The EPN Redundancy Experiment is a half case study, half test of the “scraper sites” method. I’ll be launching roughly 70,000 blogs which are each completely automated to see what kind of results I can bring in via EPN. All of these blogs are 100% link-spam free, no cloaking/cookie stuffing, and points the visitor directly to the product they were looking for. In other words, these are an A+ on the scale for “user experience”.
The goal for this will be I want other domains to pick up the slack when the earlier ones go down. The main achievement I’m going to attempt to achieve will be “rolling commissions”. This means when the sites are penalized (if they do get penalized) and go from 300-400 uniques/day to <100, I want another domain to step up index wise and take over. For this redundancy experiment I’ve chosen to use a number of domains under 10, but each will contain roughly 1000 sub domains that all have automatic content updates & product pushes.
This will be an experiment to see how much in commission I can receive by the 30th of next month. Let the fun begin!





I’ve never seen an initial burst of 300-400 uniques a day for my phpBay sites. What sort of traffic strategies/link building are you using to kick things off?
To be honest, I only throw maybe 40 links at each. It’s all dependent on other factors such as inward linking, proper internal anchors, and a LOT of pages.
40 links, eh? I kick off my white hat sites with a bookmarking run from Red_Virus, and I’ve never seen that level of traffic. It must be the pages/internal linking. I’ll have to work on that.
Leave your AIM SN or Yahoo, whatever here and I’ll take a peek at one of your sites for you if you want.
My AIM SN is the same as my e-mail username.
This is really interesting! My friend has just written a CMS for the phpbay api and reckons it will take about 20hrs to do 1000 sites.
I am interested how you got those bursts of traffic as well.
David, waiting for you to get on.
Andrew, that’s if it’s done by hand. It’s kind of a “OMG SKYNET” type of thing with what I’m doing, but I have scripts that create scripts that create sites. This way one call literally means 1000 sites that all roll out simultaneously and all have their own content streams.
Well, this kicks the crap out of my 8 phpBay sites…lol
40 links to 70,000 blogs is aroung 2,8000,000 links…
Wow!
Hey,
Nice blog here. Just found it coming over from wickedfire.
I would love to know how you do that ‘experiment’. If you keep your methods a secret, I understand. If you have anything you can share, I would love it if you could email me.
Thanks a lot.
P.S. How much revenue has your experiment generated so far?
hey Contempt,
do you build 70,000 blogs instantly or do you have a “drip feed” system to appear more natural?
Thanks.
OMG! 70,000 blogs…under what kind of time frame? 1 month? Would be interesting to follow you through to see how this will turn out. All the best!
