Comments on: Mini Sites – revisited http://selfmademinds.com/200705/mini-sites-revisited/ Sharing lessons learned in business and online marketing Sun, 13 Nov 2011 20:21:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Rich http://selfmademinds.com/200705/mini-sites-revisited/comment-page-1/#comment-10465 Rich Wed, 22 Oct 2008 08:53:14 +0000 http://selfmademinds.com/200705/mini-sites-revisited/#comment-10465 Cheers Scott. Yeah think you're right... I'm using google adwords to check terms and I am still trying to get to grips with the sort of range (in terms of avg search volume) that is high enough to make a mini-site worth doing, but not so high that you have no chance of ranking well with it. I also count work out if having a full bar in the "advertiser competition" column is a good or bad thing... Cheers Scott.

If I was to do a mini site calculator I'd go further down the list for a first attempt and try something like 'retirement calculator' it has very high CPC and avoiding mortgages & savings reduces the competitiveness enough to give you a better chance of success.

After reading the article, I went down the calculator route with a <a href="http://www.savings-calculator.co.uk"> Savings Calculator </a>. It's not cost much to set up as the url was unregistered and I coded it all myself (I had done some html and javascript a few years ago). Not had many hits yet, so I'm starting to think I've picked a keyword with too much competition. It's early days though, so we will see how it goes. Any comments/advice would be appreciated! Anyway, cheers for the inspiration! This is the post that inspired me to build my first mini-site, so I thought I’d add my first comment on SMM here too!

Just an FYI Ebay will provide you code to paste on your site for your specific product. It will show the most current auctions and bids. I don't know what kind of results you would have but it could be a possible revenue stream for you. BTW, I have spent the better part of yesterday afternoon and this morning going through the blog and have thouroughly enjoyed it. I am at a point that I am just now "getting" the whole internet marketing thing and this blog has really tied some loose ends for me and opened my eyes to some ideas too. Thanks.

Is there a reason you aren't using a live ebay feed for the magnets refered to in the vibrating pipes site? Just wondering. Love the article.
