Earning money from many different sites but what would you do?

8 replies
Hi Warriors,

What would you suggest this person should do to increase their earnings
based on all their sites past performance?

I've excluded their websites and traffic stats although you can see the
performance of the unnamed sites.

Your thoughts/ideas?

Thanks,
Have a Great Day!
Michael

    OK, I added the image so you can see it.

    For some reason it was to small to read as an attachment even when you clicked on it to enlarge???

    Depending on traffic stats and niches I would say they should try selling their own ads. It's not clear if we're looking at a few sites or 45 sites, so that would also change the answer. Also traffic stats or numbers would help. If it was little traffic and converting very high it might be great what they're making now, if it's a ton of traffic than the stats might be horrible.

    The chart shows 46 sites and the ads/ama refers to the sites being adsense/amazon monetized. The avg traffic was between 200-500 unique visitors a month per site. Yes I said a month.

    Thanks,

    It's still tough. Think about it this way. So far he has made no money with ClickBank, but why? Are his landing pages poor is he direct linking does he not have enough traffic?

    For Amazon some sites made money, some haven't. Are the sites that made more money more targeted than the others?

    If you look at it the Adsense/Amazon sites are doing great with those traffic numbers maybe add those to the other sites and still keep the ClickBank for example (if possible) or CPA network.

    I'm guessing even on those Adsense/Amazon sites the Adsense is where the bulk of the money is coming from (if not all). The truth is Adsense converts like crazy. A good page will convert about 3-7% of the traffic into a click and that's money in the bank.

    People sleep on Adsense but it's a big money maker because it's the easiest conversion, all it takes is a click.

    One pattern you'll notice is he isn't making any money with ClickBank so I would scrap that for now if the sites aren't strictly product based. If not I would keep it if it's free to host (reseller account or whatever). Add Adsense maybe.

    With traffic that low even selling your own ads you aren't going to make much unless it's a local site.

      You have to take in to account the site's date of inception which is listed on the chart as the "Date Built".

      Then you should look to see which month it began making money and compare that to the "Date Built".

      Keep the winners, ditch the losers, rinse and repeat!

      Have a Great Day!

    I'm surprised that their aren't more replies to this thread?

    It must not be worthy...lol

    Seriously, Do you think with only 200-500 unique visitors a month per site
    that building more targeted traffic is the answer. Some of the sites seem to
    be doing well considering the small amount of unique visitors per month.

    Thanks in advance,
    Have a Great Day!

    If that was my portfolio, it would be way too big for me to manage. I'm assuming a single person doing the work, with almost no outsourcing.

    If these are content sites, I would put energy into putting more content on the 24.02.10 ads/ama site that pulled 195.05, and the 08.06.10 amazon site that pulled 118.58. If there's already original content, I would beef them up by publishing articles from directories.

    I would also focus on whatever clickbank site(s) is/are getting the most traffic, and do what it takes to make that work. It's good experience to gain.

    And if that's an IM blog, I would blog about it all and make regular posts as I learned more about how to make ads, amazon, and clickbank work. I'd also make sure the blog has a samurai affiliate link.

    The others I would let age, and see how they do on their own.
