Get rich by sellin links!

You will lose your site's authority from Google within the year, completely owning your ability to sell links on your site.

 

I agree, easier said then done. Finding advertisers, maintaining PR...

 

Actually if you cover enough topics like: health , games, pets, webmasters, SEO you will easy be able to sell your links on DigitalPoint to.

Also web hosting is no so expensive, you may also find a good hosting at 1$ per year , or free hosting, even with no ads on it!

However, you may find hosting with unlimited domains add ons for 5-10$ also

 

Free hosting is fine, if offers absolutely no guarantee though.
Considering that you'll probably be selling monthly or permanent links, you should definitely consider a good hosting provider, that is to return your link buyers a quality service.

Quality is not expensive our days. And free hosting is a bit unprofessional I'd say. At least for the purpose we've been discussing here in this thread. Not when you get it free as part of a deal, I'm only referring to free hosting packages available to the masses that sometimes get overloaded with newbies accounts where guys have no idea what an FTP client is..

 

Interesting thread, I have actually thought about this a little over a year ago and have started building a few sites. I am starting with only 15 sites, not including my current sites, and have been doing SEO for them. I have not opened it up for link sales, but I have placed some PPA ads, and have gotten a nice return

My advice;
-be careful with the niches you choose
- don't lose track of any sites ( sounds simple, but I have actually forgot about 2 sites )
- do not sell any links before you establish it

those are just a few I could think of right now good luck softgroups

I use them....

Just get one reseller host like that and stick all your sites on them. Less than $50/month... but then again the budget is like $50 a year. Whoops.

That could be a problem.

 

Nah, that's a wise move. $1/year hosting would be more trouble then it's worth, let alone limiting

 

I agree that the more stable/reliable the servers are, the better - I've certainly graduated from ultra-cheap hosting. However, this means that just to break even, he would need to sell 3 links a month - if he ever gets more traffic/more sites than the server can handle, then he has to upgrade to $80/mo or $120/mo. That's 4 or 6 links sold a month to stay even.

I still think it could work and I definitely want him to try, but it's precarious: the sites need a lot of attention and they need to be high-quality. Then again, if he doesn't launch enough sites and doesn't get them high-ranking quick enough, they start sucking money up pretty quickly.
