How long does it take you to make a FS?

neveremail · 2006-06-08, 06:41 AM

My best is built and submitted in 1 hour - but usually it takes 1.5 - 2hrs. Each FS has about 100+ words of unique text per page and is keyword optimized. Submit to 65 LLs and some BBS and linkdumps too. Also make a blog post for the freesite too (also with 100 words). On average i submit 5-6 freesites a week.

Of course there is always the extra time of building the templates in the first place, finding good sponsors to promote, getting the content, managing the submit database, and gradually replacing templates and sponsors that don't convert with ones that do.

Making the freesites good for SE traffic only adds about 30mins to the total time and is well worth it. From freesites alone I am building a network of niche sites which are regularly updated and have a lot of pages with unique optimized text.

I personally get enough content for 4 sites done in a batch. Then build a free site from scratch which takes about 1.5 hours but then change the look, retarget the keyword text, add the new content, all done 3 times, so by the end I have four different new free sites that I can submit one a month for the next four months. All that takes 2.5 to 3 hours.

Each time I pick a new paysite to make free sites for I get all the content in order, make the thumbs. etc, I usually spend a whole day doing that, but then I have content and thumbs and all that good stuff ready to go for usually at least 20 sites or so just for that paysite. I make my designs pretty simple and clean but I write ALOT of unique text for each site, usually a good size paragraph for each page. On a pretty simple one I can make it in a little less than an hour on my more elaborate ones it can take a little less than 2 hours, but usually its around an hour and 10-20 minutes. I submit a free site every single day, but I try and build at least 2 a day, 2 a day I consider a decent day, 3 a good day, any more than that and its an awesome day

There have been days where I have built more than 5, I think a couple days I have built 7 or more. I submit a free site every single day, so I obviously am building more than I can submit but I do take the weekends off from building and since the weather has got nice I have been slacking really bad on building. What I build and cant submit yet I just incorporate in my network of sites I am starting and it sits there waiting for its turn to get submitted. For example the site I submitted today I built in March

Submitting is really quick and easy for me, usually takes less than 10 minutes since I have only been submitting to 12-15 sites and the handy dandy robo form. I do plan on expanding my submit list to around 30 and make a mirror, but I havent figured out yet how to exactly go about that just yet.

Might as well jump into this too.

It takes me 4-5 hours to build a freesite, but I'm very anal, and so are about half of the freesites I make. |worm
