site 1: ~200 a day
site 2: (in reality, a "cluster" of sites- about 5 or 6 domains) about a month old, and I'm getting about 10$ a day, but it's going up.. my first "type b" affil site
site 3: really targetted, waiting to get higher in the serps :)
site 4: just started it as well, a high traffic site planning on using adsense/cpm banners
rfung: it's not too hard, really. instead of targetting really competitive terms, target a BUNCH of really obscure ones. that's a much faster way to traffic- although it can be a bit more difficult to pull off. it isn't 10$/day consistantly, but it's averaged to be about that
I point a few decent links at the domains, they got indexed almost immediately, and deep crawled a few weeks after that. the individual pages that target specific key phrases are working fine, once it got deep crawled
that sounds just about what I have been doing lately :) of course the key here is to find the obscure keywords.
I recently found by accident one such word for a product that doesn't seem to have many links, and plus there's different spellings for it too. I've added a page for that product and it's been netting me about $5 a day so far (well, it's been a week only).
The question then becomes, how does one go about finding obscure keywords for obscure products that are still searched enough times :)
