As Yuan says, I’m not sure if duplicate content makes a big difference. I’ve seen the same PLR sites (you know the well known PLR articles) on dozens of sites and they are still indexed, but of course they will not all rank as well….

Don’t care about duplicated content, I duplicate the same content on 10 web 2.0 websites, most of them will be indexed by google, it doesn’t matter.

I have had this happen to me once too only it was the opposite, it was on monthly search counts. One day it said it got 9,000 searches a month and then a week later when I was reaching keywords it then said only 4,000.

I agree, Dusty. It is difficult to find good keywords for sniper sites. And even if you find what seems like a good one, you still may not rank very well or the product may not sell.

If I happen across a good KW here and there, maybe I’ll try a sniper site, but I think I have to mainly stick with building niche sites. It may take longer to see a profit, but I think there is more long-term value.

Yeah, outsourcing is tough. I just don’t have the budget to afford quality help.

It is so hard to find a good keyword to try and build a sniper site around. I spent two hours last night before I found a good one.

I have had ZERO luck with outsourcing. In fact the quality was so bad on the one project I tried that I was thinking of writing a few articles for others myself. This may help offset the cost of all of the domains I plan to buy in the next 6 months.
