Target 5 K a Day Week 1 of 52 Phase 5KAlpha1
First off, thank you all for your comments, criticism and appreciation. I will quickly answer a few questions. Having a few sites with more content or have more sites with niche content is always debatable topic. I personally had success in past with both strategies, so am not against either of them. However for this specific project, our strategy is plain and simple. Build 5 K site with niche content. We had mega content rich sites that used to make 1 K a day and we had our success with highly SEOed keyword oriented small sites (which most of visitors will term as crap) as well. However this project is different. It is to build 5 K sites with original content mostly. Indeed a few sites may eventually do even 100$ a day. But I had set a very realistic target of just 1 $. It is because of my personal belief that you should never miss any target at all. With good content site, it is hard to miss 1$ a day target. Isn’t it. Sure more money, more happy I am. So anyway, here is the official start of project 5K.
To begin with, we have divided the project in different phases. First phase of the project is called 5KAlpha. This phase will involve building, maintaining and managing 100 sites. By the end of September the development phase will be over. Then the site will be handled to maintenance team that will include One Content writer and two part time webmasters. In the development phase, I am working sixteen hours a day along with a web designer. Each and every single strategy user id/ passwords are well documented and backup taken.
Alpha phase is further divided into Ten sub-modules. First submodule is 5KAlpha1. This module consists of building Ten blogs. The blogs is specifically targeting niche segmented area in mortgage market. Here is a sample time-line for phase 5KAlpha1.

Obviously owning 5k sites would not be looked favourably by the search engines!. What would be your strategy to minimize the foorprint among the 5k sites?.
