I have recently found a number of forum threads highlighting the success possible with minisites.
This is a controversial area as there are many compelling arguements against the creation of hundreds and hundreds of minisites. As far as I am concerned I think domainers need to develop out their portfolios. Development increases the value of domain names and minisites that show strength are ideal for further development.
With this in mind I wanted to quicly share a few forum threads that will be helpful if you are considering minisite development.
1.) 6 Months Later: $300 Daily w/Adsense (Lessons Learned) - 32 pages of minisite Q and A from the Warrior Forum
2.) How YOU can REALLY reach $100/day + w/Adsense! If you liked 1.) above you might find this post from the Warrior forum interesting
3.) Making a domain earn £1 a week from Acorn Domains Forum
4.) The Clickbump Method from a Warrior Forum member
5.) Help and advice for newbies…….. from the Affilliate 4 u forum
Here is a post from several years ago saying something similar.

There are many articles advocating the development of authority sites as the best way to maximise returns. A few years ago it was all the rage for people to set up blog networks with big ‘authority sites’ that were developed to dominate their niche. However, domainers are in a slightly different position and have to be aware that parking is no longer a viable model. Even minimal development could generate sufficient income to cover renewal fees and mass development has proven to be very profitable indeed.
PortableFans.co.uk has been pointed to an Amazon store for a long time now. Its been ranking on the first page of Google for a long time and it is time to give it a descent site of its own. This has now been done.
Three other minisites have been set up on PortableDehumidifier.co.uk, CancellationHolidays.net and OilFilledHeater.co.uk.
Domainer and Blogger Chef Patrick has published a five part beginners series on developing a geo domain/ geo development, on his site. Read all about it here…….
I have just added two more minisites to the EnglandWide.com network – Hastings Guide and Poole Guide.
This means that I have started 12 geo sites, with lots, lots more to develop over the coming weeks and months.
Its been a while but I have manged to put my latest minisite online.
AllInOnePCs.co.uk is a site about All In One PCs, obviously. Its a basic minisite template site with privacy policy. If it shows any strength I will develop in out, so we will see what happens.
I’d hoped to get more done over the holiday period, but this is the first since the holiday began.
Eventually there will be an up to date list of my minisites in the links section.
More in due course……………….
