30 Days to a Kick Ass Foundation: Day 1 – Getting Started
I figured Day 1 was a great time to talk about what even gave me the idea to help you build your own website network. It was Elli over at Blue Hat SEO’s post about building a SEO empire. He does an awesome job of telling you what he does, or proposes to do. However, it’s got a lot of hard techie stuff that many folks are going to have an issue with.
First off while this blog has a big fat “BLACK HAT” in it – I’m not going to take you all the way down the dark side. Many of you don’t have the technical skills to do that…. so it would just frustrate you… and me when you had to ask all sorts of silly questions. So until we get past the 30 day project and I start getting into some of the darker advanced stuff your just going to have to settle for “dark grey seo”.
We are going to keep things pretty simple, and I’m either going to give you the tools and scripts I talk about right here on the blog as a present, or I’ll be including them in the Niche Site Special 2 Black Hat membership site. I’ll also be using and talking about some third party scripts and tools that are available and I will be using them as part of my network. You have the luxury of ignoring me whenever you want, and doing your own thing though. So if you don’t have the money for something don’t sweat it. Just do more of the other things and you will have that money. Sound like a good plan?
It’s Day One! Today your job is easy. Go register for the following:
- Other98percent.com and come pop in the forum. Log in with your other98percent.com username and password. Make your way to the Black Hat Digest section of the forum. Participate. Make a thread to “show” your progress.
- Sign up for Niche Site Special 2 black hat membership. Yes there is a fee. Yes I can help you if you need it and are going to document your progress.
- Get prepared to get hosting and domain names and to learn a little if it’s your first time dealing with these things.
You can skip to day two if you would like at this point as well if you understand what Elli had to say or if you understand what a tiered network is. This is just making sure you have what I’ll be providing, and a way to talk to me. If it takes you all day your in trouble 
For those of you who don’t get it – here we go.
We are going to be dealing with 3 different classifications of websites.
1.) White Hat: White hat sites are at the top of your network. It’s where you are going to be driving traffic and links to. These are money sites – but they are also never going to be abused. Any shady or automated linking you do to these sites will be masked by linking to your foundation sites instead. These are scripts, services, affiliate promotion sites, blogs, static html, original content stuff. Things you can show your momma, google, and the affiliate networks. While you can use some auto generation scripts here you sorta have to add some or a lot of original content.
2.) Grey Hat or Foundation level sites: These are my favorite and I pump them out all day long. They are the semi solid base that pushes link love and visitors up to my money (white hat) sites. Foundation sites are blogs with less than ideal content, scrapped sites, database driven sites, etc… They really aren’t black hat (Unless you go nuts with the linking) but they aren’t quite what your momma would like to see you doing. Google should probably leave these sites alone even if they got a human review. Your grey hat sites should be linking up to your white hat sites.
3.) Black Hat sites: These sites are auto generated, spammy, and by design exploit something, somewhere to either get links, content, or something. They should be easy to install, operate, etc… You should create these in bulk, link to them in bulk, and ignore them in bulk. They should link up to your grey hat sites. You can complete the 30 day challenge here and NEVER DO A BLACK HAT SITE. It’s cool if you don’t like these methods or don’t like working hard to have things get banned.
I use the black hat sites to push links upwards. I use blog networks, splogs (elli called them cycle sites), and third party scripts (and some of my own) to kick these out in bulk and just redirect them to an affiliate offer when they get banned from the search engines.
The whole concept is really simple. Nice sites at the top, black hat sites at the bottom, and all of them linking upwards in some fashion.
Add in that each site should generate a profit of some type and you’ve got a solid plan.
I’ve expanded things inside the NSS 2 members area – but if you aren’t a member Eli’s post is great for getting the concept. I’ll go over the rest as we go along.
To finish Day One:
- Other98percent.com and come pop in the forum. Log in with your other98percent.com username and password. Make your way to the Black Hat Digest section of the forum. Participate. Make a thread to “show” your progress.
- Sign up for Niche Site Special 2 black hat membership. Yes there is a fee. Yes I can help you if you need it and are going to document your progress.
- Get prepared to get hosting and domain names and to learn a little if it’s your first time dealing with these things.
Once your all set there – go move onto Day 2.
P.S. – I’m breaking things down by days, but some might take you less or more. If you are a total newbie, it might take you a week for some of the future days. Don’t sweat it though – just realize everything you are doing is going to turn into money. That’s what work is supposed to do right?
