider.
Thanks,
Edwin
This site is so cool! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, it is much appreciated
Hey,
Cool article, Eli!
But how many of these sites have you actually created?
- Will
OH wow..this is complicated stuff, I have to read it again to understand it fully. You should teach at a university or something, I have a hard time unstanding my professors, too.
Err, anyway, is this like a linkwheel?
“there is a danger that anything too successful soon gets spotted by Google and becomes less effective as a result”
That just depends on whether you make it public or not actually =)
My goodness, I was brought up by the nuns in a convent, so my ears are burning after reading this blog.
On the other hand, you seem like a wise individual, except, of course, for the “donkey (red face here).
You have taken your valuable time and have shared material that will be a blessing to many.
So for that, I wish to thank you very much.
Beth
Thanks. Your posts are always great.
WOW — This such an interesting post. I have to say it is also very humorous. I thought it was going to be offensive but not at all! You’ve given me some really great information to move on with in my search marketing local project. Thanks! I’m definitely adding this to my box of resources!!
Jeez, I feel so insulated. Jokes
.
Great idea though, there are a few tips in there that can save people a good amount of time in building their empire.
Ahaha whoops, I said “I feel so insulated” instead of “I feel so insulted”.
Just goes to show that you should proofread everything before you publish it.
Thanks for the cool google tactics!
I was thinking about this technique but I am always lazy to implement it.
comment kahona is good for creating backlink.
Hey Eli, I haven’t seen you in forever. I’ve been working hard with my new business :
Montreal Computer Repair. Hope to get it off the ground now that I have time.
Eli, Great post. You have outlined a few more techniques for me to work with.
Thanks for the good advice, hopefully i can put them in practice now !!!!!!
Damn mofo, thats a great frikkin idea. I’m trying this out pronto.
I could see this saving me a crapload of time when I do rep management for clients gettin screwed by RoR or something like that as well.
Its time to make some videos and pimp em out Eli. Thanks for the bad ass tips brother.
Another great post - cheers
Is there some example of this script?
Thanks for this post, I am still very much on the fence with the duplicate content thing. Some people say it doesn’t matter as long as the content is useful, but I have made a number of DC sites, that don’t make zilch, yet a similar sized site with unique content will start getting visitors and making money in a short time.
Hi do you know about Mini - net?? I would like to share about it little bit here. Mini-net is just a buzz word coined by SEO guru Michael Campbell (who wrote a book called The Revenge of the Mininet) that means dynamic linking. Dynamic linking is a skill that is used by affiliate marketers to improve their search engine optimization and often cuts the actual time they spend at the computer by fifty percent.
I afraid that Google will be able to trace the DNS records to one server.
Is this possible?
It may be possible so watch out!
I was a bit shocked with the beginning but got the humor later!! Great post and thanks for the tips. Hoping to hear more from you soon.
Thank you.Nice reading.
I like your blog and offered information.
thanks gooood

This is amazing– would you be able to release earnings reports? I don’t want to go through all this trouble (albeit maybe quite little trouble considering the amount of work you are doing) if it isn’t going to be profitable in the end.
You are kind of a genius, by the way.
OH that is great idea to move on
Hi, nice posts there
Very interesting, I think, but does it really work?
Perfect article,I like it.
Hi there. I know the scrunching you are referring too. And I haven’t had that problem since the first time I tried it.
Im into trying these sort of techniques, anything helps
first off, wow, great site, I have been reading through everything and I am already learning. I had a question about the ‘no-follow’ in comments, I have tried to get all my comments to be ‘do-follow’ using the wordpress pulgin- do-follow- but it seems my comments are still getting the no-follow tag, what plug in are you using, and what plugin do you use for the ’signature’ you have at the bottom of the single posts? thanks for sharing! (I plan on writing up a post linking back to you this evening sometime, thanks again!)
useful info thx
will work thanks..
This is the most interesting post on advanced SEO techniques that I have come across. I will be returning to your site and implementing the techniques described.
Wow that is great idea man, good job!!!
Good ideas. I’m really starting to put together some plans for supertargeting niches and just blasting the hell out of them by setting up sites for everything about them. Good info for that.
Thanks. I think, I will share this tip on my blog. Wait a trackback from me
interesting article - do you have a list of sites that are a result of this tactic?
I could have saved sometime. I still may give this a try with a different revenue source to see what I can do with it. Keep posting stupid shit so the wheels in my head will start spinning.

Won’t Google figure this out sooner or later ?
You are fantastic. I like your every single Idea
Nice post. I love it!
I’d say this is more greyhat than black hat. But awesome job nonetheless
this SEO Empire is really great than to others.i got some techniques,becauce of this.this is great and interesting.thanks for sharing of this view.
Thanks for the tips! Great article!
This is a news that not so many people be aware of that.You have given such an important information that every user must know.Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.
play games on my web site.
“But links between sites hosted on the same IP will have a very low value. Also, just ripping content from other websites will get you duplicate content penalties”
The above is very true, they need to be on different hosts and different IPs, also with dup content you have 12% which can be the same.
Man, I love you! Before today I could only dream of finding cool code and a jonas brothers slam in the same paragraph. Much less being called a retarded piss bucket.
I’m hooked
Duplicate content penalties can be a nightmare. A work associate had that happen and it took months to recover.
I will read more into this when I have time, But it sounds like it could be worthwhile(About Sexy SEO Empire)
Anyway, I think its great that you allow do-follow links on your blog too, So thanks for that!
Yea not many bloggers do, its a great reward for us commentators.
About duplicate content. Read googles definition of duplicate content, but they are vague and inconsistent at best. An associate got dinged for duplicate content when posting articles (copied from his website pages) on ezinearticles. But didn’t get dinged on another of his websites when doing the same thing.
The duplicate contents can lower ranking for your sites. You should have good and unique contents!
It’s always easiest to start a project with an example in mind so begin by picking a generalized niche that can involve a lot of different sites along the same theme. For this example I’ll use music based fan sites.
tnx
nice to see you again
I really like you think everybody informational blogs, this type of information will have everyone even if they have opened. I would firstly like to congratulate the blog owner. We have completed our own issues with the missing. Thank you very much
Great idea to the points. Thanks for sharing!
You wrote, “I know I said HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of sites all dramatically, but as with all techniques start off small.” Best advice I’ve ever heard, I’m able to multi-task doing a little at a time and seeing results, better than wasting a lot of time on low payoff activities.
Great Article! Thank you for the information on your “sexy empire”.
Great post jerk features
Although this post is a wee dated its given me some great ideas for website generation
Cheers
nice post. I still may give this a try with a different revenue source to see what I can do with it. Keep posting stupid shit so the wheels in my head will start spinning. thanks
Very intresting. I learned a lot new things
Nice stuff. I’ve been reading all your posts here and I must say their very helpful to me. I hope you can get back and continue posting with your reviews and facts about SEO. It would be a big help for me. Thank you.
mmm, i don’t quite agree with some of the point here. But I do appreciate your insight.
Had to read your post 3 times and take notes as I went along but it eventually twigged.I will give it a whirl and let you know the results.
too….much….information… *puh* Gotta go over the whole thing and take notes..
The swearing is awesome. Well and I read through like a half of all the above and bookmarked. Will have to get back to it later. Thank you though. I feel like this is really helpful
And so the “duplicate content” debate continues - there´s so many differing views I no longer know what´s what. Some people get penalized for it and some get higher ranking - go figure.
All said, there´s some insightful info that I couldn´t get elsewhere - cheers

when buying domains for a mininet, it is worth the extra expense for domain privacy services? As I see it, if all of these domains are on the same server with the same IP, it would be best to stagger the registration dates and use the privacy service of really big registrar like GoDaddy or namecheap.
However, on some SEO-related blogs & forums I’ve seen some people say that the big G will penalize domains with using privacy services.
For those of you who are actively running mininets what is your experience? Is there any benefit penalty to those privacy services?
Thanks for a very comprehensive take on this. Blessings:)
Will have to get back to it later. Thank you though. I feel like this is really helpful
A few questions for Eli or anyone who has this kind of mininet up and running:
If you’ve got up to 100 sites (domains) or more on the same server with the same IP, is it worth the time and effort to spread the domain registrations over a few registrars?
Are domain privacy services worth the extra cost (usually $1 or $2 per year)?
Are there any registrars that are know as being the favorites of domainers or spammy domains (those offering really cheap and bulk registration) and therefore good to avoid?
My hunch is that it would be best to 1) stick the very large registrars, 2) pay the extra fee for domain privacy, 3) and stagger the registration dates as much as possible (not register more that one domain in single day). Is this worth doing? are there any SEO benefits or penalties we should worry about?
Yeah, now I really understand how little I know about the whole SEO thing. But at least I wasn’t one of the people getting too big for their britches.
If you are concerned about it though there are ways to keep it all unique ip and dns through the httpd config, but with how many sites you’ll be building it’s not a very economical plan considering you’ll strive to get each of these sites to make as much money as possible and that means lowering the cost per site. Judging from your past comments i know you’re just trolling, but just because a site is generated automatically doesn’t make it a spam site.
SEO is a tough nut to crack but you can always try coz millions are.
Oh and retweeted!
Sometimes I find it odd how companies could manage to spend millions for SEOs or for online marketing. I realized, they’re also generating millions out of that investment.

Your blog is really interesting… and very informative… thank you for such article…
Thank you for good knowledge.
Thanks for a cool post. Very informative.
Wouldn’t one have to SEO all the sites to really gain something.
I guess by faggy bands you mean truly awesome musical talents.
Great article, I like your style. There is nothing like a little uncalled for abuse at the beginning of a post to get people interested!!
Just wanted to say it seems that you have stopped updating this blog. It’s been a very good source of useful information for me and I hope this is a temporary hiatus
On the post, I have read it twice and still do not get it. Some of us are not savvy at these things and I am quickly realizing that I am one of those people
Cup of coffee and I’ll look at it again
Thanks
Quite useful, thank you.
it does not hold as much weight as a .com. Similar to how a .edu weights a little more than .com or .net. Just my 2 cents. Hope that helps. Sure is a cheap way to go.
Cup of coffee and I’ll look at it again
Thanks
Thank you for good knowledge

This is very good think, we can get knowledge. thank you for your share.
nice post…some useful tips here for all SEO levels
The more I read about SEO, the less I understand! It must be one of the most conflicted areas I have ever come across. A classic example is link building, having read loads of articles saying directories are a waste of time and it’s all about content you then find a raft and really well ranked sites whose content is average at best and just have a huge number of low quality links!
As a newbie to SEO most of this is lost on me. Having said that though it flies in the face of nearly everything else I’ve read and that in itself makes it a great post!
Great article, I’m working my way through the others too. They all need more than one read to take it all in!
Anybody else got examples of this working that they’d be willing to share?
Your article is written in a impressive manner. I really liked it.
Nice post both when sites are sharing same IP, it does not mean the link between them has a very low value what is just important is mixing up the link, not only getting link from same source
I need to ask a little noob question. Is this the same as building a blog farm?
very good tnks
Eli,
You come up with some of the most creative ideas, you @**@$. Just giving a little insult back
It looks like the largest expense in this would be the domains. But, if you started out small, as you recommend, you could buy around 10 domains and create that mininet and get it promoted so that it is getting traffic and is profitable. Then take any profits and build x more domains, etc., etc.
Eventually you could have a huge network of sites.
One thing that has really helped me, is just getting one good PR site aged. Now when I need to get a new site indexed, I just use that one PR site to get Google to index it. If you had several of those sites, I don’t see how you could fail.

Thanks for the very helpful information!
Usefull info.. Thx Eli…
You are allowed to have more then one server on a website. If you care about it, or have the means to maintain it through all of the httpd configuration only IP and DNS, but how many sites you will be building this is not a very economic plan, taking into account you will try to make these sites as per Shi much money, which means lower costs for each site. I know from your past comments to see you just drag, just because a site does not automatically make the spam site. These sites can actually be beneficial, have the same amount of content, the subject of any other site.
Big ideias, nice site.. congrats

Boy do I wish I had read this 3 weeks ago, I am in the process of hand generating 6 similar sites at the moment and if I had wandered through here beforehand I might have saved myself a ton of trouble in the long run. Sigh. Thank you very much for the breakdown I am sure it is going to help me going forward.
Super but expensive way to get this mininet
I can see that you are an expert at your field
Costs can run up very quickly using this approach. We did much the same where I used to work and it can be useful for SEO. But like I say it is expensive and depends how quickly you get your ROI.
I know coding a little so that I can understand your pseudocode a little bit
