Target 5 K a Day Feedback and answers

Monday is fast approaching, when I will enter in actual implementation of what is going to be one of the biggest project of my life so far.

Before I go into my preparations, I will quickly cover feedback I received so far. A few people expressed shock that I will litter the web with 5000 sites. The people whose shock was genuine, my answer is no I am not building 5000 scrapper sites. I am building 5000 unique content sites that will be maintained and managed by 300 people. Its not littering instead it is contributing to web. The people who just express shock because of jealously for them here is my middle finger. Also I got suggestions from many people including some very talented and famous people on the net. Almost all the people opined that instead of huge number of sites; build lesser number of sites with more content. It is a debatable issue always. However my line of thinking is if a person is looking for “Reverse Mortgage” or looking for information related to HELOC, a big Finance portal probably won’t give him the right answer. Go to Bankrates.com and try to find out information about HELOC, it will be almost impossible to even find out the definition of HELOC. However if you have a small web-site that does not talk about refinance, that does not talk about Home equity, all it talks about HELOC, it better serves the purpose.

Indeed the way web is going (that is google driven), most of the strategies are being made keeping in mind likes and dislikes of Big G. Even considering that case, may be building lot many smaller sites is a better idea. It may happen down the road, no one has seen the future, if I build a big enough site and some of jealous people find out the site name (like a few people mentioned in phase 1). They may start doing blog spam for the site and then complaint to big G accusing us of doing blog spam. Big G will ban my mega site and I will be left with liability of 300 people who are dependant upon me for their bread and butter. It had happened to me in past and so am being extra careful this time.

A few people emailed me criticizing about me so obsessed in making money. Heck I am not communist. I am a thorough capitalist and any given point of day I would love to die with billion bucks below my mattresses instead dying penniless on street.:)

Hope it answers all the questions. Again everyone’s feedback is very vital for our mission and I will keep my level best to share the information with all readers. Closing the post with Barry’s favorite dialog “SHOW ME DA MONEY”
