The most affordable way to create content is when you write it yourself.

Ross - I truly don't think it matters when you build a new site whether you start with 10 base content posts or 50 base posts. As long as your content looks complete. If you want G to see regular updates, I would say pub your posts and seed guides, then just add a new guide every few weeks.

Mark, One issue I have not gotten a clear consensus on regards how fast we publish our guides and reviews on our blogs. Is it okay to publish all at once, or, is it better to publish progressively (1-2 articles/reviews each day). The reason why I am concerned is I have heard that Google gives more weight to sights grown progressively, or organically.Whereas blogs which appear overnight completely populated may be considered spammy. Any Thoughts? BTW, your rank spanker report you did for me saved me mega time!!! -Ross-

@Mark - Hi Mark, Where do you look for images to use on your sites when you are building them? Thanks

@Mark - Mark - Makes a lot of sense. As a newbie also working a full time job, its quite a learning curve. I don't mind that as long as there is an "iron clad" process to follow. I only discovered your site about 3 weeks ago and I really appreciate the wealth of information you provide to make us all successful. I'm really looking forward to the video and the detailed post. Thanks, - Musqui

@Musqui - At this point, I do everything myself, but you have to remember, I have been a self employed web designer and webmaster for almost 15 years. I CAn see myself outsourcing some of it at some point, but right now, I want to make sure I have the process down myself. I do this in phases myself. - Once I order my content, I source ALL of the images and save them to my local drive. - Once I have all the images, I actually go into the system and build the entire site structure, including the posting of the images. - Once I get the content back, I add the posts... and start making them active on the site. - Once I have all the posts and then the guides active, I allow robots into the site. In total, it is roughly a 3 day process right now... from start to finish. I will have a detailed post about this within 1-2 days... Mark

Mark - Besides using TextBrokers for your content, do you plan to outsource any of you WP work and image sourcing once you've tweaked the template you have for bike racks? I know you have settled on posts rather than pages and plan to send out a how-to video etc. Are you using any webmasters for any of your sites? If yes, can you make any recommendations? Thanks, -Musqui

I've just seen that over on digitalpoint you can get a $5 credit against a new account. With Mark's permission may I place the link to it http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1366403. I joined Digital Point and then sent a PM saying that you (Mark) had recommended them. You never know you may get a little something from them.
