Strange Stuff With BANS

So awhile ago one of the platforms I used to make money online was BANS or Build A Niche Store. You can see what one of these eBay affiliate store looks like here: used snowboards. As you can see the site is pretty basic and this site has a little more then the average amount of content I put on BANS sites...

The story lately on BANS sites is that Google has gone on a wide de-indexing spree and that's completely true. Several of my BANS sites have been de-indexed by Google and are no longer receiving traffic from the big G. That's the bas news...

The good news is that Yahoo is stepping up and is now sending traffic to my BANS network. Is Yahoo sending enough traffic for me to continue building BANS sites?

I haven't quite made that decision yet and right now I'm in full fledged marketing and promoting mode. Right now I have the unenviable task of promoting about 50 new sites that I recently built. Trying out a new process on these sites and we'll see how it goes. Process goes something like this:

Scuttle Runs on BMD
Blog Comment Runs
Write article and use Article Submitter to post to article directories
Bookmarking Runs
Directory Submissions

And now I'm also using Article Marketing Automation to promote my sites. There's a lot of buzz about this product/service lately so I figured I would give it a whirl and see how it goes. It's $47 a month so I'm using it pretty aggressively... I'm using AMA primarily to build a blog farm and to point links to my money sites obviously. More on AMA later...
