wow you bought the domains for 20k and in a month you’ve made almost 3k, that means that in 10 months you’ll get your money back and some. Good business

Unusual to find someone being so candid about their web enterprises.

Always a good idea to have a good keyword in the domain name; SE0 fads come and go, but that’s still a golden ‘trick’.

I have bought 10 domains recently, a couple with sites on them.
Just setting them up now. Had lots of problems getting them transferred to my host who weren’t very helpful.
They were very cheap but have good search volume and are all keyword specific so will spend the rest of the year ranking a couple of them and building up content, testing adsense vs affiliate ec.
Once I am a bit more confident I know what I am doing and looking for I will increase to a 4 fig budget and buy a bigger site with solid (albeit small) income next year.

Developing sites sounds and reads so easily! But it really is a lot of time/effort getting things done properly!
I see understand why people give up after a while but this is my future plan and I already work at home self-employed so no quitting now.

Good to hear you guys have been busy, with a portfolio thats constatly growing how are you finding the admin side of it all? Tracking and maintaining all those sites and domains must be a bit of pain in the butt?

The city based domain network is a very good idea. It makes a lot of sense to use multiple sites instead of just 1. You save a lot of time that way. You may even attract advertisers who do business in several of those cities. I’m sure the search engine geotargeting would like those domains.

I would imagine that local business would be the best way to go and then naturally any traveling agencies that has trips to the specific areas.

When I work it out myself I’ll let you know Justin It has to come from local businesses so you need to prove you have the eyeballs of their target audience – tie that in with off-line leaflet advertising (sponsored by businesses to cover costs)

I run a site for a small sub-section of Toronto. The sub–city is Etobicoke, and the site is http://etobigo.ca. We’re having the hardest time generating any revenue. Any ideas?

Hiya Guys & Girls

Your UK market observations are really much more helpful to me as a South African based entity, than US observations.

I just found your blog, and will be posting comment under articles and blog posts of yours.

We’ll chat soon!

I think the idea of the location URLs is a good idea, because the sites will be pretty easy to build up. I don’t think it would be too hard to find local businesses to feature on the site – they tend to like locally run things
