Starting Your Niche Site With PLR
Well last time I discussed doing the keyword research so today we put that to use. First find a good keyword rich domain for your primary keyword.
Next I will use Expert WordPress to install a blog on my Host Gator account. It saves me time and the theme is ready for Adsense with one setting change and needs only a few minimal; settings to be tweaked.
Time to start posting so get my keyword tree and pick the first long tail keyword in the first category from the keyword tree. Search through the articles and find one that is similar to that specific keyword and use that as a basis to rewrite it quickly.
Tag the post with the long tail keyword, the category keyword and the main keyword and post it. Continue through the long tail keywords then finally the category keyword. Rinse and repeat over time until I have finished all the keywords in that order.
Once I have 10 or so posts on the blog I will pay someone to start adding each post into my traffic bug account which will bookmark and submit the main site to the various directories.
This will get some traffic started from the bookmarking and I will start looking at where traffic is coming from after the first month in my analytics account.
Following this it is easy to add 3 posts a day in less than an hour and if you are quick a half hour a day. You will get faster as you do more because you will be getting a better understanding of the niche.
Next time I will discuss driving traffic once I have the bulk of the initial posts done.

Great plan Mike.
I have a ton of PLR articles that I need to put to use and this looks like a great way to use some of them.
I am anxiously awaiting your next post to see how you drive more traffic to them once you have them posted.

Brett is so right, I think we all have a lot of PLR articles living on our hard drive that need to be put to use. Will be following your lead and seeing if I can get some of those articles working for me. Thanks.

That’s the biggest key to using PLR articles, Mike – rewriting them based on what you already know to be your most profitable keywords. Most PLR is authored by writers, not marketers, so it’s easy to out-perform those who just post the PLR as they receive it.

Thanks for these step by step guidelines on starting a niche site. I have a lot of PLR and next year I plan to develop a niche site. I will be saving the URL’s to your posts on this topic so I can come back and use your guidelines. I have installed one blog using Expert WordPress but I still have a lot of learning to do with the whole process. So setting up my first niche site will be a challenge but you help here will help to pave the way.

Question – Do you write the 10 or so blog posts all at once and schedule them to post at intervals, or do you rotate through your various blogs on daily or other basis?
I may do that or more but stagger the delivery to mno more than 3 a day initially but have not tried other timings. Would not just slam them all up and do like 30 at once.
Hey Mike,
I’ve often wondered if you can stop posting to a niche site so it becomes more of a static site. I know that would hurt traffic especially organic traffic but is that something that can be done for say a very obscure niche.
The drawback I see with that is the date in the blog post. It will look like the blog has been abandoned. Is there a way to not have the date show.

Two good questions one of which I will be addressing as the series continues. As to the date it is easy to edit the theme and remove that and I do on some sites and have for numerous ciustomers.
Thanks for the reply Mike. I look forward to the rest of the series.
