Is it worth it?

Sharger,

From what you are telling me I would say "sure" have a go at ranking for this keyword.

Firstly, from what you say an exact match domain name on a low level keyword should be easy to rank for (just make sure it's a .com/net/org).

If the competition level is below 300,000, then this domain should help alot.

You'll probably want to put up at least 3 article once you have made the site and scheduale another 1 each week for 2 weeks after your site goes live.

So in the end you should have 5 article + privacy and sitemap for your site which should do well for ranking for that keyword.

I think it would be worth it as even just 1 click would cover the hosting cost for this and you can expand on other keywords if you succeed with ranking well from the first one.

If you find you don't get the number one spot, then don't be afraid to rewrite one or two of your articles and submit them to Ezine or another High pr article directory.

You could also try social bookmarking to get some trust early on.

But yes, if you have had some success with ranking in the past, then you should go for it.

I would go for it, however you should know that just because Google shows a CPC of $12 doesn't mean you'll get that per click. You won't even get half of that.

I have websites in the finance niche where the CPC's hover around $15 or so and while I may get the odd $5 or $6 click, all the others are roughly at $1.5 or $1.75 on everage.

You should get the EMD but then develop your website into something fairly larger than a normal Xfactor type site.

Sure its worth it. It is practice, the steps, the speed everything you do is practice for the next keyword/niche.

1. Don't use bluesense. It looks like a typical MFA. Get a good theme and then optimise the ad positions with a good adsense plugin like "All in one adsense and YPN plugin"

2. As for the types of articles and length.. I'd suggest writing as much as is needed to put your point accross. You need to stop and think of how valuable your visitors will find your site. There's no point in getting a rigid framework and following it. Your niche will tell you what type and size of articles you need. Your niche will tell you whether videos will aid in providing good info or not.

yeah.. I'm aware of it. I started a thread about it around the same time as he did. I found out you just need to put a zero inside the donation amount box and it doesn't share revenue with the owner.

Hey Sharger, can I ask why you think this is worth it, if it only just pays for hosting? Wouldn't you rather target a phrase that gets 5,000 searches per month with a $10 phrase and work hard on that until it ranks and produces a passive income? Just curious is all.
