I have no idea if you can make £3- £5 a day, but I'll definitely start a project on this keyword.

If it's a buying keyword, then it's even better.

Any niche can be good if you can develop it.
If in UK there is lot of people that need it, you can start it.
Do it before this niche get lot of competitor.
Maybe you can start an e-commerce for that product.
Then you can make innovation based on this product.

I try to have exact local searches over 2,400.

But it is very dependant - for example what is the SEO like on the top 5 or 10? high backlinks? are they also targeting the keyword via titles etc?

At those figures I wouldn't rule it out if I could find some interesting extra keywords to go along with it, but the strength of competition is important.

Consider how easy it is to build those kind of sites. If you built one per day and made your minimum £3 per day each, that comes out to £399,675 per year. This is far from realistic.

Lower your expectations. 3-5 per month would probably be a success for a site like this. A lot of minisites don't even cover the cost of renewing the domain though.

Depending on what paul wants to do with the keyword, it's not very hard to achieve £3- £5 per day. It's about £90- £150 per month - definitely achievable.

He mentioned UK search results, so I presume he is not from a developing nation. Working hard to build a minisite and then continuing the work promoting it with a goal of a few bucks a day doesn't make much sense for anyone living in the western world.

Herein lies the problem with forums and income expectation advice. What is a lot of money to a poster in one country is pocket change to someone else in another country.

Test it and find out. People can tell you all types of crap, but testing yourself is the only means of determining. What didnt work for one, Totally works for another.

Hey why not make a single page site, have walking sticks in the url (maybe buywalking sticks online.com or something along those lines! get a 700 word article wrote about it. Put your affiliate links or whatever you do in there, submit it to the search engines (IBP) social bookmarking sites, write an article and submit that, i know some people dont like them but i still submit to a few directories! maybe some blog posts and i bet your site is on page one in google within a week, then find some other keywords within that niche and do some othere single page sites then do same, maybe link some of the sites to each other.

searches of about 2000 excact are a piece of p*** to get on page one, you have 10 of those sites on keywords of same value and your bound to make some $$$'s

As far as I know, Google doesn't like "single page site" - as the big G prefers niche-content sites like blogs and web 2.0 sites. If you really read the Adwords terms and conditions - they will reject your PPC campaign if your promoted site has only 1 page.

Whether you're in affiliate marketing or adsense - try building a 5-page site as a start and drive traffic by submitting articles to several article directories.

Thanks

That depends ive made single page sites before and they do brilliant but i dont put ads on them i put links to a main website where people can buy from, also it is not affiliate sales, google likes information and even with a single page site as long as you have good content, i dont see why google would not like this.

I know a fair few people who use these single page sites and they are doing great some of these single page sites are in the top 3 search positions for high searched keywords some are 40,000 excact searches a month, some of these sites have been going for a few years and never been taken down

Also wordpress blogs alow you to make a single page site!

Thanks
