Just sold adsense network for $3000!

13 years ago

Good show! What is it that made you want to sell rather than just hang on to them and enjoy the passive income? I always wonder why people prefer to flip sites, though I guess the buyer is always taking on a potential risk...

So the old clickbump method is still going strong? Have you adapted it in any way, or are you pretty much following the original method?

Thanks

I sold so I can have money to build more sites.

Plus I already made some great passive income and 3K is great money in a lump sum.

Yea I pretty much use clickbump method for keyword research and then do my own method of backlinking which includes profile linking (xrumer) and blog commenting (scrapebox) and article marketing (article marketing robot).

So these are the only tools you use? Do you do any press releases or edu/gov links?

OK, the flipping philosophy makes sense there if you want to invest further, sure. And if you are confident you can find good outsourcers and get them organised properly.

As for backlinking, aaaa... That's my problem with the Clickbump and Xfactor methods - the mini-niche approach still works great but I just don't see sites getting ranked with no backlinking anymore, so it all comes back down to that. I am finding lately I have to put in some (compared to before) major work in to shift a micro-niche site up to the top of page one, even though page one is dominated by crappy eHow and EMDs with almost no backlinks. Dunno what's going on there, maybe domain age is a bigger factor now...

Anyway, sounds like you are onto a winning strategy!

Some sites get to the top easier than others that seem like they would be tougher to rank for. Its crazy, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to it.

EMD is very important and it seems it takes a lot more work to rank a non EMD domain, even is you just put a small prefix or suffix on it.

But I still rank those as well.

Dont let anyone fool you, xrumer is your friend. I have a guy do all my xrumer for me as I dont have the software or care to learn how to use it, I have better things to do.

Also use scrapebox every week, steal the competitions backlinks with it, this works great.

Bookmarking demon and AMR work very well too.

If you consistantly do these things and keep adding content on a weekly basis you will reach the top 3 for a small to med size competition niche in 2-10 weeks with no problem.

Thanks

It seems that you don't using the 2 content pages model either....

How many pages do you have on the sites ?

It depends on how competitive the niche is ?

It depends on how hard it is to rank.

But usually all the about and privacy PAGES and everything else is just POSTS. With a post on the front as a sticky.

Usually I start with 10 articles of 500 words, (I outsource this) and use like 6 of them for the site and 4 or so for article marketing.

All the articles will be LSI or Wonder Wheel keywords.

If I am having trouble getting in the top 3 then I'll add like 5 more articles of content to the site.

So The largest sites may have a total of like 20 posts of 500 articles.

Thanks

$75 an hour isn't too bad. So why are you just going to build twenty? Why don't you outsource the work and build 100? That $4,500 would just about pay for a years work for someone in the Philippines to do all the work for you. And then you could have $30,000 for your trouble.

  As far as EDU and GOV links I use scrapebox to find them and then auto post.

No WSO here I just told you all my tricks that I used for this whole thread.

I am adding in something new on the research side going forward and hopefully it will be much more lucrative than a WSO. Especially I dont want everyone else doing what Im doing. Face it, no one will ever give you any real great money making secrets in a WSO. It would be financial suicide.

I believe that the initial keyword research is the most crucial part in the whole process. All the rest is just mechanical and outsourcing.

  I put all my profile links in RSS feeds 100 at a time and then bookmark these feeds with BMD.
  
  I also run the feeds through some auto approve lists in scrapebox.
  
  I ping them too, but like everyone said this may not do too much.
  
  I have my xrumer guy do like 500 PR1-PR3 profile links at a time for each site, then I might get like 100 of those indexed maybe.
  
  If I need more after a few weeks I just do 500 more and then index those too.

Just get more links. They'll get indexed, eventually.

You could try pinging them but I doubt it helps much anymore.

As far as choosing a niche I use Clickbump Method you can read for hours about it here:

http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...-answered.html

I do as many links as I have to to hit the top 3 in google.

I guess an average would be around 300 INDEXED Likns which means getting/buying 1000 links.

Dont know what you mean by question 3

As fr as traffic it varies on the niche

Now I'm going to build around 20 more sites and hope for the best.

If anyone has questions on how I do it go ahead and ask below!

I may not be understanding it correctly, but if I am, and if you made $1962 over the past 6 months from Adsense earnings with the sites, you should have fetched upwards of $6000 (18 months) for the lot...

It is very hard to get 18 months income for a site these days.

Have you sold anything recently on flippa?

It is hard enough to get 10 months income.

The sites averaged around $300 per month so I took $3000 for them and that was the reserve. It didnt hit until the auction was 3 hours from over and it was a 7 day featured listing with verified analytics and adsense.

Like I said revealing the Niche(s) wouldnt be fair to the new buyer.

They are all adsense sites focused on EMD and related keywords that get decent search with low competition.

That is the real trick, finding niches with good search numbers that you can rank in the top 3 for.
