The key to this is picking the domains that are exact matches to keyword phases that are searched for.

Within days you will be number one in MSN and Yahoo & Google will close behind.
Congrats on this Paul, that's a monster increase in revenue!!!

I submitted a site to Google a few weeks ago, but am now informed that it cannot index the site (4 pages) correctly. It is the usual problem i suppose when using framed web forwarding, in that no matter what page you are on, the address bar always only ever says,
'http://www.xxxxxyyyyyzzzzz.co.uk'
Is there a way to make the forwarded pages appear as such:
'http://www.xxxxxyyyyyzzzzz.co.uk/index.htm'
'http://www.xxxxxyyyyyzzzzz.co.uk/whatsits.htm'
'http://www.xxxxxyyyyyzzzzz.co.uk/thingys.htm' .... etc, or is the only answer to resort to hosting? On low income sites, surely it isn't worth the expenditure to host them?

With a hosting reseller account you pay a fixed monthly fee for unlimited websites. You can get cheap reseller hosting, I have had an a/c since 2000 so hosting has never been a cost issue when creating sites for me.

Or if on a really budget you could use a single hosting account and add on domains.

Hostgator do a great hosting account for $9.95 a month..... (PS. affiliate link on my site here if you do decide to buy! ) www.quickwhois.co.uk

Whilst keyword domains do help (alot!), long tail searches are the key to the game........

I've made a followup post on this at: http://www.quickwhois.co.uk/blog/how...-1-a-week.html

It discusses some early observations from a couple of my recent mini-site projects.

I don't think the hosting is the issue it's using frames. Simple answer DON'T. Indexers have got better, but still wont index framesets & dynamic urls as well as clean urls and modern template & semantic based sites.

Develop a template thats got a clean left sidebar and generate the required number of pages, then fill with different content and add a css/ul based menu on it.

There's no excuse really for frame & tables based sites.
