Any Adsense Gurus on Here Able to offer some Tips Before I throw the Towel in?

Where are the websites that I bought that would be pushed yesterday?

Well, my calculations are correct. But those calculations are for one keyword. Try to get at least on the first page of google for some other related keywords. This is the easiest way to get more traffic.

You are not the first and I'm sure you won't be the last to fall for the "make $100s a month" from microniche websites. If you can make $10 -$20 a month per website you are doing ok. As I mentioned it is a numbers game. Some websites can generate a good income with only a little traffic but you need to be lucky. You will probably have 99 failures before you find the gold nuget that makes it all worthwhile

Missed replying to this:

Here goes:

You can't make worthwhile adsense money by just having 3-5 sites. It takes a heck of a lot of traffic to get decent number of adsense clicks. With the level of ad blindness and google's aggression in tackling accounts that over optimize or aggressively increase click throughs with certain ad placements, I doubt if your sites can generate income to retire on. You simply cannot generate that much traffic in a narrow niche.

But when you scale it up, and make 1000 sites, the adsense earnings suddenly starts looking interesting.

Most people sweat about adding more content to their limited number of sites, and get ready to throw in the towel. I have been there too.

Now I have more than 1000 micro niche sites, and the adsense earning is getting decent.

Trouble is, we read stuff on here and think we will make the best site that will rake in the moolah. It is simply not going to work.

Scale up your efforts, and see each site adding a trickle to your adsense earnings. Little drops make a mighty ocean, as they say.

Don't do it mindlessly by running out and buying domains. Buy one generic domain for say the hair loss market, and build sites on subdomains for a lot of topics in that market. Use the wordpress mutlisite feature for this. I have tested this approach, and can confidently say it works. Also saves on domain costs, and feelings of frustration when some of your sites don't perform.

Want more? Ok, I choose topics, not keywords. Get into yahoo answers and poke around - get a big list of sub topics for your market. Sites will be built around the subtopics. Instead of wasting time doing keyword research, post all types of content - it can be auto blog content too. (Adsense is not against autoblog or republished content - it is only very much against spun and machine generated junk content - they do say you have to add value to republished content by adding your opinion about the article). I have had great success posting yahoo answers content on my sites - these get you long tail traffic. As long as the content is relevant to the topic, you will get organic traffic from google. Not all your posts will rank on page 1, but over time you will find them ranking in postion 11, and slowly gain ground. Use rank tracker plugin (ranktrackerplugin.com- paul forcey product) to get email alerts on which of your pages are ranking and in which postion. Improve on those posts - add more relevant content, add a relevant image with proper alt tag, a video, whatever. Ignore the posts that don't rank - google is telling you which posts on your sites they are willing to rank. Focus on those posts. If it has autoblog content, maybe get original content written (frankly, this is not necessary and I have many sites that have republished content on them, and I have not built links to get my sites to rank - and these sites produce adsense income for me. Some make a dollar a day, some make 10 dollars a month, some make 8-10 dollars a day).

Pick 6-7 large markets - weight loss, make money, law, etc. and repeat the above process. You will spend money on buying max. 10 domains, but each of your domain will work extra hard for you in adding to your adsense income.

Repeat the process for all your domains. It is impossible not to earn with adsense. Don't throw in the towel just yet.

I never said I expected to make a living off of 5 sites, not pages. There are are least 30 pages between the 5 sites. My issue is that im averaging about 20 cents a day, between those 5 sites... Going by that, it'd take about 25 sites (150 pages) to average a dollar a day? That seems HORRIBLE
