Looking for Database Driven Site Ideas
I have been thinking a lot lately of the power of database driven sites. I have 3 unique ideas for database driven site…. each one is very unique but bring me much needed traffic. Using database sites enables you to get traffic easier than you otherwise would. It is much easier to rank for a hundreds of keywords a day when there are millions of combinations. I have a php script written that will show the many combinations to google… on the page I have ads for whatever I am promoting. They range from cpa (cost per action) ads to clickbank ads… I even have some Commission Junction ads thrown in there. Database sites are easier to get into google.. Typically the more pages that are indexed, the more traffic you will recieve. I have been experimenting with aged, high pr and domains with a lot of backlinks… Once I acquire these domains, I keep a detailed account of the characteristics of each domain. I then add the php code that creates the “pretty” pages for the data and promote. Some of the domains started recieving traffic within a few days of adding the code, mainly because of the existing backlinks and page rank. Database sites are a very good way to get a small chunk of the big pie…. it is a very challenging and fun way to get traffic.

Google does not like slow sites
I had a mass traffic decrease over the summer.. it effected almost all of my database sites. I was hosting a big chunk of my database sites on one vps at the time. I woke up 1 day to see that my traffic to these sites had dropped significantly. Of course I was in panic mode, not only did the traffic drop off , my revenue to the sites had also dropped to almost nothing. I immediately checked to see if my server was online. It has been down for several hours… to make a long story short I overloaded the vps with over 5000 subdomains.
All of my sites were down for days well I figured out to wasn’t worth keeping the ones that were not. Additional time was also spent with the upstream provider trying to figure out what had happened. It took almost a week to figure out that I had overloaded the server with subdomains. On each 1 of the subdonains I installed a php script that randomly displayed information from my various databases. This is all in an attempt to get google to pick up on the information. Because the sites were down for so long Google had begun de indexing my sites.. I went from getting 10 to 15,000. Unique visitors a day to almost nothing. I basically had to shut down the vps and start over, the upstream provider could never make it right after that had happened. The sites were only reachable 75 percent of the time. So because of this I decided to move all of them over to a new vps on the same upstream provider. It took months for google to pick up on this.
The moral of the story is: make sure your site is always reachable.. if you have issues when visiting your site (can’t get to it for whatever reason) then you can be sure the Google bot can’t reach it either… resulting in your site slowly getting deindexed. We all know what a deindexing from Google means…
