You can buy a WP theme like that. I think John or someone else sells it.

No offence, but you clearly haven't done enough research if you didn't come across this already. I strongly suggest reading John's original xfactor thread and then to read his book.

Honestly, it will help you a great deal.

btw are you sure you want to use WP? Managing 300 WP sites or however many you want to build is going to be a major headache. Personally, I use Xsite Pro, as John originally did himself.

Make sure you don't leave a big footprint in Google by using the same template over and over again. It could lead to all of your sites being de-indexed if you do something wrong on one of them...

End result my Adsense sites are making me some nice PASSIVE money every day ... planning to build a ton of them.

John is a good guy, I would have no hesitation in recommending his course

Seems like if you've got AdSense on all your sites you couldn't have a much bigger footprint with Google.

Yeah what do you mean?

We are talking about the possibility that Google tries to recognise a template and ban/deindex all sites that use that template.

Making a few tweaks between your sites here and there will avoid this.

Every site will have Adsense on it, sure. But how is that a footprint to be cautious about?

I figure if you do something against the TOS or otherwise cross Google in some way, they don't need to try tracking the Wordpress theme you're using to find your sites. On the other hand, just because two sites have the same theme doesn't mean they would both be guilty of the same violations. But maybe I'm just taking a simplistic view of it.

Same thing can happen if you use Google analytica on all sites. I know some really disagree, but I know examples of guys having over 100 sites deindexed, all using Google analytics, and other of their sites not using it were OK.

I dunno...I bought the Wordpress theme from Clickbump that looks exactly like John's. All of my sites use this theme and I haven't had any problems with getting deindexed.

Same here Susb. This has been discussed a lot on WF.
Q: "Will using the same theme get me de-indexed"
A: "Right after Google has de-indexed all sites with the Kubrick theme."

All my sites run my custom theme. I'll warn y'all when they de-indexed

Perhaps an attic I shall seek.

When you will reach like 100$ per day, you will get a manual review and then you will be deindexed.

Hi bgeriani, there's quite a bit of unsubstantiated claims and misinformation in this thread.

I'd be glad to help you with the best available tools and support for running your micro niche adsense sites. Feel free to send me a PM or email with your questions.

Also, a word of advice in weeding through information here. Check the source.

When you see posts that have a one line blanket assumption without supporting evidence, and usually coming from a source with very low post counts and zero Thanks, your shields should probably be fully engaged ;-)

I really dont understand why people are keep on saying that using the same template will cause them problem. If this is true, there will be a lot of template store going to close up soon.

Dont keep that in mind if you found they doesnt make sense, stick to your gun!

Even with the 100$/day supposed review, you can still pass muster if you build out your sites (yes, even using the old default template) by giving the user a postive web experience...and obviously this means building out the site to be one that appears to be an authority site.

Most of my sites, built around this theme, are now in the 50-100 page range, include ebay ads, discussion forums, videos, tutorials, etc.

Remember: positive user experience.

I've hit $100 days on numerous occasions and have a pretty significant number of sites indexed on page 1 for their main keyword phrase. They all use my templates.

I agree with Kael's post above. You need to deliver honest, truthful and helpful content for the given search and you will stay clear of any trouble, regardless of what legitimate white hat infrastructure you are utilizing.

Do the right thing and you will be rewarded. Go rogue and its only a matter of time before it catches up to you.

As long as you keep things white hat, the template can only help you. It can't hurt you unless its so painfully slow and bloated that Google gives you a speed penalty or your users bolt waiting for it to load.

Thanks for clearing that up clickbump...

If i had 50 quality sites all using clickbumps themes, (xfactor theme) and google decides to do a check up, just because i have 50 sites that look the same doesnt give google any reason to ban. I can choose whatever template i want to use and use it as much as i like. Correct? thats all i am concerned about as my sites all follow Google TOS..

Most import thing about xfactor is John lays an excellent foundation and you can make money. Rather than going out and trying to make 25 or 100 sites, make 5 really good sites. Also don't use the exact theme, make a few tweaks of your own and mix in your own twists to make it unique.

Hi Suka, its logical to me that Google is more likely to ban behavior than design. As long as you stay within TOS in terms of ad placement, and you are providing a solid answer to the user's search query, you'll be fine.

But I would not advise building your only income stream around adsense. In my own business, I've got multiple streams of income. From adsense monetized niche sites to clickbank review sites to CPA sites, to sites that promote my own products.

Google is a fickle dance partner, and in particular, the adsense program is not one that I'd ever solely rely on for consistent income. I've said this many times, but you should only consider Adsense as a supplemental income source at best.

So you need a system that allows you to plug into any monetization method you choose. Whether you use my system or another, the infrastructure needs to be flexible enough to allow you to diversify the means of site monetization.

That's why, even though when I launched clickbump engine it was tuned solely for xfactor style sites and only contained xfactor styled themes, I've evolved it to include a variety of looks and site designs. So you can produce product review sites, authority sites, sniper sites, xfactor sites, halloween custome sites, etc.

Default Re: XFACTOR micro niche adsense program

I guess because it is very product specific it would be a good idea to throw in some amazon links just encase. At least then if you end up with 50 sites and google decides to pull a fast one, you have some sort of monetization. AND there are other advertising companies out there. the only problem is they dont pay nearly as much as google. But if worst comes to worst, then at least all that work was not done in vain.

$100 is way past my target. I live in South Africa so it R7 to the Dollar. So for me to "make a living" i would need to make $30 A day and obviously when i reach say $50 per day, i can move onto a different method of making cash online.. Im not exactly going to retire off ad sense earnings (i wish) i wouldn't be able to sleep at night

Oh and i must say click bump, thank you for making such a awesome Tool for word press.

One must ask if you provide quality rich content on your niche topic why would google ever think of deindexing you ?

You are providing a quality source of income for them and thats what Adsense is all about QUALITY CONTENT........

From the examples i ever seen of sites that have been deindexed in my opinion the content was very spammy,worthless or purley affiliate content.......

Offering nothing of note to the reader....

And we must remember if we get manual reviews by google they will have some poor guy sitting in the corner reading less than good content .......how long before he hits the big button.....

Just my opinion......

Question for Clickbump or anyone else that using these templates. On the subject of making unique and quality content (to satisfy the users experience as well as google) can you also extensively and easily customize the look and layout of these "clickbump themes"?

Besides providing quality content I also want to be on the safe side of having all my clickbump themes look different and no common footprint.

Anyone?

This isn't directed specifically at you but it needs to be said.

You already have a common footprint! Folks, enough with the "footprint" issues. If you have 200 sites all running the same adsense code, G already has all of the footprints they need. They don't need to even look at your theme.

Furthermore, those who are focusing on the theme really need to re-evaluate. There are far more pressing issues (ie. content, SEO, etc) that you should be worrying about if you plan to enter the IM field.

Am I wrong in thinking that it ultimately comes down to click quality?

Assuming your site looks, feels and reads proffessional and generates good leads, then why would Google mind if you had a thousand of them?

I can totally understand on the other hand if you are making sites that look appalling only to 'force' the user to click away.

I don't really agree with the idea of making poor content, ugly sites to increase earnings. I think visitors will click just as much on a good looking site as long as it has a layout that encourages that.

The big block beneath the title is not the only choice. I've been getting good CTR's with different setups.
