Default Super High CTR! You Can Too!

Edit 1: Image removed, for my own security purposes (but CTR is high).
Edit 2: New image added to the link in my sig scroll down half way down the first post.

Above is a screenshot of one of my smallest adsense sites. It's just a simple, 1 page site with a few Adsense ads, and a quality 500 word article on a low competition keyword. $2/day is not a lot, but $2/day for 50 small sites is a good amount. You can make 10+ sites per day. Here's some motivation, and when this motivation makes you rich one day, just remember, Macdonjo wants to hear your success story.

Have a good day folks!

Josh

$2 a day is $60 a month, and that is almost enough for me to take the wife out to Outback and she get a tenderloin and I get a prime rib with a tall glass of draft beer.

And if you only built one of these a day for a month, that would be $60 a day with translates to $1,800 per month.

Can you tell us more, like how you chose keywords, and what you did to get them to this point of earning $2 a day. How much back linking did you do etc? And how you set up the AdSense blocks?

Good job my friend.

First of all I want to say thanks.
Keyword research: I have some SERIOUSLY accurate private tools I have, that are powerful beyond belief. I'm thinking about opening a WSO on those and you can expect that soon.
$2 a day: Get a really simple theme, or make it in Adobe Dreamweaver. Use no images, just use color fills. Just make 2 columns in Dreamweaver. Left column 20% and right 80%, so the right will be your content and left will be your page navigation bar. Add in all your SEO stuff like meta tags and descriptions, etc. SEO is simple, everyone has thier preference. I'm a ScrapeBox Auto Approve List seller (company is Elite Web Enterprises) on another forum, so I of course like to use Scrapebox to rank. Next add a few ads that are related to your theme. Place one under the header, one in the left navigation bar and one in the middle of the content.

Hope I helped! Please, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Interesting.

I have never thought that any of these expensive keyword tools are worth it as they all have to get their data from the search engines, so how can any of them be any better than Google Keyword Tool. And we all know that isn't accurate.

I would be interested to know what your search volumes and competition levels are, or what criteria do you use to evaluate the keywords you find? But I am thinking that is your secret weapon maybe.

How long did it take you to rank high enough to get some traffic? I thought this days are over when Google allowed 1-page websites to rank in top 10. You must have some killer scrapebox list

Hi Josh,

You need to change the title of your thread and remove all reference to the exact CTR you are getting for your AdSense account. Publishing that information on a public forum is a sure fire way to lose your AdSense account.

I wouldn't put much weight on stats from 15 impressions. That is far too little data to draw any real conclusions from.

Save your money & create 50 individual pages (instead of 50 sites).

Some basic math & I'll keep it simple at registering a single site at $10 a year compared to a single $10 domain.

50 (sites) x $10 = $500, that you'll have to pay once a year (every year).

Do everything the same only instead of individual sites, create a new category per page, do the same seo as If each category was it's own site.

This way If the reader bails a page without clicking Adsense you might have a 2nd chance for an Adsense click on the next page.

A lot less work IMO.

Search volume is around 1k EXACT (not broad) on Google.
I'm not ranked 1st. This is only one of my sites, I'm just trying to remember it, as I have a hand full of them. Criteria is certainly a secret weapon, which I will be sharing if I ever release a WSO.

Can't remember exactly, under 30 days. Around 20 days I think I was page 1.

They are all different niches and will be harder to rank without exact match domains.

I am currently doing this 1 big site with lots of different niches. Its true that it is harder to rank without emd but with patience and consistent backlinking you can rank them well. Overall in the long run you will save more money.

And then, I started hearing crickets... for a good long while. I think this is why they get statistical data on more than 12 person samples.
