Ah, nothing like profiting off the work of others

I like the concept though guys, good luck with it!

ps, I don’t think the “Order Now” button is big enough

cheers

We are doing standard SEO for the entire network which includes the release of Press Releases, linking from established sites, etc.

We expect each site to land with at least a PR 5 and perhaps a PR 6 right out of the starting box.

Getting your very own, well re-inforced PR 5 or 6 site from the very beginning is not cheap or easy to do if you’re just starting out.

The well reinforced part is critical. Anyone can buy a PR5 site from SitePoint for $300-400, but the trick is keeping it there over the long haul. As a member of the OneBig Network, you won’t have to work for your PR ranking and you’ll be able to leverage it to other sites of your choice.

Alright Nathan, if you insist, I’ll have my graphic designer make a bigger Order Now! button ASAP

I agree, in its current state it is hard to notice.

Hi Hart.
I barter for content. $10 of credit per 500 word article. That would be 25 articles.

We’re especially interested in travel articles:

The only requirement for the domain names is that they start with the words “onebig”

But yes, you’ll be responsible for choosing and buying your domain name.

This is a great initiative. Keep it up.

You start your post of with:

“You talk about not “diluting” your work, but this service completely goes counter to that.”

But then you fail to justify how this project constitutes “diluting” work.

This product allows you to create a “lens” pointing people to the best feeds on the web relating to a certain topic. Squidoo does this on a larger scale. So are you arguing that Squidoo is illegitimate?

By your logic valid businesses such as The Drudge Report (which creates lists of links to other people’s content), Google (which organizes other people’s content) and other sites which organize information are all illegitimate.

That just doesn’t make sense.

The fact is that linking to authority sites in a particular niche creates a service that is useful to both the reader and the site that is being linked to and doesn’t constitute the stealing of content…whatsoever (unless the listing of headlines with links to the original site counts as stealing).
