Hi,

does Josh Spauldings $5 mini site formula still work? I have heard talk about smart pricing and it's not mention in the guide. Just wondering if this method still works or not because im building my first mini site right now. I plan to build at least 25 as an experiment with his method.

    it's still working, but you need to dig deeper in keyword research since the high paying niche is very competitive.

    i suggest you start with 1-3 websites first and see how's the result instead of start with 25 sites at one time

    God bless

      Here is a quick suggestion, there are many sites that pay better than adsense. if you build your adsense sites and make a few bucks then you should change your advertising and your profits will go up a bit straight away.


      hope this helps

    what sites pay better than adsense? I thought adsense was the "king" of PPC?

      No one pays more per click then adsense. I've been on other networks and nothing has come close.

      Most people who say this around here are referring to CPA ads, such as those you get from places like Azoogle and Neverblue. These do typically pay better in the same niche as comparable Adsense clicks. However, typical CPA niches aren't the best paying Adsense niches and you have a much more narrow range of niches to choose from.

      In some niches, especially product niches, you can beat Adsense with affiliate ads from eBay, Amazon or Commission Junction.

    so adsense is still the king? Im going to build first 5 sites for this. 5 sites with good informative content that helps people. I should have no problem with adsense then I dont think.

      Of course adsense pays the most! Google has the largest network of advertisers by far and is growing daily. More advertisers competing for a finite amount of advertising space means that they will pay more per click to get exposure. My adsense earnings have continued to rise and no other network comes anywhere close to per click earnings that adsense offers.

    The $5 Mini Site Foruma strategy is still working very well for many people including myself. Just like anything else it is "hit or miss" some sites won't do as well as others, but the overall technique is still very effective.

    To the person who asked for the link, it's http://www.5dollaroformula.com/

    To the person asking is Adsense is profitable: It is if you target high-paying niches That's the key and that's what my $5 Formula leverages.

    You can build an Amazon site and do well and easily clear over $5 a day, find a method that works and scale it up, if you can build a couple adsense OR amazon sites that make enough $$, figure out how many until you reach your target goal then buy and start aging those domains.

    Truth is once you havea site generating decent traffic, you'll be able to choose from a variety of different monetization methods.

    With a product site, I usually go with Amazon out the gate becasue it's easy. If I'm getting traffic but not many sales, I'll put Adsense on it along with the Amazon. Hey, people are leaving, I'll give them a departure methid I can monetize.

    If I end up with a product site that turns over product regularly, I'll check Linkshare and CJ to see if there's another store that sells it. If there is, I almost always swtich, because the commission is uauly higher and the cookie is ALWAYS longer than Amazon's.

    I would really love to see some other advertising companies come out on the market that can compete with adsense / adwords.

    Until someone can compete with Google, it probably won't happen. Google has 70%+ of all searches, so until a competetor can steal market share, nothing will be able to compete.

    Most people who say Adsense doesn't earn enough aren't targeting the right niches That' what the $5 Formula is all about.

    I think that method still works. But you have to be smart in seo. And you should try few site first, if you see result then go for that
