My results of 100 sites?

I have read many post from other WF member who talk about their journey in buiilding a online income. They all have help in one way or another. So i decided to post my results for my journey on bulding 100 sites.

My Goal:
1. build 100 xfactor/clickbump adsense micro sites.
2. $50 per day income
3. learn from other who have done it and willing to help.
4. help other get to $50 per day.

At time of writing this post, this is where i am at.

22 site are created
18 are indexed
11 are on page 1
4 are on page 2
3 are on page 4 or above

4 of the 11 are in position 1-3
7 of the 11 are in position 4-10
4 that are on page 2 are in position 1-15

Tools:
Micro Niche Finder
Clickbump template
500 word article ( outsource )

Average income $3 per day.

I was hoping to be at a higher income but poor selection of KW might have played a role on this. As i put up sites and continue to learn new techinques on KW selection. ( i still think i suck at it but getting better)

If any one has any suggestion on how to increase income or position, please feel free to PM or post it here.

I am open for any questions from beginner or pros.

Good Luck to all

  • Sara at Noteworthy Tips was doing the same "challenge" to build 100 Xfactor sites. She is up to about $30 a day after 6 months and is documenting her progress. Might be worth you taking a look.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Sorry I don't have any tips or suggestions. $3 per day is better than $0 per day, so at least you are on the right track. I would be curious how much time is involved. Something I might be interested in the future depending on the time thing. Hope you reach your goal.
  • Honestly i have the same Idea and challenge to make $100 a day from Google Ads only, Fist time i had one site with the blog style, i do research on keyword as well as i can. I optimized my pages, after about 3 month i placed the Ads. After two months palcemnet i got significant income for my fisrt site until $45 a day with avarage visit about 400 to 500 unique visitors and 12% ads CTR.
    It was good but it doens't consistent now, i decide to make more sites, 3 at the same time and i put ads after a month of my those site which finally i cannot maintain my fisrt site. In the end i got the same dollers as my first experiences.
    In my openion is no matter how many site you have, you have to consistently maintain all of them to profit more. because Google will rate good on click if the visitor comes from SE.
    That is only my experience, tell me if i am wrong?
  • Mrs. S: i do follow Sara at her site i also follow mikeiser. thanks for the tip.

    Yade: I agree and disagree with you. If done correct, you can set up the site and come back to it once a month for upgrades.

    Any more tips, ideals, or questions...... shoot them out, this is what this forum is all about.

    good luck
  • based on your numbers it appears that you are enroute to make around $15 - $20 a day which is far below your goal.

    my first question is how much traffic are you receiving?

    Since we are dealing with adsense, you need visitors to click on your ads, the more visitors the more clicks, the more clicks the more money you make.

    I'm not an adsense person myself but my guess is traffic + higher payout ads are what are going to increase your revenue.

    so back to my first question, are your keywords going to generate enough traffic to convert into the desired revenue you are after?
  • As you have noted,

    Your sites are on page 1 because you chose easy keywords.

    You are earning only $3 because easy keywords will not pay much.

    I think Steve Crook has the right idea of building large sites. These little xfactor sites will make you only $0.10 per day on average...unless you are lucky and fall on a high paying niche.

    What you could do is add another 40 pages to those sites. Only then can you improve your per site avrerage.

    If I were you, I would not waste my time with trying to build 100 sites that will only make you 10 cents per day.
    The method as expressed in the manual will not really work.

    You could easily make $30 per day by just focusing on 1 site.

    • Building big sites especially if you are doing all the work yourself is not easy. You are going to provide valuable content which means going reasearch and then jotting these throughts into a 500+ word essay. Its very time consuming and tiring. And then all the other stuff that goes with it.

      Got a 40 page adsense site at the mo, the good thing about it is the ability to interlink pages for link building, but they themselves are not enough when there is no exact keyword domain. Plus related terms have a little more competetion so ranking does not come easy.

      I only moved onto to bigger strategy because apparently google frowns upon microniche, possibility of account getting banned, etc etc. Is this still true or nein?

      And with 100 sites, I'd probably be earning more money right now because little efforts is required for backlinking and SEO.

      Just because it is a bigger site, it does not mean more success then a collection of smaller sites. The important thing, assuming all the on page placement of ad and everything else is well, is the total traffic received. You can have a collection of microniches that receives 1000 visitors a day and 1 big site that gets 1000 visits a day. It equates to the same thing.

      At the end of the day Adsense is not the biggest paying ticket in town, unless you are going for a keyword thats costing the advertiser $10 or something stupid.

      There are far more profitable and possibly easier ways to make $.

  • I have about 10 websites and I find it difficult enough to keep all those going, not matter 100 websites!

    I agree with some of the earlier comments, don't build so many small sites. Add more content to the sites you have instead.

    The difficulty is always in getting links to a site, so getting links to 100 sites is a huge amount of work. If you put all that linking effort into just a few sites the results will be much more rewarding.
  • @mrmut
    Make sure there are (enough) advertisers for your keywords, and that average CPC is higher then whatever you want..

    Don't trust the tools too!
    Make sure you check each and every keyword in the SERPs, check competitors Titles, Descriptions, (URLs), try to decide by yourself does the page #1 looks too competitive.

    When researching competition, make sure you check SERPs for queries like intitle:your keyword, inanchor, inurl and so on (also try them combined)...

    I would also make my own twist to the template.

    Test. Test. Test.
  • As most people know (that have been in IM for a few years), it's really hard to make any money with Adsense these days no matter how hard you try. My biggest Adsense days were back in 2005-2006 when it was fairly easy to get indexed and make the bucks. I had a ton of mini/micro sites that churned out a lot. The upkeep was easy. It's too tough and time consuming these days. Google changed the playing field and the return went from dollars/click to pennies/click. The writing was on the wall.. do something else. I think you would be better off learning about CPA marketing and give it a ride. Hope my biased comment helps. :-)
  • First i would like to say thank you to all the tips and replys.

    i would like to also say that i would like the thread to continue as a educational post not a word match.

    let me reply to a few post:

    i have been at IM for about 2 years... i start with affilate site but could not get to page 1. no matter how much links and article, still sitting on page 4.

    6 month ago i start micro niche sites

    i moved on to micro niche adsense site because it showed me how to get on page one.

    most of my niches are product related and the main keyword gets rated anywhere from 1900 to 33000 per month.
    they have less then 100,000 phrase match pages and the cpc is over $1

    i do look at page 1 competiton and look at allintitle, allinurl, allinanchor.

    i agree with you guys explaining that you can not follow any method to the letter but you need to start somewhere. as you move on you tweak what you have and find your own method.

    i would rather have a few site that are micro site and a few site that are big sites. my goal is to find 10 sites from my 100 that are huge winners and make them big site.

    i am open for any ideas and mentoring.

    my goal was for someone to lok over and see if i am not understanding or missing a step.

    thanks

    • Hi Mrmut..

      Thanks for putting up all this great info and sharing your story.

      Just wondering when looking at allintitle, allinurl, etc., what are your guidelines for going with a certain keyphrase/title/url...?

      What's the range amount that you are targeting?

      Great thread.

      Thanks,
      Liz
  • Starting with niche sites and building out the winners into authority sites is what I would recommend. Makes sense to me
  • I forgot ....

    Quick update:

    i have made 6 more site. focusing more on the keyword and strength of competition.

    after reading some of these post i have questions on getting into big niches?

    how would you get into a niche like diet,health and beauty, etc. when most of the keyword are take as domain and the ones that are not have low search volume.

    i thought that SEO starts with having the main KW exact domain.

    thanks

    • I am not a pro, so you can take my advice with a grain of salt. I have been online for 10 plus years selling real (non informational type) products. Through the years my product category has gotten way over saturated over 63 million competitors so be exact- so I have been on a slow sinking ship for awhile. I enjoy designing and creating websites so I started dabbling in a few niches.

      I wanted to do a health niche because I seen how outrageous the **** berry thing got and I thought it would be a fun ride. I seen a fun new new product coming, with all the bizarre health claims. I decided to jump on it- I was hyper and enjoying writing articles- It was interesting because it was the first time I noticed other people taking my material and re spinning it as their own content. I added adsense, and a amazon astore and google did not love me, but guess what, it is 6 months later and now google is loving me a little more everyday and I am seeing large orders in my astore, and I am not even in the top 20 anymore because forbes, usa today, and several other large news places covered the same product and temporarily pushed me out of the way. But several of the manufacturers of the products I am selling are retweeting my posts and reviews about their products. I just bought a product on warrior forum to convert my amazon astore into actual posts- I am crossing my fingers on that.

      It is funny because sometimes I will go without making a dime and others I will earn $10 in commission at amazon. I am now at about $20 month on this website between Amazon/ adsense, and I think this has the potential to be a $100+ a month website, if I keep pushing to make it better

      I think the health industry is doable, if you keep your ears open and listen for the next greatest thing. There is always going to be a new miracle pill, excersize machine, juice or berry that is going to cure all of your ailments. Just please watch out for them affiliate programs that offer you $40 for signing a customer free trial sample. Because the customer is most definitely gonna get raked over the coals for a couple $80 charges they where not aware of-

      I guess the point is keep trucking, and trying different things and if there are topics you enjoy in some of your domains take the time and to exploratory surgery on the subject and it exploit it to the max.

      P.S. Just a side I have taken domains because of the cash potential and absolutely hated the subject matter because it is financial in nature and it has bored me out of my skull, never made in money with these because I am not passionate about the subject matter (rather have teeth pulled)- just a though while you are collecting those 100 or so domains
  • SEO does not REQUIRE main keyword in domain. It just helps. I'd start by building a site around the main keyword, using it in some form in the domain, and then building out 20 or so additional pages targeting related keywords.
  • i havent had luck doing that but it might have been my KW selection.
    • [1] reply
    • The recent popular "methods" for adsense recommend highly specific product-targeted domain names.

      But that's not a necessity when you are building a larger site.

      For example, you might have a domain that is

      healthresources.com (or even health-resources.com)

      You could then add either subdomains or folders for specific keywords.

      The subdomains are viewed as a standalone site by SE's while the folders create a larger single site based on health resources.

      If you created a subdomain you could have

      kneebraces.healthresources.com or knee-braces.healthresources.com

      That subdomain would be optimized for the specific keyword phrase.


      If you choose to use folders, you would have

      healthresources.com/kneebraces

      If you search the term "knee braces" and look at the domain names, you'll see what I mean. (I have no idea what the numbers are - this is just an example).

      That's a good approach if you want to build larger sites that have the potential to become very large sites in the future as finding new products/keywords to add to such a general niche is not hard.

      The one thing you can't control that will help you over time with your sites is simply....time. Google likes domains and sites that have been around for a while and there is no way to manipulate the age of a new domain/site.

      That's why I'll launch a 20 page site, add to it for a few weeks and then let it ride for a while while I work on other things. Every so often I go back and add more content as the site ages.

      I spend no time checking stats on new sites daily and I add links and articles consistently rather than quickly.

      Point is - there is no one approach that works. No matter which approach you use it is the quality of the site and the amount of real content that determine the profit long term - at least that's what I've found in years of doing this.

    thanks for the details that help alot. 3 of my oldest site due well, and i also believe it because of age.

    good luck
  • Very good plan, do you outsourcing your works or do it by yourself.
  • Thats not to bad bad but, if you have all the sites indexed, i think you could be making $3 per day with just one website, i think you should take your time and perform SEO on the highest paying niche you have you can check that with the adwords keyword tool.
  • antonio: I a planning to break up my 100 site into groups of 20. the group of 20 sites will be SEO for further potential.

    my problem is that i am learning all my SEO by word of mouth and reading on the net and that can be trouble.

    It will be nice for anyone to help out on that. If you check out clickbump template, they are pretty simple to fill in the seo part but i dont know if i am doing it correct.

    Update:

    found 6 KW and planning to create site over the weekend.
    1 KW is in a Adult CPA offer.. let see how that works out???

    good luck

    • mrmut,

      I was doing exactly what you were but changed my focus a little bit and found my income started taking off.

      100 sites is a lot to maintain and simply deal with!

      I've gotten up to about 30 (plus a few non AdSense oriented sites). Some make more money from Amazon etc. but they are all Xfactor type microniche sites.

      What I found was I has a hootload (that means a lot) of sites sitting on Googles page 2. I've refocused the last few weeks on adding content and backlinks to the most promising sites, moving page 2er to page 1 and moving page 1 sites higher up in the rankings. It's working so far.

      So, my advice is keep your mind open as your number of sites increases. At some point, whether it's 20 or 100 or 200 sites, you may want to focus on existing sites instead of building more and more.

      Good luck!
      • [1] reply
  • lol stop listening to people who say the XFactor method does not work. Your site will get picked up by Yahoo and Bing as well, and from my experience, users who come from those two search engines tend to click on ads a lot more than Google. I am getting about 50% CTR from those two search engines.

    Average CTR for April is 20-21%

    One of my site went from rank 4 to 3 and I saw a huge boost in earnings per day.

    If you see an xfactor site on page 1, do not be afraid to beat it. Most of these people who are following that method are not building backlinks. They just write a few articles on Ezine, Hubpages, Squidoo, and then they call it a day.

    Make sure the domain is an exact match .com, .net, .org and no hyphens. I have tested a few domains on keywords that get searched about 1600-2000 times per month, and the hyphenated domains ranked a few pages back while the non-hyphenated started in page 1 or 2
    • [1] reply
    • Very true - I had an xfactor site on page 1 and a copy of my xfactor site appeared one spot higher. I had the .net and they had the .org. I spent some time backlinking and now I've left him in the dust and I've got PR2 with over 100 backlinks and he's PR0 with 5 back links.
  • Oh and people who say that their XFactor sites are getting banned, it is because your content is total crap.

    For example:

    "Are you looking for yellow rain boots? I like yellow rain boots because that is my favorite color. When I come back home, I clean my yellow rain boots because I love them so much.

    There are many stores that sell rain boots. If you can't find your favorite pair, just go online and look for special sales. I highly recommend that you look at many sites to compare because some sites sell cheaper rain boots than others."

    THEN... these same people would complain in forums, "OMG I was following XFactor method to the T and I got banned!!!"

    If you are going to write about yellow rain boots, then talk about the good price that you found online, the quality of the yellow rain boots, what your friends think about the boots. If you are a potential customer looking for yellow rain boots, wouldn't you want to know a good price and the quality of the rain boots?

    Also, I highly recommend that you link out at the bottom of your xfactor site to authority sites. For example, Target dot com, funkyrainboots dot com, etc.

    Now you are genuinely helping people to decide which yellow rain boots should they buy.

    Hope this helps!
  • I totally agree that XFactor/Clickbump type sites should not be totally dismissed out of hand, they can be a good starting point for generating some passive income. But as misterkailo says content quality does matter. Choose the micro sites that are performing best in terms of traffic and build them into larger sites offering affiliate products, this should give you extra income whilst your other micro sites are ageing which should help your rankings.

    • Hi bro,

      How are you?

      You know, I've been at this game a long time.

      If you don't me, I've sold millions online. Not that it's all been roses. And not that I netted all that. I didn't. In any event....

      Here's something that will get you where you want to go.

      You'll notice a few other brothers and sisters here who are also doing Clickbump or Microniche sites. Make friends with them. Start your own little Mastermind together.

      Stick to the model you're on and tweak it. Don't jump ship just because someone says microniche sites suck. Everyone has their path. You have to stick to a path long enough to learn the nuances and let it pan out.

      So get a little group together with some brothers and sisters who are all into the same basic method. Now pull a few bucks together and pay Xfactor, Clickbump or someone else to spend an hour or two on a webinar with your group.

      Now you're all smarter.

      Do that once a month. Or once every 3 months. Share your results. Make each other smarter. And try an innovation here or there.

      You're on a good path. You're learning some things. Now figure out where you've gone a little off kilter and tweak your process.

      You might also try the same model as you have now but with amazon as the monetization. That seems to work for some.

      Also, with things getting a tad more competitive, you might need to throw in 1 or 2 extra backlink methods. Maybe you throw in a press release (or outsource). Or throw in some profile links or whatever.

      In short:

      1. Team up with others and learn together

      2. Pull your resources and pay someone with better results than you to give you a helping hand if they are willing.

      3. Tweak things until you see an improvement.

      Once your team members start to do well or better or have breakthroughs, others who are even more successful will want to be on your team.

      And that is the upward spiral.

      Napoleon Hill called it the Mastermind. He called it the secret key to success. The backdoor.

      A client I used to write for made 600 million from that....starting as a total failure. But for 30+ years he worked the MasterMind principle.

      I have a friend who sells 100 g's a month from direct mail alone. He's in a Mastermind...they all fly in quarterly and meet at a physical location.

      This isn't theory. It really works.

      Best wishes,

      Marlon Sanders
      • [ 3 ] Thanks
  • MRMUT -

    Great post, I'm on a journey to build 50 of these sites myself. I'm averaging about $5 / day so far (as of the last few months) with about 10 sites (most using the xfactor method). I consider myself lucky because my very first site has been averaging about $2 / day.

    My goal is to put up one site a week, and to keep moving forward. I outsource most of my article / site content writing. I found a decent source that is affordable and most of the content needs just a little bit of finishing touches.

    Keep us posted on your progress! I sent you a PM if you like to share some success stories or to help each other out.

    Thanks,

    JB
  • That is fantastic idea man, I never thought of it. I always used to get profit from one single site. Me too have to get more sites as you and follow your methods?

    Okay, How much you had spent to setup the sites & to outsource articles & to get backlinks etc?
    • [1] reply
    • I build my own sites with the xfactor wordpress template I purchased. After I've found and purchased a domain, I can have my site all built (minus the content) in about 1 - 2 hours. Next I send my list of 10 keywords to my content writer. They're good for the price $1 per 100 words, I do tweek the articles a little, but not much.

      I typically order (x10) 300 word articles for the site content and for submitting to EZA and Go articles for backlinks. So the cost for my content is $30 plus the cost of a domain $11 - $15.

      I typically get my content in less than a week. I'll usually write my home page content myself, just to get the "indexing ball" rolling faster.

      I'll be happy to average $.50 - $1.00 a day (but I'd love more) for each site considering that these sites don't seem to need much maintenance. Anyway.....

      50 sites X's $.50 day = $25 / day or $9125 / yr.

      50 sites X's $12 domain renewal fee = $600 / year + $150 (or so) for a couple hosting packages for your sites.

      $9125 - $750 = $8375 profit year or about $700 / month profit.


      Well that's my plan / business plan. It could always change, but I think it's worth trying, basically I'm just up-scaling what's now working for me.

      I'll try and leave some updates here on the WF, I haven't been all that great at posting.

      Let me know what you guys think of this plan.

    great info on your plan. i have sent you PM. Please feel free to update your progress here on this thread.. that will keep you accountable.
  • JB,

    Great plan mate. Well done. Be persistent and consistent and the results will flow.

    I love these types of threads and it is always handy when Marlon drops in.
  • Adsense applies penalty/reward sitewide. So junk sites do nothing but hurt you. Build a million of them and make pennies.

    If your site has no respect in the eyes of Google (PR is the best indicator) you won't make much per click. So there really is no point in making all those sites if you can't get them to rank. And if you are using Adsense on sites that are not ranking you are just hurting yourself.

    So pull it off all your sites with no page rank, limit the number of ads, and keep working on ranking. Then you can watch your earnings rise.

    Good luck.

      My earnings have been on a consistent rise for months now with no extra effort.
      • [1] reply
  • I agree... with you guys on time

    my older site with no updates on content get PR 2-3 after 4 months. But i dont think that is make a difference the income.

    Update:

    my 6 new sites got index and i have 6 more KW in the pipeline. those 6 site 4 on page one and 2 one page 2.

    that gives me a total of 28 sites.

    good luck!!!!
  • Keep it up! Do not get discouraged when you read threads that talk about how these people are getting banned with 100+ niche sites. There has to be something terribly wrong for that to happen, but the people who get banned will never tell you.

    They always say "but my content is high quality and I follow Google's ToS to the T"... I call bull...
  • quick update:

    i am working on KW search and so far i have about 12 more KW that fit my criteria.

    will be work for the next few days on site building and hope to have 50 sites soon.

    I also wanted to mention a site that i have been using for backlinks and getting good results. check it out and try the free version. www.socialadr.com

    Good luck
  • I would like to ask you guys that how much can you earn via a Forum?
  • Why not build one monster site? My personal site gets 600,000+ page views a year, not bad for what started off just as a personal homepage!

    From this site I have been able to launch all kinds of other ventures due to all that lovely linkjuice.

    Sites like hubpages prove that broad niche (no niche?) sites do monetise well.

    • Guys, I am looking forward to build some 50 blogs where I am going to put affiliate links and adsense. Could you please tell me what type of niche is in boom nowadays? So that I can build my blogs with the relevant themes and content. Also, please let me know are there any other programs which are more effective and offers greater revenue than that of Google adsense.

    • I am tired to read all these methods because I lost enough money in this pursuit.

      Here is my simple method of earning $10 per site per day.

      1. I use 10 page site
      2. I prepare .php pages because I can use include statement
      3. My each page is ranked in top 10 with 5 to 6 keywords.
      4. I use product name within content.
      5. I use article marketing with 10 article directories, maintain a blogspot blog for each site, I do video marketing with 5 sites.
      6. In few cases I just added auto responder because I want to convert these sites to a large site of 20 page.
      7. I have 10 sites. That's max I can manage on my own.
      8. Select sites where you can affiliate products - information and physical both.
      9. I use micro niche finder. I purchased it once it was launched. This takes time.
      10. I added monetization once I have 50 odd unique visitor in my site.
      11. Link building is actually simple...stop reading u will earn money

      That's all. This works. Stop spending money and do work. There is no secret in earning money from adsense or affiliate marketing.

      Anything more, contact me and guaranteed free consultation.

  • If your business model is just to build minisites with no authority , specialy with xfactor/clickbump style... then wait until they all get visually inspected by google and then bye bye business model.

    Create different styles... and provide quality and quantity in content, otherwise once google sees is a MFA, bye bye
  • Hello Everyone

    Quick update:

    I know have 40 site up and running. i still need about 12 to be index.

    I have notice a increase on income. It looks like my average have jump to $9 per day.

    I have backlink somewhat to several site but not to much... if you have read my previous post, you know what i am using.

    Spending some time KW search and also creating a plan to build more pages on my winning sites.

    good luck and more updates coming soon.
  • How many are visiting your sites each day? I thought it could be interesting to compare that with the daily adsense income. And why are you using adsense instead of for example CPA?

    - All the Best

    When i start the post i was getting about 100 clicks per day. they were coming from about 15 to 18 sites.

    it has increase since then but i have also added more sites.

    i am starting to work some cpa but can not find domain KW. Any suggestions.

    thanks
  • Nice gameplan. Dont get discouraged by anything. I would love to create 100+ mini sites, but I would rather just focus on a few bigger sites. Nonetheless great plan once again! good luck!

    • thanks for your thought and method.. i would love to have a hand full of site. Doing 100 let me find those 5- 10 winners.

      unless you can show me how to pick them from the beginning

      Hey nando1125

      thanks for your thought. Notice you in my part of town. MIA.

      good luck
  • quick update:

    i am up to 40 sites but 12 still waiting to be index. i have bookmarked some of the sites and i am starting to see some backlinks show up. my avergae still stands at $9. i have 6 more KW that i am buying and setting up by the end of this week.

    thinking of adding content to my winners and see if that will increase traffic and income.

    thanks for all the support and PM

    good luck
  • Good work mate, it seems like you have made some good progress since the start.

    A couple of things that I would suggest (I have over 50 niche sites ranking well):

    1. Focus on completing blocks of niche sites as opposed to continual building more and more sites. What I mean by this, is to make sure that you are content is created and that the sites are ranking well before you build more sites.

    Initially I cranked out a number of sites but none of them were ranking very well. I had to go back and add links and adjust my keyword strategy. If I had focused on less sites, I could have started making good money much quicker.

    A good number that I recommend is 5 sites

    2. Change up monetization methods. Don't simply really on adsense. Check out affiliate products, cpa etc. You may find that some niches make more money with other methods.

    3. Host them on different hosting plans and backup your blogs consistently. I once had a host suspend me when I had 20 money making blogs created. Later I found out that the hosting company was notorious for doing this. I lost all my income overnight.

    4. Create blogs that are going to earn you more than 50 cents a day. It takes the same effort to create a blog that will earn you $10 a day.

    5. Don't really solely on Google traffic. If anything changes and your sites don't rank as well, your entire income is gone.

    6. Once you have the system down, outsource the boring tasks to other people. Earn way more money and focus on what you enjoy doing and what you are good at.

    I hope this helps

    Best Wishes

    • Hi Christian..

      Thanks for the info. Just curious... Do you have mostly Wordpress Ecommerce style sites, or more like Review style sites with more content? Do you find that one of these works better for sales than the other?

      I am working on a couple WP blogs with amazon products, getting some traffic, but not a whole lot of conversions, and just wondering the best way to add content to rank well and get targeted traffic.

      Also, can you tell me the hosting plan that did this? Pm if you'd like.

      Thanks so much,
      Liz

  • christian york..

    great information.. i am starting to break my site into group and i am adding pages to them. i agree with building strong sites. it is much easier to work in groups.

    i have started to build site with cpa offers but no data from it yet. i will update as it starts getting traffic and income.

    thanks for the good info, it makes a difference when other post on the thread with good information.

    good luck

  • No legitimate argument can be made supporting a higher upside for a bunch of microsites. These sites have a low bar of entry, so they are always going to be a hot topic of conversation in an industry of mostly unskilled developers.

    Hopefully that didn't sound condescending, because there is a place for microsites at all levels. They just aren't a road paved in gold. I recall someone on another forum paying $25,000 to have a bunch of microsites developed, and the the whole thing crashed and burned.

    For me, microsites aren't so much about the money each one generates as much as it is using them as a launch pad for something bigger. "Build it and forget it" microsites have generally been a dead end for me.
  • why not better concentrate your efforts on a single website? how can you keep your sites updated? in terms of backlins and content i mean
  • i use godaddy and had no problems. hostgator seems to be a favorite for alot of people.

    quick update:

    doing alot of KW search and starting to add some pages to my sites.

    average still hold on $9 per day..

    i need help in getting over the double digit $$

    good luck to all

    • Just wanted to reinforce a commentor above about using Zeus for training on creating Micro Niche Adsense Affiliate sites. Zeus has been working on IM since 1996, Google Adsence since 2003 so he knows his stuff.

      When your micro niche site takes off you build upon it.

      One of the most important things I learned from him was how to improve on choosing the niche and the keyword for that niche.

      Micro Niche Finder alone leads to failure if used alone. I combine that with Traffic Travis free version.

      If there are more than three top level domains in top 10 on Google, the keyword is probably not the best to choose.

      Good luck Mr. Mutt.
  • Hi Liz,

    I have been with Hostgator for a couple of month now and I am happy with them. They have alot to offer and their Live Chat is really good, their email ticker replies could be a bit better, but otherwise no complaints.

  • Mr Mut:

    I am currently in the process of building 100 niche adsense websites in 30 days. I have already built around 88 or them. (I also have about 150 older niche sites).

    The most important thing you can do is KW research, so stick with it. I am documenting my entire process of how I build these sites. So, if you are interested in seeing some of the tips I give, see the free WSO I have in my sig.

    • hey laura thanks for the link... i will check it out. i truly feel i am missing a small piece to my puzzle and i am looking for someone to show me that piece.

      hello redfox.

      i have seen your post and site and i been following you. thanks for the info.
  • I wish you the best.

    Only thing I'd caution people against is rushing initially. Do 1-3 sites and see what happens. The better you get at research, building and promotion, the better your sites will do.
  • Hey Kay King

    Thanks for the kind words.. i agree with you because when you start off with 3 site and you are making $1 per day, you double your income when you hit 30 days and 10 sites. so i think when it all done i should be on my way to my goal which is $100 per day from my sites...

    it just fustrating and i work hard to make this work.

    thank you

    • What many forget - and you can't overcome - is that google values age on a site.

      The sites you are building now - if built well and optimized now - will be more valuable a year from now and will earn more as time goes on if the niches are good ones.
