But I really don't have any picture how many site should I run to get let say about $1,000 per month...
So how many do you run? Is it 10, 50, 100 or even 500?
I'm thinking to run 5 now with each got about 250 pages as the beginning and blog for each of them. I really hope It can give me about $100/month
Does my goal realistic?
Have thought about creating sepearte subdomains, but not about creating another domain.
The keys:
- Good domain names (not spammy keyword-keyword-keyword.tld)
- Good niche topic (found underserved niches, with $.25/click avg. payouts and decent demand)
- Original content that met the targeted user's needs
- Good SEO (White Hat)
- Designed layout of sites with adsense in mind (ads blended well, but were not overkill)
- incorporated other ad networks for diversity and additional $$$
The others are a waste of time because they are not high enough quality or unique enough to be top sites in their fields. But they are interesting and useful to the few visitors they do get so I leavc them up. The ones that are doing well took many hours of hard work and hard won real world knowledge that I chose to share long before google came along...
Some sites have 1 page, some have 50. It has no effect on the income each site generates. Only the quality, which brings lots of incoming links and traffic counts. (Some of my sites are crap, and the income they generate is too! But I didnt build them for income but for fun and exchange of ideas in the original spirit of the internet.)
It also brings search traffic because of the link popularity that google uses to decide how important the pages are. And the better your site the more links you will get.
You will not get any of that with copied/changed "articles". Filler is not content! You will get no external links and be on page 99 of the search results for most related terms.
Make it interesting and people and search engines will come. And they will be well targeted visitors since lots of the traffic will be to exact pages that relate to specific external forum or site subjects via links from such places.
This sort of traffic converts well too so you make your advertisers happy and avoid the "smart pricing" problem that many sites suffer too.
Oct and Nov the only 2 mos where I have seen declines worth worrying about in my 3-1/2 years with Adsense. In fact, it seems like over time the more sites I add the more my stats decline!

But no filler material, real sites or pages that existed before advertising even crossed my mind. Some sites are crap and it shows in their income! Some are the top info source on various things on the net or anywhere else. Including how to do some very technical expensive stuff yourself cheaply, etc.. Mostly hobby, fun stuff. One was going to be a book on something thars pretty technical but I published it on the net free instead and let the ads pay.
To be honest I have other things to do now, no time for playing with websites. Which is one reason I never updated or added more stuff in many years. The other is that I would be just creating content to put ads on. Which simply doesent work well if at all. The site needs to be interesting enough to stand head and shoulders above its opposition in whatever niche to be any real use. Or offer something not available elsewhere. And you cannot just "create" that kind of content. Theres plenty of this created quick to fill pages content out there as it is. And it has no value.
I used to work for a particular magazine - A big popular one. It has a large circulation, it sells in most countries in the world. Its advertising can pay all the staff and pay for all the wrecked stuff, travel, etc etc easily. Its the best mag in that niche, by far. Many others pretenders came and went and failed. Their tests and reviews were not as informed, not as accurate, less well written. All in a similar looking glossy mag. But the content just was not good enough.
This is what is important. The sites dont even need to look good. Mine certainly dont. And domain names dont matter. I use free web hosting...

Is ann the only one who sees what's going on here. Come on Strife, you're a ticking bomb. Learn the rules and play nice.
Well, Ann is a very wise lady. I think we all see what's going on here, but Ann hit the nail on the head.
I also has 5 other domains which practically just one page website which I will start develop one year later. Just to make all search engine get used to this domains. :)
