Ok, here's the thing: I wanted to basically use this network of dating sites (117 sites) to boost one or two important projects in the SERPs and, aside from that, I wanted to also make some monies by monetizing each website via 3 dating offers (SinglesNet, Naughty or Nice and Spicy or Sweet).
Here's what I did last year:
1) I regged 117 exact match domains with a twist: on the one hand, they're exact match domains which describe a term with fairly low search volume (for example "personals Phoenix", the complete list can be found below) and on the other hand, the kw2 + kw1 term (for example "Phoenix personals") has considerably more search volume. PersonalsPhoenix.com is one of the domains I own, the complete list can be found at the end of this post.
Ranking for the kw1 + kw2 term (for example "personals Phoenix") will be a piece of cake because:
* you own the exact match dot com domain
* the term is not all that competitive
If you manage to rank for that term, you'll be able to easily make enough to cover the registration fees of like 8-10 domains. Now ranking for the kw2 + kw1 term (for example "Phoenix personals") will be a bit harder because:
* you don't own the exact match dot com (in other words, you don't own PhoenixPersonals.com) but you own the next best thing (PersonalsPhoenix.com)
* the term is more competitive than the kw1 + kw2 one
2) I contacted a friend of mine (Xdreamer, his designs kick MAJOR ass btw ) and asked him to design a review-style lander for me. Since I wanted to use that template for all sites, I came up with a different/original (I never came across similar landers but am pretty sure that other people are doing this - it's not like I invented teh Interwebz but still...) approach in order to avoid duplicate content penalties:
The lander itself is made of 4 images (no text whatsoever, just 4 images: the logo and 3 images, one for each dating site I wanted to push), that's it
The articles will appear below the 4 images (after all, I wanted visitors to see the lander and search engines to "see" the text part of each site), here's an example:
PersonalsPhoenix.com
Oh and one more thing, he also designed a custom WP theme for me based on that template. Here's an example:
PersonalsPhoenix.com/Blog
3) I started working on some articles. Each article has the follwing format:
* title
* meta description
* copy (400+ words)
I have 52 articles atm and as far as the other 65 are concerned, you can either write 'em yourself or hire me to do it for ya
Alright, here's what you're gonna receive:
* 117 keyword-rich exact match dot com domains
* a custom WP theme as well as the static HTML version
* the psd files, you'll be able to modify the logo (in other words, you'll be able to replace the "DatingMeetups.com" text with something else, visit PersonalsPhoenix.com and you'll see what I mean) and the 3 images within seconds
* 52 keyword-rich articles
How much for the domains + articles + template/wp theme? Well, less than regfee/domain and $5/article. I'm selling everything as a package.
Starting bid: $845 ($585 for the domains and $260 for the articles)
Increments: $25
The auction will end 48 hours after the final bid has been placed. In other words, the auction will end in exactly 48 hours if you place a bid now and if nobody else wants a piece of the action. Oh and btw, all of the domains are regged at name.com and expire in 2010.
