I was planning on making some micro niche sites and place adsense on them. Recently I have been reading that the google "panda" update has put an end to these mini sites(don't know if this is true). What I want to know is If I make websites with 15 pages of quality content on micro niches targeting 3 or 4 keywords will the site get ranked? Or will I need much more content? Thanks

      I just want to clarify that I am talking about micro niche sites not micro sites. !5-20 page websites not 1 or 2 pages.

    Panda is a mess, even sites with 500 pages of unique, updated, authority content... got down the drain - while sites with 5 pages are ranking top 3.

    So...

    It doesnt matter if your site consists of 2 pages of content or 300+
    As long as the content is unique and your keywords are optimized then google will have no problem ranking your site well for that keyword.

    Obviously the more relevant backlinks the better

    Dead. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    Ok, in all seriousness I think the update actually helped micro niche sites. As long as they've got truly unique & properly optimized content.

    33 autoblogs, total time = 7 months, 0 backlinks and all duplicate content.

    Google AdSense check last month = over $3000.

    Panda did nothing but double the traffic almost overnight.

    The panda knocked my sites down I just kept on adding content and link building and now they are right back up there making me around $200 per day

        About 30-40 either fully developed and earning $$, in the making, or just starting them.

        Most of my $$ comes from about 10-15 sites
