A few months ago, I spent a whole month studying and reading up on SEO. I learned a lot, especially from having Eli on my MSN so I can instant annoy him. So today someone else has been asking me questions about SEO. He is setting up a mini network to help him rank well for targeted niches, the same thing I have been working on for the last few months.. very slowly. My mini network is very small, only consisting of about 20 very unique sites. But in this blog post, I will go over SEO Mini Networks.. I think thats what there called 
What is a Mini Network?
Its a network of unique websites that help support each other. Either cross linking each other or having the backing of a huge site. The content can either be unique or scrapped, but preferably unique… thats for best results. The point is to have so many of them that you can cross link them enough to get the SERPS weight you want.
Example:
Say I had a mini network consisting of 500 unique content websites. I then had those backed up by 1 or 2 huge sites. By huge I mean at least 100,000 backlinks. Most of the sites rank on first page for their niche, and their niche gets at least 50 searches a day. So lets see, 500 websites with about 50 searches a day.. thats 25,000 searches a day. Lets say about 5,000 people clicked on your sites in the SERPS. Lets say we monetize with Adsense.. now since we are targeting unique niches and not shitty myspace traffic, we will be getting at least .10 per click. Lets say that 2000 people click ads out of the 5000 people visiting your mini network sites a day.. thats $200 a day. Not bad.
I’d have to say that that is example is a decently big network, maybe taking a year to set up.. You will also make way more money with a mini network with 500 websites. If my mini network got 5000 visitors a day, I would shoot for the 500-800$ a day range with aff sales, better paying niches, etc..
What is the point of a mini network?
The point to running a mini network is to cross link the network and little outside influence on your SERPS rankings… but you can never rely 100% on your mini network. You will have to do some wiki spamming, blog spamming, buying links, linkbait, or however you like to get them links.
How to set one up?
I would first focus 100% on setting up your main “huge” support site to help get things off the ground. Spend lots of time and money in getting good backlinks to the site. Then focus on buying .info and setting up a wordpress blog with unique content that focuses on a certain niche. I shoot for niches that get about 50-100 searches a day. Once you have about 20 mini sites, start getting links for them.
Here are some ways to get links… and yes I am a blackhatter…
1. Spam wiki
2. Spam blogs
3. Spam forums
4. linkbait (wordpress themes, making bullshit news story’s, etc)
4. Keyword Realestate (this one is a biggie, trust me)
Now you should start feeling the power…hehe… you should be getting some traffic, maybe 5-10 people a day per site. But this is where you start the real work.. make more sites!
Once you get a good amount of sites, start cross linking them. Just don’t link them all together like I did with Developer Hut, Inc. Just link the kinda same niche ones together. Then start linking sites from your main “huge” sites you have going on. Now Repeat until you are a millionair.. or at least happy with your passive income
I dont make any money from my mini network right now. I have not monetized mine yet. The sites get about 200 unquies a day all together. Which is real shitty for 20 sites. I just havent worked on the backlinks much..im lazy hehe.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What about IP’s? Isn’t google checking linked sites if they are on the same IP and then push them back?
Ip’s arent a big deal to google. But I would get a resellers account and then buy IP’s for all the mini sites…
Yeah I think they are because a lot of blackhatters place only 20sites per IP because google when finds one site cleans up other 19 sites too..
OK, I was waiting you here by IP’s:
How do you place your subdomains under different IP’s because the main domain is always under one IP.. Will then this always go thru main IP and forward to other IP then?
Take care
I’ll awnser your question in MSN
The IP thing is something I worry about, if I’ve got a bunch of sites interlinking all on one IP then how will it effect my back links.
I can’t think Google would put too much weight in it though, My host packs a heap of sites onto a server and even the IP my sites are on is shared, punch it into the browser and I can learn about recruiting nurses…..
So much grey area with SEO, you never know what’s truly right
If ya want some easy backlinks just do a search for “do follow blogs” and youll find blogs using the do follow plugin. Put your keyword as the name, your site as your website, and leave a serious comment relevant to the most (make sure they dont think of it as spam and delete it). Seems to be working for me.
most = post
Getting good keyword domains helps with the SERPS alot. Just look at my site getting 300 uniques a day from google alone.
Blogs using the do follow plugin can set a time period that new comments will remain as no follow before they become followable. Mine is set to 2 days. That’s more than enough time to murder any comments that akismet doesn’t catch. I only need to check once a day.
What about the long run? Your blog posts will still be spidered after 2 days. So why make it nofollow for only 2 days?
Hey this is a very good post. I may use this as a reference soon
So are you a pretty good coder, or did you hire people to do it? I’m a pretty decent marketer but don’t have the time to blow on brushing up on my programming. Any good coder you could recommend? (drop me an email?)
Such a fine line really when it comes to what is black hat these days and what is not.
There seems to be an undercurrent of thinking that interlinking your sites doesn,t do as much damage as many think.
The benefits seem to outweigh any costs?
Mini-nets went out in the Florida update, IMHO. I think you’re better off with a huge site. Look at WikiPedia
Even though I sometimes ponder about blackhat SEO optimization methods, your methods sure seem interesting. I found this website after Googling for “ww2 blog”, which is one of your “dummy sites”, so I guess it works well!
By providing link to my website http://ww2db.com with this comment, I suppose I’m following the advice “spam blogs”?
I love BH SEO
Make money quick and easy.
Nice blog post. This is exactly what I have been working on for the past 2 years. I took the get rich slow approach and now making over $100 a day with my network.
I had so much trouble finding people to link to me (I am completely white hat), I said forget it and created my own network.
This was funny reading this post as it feels like you read my mind! Keep up the good work. Love your blog.

I love it, not bad man! Keep up the nice work homie!
So do you mean blogs as far as the websites go? Do you have to buy the domain and hosting and everything? It sounds pretty expensive.
