Hi Clickbump,

Great thread many thanks. I have actually read through the whole lot as preparation for xfactor type sites. I really like your simplified approach as I did not fancy all that article marketing myself (not in a lazy way though).

I have one quick question which I hope has not been covered as I have seen a lot of questions on here been repeated even though they been answered and I know that can be annnoying, so here goes.

In simple terms do you "Set & Forget" your sites. I have gotten into the habit of spreading the building of one site over a week or 2 as I have the idea in my head that G likes fresh content drip fed. If S&F works for you then this is a great option to try as I can knock up WP sites pretty fast.

I have a quick question regarding the privacy policy page. Currently I simply use xxx.serprank.com/privacy-policy-generator to generate the policy for my sites.

The question is, will Google see this as duplicate content and punish me in any way for using that same template each time?

Thanks!

Cool, one more quick q . If you have a juicy keyword that flies through your 5 criteria and you see a MFA site on the first page do you

a) Carry on regardless and draw up the battle plans to nuke that sucker

or

b) Run for the hills like a terrified little girl

or

c) other

The short answer is "no".

One caveat though. Make sure that you use a commonly used privacy policy statement in order to avoid footprinting your niches. In other words, if another adsense publisher happens upon your site and lifts a phrase from your privacy policy (or any content for that matter), then inputs it in a search engine, are they likely to only see your sites? If so, you need to randomize your content.

I'd say this is a possible indication that the niche is ripe and ready for harvest.

hey, what you do to get traffic...
only linkwheel, signature at the forum. or something else ..?
thx....

clickbump

Pure SEO! (specifically following the 5 fundamentals in post three of this thread and discussed herein)

I don't get traffic from linkwheel or forum sigs (not that there's anything wrong with that, its just not my method).

Forum sigs, in my method, are used solely for quickly indexing the site to get it on the search engine.

Clickbank,

I saw up front that you have used keywordphrase.com, keywordphrase.net, and keywordphrase.org.

In my niche, plenty of those are parked and the owners want thousands.

So how about variations like keyword-phrase.com? Do those work as well?

My best advice is to move on to another niche. In my experience, I have not had success with dashes in the domain for *these types* of sites.

Sandy Cormack

Sorry, I did not explain. My situation is different from yours - my niche is my consulting field.

I like the idea of keyword-based domains to collect leads and make sales. So I wouldn't be using this for adsense revenue - I'd say 90% leads and 10% sales.

The keywords I have in mind for this show a desire to purchase services/products in my niche. So I think this method could be effective for me.

But if the keyword-phrase.com format is not as SEO friendly, I might want to rethink.

Thanks for the post.

I am starting out in a niche that has a single keyword phrase that I bought the .com for. MNF shows the top ten as having 0 or 1 backlink with the measure of backlinks checker. It is all interior Amazon and Nextag type results. I just launched the .com today & my plan is to use Web 2.0 properties on the other 9. The .net & .org are available. Should I buy them & set them up as well? And if they are all using the same wordpress theme will that hurt?

I have never had the opportunity to try to leverage the WHOLE 1st page of Google & wonder what kind of adsense EPN & Amazon income I can expect from a single phrase with 1000 monthly searches and $4 ad cost?

Best Regards,

Andy

There are methods out there, through which you can beat the parked domains. The domains are not dangerous as they are not competitors. You should go with your desired keywords with a little variation or placing a number at the end such as keywordphrase1.org and it is going to work if you work a little on SEO.

Hi Kaitokid, nothing more than the 5 fundamentals. I've got sites that I launched in September and haven't touched in months still earning very solid daily incomes...

Hey Everyone, I've been a member for a month and lurker for longer, but haven't posted until now. This is my first post! I have a few sites up and had a question on bookmarking to get indexed faster.

Clickbump/Tom - do either of you have a good resource on how a complete newbie can get started with digg? I see a lot of talk about it but no "rules to the game" or a method similiar to this thread. Also, my sites are html and do not use rss. Any info is highly appreciated. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge here. It has helped me a great deal.

clickbump

Hi Dave, perhaps Tom can chime in with his take on Digg, but I don't use it anymore because the links are no-follow now (at least in my experience). My indexing method is discussed earlier in this thread (search "sneaky punctuation trick").

I have a quick question...

I bought 5 domains and set them up on my hostgator account, and I was planning on adding the content to the sites in a couple of days. Before I was able to add the content and setup the pages, my sites were indexed with nothing on it. They were indexed just with the cgi.bin folder.

So, now that I have content, what is the best way for my site to get re-indexed or up to date with the content I actually added?

Thank you!

One quick question Clickbump.

Have you used Drupal before? If so how would you optimize SEO?

Jay27

Thanks for all the valuable information you've given about making money with adsense.

I make around 10 bucks per day with adsense with a couple of sites that managed to do well with time. Much time.

Because of xfactor and you, I see that adsense success can come much faster. And I ****ing *NEED* to succeed one of these days.

I've got almost EVERYTHING I need in place. I know how to build sites, research keywords, promote my sites, etc.

But there's one thing missing.

I see you adsense-winners talking about the endless supply of niches available. And I can see you're telling the truth so I KNOW this to be true.

But honestly... I don't SEE this yet. I seem to be unable to break into SEEING all those millions of untapped niches and keywords.

For example... I go to amazon and browse popular products. I'm having a look at the home & garden bestsellers page on Amazon.

Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator

So I enter this in GAKT and the results it returns are very depressing. There is not 1 keyword with higher than 2500 global searches that I could use to dedicate a site to.

And it just goes on and on like this man.

Why the f#$* can't I find niche after niche after niche, the way you winners can?

================================================

I could go on like this forever, but I think I've made my point.

You guys can see I'm trying, can't ya?

I see nothing but FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Look... I want to believe it's possible to make a quick buck with Adsense.

I see winners talking on the forum about doing this. I do not think the world is yanking my chain. I want to start seeing the niches myself as well.

But with nothing but FAILED keyword research, I'm sure you'll understand...

I just don't believe that it's possible.

I would like to shatter that belief and see the light.

But I don't know if I'll ever break into it, man...

I am severely down at the moment.

Thanks Scott some good advice given I have a number of sites on page one, some with over a 100 million results .

Hey,

Great thread! Just a few questions that have been bothering me:

-Is it important to get websites on different servers/IPs? I mean seo-wise, will that make a difference?
-I've been thinking of getting a VPS, which one would you recommend and whats the usual ram I should go after? I'd be hosting these micro niche sites and a few other bigger ones.
-How much should I expect from a #1 ranking site that gets about 2k searches a month? I believe I've implemented AdSense and Amazon very well - one right below the title, one on sidebar and an amazon banner within the content.

Evita

Why do you call those failures?

Look. Some days I can spend 4 hours and not find one good keyword.

You just keep going...

Then other times you find a whole cluster within some niche.

A lot of the keywords above are common names. Forget about things like "cordless electric lawn mower " . You are not going to find a domain for it. Or, you are VERY unlikely to.

Winners, as you call them, probably spend a TON of time finding keywords.

You do need to change how you view this. Being negative won't help. If after doing research for a bit of time you feel you start slipping into negativity land, then go do something else and come back later. How much time do you have into keyword research and do you have good tools?


Reread your post. With your belief system it will not be easy for good things to happen.

That is your first job. Become more positive.

clickbump

You can't "turn it off" per say. What you can do is to work around it by clicking the little tiny "100" link that's the next to last link under the Google search box (see attached).

When you do this you are presented with the top 100 (as opposed to just the top 10) results and for some reason, google does not use personalized search for this query.

Great advice Evita. And well said too.

That's why my sig says what it says. Its all about persistence. But you need inspiration to "keep rollin on"...

clickbump

I feel you. I've been there. You are going to have to adopt a different mindset and temperament than you are expressing. Otherwise, this is just not for you and you are going to be miserable trying. This game is all about the challenge of overcoming exactly what you are experiencing. This is the norm. That's why its so much fun for those of us who thrive on it.

You will face roadblocks and seemingly impenetrable walls constantly, we all do. Sometimes you just need to step back and stop looking for niches and start looking for inspiration. Once you have that, the niches will find you, not the other way around.

Check my the first line of my sig. That's the key.

Hi Clickbump, thanks so much for your incredible post, you have revived my hope for doing minisites.

I was trying to do this for about two month now, but never got inspiration to find good niches, so just sticked to my authority site building aproach with slow progress. Now that you showed how a site can rank without articles, its has been a major relief for me to pursue this minisite approach.

clickbump

If you can get 23,900 backlinks to your page, I'd say you'd be good to go blogspot hosting or not. Not to mention over 200 million links to the site! :-)

Altug

Thanks for this post clickbump.

Generous marketers like you will have even more good Karma come your way.

I can vouch for this method too (not that anyone needs me to ) - I too stumbled upon it by complete accident but was very careful with my niche research..almost too careful to ensure that I ranked for real no-brainer keywords with next to no competition.

The method I was following actually recommended I promote these mini sites real hard but I wanted to make a few before I did that. To my surprise, 2 out of 4 blogs I've made so far are on the 1st page of Google. One product site is ranking above the manufacturer sitting at #7. No backlinks

The biggest success story for me has been a blog in the mortgage niche! I was just reading days ago on here about how hard it is to rank in this niche. My keyword has around 500'000 results without quotes (I did do other research like allintitle etc) and I'm sitting at 4th on page 1 of Google! ZERO BACKLINKS!

So keep plugging away guys..this works and works well

Hey clickbump, when you check top10 google results, is your search query in quotes ""? thanks

Wakunahum

Nope.

He looks at the top 100 to hopefully get out of the personalized search and looks at the top 10 of those to see if the competition is too high or not.

i hate to ask this question, i know that the answer is somewhere in this long thread.. can someone tell me the numbers i am looking for in the:

Y LINKS
Y Page Links

and any other number in the SEO plugin.

this is where i am abit confused.

also are shopping site with page rank 4 consider a take over position on page one.

thanks for the help.

clickbump

Before I answer your question, let me say that I've launched 5 sites in the past two days and only one of them fit the "at least 3 sites with PR less than 1" criteria.

I believe the 3 site rule is still appropriate for people new to the process and to help maximize their chances for success, but if I see at least one PR- in the top ten and an overall disbursement of low PR sites there, and the exact match count in GAKT is high (say > 10k) then more times than not, I will launch the site.

I say that because I want to put across the point that once you've done this for awhile, you begin to get a feel for what works and what doesn't instinctively and the rules are more guidelines than a rigid requirement.

I also say this to point out that the opportunities are as ripe as ever, despite the fact that more and more people are coming onboard (with Xfactor, Google Sniper and my own techniques becoming widely known).

Now to answer your question, assuming you can meet the other requirements, the page links are not as big a factor as the other items on the checklist. However, if you have a PR-1 that has 10k Y Page links then that PR-1 can really be considered as strong as a PR3 with no Y Page Links. In either case, Google ranks pages, not sites, so the Y Page links are more important than the site links.

For your question on shopping sites, they can be beat, but you need a place on the dance card first. And for that, you are looking for a low PR slot that you can overtake on that top ten list.

clickbump

Jay27, I really do want to help you here. I think you need a break. For most of your list there's nothing you can do. For example, if domains are taken, you just move on. With low volume, you just move on. That's the price of research and you can be thankful it only took you a few seconds to eliminate those niches.

However, I went through your list and I believe you should take another look at this one: atomic clock sync. When you say "high PR sites on SERP1", I want to point out...

You have a PR- page at #3 and a PR-0 page at #7
With 8100 exact matches, I'd probably go for this one if it had a higher conversion potential with more advertisers.

The one caveat I do have with this KWP is that it does not have enough advertisers and I'd likely pass on it for that reason, but not for competition. However, I want to persuade you to reset your evaluation criteria a bit in terms of opportunity and evaluating niches.

Hey so I found a good keyword that gets 2.4k local searches monthly, but when I check spyfu, it states that it gets 400 clicks daily which is around 12k monthly. That's a big difference. Who's more accurate?

By the way, I use MNF. I also checked GAKT and it says 2.4k local searches monthly as well.

I also have another question: lets say my keyword is the singular form of the word, should I also include the plurial form? (the plurial gets alot of searches and no competition, but no domain name available) How should I write my articles including the singular and plurial form? It's going to be hard. Any advice?

Thanks!

I've read half of this thread, interesting topic. Sorry to interrupt, I have couple of quick questions. Well I'm kinda new to adsense, but I'm not a newbie in IM.

- Have a site ranking well on #1 in Google, kinda wanna try your method + xfactor, will the ranking drop? (Receiving 100 UV a day)
- Why my adsense account showing a lot of click (a lot? kinda :p) but when I check the details in channels, not much as its displayed on the dashboard. (4000 impressions a day, 2000+ UV a day for a single site)

P.s: Both are different sites.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new to the forum - my first post. I am reading this thread with great interest and enthusiasm. Up to Page 8, taking (lots) of notes! Extremely greatful for the focused, informative posts on this thread. A breath of fresh air for a forum :-)
I already have 3 websites (ecommerce), of which I have achieved first page niche ranking on all three for a few years. Taught myself along the way, and seem to have arrived at the same conclusions as Clickbump regarding on page SEO - it does work. I would love to venture into niche adsense sites as I like niche research and need some 'autopilot' type income without the time consuiming Customer Services attached!

OK: Questions and requests:
1. I'm trying to sort out what software tools I need to make a good start.
I use GAKT, but haven't seen SK Tool. What's its full title and where do I find it please?

2. What does MNF stand for?
3. Is there only SpyFU to analyze adsense revenue?

I'm new to Wordpress, but understand I will need the template. Can anyone show me a website, as I don't know what the finished result looks like, and what I am trying to achieve. Also new to RSS feeds. Will need help with these later I guess!

Again, many thanks to you all.

1. I am assuming you are referring to the seo firefox plugins here? If so you can download it through your addons menu in firefox. I use seoquake myself but I guess they are all the same.
2. MNF- Micro Niche Finder heres the sale page Micro Niche Finder.
3. Yes spyfu is used mainly for estimating adsense revenue
There are plenty of templates that you could use for niche adsense sites. Clickbumps template just happens to be one of the higher converting ones and it is also easy to customize. I like to switch it up a bit myself though seeing as how everyone is using the same template.Here is the link to it though ClickBump Engine – Warrior Special Edition|clickbump.com
Also RSS feeds are easy to manage. I use RSSBOT RSSBot | Traffic Mania RSSBot - Easily Submit Your RSS Feeds To Major Online Aggregators On Auto Pilot!
And an RSS plugin for all of my sites and that is it. It gets you a few extra backlinks here and there but I use it mainly for fast indexing.
Goog Luck!

Hey Clickbump I would like you opinion on something. I have developed a system that allows me to find niches that I can rank for easily and I am not having much trouble putting up sites and getting to the first page rather quickly. The problem I am having is cracking into the top 5 where earnings are much higher. Do you personally even worry about ranking higher once you reach the first page? Or just build more sites? I know that for most of these niches I will never be #1 because the actual company or brand name holds these spots, but I would like to get higher than 7 or 8 because earnings are pretty low in these spots. Any suggestions? Thanks...
