I have an antique can collection and some of them are quite large. I use them as planters outside and some are large enough for plant stands. I also love using old bikes, wheelbarrows, wagons, and other old farm equipment to accessorize my patio.

Frankly, I understand and support this move.Here are some rules that I believe will not only help your search rankings, but also drive the right kind of traffic to your primary web site (at the seminar Jeff Johnson called these money pages). Really, over time, the best search engine marketing strategy is to create a killer web site.For example, I will soon be starting a web site for those folks trying to develop an online business in their spare time.
If links cost you money and they have no immediate effect, chances are most people will abandon the practice. Then visitors will see the links and ads for Midnight Marketer and head on over.

The feeder sites will contain as many highly focused articles on their subject matter as I can find. Do not post duplicate content at multiple web sites, especially if you own them all, if they are on the same server, and if they link to each other. Don't do it. Even though I support Google in most things, it is kinda fun to do something that makes them a little crazy.
