Do MFA Sites Still Work?

Filed under: SEO — admin @ 10:24 am

Ok, so first of all I’d like to apologize for being out of the loop for a little bit here… but it’s been a relatively quiet summer with no huge changes at the GooglePlex so there’s not really been any fire stories to write about. I’ve been traveling and though not really what I’d call a vacation it’s been keeping me busy nonetheless.

In any event, the question of the day that someone posed to me this morning is this… Do MFA websites still work? Lots of people would disagree with me on my answer but I’ll say it anyway. I’d have to give an emphatic YES they still do work….BUT not in the way you would think….

Being on the net since the dawn of time (ok, since 1990 or so, anyway) I’ve seen things constantly evolving. This is one of those times. Do you have a bunch of MFA sites that used to make you money but for whatever reason they aren’t anymore? That’s fine… evolve them. Unless Google has banned you completely, you can still get a lot of miles out of those sites. You just have to (gasp) work for it now. Evolve the sites. Make them into something that is an actual resource for web surfers. Instead of just plastering AdSense ads all over the site, take some time and sit down and start writing some content on the sites. You have a (supposedly) aged and indexed domain, so make use of it.

You already know that “content is king”, so why aren’t you following that adage? Get to work and write, write, write!
