Setting Up Your Auto-Blogging Tool

At this point, you’ve:
-Setup and installed blogs on your money domains
-Setup and installed blogs on your blog farm domains
-Interlinked your blog farms to create a powerful indexing network.

The last step in “Setting the Foundation” of your AdSense business is installing your auto-blogging software.

In this section I’m going to use Swift Blogger because it’s my auto-blogger of choice. It posts content to your blogs automatically. Again, I am not trying to upsell you on this tool. There are other tools out there that you may find more suitable. But, I had this one built simply because I found the others ones to be unsuitable.

 If you combine Swift Blogger with a quality blog farm like the one I showed you how to setup, you’ll be able to create an indexing network that is more powerful than you ever thought possible. And you’ll be able to use this indexing network to get all of your sites indexed quickly well into the future.

Follow these methods and you’ll be getting FAR more pages indexed and see a potentially huge increase in earnings. This is not hype or me trying to pump you up…it’s simply the natural result of promoting your pages in an effective (and automated) way.

 Let’s jump into it. 

 First, choose 14 domains on your dedicated server where you’re going to install Swift Blogger. Or, you could install 13 instances of SB on one domain.

 Why 14?

Because you’ll be using 10 installs for your money domains, and 1 install for each of your blog farms. Each Swift Blogger install takes about 8 minutes, but you only have to do it once.

Importing Your Blogs into Swift Blogger 

Once you’ve installed Swift Blogger 13 times, you’ll need to import your blogs into SB.

 Import 10 of your money-domain blogs into your first 10 installs (10 blogs per install). Then, import the blogs from your blog farms into the remaining 3 intalls (1 blog farm per install).

If you used WordPressSuperInstaller to install your WP blogs, then this whole process is probably going to take about 5 minutes.

If you’re not sure how to do this, just follow the Swift Blogger instructions.

Or…

The above video shows you the process for importing your blogs into Swift Blogger.

Repeat this process so that all of your blogs are loaded into one of your SB installs.

Gathering Content for Your Blogs 

Now, that you’ve created all of your blogs and uploaded them into a Swift Blogger install, we need to start posting content to these blogs.

We don’t have any URL’s to post to these blogs yet, so we will only be using content. You want to post content to ALL of your blogs for a week. After that, you can begin posting links to your blog farms. Of course, we’ll continue to post only content to our 100 money-domain blogs.

Why post just content for a week?

 A few reasons. Mainly, we want to start “priming” our blogs. By posting content to them for a period of time, we’re going to generate some spider activity. The search engines will start to find some of your blogs and may even index them. During this time, we’re going to be building pages using one of the generators included with this package.

Swift Blogger has built-in content modules that make gathering a lot of quality content easy and quick. If you own Swift Blogger, then you have access to the tutorials that show you how to find (and create) unlimited content quickly and easily.

Follow those tutorials to load lots of relevant content into your Swift Blogger installs.

As far content, I like to use public domain material, spun content, and public articles that are available at the various article directories out there.

Just realize that you want to gather enough content that your auto-blogger will be on complete auto-pilot for at least a few months. Of course, if it does run out of content you can always add more. But it’s nice to load a ton of content up-front so you can set it and forget it – for months.

Also, Swift Blogger ‘recycles’ your content. This means that when it runs out of content, it starts posting again from the beginning. The chances that the same content will be posted to the same blogs is minimal, due to SB’s random posting feature. 

 I’m not going too detailed on how to use Swift Blogger or any other autoblogger, because each tool has its own documentation.

 Once you content is loaded into SB (or your chosen auto-blogger), you’re ready to begin posting content to your blogs. I would begin by posting 1 to 3 times per day. There is no reason to post more than this, and on top of that you don’t want to eat up your server resources.

Your blogs are now up and running. Leave your auto-blogging tool running day and day out while you move on to the next phase.

At the end of the “building” phase, you should have at least 3 million unique pages online, although we’ll be shooting for 4 million. But before we build we’ll need to gather 3 to 4 million keywords.

Now, gathering keywords is not rocket science and it is not something you should spend a ton of time picking apart. Just go out there and grab keyword lists and don’t stop! You’re going to be throwing out a big ‘net’ of pages to capture AdSense clicks and your keywords are likely going to cover numerous markets. Some pages will stick and some won’t. I’m not saying you should be haphazard and disorganized when gathering your lists, just don’t be overly methodical.

One thing I DO NOT recommend is going out there and buying up every keyword tool on the market. There are way too many, and this is just not necessary. Instead, choose a few tools that are going to allow you to pull LOTS of keywords quickly.

Sidenote: One option is simply plug the PG Insider keywords in the generators and start building. While you will still make money this way, it probably won’t be as effective as if you create your own keyword lists.

Over time, I’ve gathered millions upon millions of unique keywords using various tools. I’ll explain one method that I use quite often that works very well. It combines two tools – Keyword Elite and Keyword Country (keywordcountry.com).

If you haven’t heard of KeywordCountry.com, go to their site right now and read about their service. I use it, and it’s top-notch for what we’re trying to accomplish. Here’s one method you can use right now to gather words. It’s fast, effective and for the most part -- automated: You can extract high-paying AdSense keywords from the KC database and download them to your computer. I call these “root” words. Now, simply run your “root” words through Keyword Elite. This is going to give you an expanded list for each of the “root” words that you extracted from KC. You can gather hundreds of thousands of keywords everyday this way. Over the course of a few weeks, you should be able to gather 4 million keywords.

Just be sure you are keeping your keyword lists themed. Finance lists go into the your “Finance” category, Health lists go into your “health” category, and so on.

KeywordDiscovery.com is another database that I subscribe to. Of course, you don’t want to sit around all day querying KeywordDiscovery.com one keyword at a time. So, you could pay someone to do it for you, or enlist the help of a family member.

Send your assistant a list of “root” words (which you can get from KeywordCountry) and have them query Keyword Discovery all day. You could probably extract upwards of 100,000 keywords per day by ‘outsourcing’ this task.

Or, if you’re a member of PGInsider you can use our “KD Extractor” tool, which will automatically pull 1million+ keywords for you automatically from the Keyword Discovery database. This is the method I use most frequently to gather lists.

Setting up Your Blog Farms (II)

More on Interlinking Your Blogs

Internal Linking

In step 6 above, you linked to your subdomains from each of your 5 main domains. So now, 5 of your domains are now linked internally. Again, leave your 6th domain alone. It should still only have 1 blog on the root and no subdomains.

Interlinking Your Blogs to Create a Blog Farm

At this point, you’ll have Domains One through Five, as well as a sixth domain with no subdomains.

Now, you’re going to link the homepages of each of your main blogs together:


1.    From the homepage of domain 6, link to the main blog on domain 1.
2.    Link from the main blog on domain 1 to main blog on domain 2.
3.    Link from the main blog on domain 2 to the main blog on domain 3.
4.    Link from the main blog on domain 3 to the main blog on domain 4.
5.    Link from the main blog on domain 4 to the main blog 5.
6.    Link from the main blog on domain 5 to the blog on domain six.

So, in effect, you’ve formed a circle of blogs, all linked together.

Now, from an EXTERNAL domain (not part of the blog farm), link into Domain Six. You can do this from a White Hat site you already own, or purchase a cheap PR4 or PR 5 link from a link brokerage. The best link brokerage is…

 Text-link-ads.com

You can also find links on eBay.

Check out prices before dismissing this idea. There are some great deals out there. It’s great to get 2 to 3 good links pointing into Domain 6. The more the better – whatever your budget allows. Also, you want to gather links from sites that are on the same theme as your blog farm. If you have a blog farm about health, then you want to purchase links from health related sites.

One question I anticipate getting is “why not add subdomains to domain 6?” The reason is that you want the spiders to come to domain 6 and do as little snooping around as possible before moving onto domain 1, then 2, then 3, etc.

At this point, your mini blog-network will be completely interlinked. The spiders will arrive at Domain 6 (by following the inbound link(s)) and proceed to work their way around your blog network.

Repeat the exact process above to create two additional blog farms on your other two shared hosting accounts.

Review the video referenced at the top of this section if you’re confused about this.

The next step is loading up some content into an auto-blogging tool so you can start posting to your blog farms. While your blog-farm comes to life and starts getting indexed, you’re going to start building actual pages on your money domains.

We’ll get into these steps in a second, but first, I want to give you one final tip for growing your blog farms:

Add More Subdomains:


Once your 3 blog farms start getting indexed, go back and add more and more subdomains. You don’t have to do this now – but perhaps a few weeks from now.

If you recall, you built 2 subdomains on 5 of the 6 domains in each of your blog farms. Now, you’re going to go back and start adding MORE subdomains to each of those 5 domains.

Remember, the more blogs you have out there the better. You can probably fit 50 to 150 blogs on one shared hosting account, depending on how much space you have.

So, now that your blog farms are setup, go back and add 25 subdomains to each shared hosting account. Then, use WordPressSuperInstaller to install a blog on each of these subdomains.

So, for blog farm one, go back and add 5 subdomains to each of your 5 domains…leaving the 6th one alone.

Once you go back and add 25 subdomains (with blogs) to each blog farm, you’re going to end up with a total of 198 blogs!

If you don’t want to create these subdomains by hand in cPanel, you can always use  DomainToaster.

If you take the steps outlined above, you are going to have a VERY powerful indexing network setup and ready to roll. Again, follow the bulleted tips above

– get a unique template, post pictures, etc.

The important thing after setting up your first 3 blog networks is to monitor your bandwidth and disk space usage. Remember that your disk space is going to be reduced as your blogs grow – just something to keep in mind.

Keeping Track of Your Blogs

It’s a good idea to keep track of your blogs in an Excel spreadsheet. A sample is shown below.

Main Domain    Theme         Type         Blog    Host    Subs #      Swift Blogger
                                               Farm                               Install
                                               ID         
domain1.com    Health          Regular    1          RZ       25            Sbdomain.com/sb
domain2.com    Health          Regular    1          RZ       25            Sbdomain.com/sb
domain3.com    Health          Regular    1          RZ       25            Sbdomain.com/sb
domain4.com    Health          Regular    1          RZ       25            Sbdomain.com/sb
domain5.com    Health          Regular    1          RZ       25            Sbdomain.com/sb
domain6.com    Health          Main        1          RZ         0            Sbdomain.com/sb

Column1: The domain of a blog
Column2: The ‘theme’ of the blog farm. Again, it’s not mandatory that you theme your blog farms,    but I recommend it.
Column3: The blog type. “Main” refers to a blog that has NO subdomains (the same thing at blog 6 in the above blog farm instructions).
Column4: I give every blog farm I create an ID# for keep track of which blogs belong to which blog farms.
Column5: The name of the host…in this case Reseller Zoom
Column6: The number of subdomain blogs on the domain
Column7: The location of the Swift Blogger install where I have uploaded the blog. If I have uploaded the blog to more than one SB install, then I would list additional installs in columns 7, 8 and so on.

Note: You won’t be able to fill in Column 7 until we go through setting up your auto-blogger in a later section.


Advanced Blog Farm Strategies

What I’m about to explain is not MANDATORY, but it is a way to reduce the likelihood that your blog farm will be ‘footprinted’ by the search engines. You can decide for yourself if you want to do this. I would recommend doing it this way. However, I wanted to explain the easy way first (above) to get the basics down and avoid any confusion.

If you understand the process above for creating a blog farm, then you’ll understand what I’m about to describe.

Essentially, this involves interlinking blogs from different hosting accounts, rather than interlinking all of the blogs on one hosting account. Again, this reduces footprinting.

This is easy to do. Just follow the instructions below.

Let’s say you want to setup 1 blog farm across your 3 of your 4 different shared hosting accounts. Here’s an easy way to do it (note, you can repeat this for all 3 blog farms):

Instead of setting up all 6 domains for your blog farm on 1 hosting account, setup 2 domains on each of your 3 hosting accounts. So, if you have 6 domains on Health, setup 2 Health domains no hosting account one, 2 Health domains on hosting account 2, and 2 sports domains on hosting account 3.

Now, follow all of the steps above to create your blog farm as far as installing your blogs and interlinking them.

The end result will be that you now have blogs interlinked across different IP addresses and blocks.

If you do this, here is an example of how your spreadsheet might look. You’ll notice that the only thing that has changed is Column 5 – the Hosting column. Now, you have multiple hosts per blog farm ID: You’ll notice that now I have RZ – IP 1 and RZ IP – 2. If you recall earlier, I noted that if you’re going to open up two shared accounts with the same hosting company, you should ask for different IP’s. So, RZ – IP1 represents the first Reseller Zoom account I opened. RZ – 2 represents the second one. HG stands for “HostGator.”

Main Domain    Theme    Type        Blog      Host             Sub          Swift Blogger
                                          Farm                      s #              Install
                                          ID         
domain1.com     Health     Regular    1          RZ – IP 1     25           Sbdomain.com/sb
domain2.com     Health     Regular    1          RZ - IP 1      25           Sbdomain.com/sb
domain3.com     Health     Regular    1          RZ – IP 2     25           Sbdomain.com/sb
domain4.com     Health     Regular    1          RZ - IP 2      25           Sbdomain.com/sb
domain5.com     Health     Regular    1          HG               25           Sbdomain.com/sb
domain6.com     Health         Main    1          HG                 0           Sbdomain.com/sb

That’s it for blog farms.

Now, you need to decide which type of blog farm you want to setup. Do you want to spread the blogs in a blog farm over multiple accounts or setup 1 blog farm per 1 hosting account?

Once you decide, go ahead and setup your domain accounts in your hosting control panels, then proceed to build your blog farms.

Remaining steps: From here, we just need to install your auto-blogging tool, do keyword research, and build and promote your pages.

Setting up Your Blog Farms (I)

Now that you have a blog installed on the root of each of your 100 ‘money’ domains, it’s time to setup your blog farms. We have 24 domains set aside specifically for this purpose.
To start, we’re going to setup 4 blog farms – one on each of the shared hosting accounts you signed up for. Before setting up your domain accounts on your shared hosting accounts, read through this section completely. Pay close attention to the “Advanced Blog Farm Strategies” section. Go setup your accounts after reading this section.

There are MANY ways to setup blog farms. Just realize that linking is going to be key here. A blog farm that is interlinked properly is going to be far more powerful than one that is not interlinked properly. As we progress I’ll explain in detail how to create an effective linking structure. I’ve even included some special videos to better demonstrate how to set things up.

Also, you want your blog farms to be as natural as possible. This means that for the first few weeks, you’re going to be posting real, quality content to them. You’re also going to need to gather some links from quality sources.

Think about what WP Burner does (www.wpburner.com). It basically blogs your links to a network of well-ranked WordPress blogs. Unfortunately, they charge an arm and a leg to do this.

What I’m going to show you now is how to setup your own network of Wordpress blogs that will get indexed and ranked, so that you retain total control. When you combine this with an auto-blogging tool like Swift Blogger you have a well-oiled, automated indexing machine on your hands.

There is no reason to go signup for a service like WP Burner when you replicate the technology yourself ☺.

More on promotion later. Right now, we need to get into actually setting up your blog farms properly.

First of all, what is a blog farm? Basically, it’s a set of blogs that are interlinked to form a blog network.

Below, I’ll explain how to setup a Hexagonal blog farm. Read through this section once without doing anything, then go back and follow the steps.

You’re going to repeat this process on all 4 of blog farms and shared hosting accounts.

The Hexagon Blog Farm – Themed



This is a method for setting up a blog farm that not only lasts, but also works wonders for getting your portal pages indexed and ranked. You can setup WordPress or Blogger blog farms (Blogger blogs hosted on your own server). Both are effective, but I highly recommend focusing the majority of your efforts on building WordPress blog farms as you remain 100% in control of your blogs. Keep in mind that it can take up to a month before your blog farm becomes ‘effective.’ This means that it takes awhile to get your blogs listed and ranked in the search engines. But once this happens, they become very powerful weapons for promoting your pages.

Here are some preliminary tips you should consider before building your blog farms:

Use a unique template. Have your own template designed then use it over and over, or at the very least use a template other than the default WP template. I’ve talked earlier about getting your own WP template created.

Put your picture on your blogs, as well as a short bio. Or, put up a family member’s picture (with their permission). You can even make up a bio and use a fake name…it doesn’t matter. Maybe put some pictures of yourself down the side of the blog doing something you like to do…for instance skiing or flying a kite (whatever you want). This makes the blog look real and it’s something that 99% of the ‘blog farmers’ out there aren’t doing! If you setup 5 unique templates in this manner, you can load them up into WordPressSuperInstaller and install them as many times as you want…automatically.

Important: How to choose a blog farm theme: DMOZ, or the Open Directory Project, is a very important place. They categorize things in a way that the search engines love, and it’s also a great place to find themes for your blog farms. The first step in creating a blog farm is to go to DMOZ and select a topic, such as Sports.

Now, You don’t have to ‘theme’ your blog farms. In fact, all of your blogs could be completely unrelated in terms of content. Your blogs will still probably get indexed and they’ll still be useful tools for promoting your “money” pages. However, themed blog farms are more effective than non-themed blog farms, so I highly recommend going this route.

Why are they more effective? Because you’re going to be interlinking blogs in your blog farm (that’s what creates a network). Sites on related topics that link to each other create more ‘relevancy’ in the search engines than non-related sites linking to each other.

So, your goal here is to create 3 high-quality blog farms that the search engines visit and continue to spider. If humans visited these blogs, they would have a good chance of passing a human inspection. The majority of portal builders out there are putting up ‘crappy’ blogs and still posting rss feeds. We’re not going to do that because we understand that each blog farm is an extremely powerful asset for getting indexed.

Now let’s get into the step-by-step procedure of setting up a blog farm.

You’re going to setup 1 blog farm now, then repeat this process for 3 additional blog farms.

1. Signup for a shared hosting account – we’ve already done that
2. Register domain names – we’ve already registered 24 domains for blog-farming purposes.
3. Go setup 6 domains on shared hosting account #1. Make sure your DNS settings are correct at ResellerClub.com.
4. Use WordPressSuperInstaller or another blog auto-installer of your choice to install a WordPress blog on the root of each domain.
5. Setup 2 subdomains on 5 of the 6 domains and install a blog on each of the subdomains. So, if your blog farm is about Health, setup two Health-related subdomain names, such as:
1. healthinfo.healthcenterblog.info
2. healthtime.healthcenterblog.info
1. It doesn’t really matter what you call your subdomains… just as long as they are related to “health.” At this point, you’ll have a total of 16 blogs installed – 3 blogs on each of your 5 domains, and then one blog on your 6th domain. So, it’s like this for blog farm #1:
1. Domain One: One blog on the root + 2 blogs on 2 subdomains
2. Domain Two: One blog on the root + 2 blogs on 2 subdomains
3. Domain Three: One blog on the root + 2 blogs on 2 subdomains
4. Domain Four: One blog on the root + 2 blogs on 2 subdomains
5. Domain Five: One blog on the root + 2 blogs on 2 subdomains
6. Domain Six: One blog on the root
7. Total blogs for Blog Farm #1 – SIXTEEN
6. Here’s where linking comes into play. On each of your first five domains (the ones with 2 additional subdomains), link to the two subdomain blogs from the sidebar menu, or the footer, of the main blog. If you setup your subdomains you install your blogs, you automate the interlinking process with WordPressSuperInstaller. If not, you’ll have to setup the sidebar links manually. So now, all three blogs on a given domain are interlinked. Again, do this on all five domains.

Installing Your WordPress Blogs

At this point, your domains have been registered and setup on your server.

Now, we’re going to install a WordPress blog on the root of each of the 100 ‘money’ domains you purchased. Again, don’t worry about your blog farm domains for now as we’ll get into setting up your blog farms later.

There are several programs/services out there that will install WordPress blogs for you automatically, at the click of a button across multiple domains. I use a program called  WordPressSuperInstaller (WPSI). It’s by far the best automatic wordpress installer out there in terms of features, speed and easy of use.

There are simple step-by-step videos on how to use WPSI. It’s very easy and will probably take you 15 minutes to learn how to use.

At this point, you need to go ahead and install your 100 blogs (one blog on the root of each domain).

It’s extremely important that your blog links to your internal pages.

Now, we have not created our internal pages ye, but that does not mean that we can’t setup a link to our internal pages from our blog. This may not make sense now, but it will in a minute.

Let me explain…

When you build your pages using RSSGM Generator or NC Generator (these are the page-building scripts included with this download), the scripts are going to create several sitemaps for you. These include mainsitemap.php and fullsitemap.php. Now, we haven’t built our pages yet. I haven’t even talked about using these generators, but just keep reading and you’ll know in a minute why I mention them here.

For a description of what these sitemaps are, read the instructions that come with the scripts.

Now, it’s very important that you link from your WordPress blog to one of your sitemaps. Why? Because when the spiders arrive at your WordPress blog, they will follow the link to your sitemap, which contains links to your other pages. In other words, you’re creating a funnel that the spiders can follow.

Now, even though you haven’t actually built your sitemaps yet, you know what they will be called. They will look like this:

 http://www.domain.com/mainsitemap.php
 http://www.domain.com/fullsitemap.php

So, you can link to your site maps before you have even created them because you the know the url before hand ☺.

In this case, we’re going to be linking from the sidebar of our blog to the mainsitemap.php. Don’t worry about fullsitemap.php for now.

So – how do we do this across all 100 of our blogs automatically, so that each blog is linking to the corresponding mainsitemap.php file for that domain?

Well, fortunately, WPSI has a feature built in that will allow you to do this.

Setting the Foundation of Your Portal

This guide is both an introduction and an advanced tutorial in portal building. At the end of this guide you will know exactly what it takes to build a network of profitable portal sites. This works whether you want to make $10, $100 or $1000.00 per day. You can repeat this process over and over again to continue to add income to your bottom line.

First of all, this manual is written with the assumption that you want to increase your AdSense earnings by $100 per day. I am assuming that you are currently earning $0.

Taking your AdSense income from $0 to $100/day quickly is going to take some investment up front. This means investing in the right tools, domains and hosting accounts. If you don’t have some of the tools listed below, that’s OK. But collectively they are going to make your life a whole lot easer. Here’s the list of tools we’re going to use in building our AdSense income:

•    RSSGM Wizard
•    DreamWeaver or any WYSIWYG editor
•    CuteFTP – cuteftp.com
•    Microsoft Excel – office.microsoft.com
•    AsRep (adsense tracking tool) – asrep.com
•    A Keyword list cleaning application
•    WordTracker
•    WordPressSuperInstaller
•    Linktator
•    Swift Blogger
•    Rss Submit Seo Version
•    Subscription to KeywordCountry.com

If you don’t have some of these tools, don’t rush out and get them just yet. Read through this manual first so that you understand what portal building is all about before making any purchasing decisions.

We’re going to build 100 “money” domains and we’re going to use the remaining 24 domains strictly for blog networks. If you’re not sure what a blog network (aka blog farm) is, don’t worry. We’ll get into it in more detail further into this document.

As far as choosing domain names, I recommend that you choose theme-specific domains. So, an example would be financedomain.org. This would be on the theme of “finance.” Another example is healthdomain.org. This would be on the theme of “health.”

With portal building, you don’t need to be that careful regarding which themes you choose. We are going to be building a lot of websites, so you don’t want to get caught up on this step. The fact is that some pages are going to earn you money and some won’t. The whole point of portal building is throwing up as many pages as possible. Some will stick and some won’t. But just keep building. That is the mindset for portal building success.

So, for your 100 “money” domains. I would suggest registering 25 Finance domains, 25 Health Domains, 25 Auto Domains, and 25 Technology domains.

Here are samples of each:

Financedomain1.org
Healthdomain1.org
Autodomain1.org
Technologydomain1.org

Obviously, you want to get a little more creative with your domain name. The trick is not getting too specific, while still sticking to a theme. You’ll see why we’re doing this later on, but here’s a brief explanation:

Your Finance domains might contain keyword lists relating to banking, mortgages, car loans, and taxes. All of those topics fall under the “Finance” theme. This is why you want the word “finance” in your domain name. If your domain was called “financetaxes.org” then it would be too specific. A better choice would be “financeresource.org,” or “financenewsforyou.org,” etc.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Terminology Check: when I say “site” I am referring to either a subdirectory or a subdomain on a domain. So, a domain can contain multiple “sites.” This is what subdirectories look like:

http://www.domain1.org/dogs
http://www.domain1.org/cats

This is what subdomains look like:
 http://dogs.domain1.org
 http://cats.domain1.org

If you don’t fully understand subdirectories or subdomains yet, don’t worry. We’ll be getting into them in a lot more detail. The remaining 24 domains are going to be used for your blog farms.

I’ll explain how to go about registering those in a minute. First, make sure that as soon as you’ve registered your 100 money domains, you copy and paste them into an excel file for tracking. We’ll use this document later. Name the document “First-100.xls.” At this point, your money domains should be registered and you should have the names loaded into column A of your spreadsheet.

It doesn’t matter how they’re formatted. Just load them in like this:

Domain1.org
Domain2.org
Domain3.org, Etc.

Registering Your Blog Farm Domain Names

You’re going to be building 4 blog farms (explained later) with your extra 24 domains. You’re going to use 6 domains per blog farm. This means you should choose 4 themes to build your blog farms on – one theme per blog farm. Your 4 themes should match the 4 themes of your money domains. In this case, we’ve chosen finance, health, auto, and technology.

Now, go ahead and register your blog farm domains around those themes. So, you would register:

6 Finance Domains
6 Health Domains
6 Automotive Domains
6 Technology Domains

These domains are going to consist strictly of blogs. Blogs talk about news, so a good domain name for finance might be:

Myfinancenewsblog.com, or something similar.
Again, you want to choose general themes here as I’ve described above.
Again, I’ll be talking much more about blog farms in a later section and it will become clearer why we’re choosing themed domain names for our blog farms.

At this point, you should have 100 themed money domains and 24 themed blog farm domain names. Your blog farm domains should be broken into 4 themed categories of 6 domains each.

Here’s a question I anticipate getting: “Is it really necessary to buy 100 domains?” My answer is: it’s hard to say. I want you to have the best possible chance of earning $100/day as quickly as possible, which is why I’m recommending 100 domains. If we buy 100 “money” domains then we need to make $1 per domain per day to reach our goal. This is realistic.

Now that you have your domains, it’s time to get hosting.

If you’re serious enough about this business to purchase 124 domains, then I assume you’re serious enough to get a VPS and/or dedicated server. In this tutorial, I’m going to recommend sticking your 100 domains on a dedicated box. You’re then going to need to signup for several shared accounts for building your blog farms.

Your Dedicated Server:



Liquid Web (www.liquidweb.com) is the only company I’ve ever purchased dedicated servers from and I’ve been more than happy with the service and the product they provide. Currently, I pay $208/per month per managed dedicated server.

If you want to follow this tutorial exactly, then save yourself the time and energy of hunting down the perfect deal on a server. Simply go signup with Liquid Web. Everything else you do from here on out will go smoothly because you’ll be using the same hosting service I use. However, if you do go hunting and find a better deal on a managed server, then please let me know ☺.

I use Webmaster Plan I found at this link:  http://www.liquidweb.com/dedicated/configure/webmaster/

When you click “Customize,” you’ll be able to add whatever options you want. I’m no server expert. The only option I select is cPanel.

You should get cPanel as your control panel. It will save a lot of hassle in the future.

Shared Hosting

For your blog farms, I recommend signing up for 4 shared hosting accounts. If you want to save yourself time, go to  ResellerZoom.com and signup for 2 different BudgetOne reseller plans. Before ordering, call up Reseller Zoom and ask that each of your 2 to 3 accounts be placed on different IP’s.

Then, go over to HostGator.com and signup for 2 different “Baby” plans. For all 4 accounts, you’ll probably be paying a total of $25/per month. This will give you two accounts on different IP’s (although possibly on the same class-c block) and two other accounts on a different class-c block.

There are LOTS of good shared hosting account deals out there. Do not spend a ton of time trying to find the perfect account. For the most part you’re just going to be putting WordPress blogs on these accounts and posting to them from an auto-blogger, which will be installed on your dedicated server.

Based on what I’ve described above, your total hosting cost will be around $230 per month. So, provided that you own the tools listed above (in the ‘Supplies’ section), your total cost for setting up the foundation of your business will be close to: Domains: $308 Hosting: $230 Total: $538 and $230 of that will be recurring each month. Of course, if you’re making $100/day, then $230/month won’t seem like much.

Once you’ve registered your domains and hosting accounts, you need to set the proper DNS settings in the ResellerClub control panel.

So, first, put your domains into categories. There’s info on how to do this in your ResellerClub account. Place your 100 domains into a folder named after your host. I might call this folder “Liquid Web First 100.”

Then, divide up the domains you want to use for each blog farm. In this tutorial, we’re going to build 4 blog farms, so divide your remaining 24 domains into 4 folders, perhaps:

1.    ResellerZoom Farm 1 - Health
2.    ResellerZoom Farm2 – Automative
3.    HG Baby Farm1 - Finance
4.    HG Baby Farm2 - Technology

Now, go setup your 100 money domain accounts in WHM on your dedicated server. Yes, this takes some time and it’s a pretty manual process. However, I know that there are scripts available that will do this for you automatically. I’ve seen a few of these mentioned in the PGInsider.com forum. One of them is Domain Dashboard (domain-dashboard.com). It’s a bit expensive, but it will save you the time and hassle of creating your domain accounts manually in WHM. Finally, load all of your domains and their FTP info into an FTP program such as Cute FTP ( cuteftp.com).

I have members of my family working with me now and they usually handle the manual process of setting up new accounts on WHM and loading them into CuteFTP. If you’re just getting started, then you may not have the luxury of outsourcing this task, but that could change quickly as you build your business.

Don’t worry about setting up your blog farm domains now. We’ll get into setting those up later.

Now, go login to  Google AdSense and setup a Channel for every one of the 100 money-domains you now own.

If you don’t have an AdSense account,  sign up for one here.
You can setup a channel for each of your blog farms too if you wish, although I have so many now that I don’t bother tracking. There are instructions provided in the Google AdSense membership area that explain how to setup channels.

Basically, a channel is a way to track the income of a single domain or groups of domains. You setup a channel, then assign your domain(s) to that channel.

As you earn more and more money in this business and continue to acquire domains, you’re going to run out of Channels. Google doesn’t provide infinite channels, unfortunately.

This is where a program like asrep.com comes in handy (Adlogger.com is another good one, and the one I currently use). It provides more sophisticated tracking than Google does and you can install it on each of your money domains.

Don’t worry about asrep or Adlogger for now. We’ll get more into this later, but I wanted to mention it here.

For now, just setup your channels in AdSense (and your AdSense account if don’t have one already).
