250 Site SEO Empire
Network of sites designed to earn through adsense & eBay
Summary
What started out as an link-building network, soon became an addictive side-project. My intention with this network was to bolster the SEO of a portal website I was making to compete with AutoTrader in the UK. While the SEO skyrocketed, the service didn’t reach product market fit and was ultimately shelved.The network of car related sites remained for almost 10 years making significant money each month with minimal input from me. This allowed me to travel a lot and learn coding and writing skills which prepared me for bigger projects.

Ultimately this became a network of over 250 websites, which covered a range of car-related topics:
- Modified cars
- Specific sites for almost all car brands and models
- Car colour communities, e.g. ‘Pink Cars’
- A mixture of content (articles) and car auction listings (fuelled by eBay Partner Network)
Skills learned
What started out as an SEO proposition soon became the main business revenue. Along the way I got into the deep nitty gritty of Google rankings, SEO, and affiliate marketing.
- Programatic SEO (pSEO)
- White/Greyhat SEO
- Localisation
- Affiliate marketing
- Making actual revenue from Google Adsense and other display ads
Highlights
