Hey guys,

Thank you very much for the support. I am not going to Give Up. I can't! been too long.

I took Gazd's advice and made notes on my current domains. I am going to concentrate on SERP and building backlinks. Any page that is not in top 20 will be forgotten.

Gonna make a list of good sites Tonight.

[JMartin]

Hamburglar,

You might want to take a step back and look at why you're selecting the KWPs you do. Perhaps you should increase your minimums as far as searches and cash go. Also, take a little time and think about the KWP before jumping into it. Is it something people really want (buyers)? Is the KWP a whole KWP or in reality a part of another.

An example of this might be "coffee maker." Seems nice, but if people are really searching for "Brand X coffee maker" and "espresso coffee maker" and "coffee maker filters" and "coffee maker recipes" or whatever, then that KWP is far too broad and will actually have money issues. You may even have a #1 listing, but since the listing isn’t targeted to what the searcher wants, it’s #2 who will get the most clicks.

Here's a personal example. This week I spent roughly 20 hours (so far) researching for 2-3 site possibilities. Sure I could have spent an hour and came up with 10 "insert product here" or "insert info here" sites that I could rank for and had a decent amount of searches, but I don't build sites just because I can.

I took all those lower level KWPs that met my previous minimum criteria for searches/cpc/SEOC (or SOC) and filed em away and keep moving on. Instead I'm looking for KWPs that meet my new increased criteria. Yes, it can take a little longer to find them, but they are there.

I guess the point is this: rather than stopping your research and jumping in the pool when you hit a KWP that “works,” spend more time looking for a bigger piece of gold that you can carry.

If you’re going to build say 3 sites in a week, reserve your buying/building until later in the week. Spend the first 2-3 days of the week doing crazy research to find the KWPs with the highest search/$$ to ranking ratio (that look solid from a buying standpoint) and roll with those.

[m4ster]

I'm going through almost the same problems. I'm building up more websites - but my income remains the same.... And that's kinda frustrating.

I like to think that everything will be fine after some time. I don't know... Maybe we are supposed to go through that. Anyway, failure is not an option for me. I will earn at least 50$ a day this time next year. I will work hard - but I'll get there.

[32paul52]

Hamburglar,

My 2 cents would be to have a look at where the money is coming from - From john (xfactors) course he didnt just build 1 site in a market, but where he saw cash- he build more for the same market eg: "Puppy toys" site makes money- build another for "black puppy toys" -

At the same time- dont spend too long in "analysis mode" - can slow your momentum- just relize that johns course is about "throwing mud at the wall" and seeing whats sticks....some will take time and what you are feeling is normal.....

i hope you are still remember that i have 2 domains with 4 word phrase with "the" and "store" at the front and back of the keyword.

Submitted 11 articles (5 different article directories) and did 10 angela backlinks for each of them, still no where to be found

Hope to get some advice from the expert here.

Sign up for google webmaster tools with those sites, and submit sitemaps. It will index you pretty quickly.

[simonheng82]

Hi Jason, the problem is not about indexing, the site is indexed with all 4 pages listed in the search result, is just that it is not ranked with the targeted keyword....

I've been reading this post since the beginning and lately have gotten frustrated at myself because I've been watching everybody else's success and not doing what I need to do.

And yes, as small as it may seem, you are having success! Keep in mind that IM is not an overnight thing (for the majority of us.) It is not a couple of months success story either. My overall game plan is that if I can put up 2 sites a week that consistently make 1 dollar a day, then after one year I'll have 100 sites - that's $100 dollars a day. Anything over that is gravy.

I've been watching you guys who are consistently putting up your sites and it is great that they are making a couple dollars a day. Keep adding. Aren't you in it for the long haul. There are so many people on this forum who have had adsense sites up for years and still haven't gotten a check from Google.

I have about 8 html adsense sites. All have at least two pages of content. I consistenly make $2 to $3 dollars a day and most of my sites don't even rank in the top 100. My focus now is to submit 10 articles for each site to get them up in the rankings so the sites can get traffic not my articles.

KEEP WORKING EVERYONE - IT WILL COME!

Good job LadyL08.

I assume that your traffic is from your articles (if you're not ranking on the SERPs)? And this is all from Google Adsense?

Thanks for sharing

[sousen]

Ad sense is called traffic business if you can bring traffic on your site you will get success

Simon

Simon, don't fret over your domains with 4 keywords. I have noticed those are a lot harder to rank. You are better off not wasting time with this right now and just look for 3 keyword phrases to build new sites. Once you find more success in easily ranking the 3 word phrases then you can go back and nurse your 4 keyword phrase sites.

This method is about building up more and more sites to boost your income. It has been a difficult lesson after lesson for my mistakes I have made by adding in an additional word to my domain name or getting too low of monthly search counts and of course the biggie of overlooking competition even when MNF gave me the green light.

Just keep moving forward and don't dwell on the semi-failure sites right now. It is no different with John's method as it is with many income building systems, some sites will do very well and others will sink before they ever make it to the surface.

Agree totally- its easy to waste hours on one site, trying to push it up- move on get some more numbers and go forward...... otherwise you have a lot of wasted time, checking ranking etc, which chews into productivity...some will some wont.....momentum........

[truewarrior]

I have 3 sites that were ranked now POOF it's gone...I know it's the google dance thang, but do you guys have any recommendations what I should do to make sure to get the ranking back again?

[32paul52]

Truewarrior,
Its noraml (almosted expected) - New content appears in the index- ranks, because it is new- the settles back down to nowhere.....

Build backlinks, keep going, -No Gurantees......But action is the cure, and expect this happen again and again....age is they only cure.....all part of the game and understanding how it works..............

Dont expect stability till around the year make........sorry no quick million dollars here..........

[simonheng82]

Hi sarasayshi, thanks for reminding me again Appreciate that.

Yesterday, i hit the highest adsense that i have ever earned, $17.8 in a single day Almost every sites had 1 click and even article submitted to directories to also generate the clicks, although the sites are in the page 3 onwards and even no where to be found I love article marketing (articleblast is my favourite)

Simon

[hamburglar]

Hey Guys,

Simon. That is excellent. Wohoo!!1 My highest has been $11.68 yesterday.

A bit of sad news: one of my sites got de-indexed. It was on page one and now when you search "site:domainname.com" it does not exist.

I do not know how to recover from the de-index.

SIMON!! WOOOHOOOO!!

[simonheng82]

Hey dude, that is my biggest earning in my adsense journey since 2 years back, it will be excellent if it can hit that figure everyday But it doesnt, now my average earning per day is about $5-6, i am in the stage of building backlink by submitting articles and submit my site to web directories.

About your site deindexed thingy, how old is that site? Probably is part of google dance? But GD will not deindex site right? What about trying to resubmit the site through www.google.com/addurl/? Just try it out. Good luck!

Simon

[pons_saravanan]

Hi hamburglar

I am reading internetmarketer99's,and your forums. I have not finished all responses from your thread.

In the mean while i am researching a keyword which has the following

From Google Keyword Tool
LSV 3,600 and Global 2,400

From Google Traffic Tool

Estimated Avg. CPC : $1.41 - $2.03
Estimated Cost / Day : $1 - $2

Competition
first page one PR4 at 4th position
rest are below 4.
wikipedia at first position for few keywords in main keywords

Do you consider this keyword.

I am going to use this as an experiment to learn how things are going.

[simonheng82]

Hi saravanan, we are neighbour (Sg and Mas)

While awaiting for Hamburglar to answer your question.......

I will skip for this keyword if i see a wikipedia post with this keyword, further more there are PR4 and "PR4 and below" post (i assume they are PR2-3?) in the first page.....With that amount of searches, you can get more keywords that are worth your time to work on.......but is all up to you if you are going to treat this as an experiment.

One more advice is, never go for keyword with 4 words in length. Some may find success with this, but at least me and hamburglar dont....

Hey,

The search volume is great. However, I do not look at the google CPC. I go to Spyfu and look for at least .50 cent Minimum.

I also look for (using clickbumps method):

1) At least 3 pr 0 or pr N/A.
2) At least 2500 Search Volume.

Is this keyword a product? Does not sound like it if wikipedia is there. One thing you want to understand is the searches mental thought. When they search for X, what do they truly want/need?

I gear all my sites towards ready to buy products.

I hope this helps.

[pons_saravanan]

thank you for your great response in Lightning speed. It is a actually a type of product. Shall I PM you more details on that?

I am just validating myself whether my keyword selections research is going in a right direction or not. I will check spyfu now for more information.

I finished reading ClickBumps thread yesterday only. So now started researching on keywords.

I have already done big mistakes on my websites without reading valuable information here. So i do not wish to repeat any more.

[pons_saravanan]

Hi further updates as you advised me.
The cost per click is $0.58 - $1.81 in SpyFu for my keywords.

SIMON!! WOOOHOOOO!!

Hey- Way to go Hamburglar - Keep Going. I have had sites de-indexed as well a while back- You can submit for a "Google reconsideration process"- I did it 6 months ago- totally rebuild the site, took off affiliate links, added more content, even told them what I did wrong. Never heard back from them and just moved on. I have never had a wordpress site de-indexed.

I also had another do the same - I moved it to a different hosting (a service which also pulled fresh content from twitter, utube etc)

The domain go reindexed about a month later.

In this business people are looking for step by step path to follow, how ever I think each site is treated differently- Xfactors plan is a Guide (his words) there is no exact plan when it comes to how google works with the site.......... every site is different.....

[truewarrior]

Has anyone tried to change the ezine author section after an article is published? I'm thinkig it shouldn't be a problem, do they need to review my article to get it approved for author section change?

[GazD]

I've done this, and the article goes offline, then takes 3-7days to get reapproved.

[rbecklund]

For getting a rough estimate for CPC I use Spyfu and take the average amount (find it in the little graph on the right of the screen, hover your mouse over the middle area of the graph and it will show the current and historic average). I take that and multiply by 20%, I've found that gets me pretty close to my actual per click averages, so I feel that's a realistic number to use. Google's amounts are way off, same with MNF.

Great thread Hamburglar - Thanks!!

Exactly, I always say to my customers to use my guide as a base, while
adding your own twists and turns along the way.

In my next course update I'm even going to go into finding non-product
niches, high paying niches, and big site advice.

It all works - just be confident.

- John

[pons_saravanan]

I have just checked few keywords in spyfu. It says it has 740 searches but daily clicks as 1. so daily for 740 searches we can expect only 1 click. Is this normal. Can we conclude that any keyword in this niche will behave something like this.

[truewarrior]

so i found a potential niche for my adsense site, but i want to be sure i'm not stepping on google's toes..it has sexual content and is a product i see roughly 10 google ads...i know google strives to create family friendly searches, but this isn't explicit in nature...will google frown upon me?

[hamburglar]

Today is going to be the highest earning day ever for me.

I just hit $12.

I have not used MNF for my last 5 sites. 3 of them are on page one and raking in some good money.

I am using ClickBump's method of at least 3 pr 0's and also combination of inanchor, intitle and inurl.

My design: have gone 100% away from xfactor now. I loved his design as a starting point but now have a new template that converts 50 - 66%. Don't quote me just yet. I am waiting for at least 1000 impressions on that design to conclude properly.

Gotta keep pushing. I almost gave up this weekend. Patience and Persistence is key for this.

[truewarrior]

you have been doing so well....why did you want to give up?

I just hit $2.48 yesterday...the day previous was $0.00. I wanted to give up myself...
but i'm still in the game

Hi
Great hamburglar, i glad you got 12$/day. Can you help me to figure out why my website is not getting atleast few clicks per day?.

I have around 800 visitors and 1000+ visits per day. But i am getting one or two clicks. Most of the days there is no click at all. I have asked the same question in few forums. But the answer is vistors are tech saavy so they dont click advertisements.

Can you please advise me what to do?

A little piece of advice.. your square ad's font color in the upper left corner is blue.. i suggest that you change the color to a darker gray or dirty white to blend with the rest of your web page's contents..

[pons_saravanan]

thank you for taking your time to review and advice.


Let me try today and i will update here the results

[UBotBuddy]

Stay focussed. That is the real key and do not follow all the rabbits that cross your path.

[simonheng82]

Hi Dude, you really announce a great news and enlighten everybody here, i am also glad that your fire is still burning!

Yes, work towards the goal and never give up until you got success That is what i always tell myself.....BTW, i have 40 sites now, 25 out of them are within first 20 results, 15 are falls between third page to sixth page, still working hard to submit article, but recently always stuck with EA and few of my articles are rejected because of grammar error (English is not my primary language). But i diverted those rejected articles to other directories, at least it still get me some credits.

Average earning per day is $4 per day, and going to cash out via Western Union end of this month, about $230 Keep up the good work and stay focused!!

I used clickbump's method, and every site I registered in the past week made it in the first page. No Micro Niche Finder or Market Samurai used.

I definitely say stick with clickbump's method.

Amen to that.

I have lost faith in MNF. I actually want a refund because I have only used it 5 times and its so slow on my computer. Keeps Crashing as well.

Anyone else encounter this or is it just me?

Don't let stuff get ya down, this takes time, give it that time it needs.

Here is a very modest plan that can get you to where you want to go:

============================================

If I can:

Build 100 sites,

All 1 page of content

All averaging 50 cents a day, ($15 monthly).

Outsource 2 articles per site @ $3 ea. (300 words each)

Use 1 article for website content, Use the other article for EZA

100 sites would cost me about $1370
(100 DN's=$770 + 200 articles=$600 Total=$1370)

Return on investment $1500 monthly
($0.50 x 30 x 100 = $1500 - after 1 or two months)

Then do 1 maintenance article every month for each website, ($300 mo. cost)

Of course - if a website does well, (the exception), add pages and more back links, etc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$1500 monthly for such little work and small investment is unheard of outside of the internet marketing world.

Sell each site at the end of 12 months for $15 x 10 = $150 each, $150 x 100 = $15,000 gross.
(this is After having generated $1500 monthly for 12 months)

============================================

I posted this on xFactors Forum first.

With ClickBumps methods, you don't
even have to write/buy articles

[truewarrior]

what's your update hamburglar? I'm hoping you went up another tier!

How are you doing with adsense?
My advise is to make your blue links grey and your ad text black. They still stand out too much. Hope this helps....

[Oliver Allen]

Can someone tell me that if I create a wordpress blog with adsense ads on it and then optimize the heck out of it good keywords will this be a good venture?

Hi indie
Thanks for your advice. I am not doing well with adsense. Though i am getting one click every day(or 20-30 clicks monthly). This is better than 5 clicks/month.

I am waiting to draw the conclusion on the blue link. I am watching without touching the adsense format/color/font size for the past two weeks(almost). Then i am going to change it to dark gray and let me see what is going to happen.

[erwindegrave]

This is inspiring. I never thought that any one would have this courage and humility to post like this.. Good job!

I would love to get track about your experience.. Don't forget to create videos about your performance because those videos can be used as products once you've started creating a "HOW TO MAKE MONEY" video series :-)

[hamburglar]

So an update:

On saturday I hit my highest earning ever!
$27!!!

It is very inspiring that I went that high. I wish I could do that every day. Overtime I will.

The cool thing is that I have not built any backlinks to my site, I am planning on building some backlinks this weekend.

My avg earnings for this month is $14/day.

[SladeK]

Wow, very nice.

How many sites are you up to now?

I have 4 currently that are indexed and am averaging about $.75 /day.

slow but steady...

[raphael7]

Great hamburglar

How many sites do you have now
