DangerDave, you say dont mirror entrances......so you mean I should concentrate on say 8 LL's for the default index and not use any more LL's?

- Yes thats' what I meant.. and Linkster is correct with the "duplicate content" reasoning.. One of the hardest things some webmasters find ..is the shift to NOT focussing on sheer numbers for traffic.. You are aiming for quality keyword targetted surfers.. not 10,000 link clickers looking for tits.

would a free site with say 100 pics be better than a 20-30pic one
|
- IMO stick with the formula... 20-30 pics.. maybe a bonus movie or something.. You still dont want to waste resources or give them "everything" they are looking for .. you still want to tease them into heading for your sponsor.

isnt it abit of a waste of a domain to build 1 free site on it and then move on to the next domain
|
- you can still use the domain for other things... galls, free sites,AVS etc... but then you can link these back to the root of the domain where your quality SE free site is.. and give it a little more link pop/relevance.
..and NO you dont HAVE to use the root of the domain and sub-dir will work just as well.

the approach that im using right now I i have 1 domain and use the root as a hub and build free sites in directories......
|
If that is NOT working try the site in the domain root approach and see if you have more success.

Some of you guys have over 100 domains, so you cant be building lots of free sites on each domain
|
I dont build LOTS of free sites... I build "many" quality sites(from an SE point of view). It is an ongoing process and having a few domains lets you pick and chose where you are going to build.

what if I was to buy say 5 niche domains and make the root of them a hub in that niche
|
- Nickname, I see alot of webmasters do this and then fall into the trap of listing hundreds of sites on their hubs, with little or no qualifying/anchor text. A page of lnks is just a page of links.. and not really seen as "valuable/relevant" by the SE's(espec. Google). IMO if you build the "hub"(I hate that word!) on the domain root, keep the number of sites listed < 80-100(I would, in fact, only list about 20), make sure each has a nice long RELEVANT text description, and some supporting text for the page itself.
DON'T
spam keywords in hidden text
spam keywords in heading tags
over do single keywords or keyword phrases
Chose your PRIME keywords BEFORE you build the page... and use them wisely.
