Freesite Templates - a Little Rant

[Jel]

Playing Devil's advocate here:

What if I'm targetting a 3 word keyphrase (I thought all fs builders chose their titles this way?) and jan 1st I use the template with title 'my wife's tits', then feb 1st I use the same template, and same title on a different domain, again going for that keyphrase? I've done this myself, usually no more than twice, and definitely not more than 3 times, but now I'm worried I've been banned for using what I'd have thought was a legit tactic

Hey Jel,
I do that all the time with AVS feeder sites, why not? I rarely submit feeder sites though. I just do them to use the AVS traffic and give an SE boost to premium sites
So this is totally unrelated, hmmm... bedtime in my corner of the planet

Jel - think about what you just said from a SE point of view - "I own three domains and each of them has exactly the same set of keywords and are named the same and have exactly the same text content owned by the same owner" - do you think that will work in the SE's ?

When I go through sites like this - and not referring to yours specifically as I dont think you were involved in this - what I see is a free site submitter putting up the same template and using the same text and title over and over - to the tune of 10 sites with exactly the same title - although spread across categories - and exactly the same template - looks to a reviewer like they are just to lazy to change the text and titles

I am talking with completely different text Well, not completely, but with hopefully enough changes as to make a difference. I'll also use a different template, but same title & target phrase, across a couple of domains, so my first post was probably a bit inaccurate.

Good to hear that it wasn't my sites though
