Free Niche Websites are not that free

One day while surfing the web, I came across a sales page that promised to build your own free niche websites. I was new to the internet at the time and I was already looking to create a website so I took the free deal. But the deal did not turn out the be what I expected.

They start out by telling you that all the work will be for free because the other companies will pay them a commission to get people to sign up for there free account. Once they build the niche websites for you all you have to do is sign up for there hosting company and then they will install the website for you. All you have to do is advertise your new free niche website and you will make money. But will you?

See, you need to make sure that if you are going to sign up for a hosting company make sure it's a good one. You can always find good hosting companies for a better price just by looking. You could be paying way more for hosting than you need to.

Also find out what niche website that they are going to build. Don't just except what ever they give you. Some will not even use articles to create the niche website. They will just pick a topic then use a software that finds bits of sentences to fill the space. They will offer no value to any visitor and you will not make any money.

If they use articles, those articles will be given out to so many people that it will not get indexed by google because of duplicate content penalty. If the search engine will not index it then you will never be found on the search. A niche website needs unique content that is optimized for keywords in order to get listed.

You will be forced to spend money advertising your niche website hoping to at least make enough money to cover your monthly hosting costs and advertising expenses. If you are new and don't know what you are doing you will be broke fast.

So I recommend that you first learn all you can about building niche websites and then create your own. It doen't take that long and you will have total control of the content and layout. Once you are done then learn all the ways you can advertise your niche website. Do not start any advertising campaign until you research for tips on how to properly use their service. This will cut down on most of you costly mistakes that you will have along the way.
