This article from Daily Blog Tips has a nice list………….

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.

SEOmoz | Five Reasons Why It’s Better to be Big & Popular than Small & Niche

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.

Three other minisites have been set up on PortableDehumidifier.co.uk, CancellationHolidays.net and OilFilledHeater.co.uk.

This means that I have started 12 geo sites, with lots, lots more to develop over the coming weeks and months.

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……………….

At Domaining.org.uk, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit Domaining.org.uk, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Log Files

As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.

We also use third party advertisements on Domaining.org.uk to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Scunthorpe kebabs to someone in Sunthorpe, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
