Internet Marketing For Newbies

Recently there was/is a 12 ring bout between Google and BANS. Well, we’re in the 10 round and since the ref is also Google, I think it’s going to be obvious who is going to win.

What am I talking about??

When BANS first came out, it was great! It was a great product and everyone made money. Then allot more people got started using BANS, so to make our sites stand out we modified our templates to look different then everyone else’s and started adding content pages. This worked well for awhile, then…

Google changed the way they looked at web sites and started de-indexing what they considered “thin sites”. A BANS site is considered a thin site to Google and started de-indexing (de-indexing is when your site is REMOVED from Google Search Engine also known as the Google Slap) them.

Then some of us started to change the way we went about it. We started building WordPress blogs, full of original content and linking to our BANS store. Google seems to like the way we are going about it but there are some major pit falls.

1. You can’t put up 100 BANS stores anymore Can you imagine posting to 100 blogs a day?
2. Posting original content to your blog takes time, allot of time
3. Because of the posting time factor you can only put up as many as you can handle in a week 3 - 10 sites.
4. And lets not forget, you need to be working on your other streams of income, affilate marketing, VRE, etc…

UPDATE:

I started to wright this post last week. In that time Google has de-indexed one of my BANS/WP sites. That’s where the blog is in a folder NOT the root directory. I’m pulling the plug on any new BANS sites and will only be posting to the sites that are still indexed once or twice a month. I’m in a wait a see mode, I don’t want to spend any more time on a project that might be de-indexed at any moment.

I’m going to spend my time on my other projects. One is up and running as I build it, www.ExtensiveInfo.com and I’m also building a affiliate site that won’t be accessible online until I get more of it completed.

I’ll be using this area to post on each of these sites as I build them. ExtensiveInfo.com is a VRE/PLR site (Virtual Real Estate / Public Label Rights) and as I said above, the other is an affiliate site. More on this in our next post.
