My perspective is that the problem with this IS seo.<p>The article talks about buying 1,000 domains. One big seo factor is domain authority/trust. With 1,000 new domains, you have to build up 1,000 separate properties with authority/trust, that's no small feat as anyone who's tried building up 100 domains at the same time will tell you. The common tactic here is going after the long tail, which is the only way I can see this working and still staying within a sane budget.<p>Beyond seo the article talks about marketing in general, and how great it will be to market laser targeted niche stores, all 1,000 of them.<p>So if I've spent a couple of hours finding a great Japanese music site that is PERFECT for listing my Japanese niche music store/domain, then I've just spent a couple of hours on 1 domain, only 999 more domains to start marketing! Yay!<p>That's horrific.<p>If you take the approach of a niche property within the same domain, all of your seo and marketing efforts for 1 niche store will transfer over to the rest of your properties, since, of course, you'll inner link them all from within the same domain. This also works great from a long tail perspective.<p>The marketing/seo execution of 1,000 separate domains is the challenge...
