Adsense Micro Niche Sites: Use WPMU for management or not?

[LegitAM]

Hey guys, I'm looking to tap inthe the microniche sector and start building out a few hundred micro niche sites. Management is one thing that has concerned me, what do you guys use to manage all your WordPress micro niche sites?

Do you use WPMU/Network? If not, what do you use?

Thanks!

Don't do that!
My first advice, don't start with 100 sites. That's very difficult to manage.
Start with 10-20 sites.
Use c-class IP hosting
Register domains with Privacy.
Don't insert adsense until your site gets some traffic & visitors.

depending on your budget lease a outsourcer to keep an eye on them for you. Ideally one with SEO knowledge. 100 sites at $1 a day will pay his bills.

Ask every month for your rankings for the Niche sites, get him to build links to them, add articles and make sure they are running smooth.

Think a decent one at $1k a year gives you a nice profit margin and niche sites that will keep getting updated, built upon and heck if he has time build you more.

What size local/global exact match should I be targeting? What's a good CPC to target?

I've read a few instances where people say to target 1500+ local exact, but 1500 seems pretty low to me. Thanks for all the help guys, I'll probably be starting a log or progress thread here to see how I do.

Right now I have a VA who can do 5x500 word articles per day, has all the seo tools (I have them as well on my computers and VPS), and is doing keyword research for EMDs for me.

Thanks again!

there are better brains on this then me, I suggest you track down secretagentdad here on the forum and grab EMD domains and KW's from him.

I havent used him yet but it sounds like a good service

I already have a VA doing tons of keyword research, just wondering what volume most of you generally look for as a starting point for MFA keywords.

have domains and hosting not only private but from different accounts and companies ie godaddy, bluehost etc

i am using wpmu

disadvantage- you cant clone the sites externally, which is a pain when you sell the sites.
advantages- i create 10 sites per day cause of wpmu. you can easily clone sites internally.

its really easy to manage using wordpress mulltisite, only main concern is ip addresses are not class c.

depends wholly on ctr for the niche, which is, in my experience, all over the place from one niche to the next.
