Brand New to Internet Marketing/Adsense -- Review my site(s)

I am pretty new to the whole ad-sense/internet marketing/affiliate marketing "scene" and honestly I don't know which area(s) to focus on to build a TRUE/SOLID site (or a network of site(s)) which will deliver CONSISTENT results overtime. So, in order to get on the "path", I figured I will listen/read/watch videos/articles on internet marketing etc and then focus on a very *few* things and take action. These are the things that I learned (or rather got a rough idea) from my research and decided to focus into actionable results.

* Original Content (I read that copying content/articles from the internet gives you bad google juice, so I did my own research and wrote original articles)
* At least 5 pages/articles on each page/topic
* Every topic/article on wordpress (setup on different sub-domains)
* Google Adsense ADS blending into the page/placement

I have one main domain and I am planning on setting up multiple 'subdomains' as completely seperate Mini-Sites with various niche topics with at least 4-5 seperate pages. I am also planning on running google ad-sense primarily and possibly multiple affiliate links / products etc. The articles will be original/non-spam and actually helpful.

*** URLS removed by request, pm me if you are interested.

I would like you guys to critique those two sub-domains/site(s) first. Remember: I am a complete NEWBIE with ZERO experience, I just got a few tips from reading/watching videos and decided to put it into action, I am not looking for hand-outs, but real, actionable advice from people who *actually* get consistent results (ie: a decent paycheck) would be--not only highly appreciated, but put into real practice (I will also report back for more)

My goal is to build my own mini-empire and I KNOW that the people who get the best results will always keep their techniques a secret, if that was not the case, EVERYONE would make money -- which is impossible. (IE: 80/20 principle), I actually feel that in this space, its more like a 95/5 split, meaning 95% of the people either fail or get mediocre results and 5% make BANK. I am interested in being in the 5% and I want to make sure that I understand the FUNDAMENTALS of making this work before doing anything fancy. I am also interested in using white-hat methods since I've heard doing otherwise will eventually get me busted.


Thank you!

    I am just starting some basic SEO methods/techniques and I see a quick 1640% jump on traffic on google analytics, hopefully this will continue to grow. I basically have google adsense + clickbank OR CJ affiliate links embedded on each page on my articles.

    I will report back with my results.

    Interesting work that you've done so far. I've never used subdomains before in all of my wordpress blogs/sites. Because I'm not sure that it's SEO friendly. But since you mention that you have 1640% boost on your traffic then if it's coming from search engine perhaps what you do is right.

    Another thing, I'd get rid off the border from your 468x60 adsense unit. Also would like to add at least 2 adsense links, one at the top and another at the bottom. Adsense links work best if you can make them as if they are your navigation page.

      Thanks susinggih.

      Yes, while there is some growth -- it seems like it is going to be MUCH more work for me to maintain sub-domains (while it is significantly cheaper and easier to deploy) than doing separate domains.

      I am going to seriously consider doing separate domains as it might yield better results. I have to do A LOT of work to get the sub-domain pages making cash..

        I suggest you purchase a domain for each niche you are interested in and not use a sub-domain. The best reason for this is that you can have an exact match name to the keyword you are ranking.
