Does more pages equals more income?

Hi,

I've had a few information websites with adsense on them for around a year now, and they are making a few dollars not anything big, yet. Can I expect to have an increase in adsense income if I increase the number of pages. Should they all be around the same keyword, or should they all just be around the basic keywords?
For example if I have a site about 'blue 2009 widgets', do the new pages have to be around 'blue 2009 widgets' or will just 'widgets', 'green widgets', etc. be good?
What do you do?
Do you need to do external linking to all these pages, or is it sufficient to just link to them from your own pages? It seems that it would take a lot of effort and money to optimize each page.

I can see that some people have some sites with thousands of pages on them. How do you do that without violating copyrights, is that the way to go and is google ok with it?

Thanks.

Regards,
Thomas

    yes... more fish in the barrel, the greater your chances of shooting one. As long as all of these pages are receiving traffic your odds of making money should increase.

    For example if I have a site about 'blue 2009 widgets', do the new pages have to be around 'blue 2009 widgets' or will just 'widgets', 'green widgets', etc. be good?

    You could theoretically have a site where every page is about something completely different and as long as you properly SEO and backlink every page according to it's content they would all rank well for their given topic.

    But, it would be easier to have a site about 'widgets' and then a page about 'blue widgets' and another about 'red widgets'. Keeping your entire site 'on-topic' (I think) is going to give you better overall results.

    Do you need to do external linking to all these pages, or is it sufficient to just link to them from your own pages?
    External linking to all of your pages will help give them all a boost. Internal linking is important as well.

    Pick a broad main keyword for your index page, 'widgets'. Your backlinks to your index page should all have the anchor text 'widgets' with a few variations for an organic look.

    When you add a new page about blue widgets, add some backlinks to that page with the anchor text 'blue widgets' also with a few variations.

    Monitor your results and add links accordingly. You should see your site rising in search results for your main and long-tail keywords and all of your pages should be sharing juice with each other and helping boost each others results.

    It seems that it would take a lot of effort and money to optimize each page.
    Yes and no, I use wordpress (but not for blogging) so each new page is as easy as writing a new post. Most of the on-site SEO is already taken care of by the theme and I just need to worry about text stuff, H1, H2, H3, image alt tags etc...

    that about sums up how I do it... that'll be $19.95 please.

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks alot. You really put alot of effort in that.

    How do you do external linking to each page if you have let's say 1,000 pages? That would really take up some time doing that manually.

    Regarding sites with adsense with thousands of pages, do they simply gather content from other sites and (automatically) rewrites these and then publish them? Is that legal and will it not just end up with thousands of pages with not-so-good content?
    Is there another way?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Thomas
