Yikes, its been a while! Apologies for the updates, my main business got crazy busy and spare time went into travel
I've spun everything back up last week and have made a start on progress
Hosting
* Memory was maxing out on the VPS, so upgraded to the 8GB M3 Server smart plan
* Configured daily backups for database and content
* CDN for content and static HTML to reduce the load from google crawl
Content
* Import feeds (thanks Mech!) developed for HubTraffic and Tube Corporate, around 20 sites in total and god knows how many millions of videos using embed codes
Tracking
* Added sites to google analytics
* Added sites to google webmaster tools
Monetisation
* Installed and setup revive ad-server
Design
* Ordered logo's for two of the sites

To-Do For This Week
* Configure google analytics, add goals
* Development spec for google translation API to get content translated
* Development spec for text spinning tool to make content unique(ish)
* Find a suitable affiliate program (dating?) I can promote to fill banner spots for now
--
Questions
* Can I expect google to index my initial content? Must be 100's of sites with the same titles
* Are there any better ways to make content title unique, other that using a spinner?
* Should I add text descriptions to categories?
