SouthAmericanVacations.com and AEIOU

Many domainers have been trying out AEIOU.com‘s micro-site development as a way to rapidly develop some of their domains and get away from parking.  As I’ve mentioned in the past, a developed site will still get the same amount of direct navigation traffic and now you’re hopefully going to be attracting some organic search traffic, as well.  The cost of an AEIOU micro-site is $250 and the primary monetization option is AdSense.

I figured I’d give them a shot since I’m in the process of developing my portfolio and wanted to see if it was worth the money.  We used my site about South American Vacations for the project.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

**EDIT** – I’ve received several comments and emails all pretty much agreeing with my opinion that the AEIOU site just really isn’t that good.  The only traffic that site has received has been either type-in or referrals from this post.  So, I’m going to begin making gradual changes to improve the content, design and search traffic.  The site you see is no longer the original AEIOU version.
