Installing Your WordPress Blogs

Installing Your WordPress Blogs

At this point, your domains have been registered and setup on your server.

Now, we’re going to install a WordPress blog on the root of each of the 100
‘money’ domains you purchased. Again, don’t worry about your blog farm
domains for now as we’ll get into setting up your blog farms later.

There are several programs/services out there that will install WordPress blogs
for you automatically, at the click of a button across multiple domains. I use a
program called WordPressSuperInstaller (WPSI). It’s by far the best automatic
wordpress installer out there in terms of features, speed and easy of use.

There are simple step-by-step videos on how to use WPSI. It’s very easy and will
probably take you 15 minutes to learn how to use.

At this point, you need to go ahead and install your 100 blogs (one blog on the root
of each domain).

It’s extremely important that your blog links to your internal pages.
Now, we have not created our internal pages ye, but that does not mean that we
can’t setup a link to our internal pages from our blog. This may not make sense
now, but it will in a minute.

Let me explain…

When you build your pages using RSSGM Generator or NC Generator (these are
the page-building scripts included with this download), the scripts are going to
create several sitemaps for you. These include mainsitemap.php and
fullsitemap.php. Now, we haven’t built our pages yet. I haven’t even talked about
using these generators, but just keep reading and you’ll know in a minute why I
mention them here.

For a description of what these sitemaps are, read the instructions
that come with the scripts.

Now, it’s very important that you link from your WordPress blog to one of your
sitemaps. Why? Because when the spiders arrive at your WordPress blog, they
will follow the link to your sitemap, which contains links to your other pages. In
other words, you’re creating a funnel that the spiders can follow.

Now, even though you haven’t actually built your sitemaps yet, you know what
they will be called. They will look like this:


http://www.domain.com/mainsitemap.php
http://www.domain.com/fullsitemap.php

So, you can link to your site maps before you have even created them because you
the know the url before hand ☺.

In this case, we’re going to be linking from the sidebar of our blog to the
mainsitemap.php. Don’t worry about fullsitemap.php for now.

So – how do we do this across all 100 of our blogs automatically, so that each blog
is linking to the corresponding mainsitemap.php file for that domain?

Well, fortunately, WPSI has a feature built in that will allow you to do this.
