Apologies for any delays

Posted on March 22, 2009

miniBlogs.co.uk is nearly finished!

There are just a few things I need to finish up but the service is pretty much ready.

I’ve been advised that my prices are too low and from research I’m starting to think the same. However, for now I’m going to stick with these prices so if anyone has questions, now’s the time to ask.

I believe I mentioned in my last post I too use “miniBlogs” to create nice looking, SEO optimized sites quickly and I have taken a few approaches in the past. I’ve built pure content sites targetting longtail finance keywords, for example, and done pretty well considering time spent and ROI. I’m also testing out a script that populates blogs with affiliate products from a CSV file. I haven’t yet had time to push that script hard but that’s another potential great way to monetise a miniBlog. The downsides to it in my opinion are that I would like it to not post all products in one go, ie time-stamp each post, use some sort of API that checks on price changes and updates each post and so on. However, with affiliate companies like Affiliate Window and Amazon with their content widgets, a script like the above may be redundant. Then again, if you had a post with keywords optimized for that longtail product name then you should fare better in the SEs, right?

As soon as I can, I’m going to find a programmer and start to develop my script idea(s) so stay tuned!

When I say my goal is to make miniBlogs a place that domainers and SEOs (anyone really) can come to monetise domains, I mean it. Obviously, the more people who use the service, share what else they feel they’d need, and the more I experiment with my own sites, the more miniBlogs will be improved upon. I still have ideas that I don’t think are included in most services like my own and I’m excited to see what others think. I’ll be posting about them later.

I should have miniBlogs ready for business by Tuesday next week. Thanks for your patience. As always, please comment or contact me and I’ll get back to you with more info.
