I really do like the way Jason’s offer is put together, with the sites, the articles, and the products all working quite well together. The first month’s offerings, at least, are very well written, which is a huge factor for me.

Quality of content is one of the reasons I do like Paul’s sites, and the main reason I have dropped so many private label site memberships — often after the first few months the quality of content begins to stink.

My secrets, if you can call them that, of getting sites indexed includes a few things. First, I’m lucky enough to have about a dozen PR4 to 6 sites to link to the new ones from. I just pick the most related sites I can and link.

Second, I’m lucky with domain names. I either grab something thats got a direct keyphrase connection, or one thats got the same keywords as an upcoming book in the same field by someone well known in that niche.

Third, I submit directly to Google. Seriously. That’s my biggest secret. When I use their submit a site form, my front page gets indexed in 2 days or less.

I guess using social bookmarks and Google sitemaps help get the rest of the sites indexed.

I do submit articles for about half the sites, but I find that it takes 6-8 weeks before the search engines pay any attention to them.

Incidentally, I’ve found that Big Mike style sites get better search engine placements when the links are on the right hand side.

I, too, buy Big Mike’s sites. Have several and bought a two-fer package in the summer. How did you go about letting the SEs know they were up if you don’t mind answering because you must know some secret? I had some articles written which I will submit through Article Marketer but not having a lot of luck. They are indexed but getting traffic is another story.

I do like his sites but sure don’t understand the structure of them. Maybe one day I will actually ask him.
