| Virtual real estate is becoming more and more | | | | sites.Think about it this way: A publisher who starts |
| lucrative as the "overnight successes" (spam sites) are | | | | from nothing today and builds one rich content site per |
| disappearing due to search engines "sand boxing" all | | | | week in 2006 is going to have about 52 sites this time |
| new sites and de-listing spammers.Gone forever are | | | | next year.With a good marketing plan for each site |
| the days where anyone with moderate experience | | | | which includes no SEO tricks and nothing even "grey |
| could come into a market and dominate it within a | | | | hat" in the mix, she should have the ability to isolate 10 |
| month or two in the search engines. Since Google and | | | | sites in her network worth spending more time on than |
| other engines no longer reward new sites of any kind | | | | the others. This is given that the revenue model for |
| with immediate results, only the mature, savvy e-real | | | | each of the 10 sites is producing at least $10 per |
| estate investor will win the day in 2006.Smart niche | | | | day.Turning those 10 sites into $30 a day earners can |
| site network publishers have been gearing up for 2006 | | | | pluck up over $100,000.00 in revenue in a year's time! |
| with solid, well-thought-out site designs, content | | | | With good research on profitable niches to provide |
| strategies, and niche research to place content rich | | | | with good content, and a simple but solid marketing |
| sites up with no other goal than to let them grow and | | | | plan for each site, anyone with the proper training and |
| season into very valuable properties in 6-8 months | | | | patience can get into the game.Now the publisher in |
| time.Having a site entrenched in the search engines | | | | the above example is pulling in $300 per day with just |
| means you have been around for at least 3 months - | | | | 10 sites. Last year it took upwards of 100 or more |
| and that is stretching it. Rewards are coming to those | | | | spam sites to do the same thing with no hope it would |
| who wait patiently. And only to those content site | | | | continue from day to day depending on when the |
| publishers who build real sites, not the spammy sites | | | | engines caught up with them and de-listed them.The |
| we were all waiting anxiously to disappear from the | | | | publisher in the above example can keep that money |
| engines last year.Finally, content, which has been | | | | rolling in indefinitely without fear because her 10 sites |
| referred to as "King" for years, (but treated in reality | | | | are perfect content sites that search engines love. No |
| like a cheap whore until recently) is truly the focus of | | | | tricks and no spam software involved.A publisher can |
| smart investors looking to build a network of sites on | | | | then go on to find the next 10 winners in their network |
| special niches to attract lucrative advertising and | | | | or continue to focus on the current 10 with an eye on |
| product sales revenue.Many virtual investors and | | | | drastically improving one or all of the sites' profit |
| developers who have built now popular sites are selling | | | | margins with ramped up marketing and content |
| their networks for millions today.And this is the real | | | | development.Now comes the great part. A publisher |
| "out." Smart virtual real estate investors not only build | | | | who finds their 10 winners and develops them into sites |
| to profit in the short term, but are building popular sites | | | | that average 300-500 visitors per day each now has |
| and networks of sites with an eye to cash out big in | | | | a network of sites pulling in 3000-5000 eyeballs each |
| the coming year.All it really takes is good research, | | | | and every day.Depending on the markets served with |
| creativity in isolating a market, and most of all - | | | | the 10 winners, a site network like this, which has |
| patience. The longer you let your network grow and | | | | proven revenue and traffic, can easily value from |
| season and the more popular you make it with strong | | | | $150,000.00 and up these days.Why? Because of the |
| promotion tactics, the more it is worth to investors | | | | traffic, proven profits, and the quality of the sites |
| who are looking for any site network that moves | | | | themselves. This is something that was totally |
| traffic.The second level of virtual real estate investing | | | | forgotten in the Adsense spam site days. The guys |
| is buying up networks of content sites and focusing | | | | who built 5000 sites with no more value than a single, |
| the traffic on profitable product lines, affiliate product | | | | traffic-less affiliate casino site have lost everything |
| sales, services of all kinds, and for advertising | | | | they worked for. Once they were out of the engines, |
| revenue.Investors who sell traffic via banner | | | | they were out of business.And they have nothing to |
| advertising, pay per click, and any number of text | | | | sell. No assets. No content means no value. No search |
| linking schemes always seem to have a higher | | | | engine rankings means no serious traffic and no |
| demand for ad space than traffic supply. This will | | | | revenue.But the publisher who built just 10 content sites |
| continue to be the case in the coming years and smart | | | | last year that are now doing at least $30 each per |
| niche site publishers are banking on the advertising | | | | day is sitting on not only $109,500.00 gross yearly |
| industry's insatiable appetite for good targeted | | | | revenue, but also a network worth far more than that |
| traffic.Once people get over the Adsense boom and | | | | which they can sell to rabid investors looking for just |
| bust period of 2005, they will start to realize that | | | | such a deal to land in their lap each and every |
| Adsense is merely "funded research" and the big | | | | day.Again, all it takes is knowing the niche publishing |
| game is the virtual properties themselves.Biggest | | | | industry and the tactics for creating and marketing |
| mistake in 2006?Spam sites! Once they are dropped | | | | content rich niche sites and a little patience.This is what |
| out of the engines, and they all have been or will be | | | | the market wants. All you have to do is give it the |
| soon, they are totally valueless. Complete and utter | | | | elbow grease it deserves to reap massive profits |
| failures from the domain name to the time and money | | | | down the relatively short road to success.Copyright |
| poured into them.Yet publishers who go the extra mile | | | | 2006 Tale Chaser Publishing, Inc.Jack Humphrey is the |
| and exercise a modicum of respect for their industry | | | | managing partner of and author of the renowned |
| are still floating the wave of profits by creating real | | | | Power Linking series of internet marketing courses. |
