Hi Ed and Everyone...

>If so, how does that help us? Don't we still have to drive
>traffic to the the search engine site we just created?

Yep, you still need to drive traffic, just like with any other type of content.

There are a number of ways to benefit from Fatty.

- Create a number of "niche" search engines. This is actually pretty simple.

If you have a site about "cars" but a fatty search box and state "check out our cars search engine". Then use a cars skin, with car graphics and links to more car searches.

And if you have a Christian site, do the same thing...Create a search box that uses a "Christian" skin, that also contains relevant links to other related searches.

You don't even have to install Fatty more than once to do this...However, if you check your keywords file (Fatty 2.0 only) and find your users are serching for one niche alot, install another instance of Fatty and create your own custom text/data files, filled with quality hand-picked links.

You can also turn the search results into "pages", as covered on the "#4 Making Pages" thread.

Eventually (soon, but not now) I will cover turning Fatty pages into static pages.

I will also post tons of places where you can host your content for FREE.

Mix the two together, and you have a self-linking strategy that spans numerous IP.

Again, we'll get into this later, after folks have mastered making pages.
