First of all, one should decide: "What is a satellite?" ", because it has many meanings. According to Wikipedia, this is a hired bodyguard, and according to Wikipedia, Part II is a subsidiary site. Of course, we are not interested in hired ancient Roman bodyguards, but auxiliary sites.
Indeed, a satellite site is an assistant, an addition to the main site, many bloggers, and even site owners buy an additional one домен and they create similar resources in order to improve the performance and traffic of their main site. However, it is possible to create satellite sites without the main site, then you will have the main income on such sites from the sale of links on various exchanges.
Satellite can be:
Static. That is, a site on a free platform, such as blogger or, say, Tumblr. You just need to make a site in a couple of minutes, stuff it with copy paste and sell links from it, BUT! But in this way, the site will instantly fly out of the search results.
Dynamic. This is already a bit of a second conversation, here the person has already paid for the domain and hosting, and uploaded the site to the CMS. The probability that the site will fly out of the search is many times lower than that of dynamic ones, I have seen sites that were kept on bare foot paste for months and even years. Doors. The main point here is not selling links, but redirecting traffic from one site to another. Suppose you sell watches: there are no people, no traffic, no profit, no happiness in life either. Create a portal, for example, a blog about the times: describe models, compare quality and prices, and then unobtrusively throw a link to your online store. Well, the introduction is done, let's continue!
How to choose a theme for a satellite website?
The simplest question, actually. If when creating an excellent site that you hope for in the future, it is difficult to choose a topic: you need to take into account the competition, search queries, the amount of expected traffic, etc., then the satellite in this regard is just a fairy tale! In general, don't even think and don't bother. If you are making a satellite to promote the main site, then use a theme similar to it, if you are making a satellite site to make money, choose any broad topic that is close to you, here are my "three" leaders: Cars. health Finances.
First: links to such topics are expensive and relevant in any case, and secondly: these topics are more extensive than, say, folk medicine. In principle, you can take any topic, it doesn't matter, look at the stock exchanges, what topics are currently relevant and make a satellite based on it.
What should a satellite site consist of?
I know many people who created a satellite simply on a bare template. We installed WordPress, downloaded and installed the theme, and started creating content. This is primitive and stupid, even though the satellite is a platform for earning, it needs to be designed like a website for people. Therefore, be sure to install all widgets: calendar, clock, weather, in general, what you will find. Then make a simple logo. Be sure to install counters: metric, liveinternet, top of mail and rambler, and so on. We make site news, polls, menus.
In general, we make SDL (site for people). We are starting to create a satellite!
First of all, we think about the CMS of the site. Anyone who reads this article knows that WordPress is needed, and if someone came from a search, then know - install WordPress. Although, again, it doesn't matter what the satellite will be on, it's just that WordPress is convenient for me.
Then we design it properly, as it is written in the clause: "What should a satellite site consist of". Now the hardest, most boring, consuming your time and nerves is content. Content. Content. How much is in this word. Indeed, a lot - you will have to try very hard to create content. The main thing is not to make pure copy paste! Dilute the articles with rewritten or completely unique content, then your site will not get into the CSA.
We fill the satellite site with the right content! First of all, the volume: your article must have at least 1000 characters, this is the minimum threshold. One image is required for the article, and several images are better. We must supply the text with main tags and key requests, the article should have 1 main key request, as well as 2-4 tags to it.
We link the site: in one article we link to another. We turn off all comments, this is related to the fact that spammers who advertise their satellites flock to satellite sites like flies on *****.
We are launching a satellite site. Before getting the first income from it, it must be properly promoted. More often used:
Run through the catalogs. There are a lot of services for such things, search J Progon on social networks, bookmarks. This will not give you Tics or Pr, but it will significantly speed up the indexation of your articles. Buying links. The item is not obligatory, but if you want Tyts, then you will still have to buy the links. It's clear here - don't waste your money, buy the cheapest links, search by price (links)/quality (donor) ratio. Which domain to choose for the satellite site?
Definitely hard to say. There are two ways to go: 1 – buy a domain with a TTC, 2 – buy a clean domain and increase the TTC yourself. The domain zone does not play a role: it can be com, ru, or net - it doesn't matter. Decide for yourself whether you will overpay for a good domain, or, sacrificing your time, buy and promote a new one.
