The RC Car niche is full of buyers. You will find that some prospects are information seekers just looking for the coolest new car or gadget, but even these folks will likely buy at some point. It’s a great market for repeat sales as many hobby enthusiasts just keep buying more to add to their collection.

There are a ton of ways to segment the RC car niche. Currently, the remote control niche includes cars and many other vehicle types like helicopters, planes, boats … you name it. It would be much easier to build a site and achieve high rankings in the search engines for one of these segmented lists.

I know a lot of folks are reading my articles are still wondering if duplicate content is really going to hurt their sites.

Let’s break this down.

Duplicate content IS going to have a negative effect on your sites if you want to rank high in the search engines. You may as well not have bothered to put the page on your site at all because it will likely be filtered out of the regular search results. If your page is filtered out of the regular search results, it’s not going to be seen by surfers and you won’t get free search engine traffic from it.

I have found a great site for link building, in that you can join different groups, and have the articles submitted not only to your profile, but also to each one of the groups.

That site is http://www.searchles.com  It’s a PR 6 dofollow social media site.

For those who didn’t read the Mr Wong article, here’s basically what you do on Searchles:
1)    You join the site.
2)    You join a few different related groups for whatever site you’ll be submitting your blog posts and inner pages from.
3)    If there aren’t any related groups (which is doubtful) but if there aren’t, then create a group yourself!
4)    You submit the article, choosing to send the links to the related groups also.
5)    Now you have multiple backlinks… one on your profile page, and one per group that you joined.
6)    Now, on Mr. Wong, the tag pages had no follow links.  But, on Searchles, the tag pages are dofollow links.  So, you can add 3-4 tags, and have 3-4 groups, and get 7-9 different dofollow links per submission.

Since you are submitting all of the pages and posts from your site, this is building great links to your inner pages, something Google really likes.

So, if you’ve already submitted all of your pages and posts to Mr Wong, now you have a whole new dofollow social media site to submit to!

Also, as an added bonus, there is a fairly active community there in some of the groups, so you’re not only getting related links to your inner pages, but you can also get some good traffic from like-minded individuals who are a part of the groups and paying attention to all of the new posts to the groups.
