3 Easy Steps to Making Mini-nets

I’ve always liked stately trees with their widespread branches. It just reminds me so much of someone who’s in the peak of their lives, someone who’s life has influenced a lot of people and whose influence can be easily seen as shown by where the branch is anchored. Some branches can’t be traced easily though because of the tangle but nevertheless it is there.

Mininets are like branches for me. For those who don’t know what  mini-nets or (mini-networks) are as it suggest; it is a network of sites or blogs built to support one particular site that it wants to boost. So it’s like the trunk is the site that you want to boost and the branches are the mini-net of sites and blogs. What’s the advantage you ask of spending time on a lot of other sites you say? Well, obviously, its still about link-building. But unlike other methods, mini-nets shouldn’t be as blatant as the usual link building techniques. It’s subtler thus is considered a black hat technique for some, but the patience and the ingenuity in creating mini-nets isn’t something you usually see in black hat techniques, so I digress. Here are 3 easy steps to creating your very own mini-net:

  1. First, find free hosts. Since, these aren’t sites that you want to boost, I suggest that you don’t spend. But if you have to, just think of it as part of your investment.
  2. Second, build sites on these free hosts. Think of 10 or more sites with at least 10 or more articles, updated regularly (every other day, or once in 3 days will suffice). Make sure this is keyword rich and I’m pertaining to keywords pertaining to that one site you want to boost. WordPress can make this a lot easier for you.
  3. Lastly, interlink randomly. Do not link one site to each then link it back to that site. Rather, make random links. Site A can be linked to C and D. Then site E can be linked to A and F. etc.  Google isn’t stupid. It will know if you are deliberately trying to fool it. This article gives a great illustration of this.

Hopefully, if you do these steps correctly that is, you will end up with your mininets deep linking to your most important site.

    One note I have to add regarding mini-nets: you CAN interlink to your heart’s content and Google doesn’t seem to mind…IF all the sites are totally unique and show no signs of auto content generation. A network of totally human-created sites seems to be something Google ignores. Why? I actively work on one that has dozens of sites, with the same footer on all the sites – and they all link to one another. Many high-traffic sites in there. They all rank well and show no signs of losing. (BTW I wrote the article you link to in your 3rd point).
