Adsense MICRO Niche Site Questions. PLEASE help!

[Tmill]

Hey warriors!

So recently I started getting into Internet Marketing after already having some experience in web design and graphic design. I can set up a fairly good looking site very quickly.

So about 4 months ago I decided to get into the Amazon affiliate program. Made about 10 sites and they were all just starting to get traffic and BOOM, amazon affiliate in california are cut off. This completely destroyed about 3 weeks of work I did on these sites and I was actually starting to make money from these sites

ANYWAYS, I am wanting to start getting into micro niche sites with adsense, but I have some small questions before I get started.


1. When making a micro niche site, what kind of traffic do you look for when doing your research?

I currently use Market Samuria and have found some keywords that have 100 visits a day for top spot in the keyword and are fairly easy to rank in. Should I go for it and make a site for it or should I be looking for more traffic keywords?

2. How many articles should I write for each site?

I plan on hand writing all my articles for better results, but how many should I make to not be wasting my time?

3. How often should I be making micro niche sites?

I want to be making over $1000 a week in adsense earnings, how many sites would someone estimate before I get near my goal?



Thanks for your help and I appreciate any helpful tips!

I actually start much lower and am happy with 10 per day.
I write one article per keyword.
No idea how many sites you need. You will have winners and losers.

Thanks for the input!

How much adsense earnings would a site with only 10 visitors a day bring?

Look for keywords in the insurance, law, loans and credit niches ... A couple of sites in those niches will bring you 1k per week if you get enough traffic and you build them right.
These are generally the best paid ones.
You should add articles once or twice per week and make them 700+ words each.

10 visitors per day will make you 2 bucks/month ...

I am looking to make micro niche sites, not sites that I will have to keep updated. Generally the keywords I will be picking will very easy to beat competition and that I will only have to set up once and never have to touch again.

Even micro niche sites need to be maintained from time to time, or they will fall out of their rankings just the same as any other site. So I would plan on that going into this.

As far as the earnings, it really depends on the cpc, ctr and traffic that each site gets. You want to make a $1000/week which would be $4000/month which equals out to approx. $134/day. Figuring my easiest competition/low traffic keyword sites average around $5/day you would need roughly 26 sites.

Of course, not all micro sites will make $5/day in fact, a lot of people shoot for a $1/day per site, which btw, I think is just ridiculous but nevertheless whatever makes someone happy I suppose.

On the other hand, if you were to build 5 - 10 larger sites targeting multiple keywords it would be a lot easier to maintain and with the proper work you could reach your earnings quite easily.

Basically, there are too many factors involved to say you need "x" amount of sites.

I like to see anything above 300/month

2. How many articles should I write for each site?

I like to focus my sites on a set of keywords and write an article for each one.

3. How often should I be making micro niche sites?

If you want to make $1000/week with micro niche sites and are new to IM you should expect it to take several years. TBH, there are much more efficient and effective ways of making this kind of money even with AdSense. You'll learn a lot as you go and will see more efficient returns as you learn. This has been my experience anyway.

Good luck!

thanks so much for the input guys! I was also wondering what type of keywords you use. Most of the things that I have found are product related, so would it be better to try using an affilaite program and selling something or is sticking with the adsense good for these micro sites?

This sort of question requires a lot more information for anyone to give a clear answer. Conversions, both in terms of clicks and/or purchases can vary from niche to niche and product to product.

We do at least 5, including the primary article. Be sure to include images!

It's cool that you want to do it yourself, but that doesn't scale well. And scale is everything in micro niche AdSense sites! We encourage you to outsource as much as the process as possible. You could use something like Fiverr for content. Check out our guide on the process:

With our process to make $1000 a week or $4000 a month you would need 400 sites. With outsourcing and dedication you could get your site cost down to as little as $50 a site. Scaling the process is up to you and how much bankroll you have to invest. We currently make more than 40 sites a week.
