If you don’t know what MFAs are, you shouldn’t be reading this blog

This is another idea I had and have used to degree a while ago – and still do. Other BHs use it too, of course.

If you’re worried about losing your Adsense account or having your blogs banned, instead of churning out 100’s of splogs, why not create a network of WH blogs? If you target the right niche, it still does pay!

So, the biggest problem is content right? Well, if you’re prepared to work at it or outsource (or both), it’s not so difficult. There are many millions of free articles from sites like articledashboard.com, articlecity.com, ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, etc. Obviously, you can’t use those articles as-is because they won’t rank due to those damn duplicate content filters! However, if you modify the articles so they are around 50% different they should bring in traffic, according to my experiments.

What do I mean by 50%? Well, I totally change the title, delete a five or more sentences, add five or more sentences and change two or more words in every existing sentence. On average, it takes about 5 minutes to customize each article so it’s unique. Overall, that’s about 12 per hour or about 60 for 5 hours work. But, it’s easy to outsource the customization of the articles as long as you are very specific with the requirements.

In a month, it would be easy to build 20 WH MFAs with about 100 articles each.

To get you going, here’s a feed containing 1000 mortgage related articles scraped from a popular article site.

I’ve mentioned this on several forums, but I’ll recap here because someone recently left me a comment about it.

Tens of thousands of domains expire everyday. But, for some unknown reason, a small percentage retain their PR and backlinks, and TDNAM is an ideal place to find and buy them cheaply. However, because of the sheer quantity that expire, trying to find the quality domains manually is exceptionally difficult. 

So, a while back I built a TDNAM URL scraper and PR checker tool, and have since bought many, many PR 3, 4 and some PR 5 domains for less than $15 each!

I won’t provide the tool I wrote, but it’s easy enough to build your own with VB/C#.

Download the DLL component and add a project reference to it (project->add reference). And, here’s some simple VB code that get Google’s PR and backlink count.

Imports PRChecker

…

Dim informer As GInformer = New PrInformer()
Dim backlink As GInformer = New BackLinksInformer()
Dim pagerank, backlinks As Integer

pagerank = informer.GetInfo(”http://google.com”)
backlinks = backlink.GetInfo(”http://google.com”)

A while back I was reading up on Web 2.0; I even bought an book that discussed the concepts, feature-sets, designs, programming languages, etc. In fact, it weren’t a bad book!

I then began looking at and comparing typical Web 2.0 sites – interesting stuff. And as I do, I jumped in to the future and tried to get a glimpse of Web X.0 sites… and WOW! A typical blog is seamlessly integrated with video, audio, and flash, AI-based search functions with novel features like ‘Ask a Question’, ‘Top Tips’, etc, integration with similar blogs (content sharing), and unparallel user experience compared to today.

Now back to reality. I remember watching one of John Reese’s videos fairly recently where he states something like, “the time to act is now, build top-notch authority sites… and easily out-compete most competitors because there’s so much crap on the internet”.

Never truer words spoken! There is a lot of crap on the Net.

So, I was thinking about creating my first Web 2.0 site and I came up with an online research and writing tool, with a typical Web 2.0 user-interface supported by AJAX, and obviously a database driven backend.

So what will this site/tool do? Simply put, it’s an article research and writing tool. Type a few keywords into an edit box and click one of a number of options, the tool then  finds related images, text (complete articles, paragraphs, or just sentences), audio, video and relevant links. All the retrieved info is stored in boxes that can be moved around like a Windows desktop. Such a tool could dramatically cut down the amount of time it takes to research and write articles. As for potential users… many millions without even considering other languages!

Beni has been busy lately, doing what he does best: identifying vulnerabilities, security flaws, XSS exploits, etc.

In the last few days he’s been playing with Wordpress and identified no less than 7 vulnerabilities and he even created a friendly worm to disclose certain flaws.

And can you believe Beni is only 18! Bright kid, bright future and I’m surprised no-one has snapped-up his talents yet!
