Buying a website for income

[eek]

Is there any money in writing content?

Probably but a lot of people offload that to india and the Philippines for $1-2 a 100 words.

Never mind the price, feel the quality. Have you read the crap those people turn out?

I have a dedicated server sitting doing very little, and plenty of time on my hands, so I could conceivably set a few sites like this up, stick some google adverts on them and see what happens.

In fact I could even flog the sites on that flippa site, sell em cheap and hit em with the hosting fees

Now you're seeing it......

I'll give you the full scoop and show you how it's done, but I'll need a consultancy fee

Writing content wont help because the content needs to update dynamically. There is so much content available on most subjects anyway, you'd be pissing in the wind.

Where does the content originate? Someone else's website, so the feeds are just scraping other sites, most likely without permission?


That's usually the cheapest way of obtaining content.

Nothing that complicated. RSS feeds, article libraries, use your imagination

Won't that mean the content is distributed across lots of sites outside your control, affecting SEO due to duplicate content?

Unless it's your own article bank, modified from other sources, then spat out to your own web of sites.

I read about something called RSS morphing the other day. Interesting angle for changing content to look unique. Not sure how autonomous it can be made, using a thesaurus dictionary of words, but intriguing all the same.

I've seen quite a few which have obviously been through a bidirectional google translate and touched up by a four year old before publication.

Nah, that's just the decline in English literature and language you're witnessing.

Any pleb can get an A in English without so much as needing to consult the Oxford dictionary. No need to seeing as it's infested with slang and words that are in vogue.

I prefer Vanity Fair myself.
