Recently I received an email from DNForum.com announcing their brand new service, ContentMiniSites.com. I almost deleted it but the name struck my curiosity. After further investigation, I found out that ContentMiniSites.com builds content and keyword rich websites for your individual domain names. The way it works is you tell them the domain name and topic that you want them to build a site for, they do all of the keyword research, build you a custom header, enter keyword rich article categories and fill your site with 100-200 pages of content. They even put together a sitemap for you to submit to Google! You then enter your adsense ID and start collecting the ad revenue for your website. Not bad for $19-$50 a site!
The way that they are able to do it so cheap is they use e-zine articles from ezinearticles.com as the content. So, there is the issue of possible duplicate content penalization. However, maybe with that much targeted content and everything else it won’t matter much. My estimation is that the site would still perform much better than simple domain name parking that people typically run away from.
I plan on buying a package, and when I do, I will post my results and overall review of their service.
For more information, checkout ContentMiniSites.com.

Hey Dan, I’m about to write a followup blog post
Andy, I would be interested in the followup to this. I wasn’t able to find the followup blog post mentioned above. My gut tells me that it should not work out well but I would love to be proven wrong!
Hey, we are a fellow design firm in CDA. I would love to take you to lunch sometime to get acquainted.
Hey Barney!
Lunch would be great! I started on a post a while back for the content mini sites, but I got really busy! In short, the Content Mini Sites were a flop. My income from those domain names went down. Even though CMS provides more “content”, it is hardly unique and lacks quality. Before CMS, my sites had little content but what they had was unique and they brought in alright income.
CMS raves about how all of your content will get indexed with their system. They are right, however, I get horrible rankings.
And while they do a better job than most similar products at looking like an actual website…they still look like spam.
I’m quite busy with web design right now, but when things slow down I plan on building good, solid, unique money making sites with good quality content. Then I will get rid of Content Mini Sites. Oh well, lesson learned : )

I bought one from them, it didnt work out well, if anyone is interested.
Unfortunately, they do not tell you that your web visitors will be redirected to other sites before you purchase the service – it was a waste of money – you are sending your visitors to other sites through the majority of the content provided. In fact, one of their selling points was :
Tired of Parking? Tired of sending your traffic way to parked pages? Then our templates are for you. Put up a website that will bring your vistors back for more and earn revenue at the same time.
Well – 90% of the pages go to other sites’ pages showing ads.
I’m sorry, but I want visitors to stay on our sites.
Hey Peter – you are totally right. I so badly want to have a day or so to move my sites off of their system back to the way they were. Oh well, it was a learning experience
