I think you could do this more easily (no or very little custom coding) WordPress MU and variously located front-end proxies (nginx/haproxy)?

Rob,

Disregard my last comment I figured it out. For those of you using WordPress, I found that if you have background images load via CSS they will appear on the proxied site if you use absolute references instead of relative ones.

Are there any compatibility issues with WordPress 2.7? I’ve been trying your code but am running into all sorts of problems.

[...] Re: Living the Dream with AutoBlogs Do you guys think this would work? SERPs still see the sites separate even if they are all redirected to one main domain right? http://www.evilgreenmonkey.com/blog/…o-hosting.html [...]

Hi Rob, I guess you are snowed under, but it never hurts to ask – any luck with the Open Source (GPL) application

Hosting regional micro Websites in different countries is definitely better off for the SEO and marketing initiative. This challenge does worth the efforts for the Internet business, especially in combination with the robust e-commerce software to sell more and convert leads into customers easily.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am still learning a lot of stuff so bare with me please, but once you get the sites setup across these free web hosts, how do you get them indexed in the SE’s. It would seem that may take longer than setting up the initial sites or is there a relatively quick way to get them indexed, a script or something.

I have no problems getting sites indexed, usually within a day or two, but if you setup a hundred or so of these “runoff” sites, it would seem challenging to index all of them. And I figure they would be worthless if not in Googles index?

BTW, thank you for the information!
