Autoblogs and the stock exchange (analagy)

So last week I made an autoblog, posts articals and vids relevent to the keyword I chose, got an exact match domain although a hypened one would have been ok.. Took 30 minutes to build, monetized by adsense and Amazon.

Did one fiver gig for backlinks.

It is indexed in google but no-where to be seen for it's main keyword in the top 10 pages or more.

It is indexed in Bing and Yahoo (the same thing really) and suprisingly on page one of both for it's keyword. One week. Traffic about 50 visitors a day according to Awestats.

Since launching it earned $1.75 in Adsense.

So putting aside the fiverr gig and being on a shared hosting account with other sites it costs one dollar towards the domain name a month. So really just over a dollar a month to run.

Thats it, big deal you say, a whole $1.75.

Think about it though, if you invested $100,000 in the stock exchange and 30 days later you got your money back plus $75,000 would you not be pumped.

Yes its only .75 of a dollar here but given a little more time you might make $5.00 a month so like saying you will earn $400,000 extra on your $100,000

So just build some more and dont worry about google de-indexing you because I'm sure that click came from Bing or Yahoo. Just make sure you get a reasonable keyword to start with.

Where else can you double your money consistantly like that anyway?

Nowhere.

    That's pretty good going.

    It will be interesting to see if your traffic builds up in time.

    I'm getting more traffic from yahoo and bing now than I used to get from google before all the slaps.

    From my experience, the traffic from Bing is better quality than Google anyway. But obviously more people want to rank on Google because more people use it.

    To compare it to the stock market better, you would have to do what you've just done, but on a mass scale. The stock market is all about volume, so if you invested the same $100,000 into creating as many sites as you can, that all made $1.75 then like you said it would be a good investment.

    I've been reading that Google is de-ranking sites that have affiliate links that they can see. A member here is using a cloaking method and using achor texting to refer to affiliate sites and it's paying off very well apparently.

    maybe you can ramp up your earnings...

    What about a risk of your AdSense account being cancelled because of made for adsense autoblogs?

    Logic is good and would be better if you can consistently earn more every month. Haven't tried autoblogging as for me quality content is always better.

      Thanks for feedback. I am probably on a bit of a death-wish with google anyway. Had some excellent Original article sites up which were all doing well and on page one of google for their keyword. Then the upright seabird hit and bang, all gone. replaced with Walgreens and walmart, you get what I'm saying. The rules went out of the window, all the seo learning gone.

      So looking at other ad networks, have a theme which is easy to swop out the ads on. Experimenting now with Bing and Yahoo (quite by accident so it seems) and wondering if more competitive keywords at least in the eyes of google would be easier to rank for in Bing and Yahoo.

      My keyword had 1900 exact local searches in google per month, must be obviously less in Bing /Yahoo

      Is there a bing/yahoo keyword tool out there that does strength of competition?

      Thanks Mark

      PS The site earned another massive 2 cents this morning. :-)
