W Revenue dot ComDouble Your Site’s Revenue - Scott Wainner on Web Business

$1,000 Contest Winning Ideas Announced

Winner: Funnyexamanswers.com with his elementary SEO rel=nofollow tip. After reading this suggestion, I realized that I’m not using rel=nofollow ANYWHERE, and I’ve started paying more attention to where I’m sending link juice.

2^nd Place: Domtan. I liked several of his ideas including, turning AllEnthusiast.com into a “mothership blog” (though I’d more likely turn it into an automated content portal, showcasing content on my other sites), putting keywords into logo image names, missing alt/title attributes in images,

3^rd Place: Woody Hayday at critix.co.uk. His idea(s): “With photopost you could potentially expand it using subdomains/user content. If you provided a way that your users could create a gallery on theirname.photopost.com this would perhaps add another form of revenue from this product. You could provide this subdomain gallery free and include advertisements for revenue or otherwise charge.

Another Idea I thought of, in a sort of related way would be to provide “world photos” - a site that houses photographs that are geographically linked to a co-ordinate. That way everyone could compare eiffel tower photographs or discuss landmarks.”

I had already thought of doing a photo sharing gallery at PhotoPost.com (either johnsmith.photopost.com, or a huge portal gallery indexing photos from all PhotoPost powered sites), but props to Woody for thinking of this because it’s a very evolutionary idea.

Runner-up ideas that I really liked:

Chipseo with his “I can’t find any about pages on any of your sites” tip. Yes I agree, and this isn’t intentional.

Fili - optimizing robots.txt for wordpress.

Turk Hit Box – Using icons instead of repeat “Very Satisfied”, and “Satisfied” text on ResellerRatings reviews pages to improve keyword density.

From the looks of it, there are an absolute ton of SEO savvy marketers reading W Revenue. I know how to build successful, automated, user generated, and profitable sites, but SEO is not my strength, so this is a great opportunity to exchange knowledge here. If anyone has any follow-up ideas regarding SEO or anything else, I’m more than eager to hear them and your suggestions will be helping all W Revenue readers.
