Monitor Your Sites

Wow.  There is nothing quite like a crisis to make you realize you should have been doing something all along.  In my case, I now realize I should have some way to monitor my sites and make sure they are not down.  I have close to 100 sites and if one (or more) goes down, I probably would not have a clue unless someone contacted me about it. ...

Advantages of Combining BANS and Blogging

For several weeks I’ve been saying how I’m going to write about how to add blogging to niche stores.  Well, consider this my first official post about it.  Before I go into how to add blogging to your sites I thought it would be a good idea to start off with why it’s a good idea.

Why I No Longer Use Subdomains

When I first got started with Build A Niche Stores (BANS) I created several stores that were done using subdomains. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, a subdomain is when a new URL is created using a primary URL. For example, let’s say the main your URL is www.MyDomain.com and you want to create a site called Site One....

Using Copyrighted Words, Terms, or Phrases in URLs

We’ve all seen them.  Sites that have keywords or phrases in their URLs but are not owned by the companies that copyrighted the phrases.  This may tempt you to do this yourself.  Perhaps you want to start a niche store that focuses on products from a single company and found the perfect URL that includes one or more copyrighted terms. ...

How I Arrived at My Stats for my Testing of 30 Minute Backlinks

[2009-03-28 The three sites I created for this test were thin affiliate sites.  I did a very poor job of creating the sites and have not done what needs to be done to make them good sites.  As a result, I have not kept the domains, and you will no longer be able to look up these sites in Google.  If you find any results after this update then...
