It sounds like you need to work on your keyword research and SEO. Pick battles that you know you can win, and automate and scale out your linkbuilding.

A lot of the low hanging fruit is now more competitive than it was, but there are still some gems to be found.

It's also worth focusing on ROI on a per page basis, rather than creating loads of smaller sites. Once you've perfected your KW research and SEO you should be able to get your internal pages to rank pretty easily too.

I think you need more research. There are so many techniques to improve your earnings the next time you build a website. For one, you may study the model of building a profitable micro niche sites. Micro niche site is a small site with at least 5 written articles and can give you more than $2 dollars per day.

Well done for not giving up ... 400 articles to get $1 a day show's a lot of sticking with it.

I assume you are making the cash off Adsense. If so you also need to consider what advertisers are paying ... do this by going too Spyfu.com and typing in the keyword. It will show the number of advertisers and how much on average the pay per click.

Normally I will not go after anything showing less than $1 in fact the higher the better ... although really high means lots of competition.


All the best with you business.

If you can commit to writing 400 articles (assuming they are each unique useful articles and not spun content), then you should have no problem increasing your income.

I would reconsider the strategy you are taking with promotion and content building as what you are currently doing is falling way short in terms of earnings.

With 400 pages of unique content you should have a site which gets at least 200 visitors a day (and about 2 page views from each visitor = 400 page views daily).

If you monetize correctly and have a reasonable paying niche that attracts buyers then you should be able to achieve a $10 eCPM. So that's $4 per day.

However, it is also realistic to get much more traffic and an even better eCPM with highly effective promotion, better keyword and market research, more effective monetization, and a high paying niche. So there's no reason it could not be $30/day or even higher with a similar amount of effort you have just put in, just directed and utilized better.

If the audience is hungry and you utilized an email list too upsell products you could increase earnings even further.

@priyankeshu Going the Adsense route I would recommend getting into a niche site around pharma drugs or rehabilitation centers or lawyers. Sites around these topics have gotten clicks between .50 - $2.00 per click... even today.

Go after an industry that has a high CPC and you shouldn't have a problem getting a buck a day.

How about analyzing which one works and which is not? Pay attention to the things you do that makes your earnings go higher. Do you intend to use these sites for website flipping as well?

If you think you need more time for thinking and getting a game plan have someone to help you out and outsource the jobs you know taking most of your time.

I'd be willing to bet that you could optimize your adsense ads and see a 300% improvement within a week's time.

I was going through something similar, started messing around with ad format, layout and position, eventually used YieldBuild to find the best color format, and then placed them using a combination of Google's "one click optimizer" tool, as well as some positions that I simply knew did well. I literally watched my earnings go up by 1000% per day (sometimes even more) within about a week. All other things, such as traffic, content, strategy, etc., remained the same.

This is how I learned about the real power of AdSense optimization. Before, honestly, I kinda thought it was over hyped.

Some other resources I recommend for you are targeted ad channels within your AdSense account, as well as Google's DFP for Small Business (free).

Nice tips from ChrisTew.
Its better to concentrate on established website,rather than starting a new one.Keep writing good content.Build some back links from authority sites.And tweak your ad placements.

Let's say you'd get paid $5 per 500 words articles.

400x that is $2,000.

Ever thought of switching to a more lucrative line of work? Perhaps writing relentlessly wishing for Google to pick it up isn't a suitable business model anymore?

Food for thoughts.
