Well, I think it would be a good idea to at least customize and finish the one you have especially if you did buy a domain for it. That’s what I am doing with one of them. then I am using their method for several Niches I did myself. I also intend on doing a couple more they did, but I am totally customizing the website. the genealogy niche and the speed cleaning niche. I know people want those things so I am going to totally customize those.
I heard Adams podcast with Yaro Starak and I really liked the theory. I built a site before I joined NPC and its been up and running for one month, and I have had 4 sales. not a lot but then again I am getting about 8-15 visits per day. so I think that’s not too bad for not having a lot of traffic.

You’re so correct about this. I also tried out that course you’re mentioning and while I’m on page 1 with some keywords, I haven’t had a single newsletter or sale signup yet. So I kinda just let it sit there, not knowing whether or not I should throw in a few more hours working on it, trying to make it unique – because the competition for those “ready made niche packages” are soooo big now, that I wonder if it’s worth it.

Never the less, I learned a thing or two about niche marketing.

I think you are right, if the sites are similar in age, the one with the better keyword phrases, better link and link anchors would probably rank higher in a search index. Yeah I didn’t mention that google frowns on it as I guess I assumed everyone knows this, but I forget they dont.
Yep that was my thread in the NPC forums.

also I think duplicate content has two threads. Duplicate content on the same site will apparently get you in trouble with google. Never done it but I can see why they would frown upon it (at least deindex your site). The other duplicate content that you describe is just similar content on different sites so in theory if your site has the most links it would rank higher provided the ages of the sites are similar, no ?

Hey, this internet place is a small world. I was reading your post in the NPC classroom forum about niches last night. And today I was looking at a blog about the inglorious bastards movie review and saw your comment. Just had to click through. I’m still pretty new to NPC but like you say, using their pre-built packs is best for seeing how the system works rather than trying to sell the products themselves. Unless you modify them significantly.
