VBL Community Niche Site Project

On Friday 1st, July 2011 I published a post that totally blew me away! In just over a week it had amassed over 200 comments, and continues to grow more and more popular. In fact, the comment section of that first post has now become a ‘niche masterclass’ of its own, thanks to all of the fantastic comments from our very friendly and knowledgable VBL Community members.

The page you are now on is the official ‘home’ of the VBL Community Niche Site Project. It was originally named a ‘Community Challenge’, but VBL subscriber, John called it a ‘project’, and I liked it so much I changed it. Thanks, John! FYI, you can access this page easily and directly by visiting www.nichesiteproject.com.

What is the VBL Community Niche Site Project?

For the full low-down on this, you just have to read my introductory post on the subject. However, the bottom line is that its about a whole bunch of us coming together and helping each other research, select, build and market a niche site – with the plan of having it creating us passive income online over the next 6 months or so.

Simple as that, really – but, read the launch post – there’s lots more info in there.

What’s On This Page?

On this page you’ll find a listing of all of the participants in the VBL Community Niche Site Project. If you didn’t start at the beginning don’t worry – its ‘taking part’ that matters, and its a great motivator to see your ranking, traffic, etc., growing each month. If you wish to join in the fun, all you need to do is email me the following information and you’ll be included in the list below:

  • Your Name
  • Location
  • Primary Keyword
  • Niche Site URL

The Alexa Rank, Google PR and Primary Keyword Position numbers you see below were recorded by my VA on Monday 11th July, 2011.

Lastly, towards the bottom of the page, after the listing of all the participants, you’ll find a complete run-down of all the posts attached to the Niche Site Project and a few older ones from the VBL Archive that are relevant, so you can catch up on everything – in case you’re joining us a little late! These include comment sections with tons of additional information, as well as everyones monthly updates, too!
