Riding on Free Backlinks (and Monetizing It)
I was looking through the comments for the previous post, and Char gave an example of her permalink structure, citing “domainname (dot) com / postname”.
For the record, domainname (dot) com is an actual domain. And it has a decent PR6, Alexa 153,000.
Imagine 500 bloggers or content publishers citing that example and reproducing the link on their site every month…
That would add up to a significant number of backlinks would it?
And by extension, you can leverage on your Google PR by pointing at your other domains, or selling text or banner links through PlanetAndrea’s banner/text brokering services.
Sounds compelling, doesn’t it?

They manage many different portfolios, but there are scores of people with thousands of domains, some in the hundreds of thousands. They set up park pages on all of those domains to monetize type-in traffic and collect example backlinks. Then they sell the properties to someone that wants the name or to SEOers that want the PR. Fascinating industry.

the online world is just as ‘real’ a world as the offline one.
consequently we’ll see more business models evolve as we move further along.
my buddy, Zach Bastick, over at DomainSocial.com bundles bunches of domains together by themes and put them up for sale.
From what I see, the prospect of bundling 100 poker-related domains together and offering them at a premium many times your intial investment is something that goes beyond the typical adsense/affiliate business model.
Likewise, the arbitrage,er, affiliate/SEM/SEO strategies that folks like Shoemoney and Jon F/Wicked Fire folks employ are equally interesting (and lucractive too).
