Good Question Tim, I’m going to assume that they build for 6 keywords at 30,000 geographic locations each. In fact I’m going to just start making shit up to build the size of this post up until Jake or Andrew give the real answer.

How’s that for a challenge?

In fact my first made up fact is they build a post for each individual a…[Read more]

Tim, I have alreadt done searches and the misspellings show up when I do my keyword research. There aren’t many but for the niche I’m looking at they’re probably 6 misspellings that add up to 200 to 300 searches a month. Not many but for a $20 to $50 cpc just one or two a month would be nice.

When I type the misspelling into a GGGGG search it…[Read more]

After that would you just have…[Read more]

At least it gives me something to w…[Read more]

But isn’t the power of the shaker sites their enormity? Isn’t that what helps them dominate rankings? Isn’t the locality angle a big part of it also?

Thanks Steve for helping expand my knowledge base. Someday I may even teach this.

Exactly my point Steve. Maybe I should’ve asked a more to the point question. How would you build a Shaker site (big 30,000 posts type site) and gear it towards a market like the one I mentioned, World of Warcraft?

Mark,

Excellent post. Lot’s of great ideas here. I would like to dive a little deeper into this.

It’s always been explained to me that building these kind of sites are more successful when you try to go to a local audience (ie. city, state). How would you do this for (I pulled this one out of your list). 4. (Video Game) Cheats   m…[Read more]
