Adsense Sites

Does anyone here have more than 10 sites that are making over $100 each per month with Adsense?

The reason I ask is because I'm looking to make adsense sites but I'm worried that if I make sites that are all targeting keywords with minimum CPC of $2 and getting lots of Adsense revenue, that it might look extremely suspicious.

These sites would be basically made for Adsense but I'd provide quality content as well, would I get banned from Adsense for doing this?

Thanks,
Matt

    Even though you are targeting 2$ keywords, you will still get low price ads show up on your sites.

    Its a fact that some keywords are more expensive than others due to the competition on them and its also clear that optimizing and ranking ell for these keywords is more difficult and also you will not earn always i.e $2 per click for these keywords and your earning depends on the traffic of your site. And if your website has safe content according to adsense terms, your site will not get banned never.

      My site has keyword with $15 bid, I didn't mean this site to be an adsense site, though I did ad adsense an get couple clicks on those ads, guess what did I earn from those clicks, in average $0.50, as far as I understand, if there is not enough bidders for that high end keyword Google keeps top cream for herself ( displays them on search pages), your site will get only some low end keyword adds.

        Google doesn't keep the top end for themselves (search page) and feed you the left overs. The two are sold separately.

        The Content Network (AdSense) is sold at a lower price then the search page is sold for. The CPC that you see in The Keyword Tool is for search, and the bids for The Content Network go at a lower rate. You will then get 68% of the bid price that the advertiser pays.

        So in my experience, you should only expect to get 15% to 20% of the CPC on The Keyword Tool. And the difference between the first ad on your page, and the last ad, can be quite a bit. So it depends a lot on which ad your visitor clicks on, how much you will get paid.

    All of my sites earn over $100/mo., and I have considerably more than 10. Most have an average CPC of $1 or more. There are thousands of niches and keyword phrases that can do this for you.

    Don't build your sites to target a specific keyword; find a niche within which you can develop a 'keyword phrase group' of related keywords, then look for high-CPC phrases.

    Use original, quality content, adhere to the TOS, don't do anything over-the-top with your link building, and you'll be alright.

    You won't get banned for choosing keywords that are high priced as long as you are providing some good information to your visitor..

      Most of you have no clue as to how adsense/adwords works, as far
      as CPC.

      Completely crazy to think google is out to ban people. Just
      the opposite, contrary to the (word edited) who come here and
      whine about how google banned them.

      If your site rocks, your site rocks. Niche does not matter.

      You can't just build a site in a high CPC niche (fantasy)
      and think somehow google is going to toss up golden eggs
      on your site. Not gonna happen.

      Tim Pears, you still rock! Although the highest ad does not
      always get the highest CPC. Again, people have to know how
      adwords works. Google puts the highest performing ads higher
      than others, regardless of price.

      Tip: Some adwords users have to bid considerably higher than the
      top spots just to make the bottom of the friggin page! (Ever notice
      how that sometimes the top 2 ad blocks have the SAME ads???)
      BINGO!

      If people would just concentrate on targeted visitors to their
      target (decent) content, watch their ad placement, they would
      not be worried about CPC. Any niche can make money regardless of
      some pie-in-the-sky daydream about high paying clicks.

        It all comes down to how apt people are to click on ads, and the volume of traffic. You can have $50 CPC ads on your site, but if that site was a celebrity site, they don't tend to click on ads. But then there wouldn't be a $50 ad on a celebrity site as they tend to pay pennies. But I was trying to make a point.

        I had a couple of articles on Thanksgiving day that got massive amounts of clicks. 1,500+ clicks to those two articles. I was only making $0.14 per click, on average, but I made over $220 that day. So even though the price to me was low, I made pretty good money because I had a massive amount of clicks.

        While I tend to shy away from messing around with keywords that show a less than $2.00 CPC, or higher, on occasion I will include lower priced CPC if the traffic warrants it and the commercial intent is high.

    You won't get banned for this. You get banned for copying other peoples content and placing ads on it, or writing basically nothign and repeating keywords throughout the text 600 times to make it look long, then putting adsense on it. Just write good content, do a little bit a research, and answer questions that you, yourself, would ask if you were interested in that topic. You'll be fine if you do it this way.

    I have 1 site bringing in over $500 per month on a micro niche topic with adsense. I mean MICRO niche, stupid small that no one would even think about. It's easy to do this, just be helpful. I get links to my site's pages daily from people linking to me.
