Well the other day my site wouldn't go up and I couldn't figure out why. Figured out last night I needed to change the DNS servers, did that and added my articles and such to the site at 6pm yesterday.
Right now it's 11am and it's #9 on google. Awesome.
That gave me some more motivation and I bought a domain for another word I've been researching.
Probably gonna look for words all day now, haha.

Great tips titans^^ Appreciate it

with how many mini sites you have ?

thanks for the info

I can speculate with 2 possibilities why your account got banned with this site:

1.) It looks like you had your layout displayed with the ads right above your images like this:
title
ads
images

That is a no-no according to the Adsense TOS because it confuses the visitor and may "trick" them. There always has to be a line or two of text in between ads and images so that a visitor can easily distinguish an ad from the images that are featured on a site. Read more on that on the Adsense blog.

Your layout should have been:
title
ads
a line of text
images

2.) Your lack of content may have been the reason why

Hey.. Micro niche sites are always my main point of concert and now after reading this thread of yours I'm really feeling like to dominate this world too. However I have done some keyword research and got few micro keywords.

What should I do if .com .net .org domain on those keywords have been taken? But .co.uk and .org.uk are still available.. Is it a good deal to go with .co.uk?

However I can only see xxxxxxx. org in the first 10 searches..

I hope you'll reply this question of mine..

Is it fine to go with wordpress?

Hi, am interested in this idea. Will try it out soon.

I understand it would be good to use WordPress, get a domain and hosting.

The thing is, how would I be able to design my WP as a static website? Just by manipulating the CSS or is there something else to it?

Or do I need to buy some kind of WP themes online? Thanks!

You make a couple of interesting points, I'm curious to know how many ppl are using multiple business names to create Adsense accounts? Is this a common practice?

do you have a specific formula for creating these, i.e. for every 100 sites you have a separate LLC?

thanx

Titan - thanks for that post. It will help me later on when I start to see results from my 40 adsense sites. Imma put the money maker into witness protection.

Have any of you ever tried to post a two digit answer? I just found out you can't. So, to make a short reply long: 38

@Titans: That's some great information you are adding to this thread. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

I would also like to know the SEO methods you adopt to rank your site no.1 on google. That is the main point of concern for me.

clickbump

Hi Akki, the SEO methods (which are but one of the 5 fundamentals of this method) go hand in hand with the other four.

Specifically, with respect to SEO, if you just cover the basics and don't go "plugin happy" loading your site with every add-on app that promises to improve your SEO, then you will be fine.

Here are some tips for enhancing your "on-page" SEO...

1) The page needs to load fast. Google has so much as said, all things being equal, the faster page gets the nod.

2) The page needs to have a title that's a match for the search term in which its optimized for. The Title IS the most critical factor for on-page SEO that you have control over.

3) The page needs to have a single H1 heading tag with keyword text that matches or complements the page's Title tag. (don't use more than one H1 per page)

4) The page needs to have valid, structurally sound and semantically correct html (or preferably xhtml) markup. It also helps here if the designer has taken time to offload ALL presentation details to a linked css (and the css is not a bloated mess which slows things down for the user).

5) As a bonus, especially for Google images traffic, the page needs to have at least a few images, whose title is a match for the search term.

6) If you want to get traffic from search providers other than Google, your page needs to have a description and a keyword meta tag which reflects its content without resorting to keyword stuffing.

Hope that helps!

wow - 38 sites. I must be doing something seriously wrong here since I have about 40 sites and earning about $2-8 a day. Quit a few of them are on first page but dancing around the 6-10 spots.

What I noticed through all my sites that are on the front page is that they can't seem to outrank those big shopping sites like amazon and target who usually have double listing. I do throw some high PR back links consistently at some of my sites to try and get it up there since it's possible I'm not earning much due to none of my sites are in the top 3.

Only time will tell I guess... been at it for about 5 weeks now. Thanks for everything in this thread.

If I was to take a .co.uk or org.uk I would only do it if it was a keyword that was mainly searched in the uk. Specific terms only searched in the uk are out there because there is different words or different words that dominate in the language. Many people searching for products in the UK are more likely to click on a uk site as well, whereas if this is a keyword dominated by USA searches than less people will click on it from that perspective imo.

You can use Google Insights for Search to find out and give some indication.

Otherwise I would most likely move on. Some people just put review, site, blog or something else after the keyword, others believe that if you do this you will find it hard to rank. I have had mixed results...but generally these days stick to the keyword only.

@clickbump:

You're welcome, I posted because I was inspired by your enthusiasm to share, you've discovered the adsense empire engine and shared it with everyone. I hope my experience can help protect that engine and get those who got banned from Google back on their feet, from my experience you can do every single thing right and Google can still ban you.

BBenamara

nice info in this thread i learn a lot from it, thank you for sharing.

akki313

Do you really think that monetizing 380 sites is a baby game. You have to add continous backlinks to all of those sites in order to let them on no.1 spot of google.. :p

clickbump

You can assign a single page as a "static page" in WordPress and this will always be your "Home" page. In your WordPress site Dashboard its, Settings > Reading > Reading Settings.

There are other ways to do it as well. For example, in my templating system I use a sticky post for the home page, this is the main keyword phrase page. I prefer to use posts for product page content and pages for static, unchanging content such as "about, contact, privacy, etc". Posts provide much more flexibility and offer post excerpts, tags, and category settings all accessible from the post editor.

Well, my understand is that ClickBump's method aims to get sites on page one, and it is having sites on page one that earns the money, supposedly (unless I am missunderstanding something . . . I don't remember reading that the requirement was to be in the top 3, only to be on page 1, am I wrong on that??).

My experience is similar to yours . . . 4 of my 5 my "ClickBump-type" sites are on the first page of Google, at #2, #4, #5, #5, but I am getting only a few percent of ClickBump's claimed earnings (one of those sites doesn't have the required search numbers (because I forgot to change "broad" to "exact"), yet is earning about the same as the others, but the other 3 are well above the requirements overall).

Is anyone here getting anything like ClickBumps claimed earnings (per site per day), by following the formula ???????

I have a question for all of the folks building these sites - do you go into Google Tools and submit your sites there (Webmaster Tools and Analytics)?

Hi Clickbump,

Thanks for the post and the answers. Sure I have learnt something and now it is time to put it into action.

And not fogetting everyone for asking the questions. Thanks guys.

Adsense is not the only game in town ya know. You can go with a different advertising network also. In the mean time, since your site is about wedding photo frames why make money off of affiliate sales from your site??? Amazon, Overstock, ect. Ebay is cpc now also in case you weren't aware.

Aside from that, if you read the thread carefully there have been umpteen posts about how you can get another adsense account...

howhai

Million ways to monetize as long as you have targeted traffic. Try CPA too

clickbump

Hi Biggy, welcome back! Hopefully some others will chime in with their approaches.

I set up most of my sites on Webmaster tools, but I no longer place analytics on new sites. I've got analytics on a few established sites that are generating enough traffic to warrant data analysis, but I don't pay much attention to it honestly. I spend more time on rankchecker and adsense dashboard than any other analytics tools.

Webmaster tools, for me is much more useful than analytics, since it shows me exactly what the G bot thinks of my site and which keywords its pimping for me. The diagnostics tools are also helpful.

I check SEObook's rankchecker daily in order to see which of my sites have movement. I take a daily screenshot of the rankchecker results and save it as dd-mm-year.jpg in a dedicated "rankings" folder for historical tracking at a glance (I don't turn on adsense on a site until its on the first page, so this helps me track potential earners).

Finally, at the beginning and end of each day, I look to adsense dashboard to track the impressions/clicks of all my sites and recalibrate my overall approach to my portfolio from there.

Hi CB, thank you for making such a gold thread.

As a noobs here, I found two best ever threads from Xfactor and Clickbump.
I just started my 8 micro niche sites for about 3 weeks ago.
My 4 sites are following Xfactor method, and 4 sites are following CB method. And yes, it's all work great for me! Though my sites are not ranked in 1st G page but they are still ranked for other keywords which I don't even predict it before. And I earn stable for about $2-3 everyday
I know it's just only beginning and I will make a lot more micro niche sites.

Btw, anyone notice that .org domain is hard to be in the 1st page? Or it's just me...

Hi clickbump, do you use Wordpress for all of your sites? Thanks.

Thanks for all the info on this thread-lots to think about! I am curious, though, how well adsense rates against other advertising networks in terms of pay rates?

joy toys

akki313

Adsense is the so far best among the all advertising networks. Except adsense personally I like chitika and bid advertisers.

Y2E

One more question, please, CB (and anyone else who wishes to share).

- When submitting to Webmaster Tools, do you submit just the site URL, or the sitemap as well.
- If the sitemap as well, do you use a plugin like Google Sitemap XL, or anything, or where do you get the sitemap.
- If someone else uses the above plugin for sitemap generation, what settings do you use - Daily, weekly, monthly, always - for spider crawl settings?

Thanks

Okay, it was more than one question.

There is a quick question going on in my mind

I just had a keyword research and found that a keyword has exact 5000 searches per month. But for that keyword I found wikipedia/keyword ranking for no.1 on google.

Is it easy enough to defeat wikipedia?
What about that keywords for whom wikipedia or other high PR article directories like hold rank one position on google for that keyword?

erazer

Often, though not always, wikipedia and other 'info' sites in the top search results indicate that the niche won't get a lot of clicks. And yes, wikipedia is tough to beat IMO but again, not always. Best to try it out yourself because who knows what your niche and approach will do?

trynagetit

Titans, can you re-post the 2 posts you previously had up or PM me them, I usually save everything I take in as notes, but ive been busy the past few days and was going to come back to your tips for not getting banned from ad sense and obtaining a LLC.

Update: The first site i built is now at number 2 on google, and the second just got indexed today at number 10, it's getting wayyy more traffic than my 1st site tho, I think this one may be a winner once it starts to move up.

clickbump

Titans, rmwebmaster's issues aside, your post was a wealth of valuable information to anyone who had the privilege of reading it before you took it down.

If I could, I would like to encourage you to consider putting it back up for the benefit of the folks who will take it to heart.

This thread is awesome (thanks Clickbump and other contributors)....I have a few questions :

1. How do you find the age of a site?

2. At what age does a site move from 'dancing in' (i.e. fairly new) to established?

3. How do calculate how many advertisers are competing for a particular keyword phrase?

The 'Advertise Competition' column in the GAKT doesn't give an actual number of competing advertisers, rather it says high, average or low. I tend to use the 'sponsored links' column in the search results as my only guide? Is there a better way of doing this?

Question regarding the Hostgator Reseller package, for anyone who has this package.

I am about to start with Hostgator Reseller package to put my 'clickbump' adsense sites on. Hostgator ask for a Primary Domain, which I presume is one that I will be happy to keep re-registering for the lifetime of the package? In other words, not an adsense site that I might decide is not worth re-registering for years to come?

Does this primary domain get used as a root domain? If so, would it matter what extension it was (.com .net .co.uk etc) which could effect the search results. I ask this as Google Webmaster tools has a Geography page which mentions how they list results on regional web searches.

Hope someone can help clear these thoughts up for me...
Thanks

Okay...so I've got a question and I know this has been discussed in the original method by clickbump...but, I've found a number of .info exact match domains for a niche. Is anybody having success getting .info domains ranked or should I not even bother?

Ves

Having problems getting my site indexed... been 2 days. I entered it into Google Webmaster Tools, Bing and put it on the links page of my other site. Also did a post with it in the sig at DP Forum. Still no sign of it being indexed.
I would happily do as Clickbump suggested earlier in this thread and put it (quietly) in the sig of another forum - if I knew which one(s) got crawled rapidly. Could anyone share this info with me via PM? I would be very greatful. Cannot reply via PM tho, not enough posts yet.
Cheers

I guess Ezine directory also places the ads just below the tittle of every articles, so i doubt if its against TOS.

VaultBoss

You are right, Blue Fox...

This was discussed here, but not only - if you search WF you will find many other threads dealing with this, too.

People keep asking that, probably because many so-called SEO experts advise using tld's in a preference order (.com, .org, .net) and not even bother with the rest.

Nothing could be more inexact than this 'urban SEO myth' I'd say...

Search Engines do not rank websites (pages, actually) based on tld, period.
All tld's are born equal in SE's eyes.

The difference is only from a human visitor behaviour, maybe.
Indeed, a human may type a short name (domain...) directly into the browser's address bar (not the search box usually available) and add by themselves an imaginary .com at the end of it...

But even that is not always true...
Depending on the country they live, people actually may first type in their own country's most common tld, rather than .com (except the US citizens, of course, who would type first .com, not .us)

However, while the above may bring in some sporadic traffic directly to a .com domain, there is no different weighting in the SE's algorithms based on that.

So, for this particular thread (clickbump method) or any other SEO related one, keep in mind that it is BY FAR, more important, to have a KW rich domain name, no matter the tld.

In the end, why don't you try it yourself? After all, the price is almost ridiculous (at least for the first year) so you won't lose much...

Hope a cleared a little bit the waters for you.

Titles near the ads is not the problem. Images near the ads is the violation.

akki313

All tld's are equal for search engines. It won't matter whether they are .com or even .info

You can check for various popular SEO keywords like check PR, PR checker. checking pagerank etc a .info domain i.e prchecker.info is rank #1 on google.

This clearly shows that SE don't even bothered about tld's of domain name.

I used to have some problem earlier.

BlueValkyrie

I noticed that on a couple of my sites that a few days after the main domain page gets ranked in the SERP's, the front page post gets ranked and the main domain serp index disappears (probably because of duplicate content) for that domain keyword. When the front page post takes over in the SERP's it is usually keeps about the same serp position as the domain page used to be for that keyword. I feel like these two pages are fighting each other for to rank.

Should I be doing my linking different? Maybe not linking to my front page article and taking it out of the sitemap? I've noticed that in XFactors template there are no links to the front page article. Any idea on how to accomplish this in wordpress?

I also usually backlink my domain for the main keyword, should I be backlinking the front page post permalink instead?

Ves

Sorry to bump my question again... but, I'm still not indexed... can anyone help as to how I can speed this up?
Thanks in advance
