Does anyone have any thoughts/comments about using the free sites to build a site that has a link to my main site?

One could build 3-4 "free sites" with links to a main "real" site daily?

Any thoughts or experiences?

Thanks

A definite SEO No No! :lol:

This will not help you anyway because a link to your main site from a free site is not going to be given much if any weight because no one is linking to the free site. If you build 3-4 sites a day that link to your main site and a human catches you, either a employee of a SE or a regular Joe and you get reported, your main site could be penalized. Besides this, free sites like this litter the Internet. Don't be a litter bug. :fart:

So my advice is don't do it. It will have a negative effect on your search engine marketing efforts.

Don't waste your time unless you plan to get incoming links to all your throwaway freebie sites as well. Spend your time buidling your content and adding useful information that people will want to link to.

I agree with Scottie and searchrank. This is really a very bad idea. Remember that Google isn't even going to list you link unless it has some PR value. We use to think the minimum value was PR4. It may be less but Google certainly wants some PR value to report a backlink.

So the only way your scheme could work is to put content on each free page and get significant backlinks to each free page. This is just doubling or tripling your work. AS someone else said use the time and effort improving your real site.
