I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries from existing clients and potential clients as well asking me about the ContentMinisites.com offering… Why is it so cheap, is it any good, etc. Well, I’ll just let the following screenshots / results do all of the talking and just summarize things real quick once and for all because somebody has to.

As you can see, the very first example domain I used is banned over at Google and only one or two of the actual “content pages” are indexed at the other two engines, Yahoo and Bing.  If you also visit the site itself, Google AdSense ads aren’t displaying either. I highly doubt any traffic is being generated, and obviously no revenue earned.

Why all these problems? Because the content is not unique. It is scrapped / syndicated from 3rd parties. The search engines do not like these sites, and why should they? There is nothing special or unique about them whatsoever and besides MFA (made-for-adsense) sites are so 2005. That is when they were hot. These days, they are not. They are old news, and only get you in trouble as you can see.

So sure, the price for 1 of these “content minisites” is dirt cheap, only $49 and with 10 the price drops to $34 or 50 – 100 as low as $25 or $19 per site… But really, it’s a waste of time, money and resources. I don’t understand for the life of me, why would somebody buy one or 10 or 50 of these sites.

Don’t believe what I say? Visit all of the homepage showcase / demo sites… Query them in Google and the other two search engines as well. There is your answers, my friends. I could go on and on about this stuff, but there really is no point. The results are all there for you to examine.

These content minisites do more harm than good at the end of the day and you couldn’t even pay me enough $$$ to put up any one of these on one of my own domains. Nope! Not $10, $100 or $500. They are no good unfortunately and not sure why they are even being offered for sale. Two words; buyer beware.
