I have >100 mini niche sites all centered around the same general niche (yeah, should have made an authority site, oh well).

Now, I want to start building a list. Will I get slapped by Google for doorway pages if I put the same opt in code on each of those sites? If so, is there any way to avoid it?

I would assume even through manual review, an opt in box would hold up, even if it's on each site?

Hoping someone has some experience with this.

Thank you!

are these just 1 page "sites" or multiple page sites with useful unique content and PR ranking? What kind of traffic do these sites get on their own?
What I would do is start building an authority site and point these 100 mini niche sites to it directly, if you have that many sites within a general niche and the content is any good you should start ranking pretty fast and have 100 backlinks instantly assuming you are not hosting these on all 1 server which would be a no no.    Instead of having 100 optins ( and worrying about google) you can put the optin on your authority site instead.

Let's say I prefer to keep these things as is. Do you know of anyone getting hit with a doorway penalty due to opt in boxes? My sites are all almost a year old, so I'm assuming they're fine in Google's eyes right now. I was just hoping someone had some experience with this.

I tried that (and always do - posting a thread is a last resort). I found tons of information about the doorway page penalty, but nothing in regards to email opt in boxes. If you had some experience with this, I would really love to hear from you.

I don't see any problem with having the same opt-in code in all of the sites.  I mean it's common practice for an internet marketer to have one autoresponder account on different sites he owns.  Also, I don't believe it's any violation to Google's guidelines to have an opt-in box so I won't worry about it.

Yeah, that's an excellent point. I couldn't find anything about optins and doorway pages on their forums or anywhere on the net for that matter. I assume you would hear about it if it was a problem. I do need to make sure I have enough content above the fold between Adsense and the opt in, though. Thank you!

emai opt in not any issue ,uniqueness
However on of the ways I find networks of my competitors (for no other reason than knowing and understanding)
Is I look for similarities in the sites.
Such as publisher ID #
I know its a pain and more work but if I can find networks this way so can G and your competitors.
Not all competitors keep quite about it as I recently found out, although I am quite paranoid at the moment.,
