This seems like a great idea.
I wonder if it’ll work?! )
I suppose there’s no reason why the sites wouldn’t get indexed and be profitable any differently than new .infos…
I had just been thinking of trying something like this. I am very interested to see how it will work. I would think that you would want a domain that was already a PR5 or higher for this to work (maybe a PR4).
Hi Amy,
Nice video! I’m interested in hearing your progress on the WPMU idea.
Upside: You can build tons of Mage sites for the cost of one, decent Google-loved domain.
Downside: If Google ever decides to de-list your top-level domain, you’ve lost everything (that is, every sub-domain you built under your main domain).
Actually, from what I’ve read, google treats each subdomain differently. Just because the top level or one of the subdomains gets deindexed, doesn’t necessarily mean they all will. But noone knows for sure.
Love it!!!.. you sure have alot of great ideas up your sleeve. I cant afford to buy 20 … 30 domains at once myself, only 1 income earner here.. times are tough butttt!!! this idea of yours sure make sense & you’ve already implemented it… I cant wait for the next videos, Id like to decrease my spending load and start making some money..this is sure a winner… keep it coming.. great stuff!!
Yes, I have two WPMU Maged installs, with about 3-5 blogs on each. I’d have more if I had timed! I’ve been getting adsense clicks on them, yes! Easy money!
Read up on it here… http://mu.wordpress.org/. It’s not a throwaway domain as we are accustomed to exactly. And the install process is more complicated. I learned how by following the instructions at the link.
Amy,
It sounds like this idea is starting to work well for you, although I’d love to hear more about the success you’re having so far. One question: when you speak of a quality aged domain to put do this on, can you give us some rough parameters of the kind of domain you’d be looking for in terms of Google PR, backlinks, etc. and price paid? Thanks.

Hi Amy,
Are you using this at the moment with mage?
How is it working out for you?
Any feedback?

Hi Amy
This sounds a good idea – If and when will you be doing some more vids anout this?
Thanks Barry

Amy,
With WPMU Maged blogs, are you moving away from buying expired .com and new .info in favor of WPMU?
Are you setting up you WPMU Maged blog names as keyword specific names, sames as you would with a .com or .info?
Your input are really appreciated.
Thanks

I”m still focused on building regular mage sites with cpmage. If I build more wpmu sites, they will surely be with really good expired domains.

What if your main domain is out of favor of Google? Does it mean that all your subdomains will go south as well? This is the potential risk I can see.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
I don’t work for Google, so I can’t say for sure. But I wouldn’t personally build a WPMU blog on a domain that is already deindexed.

Hi Amy,
Using WPMU I presume you would still need to install mage on a throwaway domain? And then take the same steps as with an ordinary install?

So you install MU at the root and then install CPMage on this? Then operate each subdomain as though it were a mage site?
