can money be made on a 1 page site

13 years ago

It is just a rumor that Goolge will delist a one page site. A stupid rumor at that. So don't worry, and go ahead with your single page website and optimize the hell out of it.

A squeeze page is exactly that; a one page site which at the end of it usually gets you to make a purchase. Do a Google search for it and you'll find plenty of examples. I don't make any money or have even tried to with one, but I know a lot of others out there do it quite well.

Thanks

Well, why not, if you have content like a video that is not available on the internet. You can also easily earn using CPA

Of course, especially if you have food search volumes for your target keywords and your website copy is compelling enough. It's one thing to drive ton of traffic, it's another thing to convert them.

Yes, you can. A few of my micro-niche Adsense sites have remained 1-page in size, because as of recently I've been focusing my attention on other monetisation models, and working on different stuff.

They can and will earn you a profit, providing you're ranking well enough for your target keyword, and providing the stats for that keyword are reasonably accurate (or at least, aren't woefully inaccurate, as sometimes happens).

Personally though, I grow all my sites to many more pages. Why would you want to keep a site as a 1-pager intentionally, when there is so much more money to be made by expanding them?

Don't forget that whilst there may be some benefit in ranking easier when you're using an exact-match domain for all your keywords, there is also a benefit to be had in trying to rank for new/additional keyword phrases on a site that has already established some authority, through age and backlinks. That is to say, often you will require less backlinks to rank a page on an authority site than you will to rank a page on a brand new site. That is true even of a new site utilising an exact-match domain, in more competitive markets.

I don't want to be creating any more work for myself than is necessary, and I'm sure you don't, neither ... so, you might perhaps reconsider the "single-page-site" model.

You have given me an interesting point of view with you thoughts. Does it mater what kind of keyword the main site is targeting? I have a site that has a good PR but the niche is to hard to get to the first page. The domain is not keyword related. Would you reccomend me to make it a multi small niche site?

Thanks

yes my one and only site is 25 pages but after micro niche finder's new update i found out that my main keyword only receives 200 monthly searches as suppose to 5,400 when i first check but many of my other keywords get a fair amount of traffic but i didn't know if i should stick with this site or move on. i guess i could backlink to every single page so they rank high in the serps.

Thanks

If you are having only one page, that is selling some (example) highly wanted book-you can make money. Offer some service, sell one or more products...

You can defintely make money off a one page site - however..

Getting it to rank in the SERPs will be tough for profitable keywords.

If you only want to have a 1 page site then you should make sure you have another way to drive traffic to it. Set up a 1 page presell review for a clickbank product and drive traffic to it using article marketing, videos etc.

Thanks
