I recently purchased a license for Steady Niche, a quick and easy niche site building php script. It auto generates all the pages and you just fill in your desired keywords, title tags, and add your affiliate information like Adsense publisher code, and Ebay PID.
So, step one after buying the license. Installation. I have two hosting accounts, and I had two Wii themed domain names. So I figured one in each account was a good plan. The first hosting account is basically a GoDaddy reseller. I have read that there are problems running certain php based programs on GoDaddy hosting if you have the low level account, but I have a Deluxe account so I figured I was safe. You know what they say about assuming. Yeah, it didn’t go as planned. I’m working with my host to get this figured and get the IonLoaders working properly, whatever those are. http://wiipartyaccessories.com/ this is the current result;
Not very sexy is it? Yeah wasn’t real thrilled with that and I don’t have the php knowledge to figure out how to fix the problems … but I think it has something to do with the hosting type. Hopefully working with the host I can get it working on that domain name.
Onto the second installation on my other hosting account, which is a Host Gator hosting account. This went smoothly. I uploaded everything via ftp and it worked on the first try. All I had to do was edit the config.php file to tweak the keywords and add my Adsense pub ID. There were no problems at all getting things uploaded on this hosting. You do need to make sure you ftp in Binary mode (which seems to be the default, I had never noticed before now though.) http://www.bestwiidownloads.com Here is how this one is looking right now.
Much better, and fully functioning except for the Products page which seems to be pulling an error. I’ve asked for some help with that over at the Steady Niche member’s area since other folks seem to be having the same problem as well.
Stay tuned for more about this interesting niche site building program. In Part 2 We’ll talk about customization … as soon as I figure that part out -lol-

PLR Content, Niche Content Stores & More…
Where does the time go? I can’t believe that this year is almost over already. I have accomplished much of what I wanted this year and now I am feeling urgency to do more before January hits.
I have been sorting out my PLR content so I can see what can be used and where. I have files on my hardrive, back up cd’s and a thumb drive. I find working with PLR content so much easier than writing from scratch. It has been wasting away on my computer for far too long, time to start using it all!
I have many projects going on at once, but that is the only way I can work. I get bored easy and need several sites to work on. Some say its crazy and maybe it is, but it works for me. Last week I got up two new blogs that have been on my to-do-list forever. I have two more to get up and two Niche Content Stores and then I am taking a break from creating anything *new.*
I have also been updating blogs and adding new content/affiliate products in between. I have been busy, busy, busy and yet I somehow feel like nothing is getting done. Before you say to write it down - I want to assure you your head would spin if you saw all my to-do-lists - I do write it down. That doesn’t mean however, that it gets done. Sigh.
In the middle of building and updating I dusted off an e-book in my main niche that I started *years* ago. I am determined to get it released for the New Year. It’s about time. Ok, this is turning into a rant of sorts, rather than being helpful so I will end here ;)
Niche Marketing Journey
My very good friend Belle, has started a new blog called Niche Marketing Journey. While the blog is still fairly new, its definitely one you should add to your favorite reader. She plans to test various different blueprints, e-books and reports to see what works and what doesn’t.
I find the honesty not only helpful, but refreshing. I was reading a few blogs (that I have since stopped reading) that praise and promote e-books and blueprints that I was sort of surprised to see them embracing full heartedly, but thats another post, for another day.
If you are looking for an honest review that will offer the good, bad and ugly side of internet and niche marketing, join Belle on her niche marketing journey.
Why You Need to Rewrite Your PLR Articles
You have just acquired some PLR content. But how do you use it to best advantage while avoiding potential roadblocks? Search engines are trying to feed surfers relevant results. To do that, along with other things, they have to scan the on-page content. If you think that having the same content on two different sites gives you two chances to be ranked high in the results, think again.
Search engines have complicated algorithms, but one thing is certain: if the exact same content is used across multiple websites, you can suffer a duplicate content penalty. Rewriting PLR content is the best way to deal with that problem. It takes a little more work, but it’s a sure bet and it still beats writing from scratch.
It’s difficult to know exactly how much to change, but even changing only 10% of the content can easily put you in the clear. Out of a 500 word article, that’s only 50 words - less than one paragraph’s worth over all. Easy Peasy.
Tailoring the content has another advantage. You can give your site a unique ‘flavor’ by modifying the PLR article to something that sounds more like how you would write.
When you rewrite your PLR articles, you are guaranteed to stand out from your competitor. This will help keep visitors and customers loyal, because then you are the only one in the world with exactly that content. After all, there are lots of actors in the world, but there’s only one Robert DeNiro.
Of course you could avoid the duplicate content issue entirely by writing every article from scratch. But that’s time consuming and not everyone has the interest or ability. To run a successful site, you have lots of things to do every day. Whatever time you spend writing, you’re not doing those other things. I for one do not have the time or the want. Modifying content IS so much easier than writing from scratch.
Quality counts, too. You may not have the ability or interest to write great content, content that attracts visitors and backlinks. Even if you can, it takes time to do well. If you don’t take the time, you’ll end up with content that isn’t polished. That turns people off. Not a good business strategy.
It’s much quicker and easier to modify good quality content to avoid a duplicate content penalty and make it your own than it is to fix up junk. You can polish good chrome to a shine in a few minutes. If it’s rusty, you’ll spend all day!
PLR content vendors vary a lot. Niche Content Packages, is one of the best quality PLR sites and has always been my favorite. They have been online since 2005 and they hire only the best professional writers to give you the best content. They are definitely worth the investment in your business.
