Are my sites MFA?

[cmonkey]

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I've recently gotten into the world of making a little money with Adsense, and so am new to this.

After doing a little research, and seeing some ideas, I decided to try creating some information niche websites that are optimized to specific keywords that get between 1000 and 1500 searches a month, and have a CPC of great than $1.50, according to adwords. Each site contains anywhere from 3 to 5 pages of unique information on the topic, that I have personally written after doing research.

Now I come across something called a "Made for Adsense" site, that is essentially created just to make money with adsense. These are spam websites, and they sorta sound like what I'm doing in a way. I created my sites to make money, but they are providing information written by me as well.

Here is an example of one of my sites. You'll have to go there direct, it's telling me I can't include links without 15 posts.

Obviously I am not creating spam websites, but this definition has me a little concerned that I'll be banned...

Thanks for any input, and again sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hi Cmonkey

The problem Google is having these days is that there are literally millions of websites that do not contribute to the internet in any shape or form.

If i were you I would find a niche to target and then find around 100 keywords all related to that niche.

Then simply work your way through the keywords writing unique articles of over 400 words that help or answer a common question/problem.

When i first started out in internet marketing I did exactly the same thing that you are doing now and ended up wasting over 18 months of my life. When I finally built a big website I realised how much easier it is to maintain and also how much better it performs in the search engines. A few of my websites have over 1,500 pages and make well over £800 a day from adsense which is only one form of advertisement.

While some people do extremely well from small niche websites I would not recommend going down that route as not only do key worded domains work as well as they used too but Google is punishing thin sites with every panda update.

Alright thanks for the input. I'm glad I asked before I wasted any time.

I can definitely see the days of making easy money on the net are over, from everything I've looked at. I'd even venture to say the days of making hard money are waning as well, the internet is just becoming a very crowded place...since Google controls about 75% of it all.

This post gets my vote. I believe in bigger websites - umbrella sites - and developing them with rich content. At the same time, I believe in having a few of such great websites rather than just one because you want to have resiliency rather than having a single point of failure.
