You need extremely heavy traffic if your traffic isn't targeted. For example, if you run a forum or blog around a wide variety of topics, you might end up having an extremely low CTR. If you have an extremely low CTR, you're going to need heavy traffic to make up the difference.

If your sites are categorized around a particular niche, you'll notice that your CTR is much higher because all of your traffic is targeted/related. If it's all targeted/related it's more likely your ads are going to be closely related to your content which will give your readers more of what they want or are looking for, specifically.

I have the capital to set up a fully outsourced situation and it really appeals to me. That said, I am not sure about outsourcing keyword research and off site SEO. I am good at making sites so that is something I can handle myself.

Where / what do you guys look for as far as research and seo when setting up a fully outsourced system?

[TryBPO]

Our SEO needs are fairly limited as (someone else mentioned) we've focused on creating more sites with less seo up to this point. Maybe someone else can speak better to that.

We're in the same boat as you when it comes to KW research. Right now, my partner and I trade off weeks and do the research ourselves. We've been putting together a plan that will allow almost all of the work to be done by the crew, with final decisions still made by one of us, but we've haven't quite finalized or implemented the ideas yet and so are hesitant to release it.

As soon as we've tried it out and seem to have it working (4-6 weeks) we should be able to better explain how it's working for us. The basic idea is to have pre-planned general topics to research, guidelines to follow using Market Samurai, and then a numbering system that rates the competition based on several factors. We can then review their final choices and give approval for those we want to go with.

That sounds pretty sharp. I do KW research in MS myself but I am a bit too new to have a lot of faith in my ability. I have like 2 MFA sites earning and about 7 floundering. Mostly because they are not on page 1, but the question is did I pick too hard of a niche or am I just terrible at link building? :]

Awesome Job!

I would rather call them ""fairy tales" instead of stories.

If you have done your keywords research properly, and have MFA sites which have a monthly search amount of 1000-3000 etc, with an EMD, it should not be too hard to get it ranking, just takes a few back links, and good on page SEO, however, check your competition on the first page, and see how well they have their websites optimized, and try to make yours as good, or even better then theirs, and results should start climbing, add a few high PR backlinks too, and the results should slowly start happening.

Hope this helps!

I don't think OP cares anymore. And if you've done any micro-nice sites, you'll realize these numbers don't add up.

What kind of micro niche sites have you done?

[escribe]

Congrats! It's always good to start somewhere and then build from there. Good for you for having a plan and taking action.

What type of internet marketing do you think has the best potential to bring in a decent revenue for someone just beginning?

Could not agree more!

Quite true, micro sites can come under the radar of google anytime as they dont offer any value to the visitors, what google needs you to do is, build micro niche sites (yes!) and then outgrow from their, start building other keywords related to that niche on the same site, make it an authority from their onwards for that niche, this sounds better and goes down well will google as well as the visitors as they find more interesting articles to read and stay on the site, improves your bounce rate which will boost your adsense or affiliate conversions.
