Hello everyone,

Was hoping to get an opinion(s) on the following:

I'm in the process of setting up a group of sites which target a single industry and it's multitude search inquiries. The plan is to get 20-30 companies to sign up to market themselves on the network based on a monthly or yearly fee. This has been done successfully by another company already, however, there were plenty of additional avenues left available.

With regard to early marketing, I could show them overture, wordtracker, and various other indicators that would suggest that the site will get significant traffic. However, I'd rather not disclose any more information than necessary. Obviously, I'd rather have the later #'s indicating traffic in to my site. But without clients the site would not have any material beyond the informational SEO pages I create?

So the question is: How do i market this site only on the prospect of future traffic?

Thanks alot for any insight...

I'm not sure I understand your setup.

Is this an affiliate setup?

Are you selling new/existing sites on your network to clients?

Are you selling space on your network for clients to put their site?

Drastic thanks for the message. That wasn't every clear. It would be the third option.

I would be selling space to the client and displaying their information and/or site link on each of the new sites in the network.
