The Value of a Huge NetWork:

I know of two people right now that are creating blogfarms with thoughts of selling links throughout.

Eli's SQUIRT service is $100 a month which is pretty much a network similar to the one we'll build.

By building your own network, you will be creating a very valuable resource, one that has extreme value. If you can get pages into the engines quickly, sometimes within minutes, you have something of value.

It is really worth it to do the "grunt work" to build a well-planned network and these can become very valuable resource.

Planning is basically:
1. Find resources that can either use RSS or create RSS, preferably both.

2. Keep a list/spread sheet of the URLs for all the RSS pheeds you have.

3. Create a few "main" RSS pheeds very early in your building. Plan on adding one of these pheeds almost every site you create in the future.

I suggest right now you create 3 files:
main.rss
main2.rss
main3.rss

Don't worry about what's in them at this point, just upload them, one each to different IPs if possible.

Now you have three URLs to these pheeds:
http://one.com/main.rss
http://two.com/main2.rss
http://three.com/main3.rss

As you build your network, you want to plan on adding at least one of these RSS pheeds in everything you do. As you add new stuff you just modify your main RSS pheeds and all your resouces will update with your links without you have to go to each resource.
