All the templates you need.

With regards to content, I find that Googleing for information held as a .doc or .xls or .psd or whatever provides content that is not indexed by Google and is therefore not punished for being duplicate.

Of course, some may sneer at using others work, I personally dont give a rats arse.

some useful links thanks, I like what you've done with Jeremy site.
Got a few domains that could work with the amazon store bit. Need to look into this some more as parking seems to be slowly dying....

One of the mistakes I have made is trying to do too many at once, now Im left for 5 or 6 half finished sites, JC included, and no time to complete any of them.

Indeed. One of the nicest 'honorific' sites I've come across.

I've got a meeting with a sub-continent software house next week who are touting for UK business. Going to see what they'll charge for a bulk project of say 100 minisites... with a few caveats on style, standards complience, seo etc.

I've got long list of freebie template sites. I'll start a new thread I think. Some of the commercial sites have freebie pages tucked away. e.g

http://www.templateworld.com/free_templates.html

The fact that you found it by googling proves that it IS indexed by Google!

You may have a point, however the data contained within the .doc (for example) doesnt appear to be indexed, only the content contained on th page that provides the link to the .doc to download.

Greetings all and thanks for a brill read, very informative .

Here's a thought regarding a source for getting content. I have not tried it and don't event know if it has potential .

Given that you can search for docs on P2P networks it may be that there's be an opportunity to find original content/copy??

I know some will baulk at this idea. However those who make their docs available for users of these networks (p2p) should not have an issue with copyright.

Any merit do you think?

cheers

I've also had enough of parking and the pittance you get, however I have a problem/question?

When you park a domain at sedo for example and it disappears out of the index. Is this domain now sandboxed/barred?

If you then create a minisite/affiliate site you can't really submit a re inclusion request as they won't want to index a site of adsense/affiliates? or will they?

How do you then get it indexed again?

With patience.. I have a few that were in that boat and it really seems to be luck of the draw in how long it takes for them to be indexed again - anytime between 4 weeks and 4 months Ive found.

Thanks

There are loads of free template sites out there. The one in my sig came from http://www.openwebdesign.org/ I just added a contact form. Saves me from setting up email address for each site and stops the spam.

Is that without a reinclusion request then? I thought once barred they wouldn't get indexed without one?
