How can I make a little money each day using Adsense.

Is it realistic.

[Andrea]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone here can tell me how realistic it would be to earn say $1 per week with 50 or so mini websites on different themes? Is this achievable?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Andrea

It should certainly be acheivable, but it would be a hell of a lot of work for $200 a month.

[kamakaze]

I also agree that its feasable but I can almost guarentee if you invest the time you will spend on 50 mini sites on just 1 site with a ton of content you will probably meet or exceed your goal as long as its done right.

[Andrea]

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

Would it be a better idea to concentrate on building 50 pages for 1 site instead of concentrating on creating 50 mini sites?

I'd say it's very realistic. But I'd shoot higher. Something like $1-$3/day.

[thewebboy]

Like scottm said you could easily do $1, $2 or $3 dollars per day.

$1 a day * 50 sites * 30 days = $1500 (nice)
$2 a day * 50 sites * 30 days = $3000 (good)
$3 a day * 50 sites * 30 days = $4500 (excellent)

Hi,

Thanks again for replying. When you say $1-$3 per day. How realistic is this for a beginner who is starting off with building free sites using google adsense?

Would it be better to build 50 free websites on different niches or would 1 site containing 50 pages be a better thing to aim for?

I am looking for a way to start earning say $100 per week with websites. I thought perhaps that aiming for $1 per site a week was very achievable? I hope so.

Why not try them both? Build a (quality) site with 25 pages, two sites with 5 pages and 15 sites with 1 page. You've then made the same effort of making 50 pages and by diversifying can see what works for you.

I'm doing somewhat the same. I've built one gigantic content site that is sort of my baby and am now building some small sites just to earn me some quick money.

Hi,

That sounds quite a good idea. Do you think it will work with free sites? Is it better to use google adsense or affiliate programs or both? How well does google adsense work on its own?

Check this thread out:

[webmasterworld.com...]

That might help.

Also, I don't think Google will let you put AS on free sites, since you are not the owner of the domain. Double check the TOS on that. Your best bet is to somehow get your own domain. If you don't have a credit card, there's other ways you can purchase your own domain.

Good Luck

Dont do free sites they may not spider correctly.

Buy a domain with hosting.

Build at least a 100 page site, I work on teh basis that I can get 1 visitor per page per day minimum. From that 100 you should get a click through thats healthy, target your terms correctly and youll receive $1 per click.

Now build 50 sites with 100 pages.

I think it is very acheivable, but I think you would have better results if you started with one site. Work on building good content. Keep the site on a specific theme and follow that theme through on every page. Try and write content that is as specific as possible.

Then when you feel your site is finished start anther. Try to keep your sites seperate. Base each site on a different theme, but stick to a topic you know and understand. If you try to do to many sites at the same time then each site will be of lesser quality. When it comes to content sites aim for quality as opposed to quantity.

As you complete a site start another. By using this method you will be building a set of sites that are failry large and of good quality. This has to be better than a string of half finished sites.

Hi,

I think it does sound like a good idea to concentrate on one site and then start creating other ones. How long after starting a website using adsense and possibly some affiliate programs does it take to generate a reasonable amount of money, say about $50-$100 per week? Would this take some months to do?

I think its very possible. My newest site I've created, I started using an Adwords campaign with a CPC of $0.05, and I'm making a PROFIT of $10 a day - I haven't even been indexed by Google, Yahoo, or MSN! So yes, it is possible.

My concern is that you may be making "mini" sites about variations of the same subject, in which case you'd be better off keeping it under a single domain.

[gordele]

Prolific, you said you are running adwords on your newest site and your cpc is $0.05? how many clicks do you get every single day? just corious... :)

[david_uk]

Content is the main thing to concentrate on. Find a topic you are interested in, and produce a good quality, informative site that people will want to read. Promote the site, and build on any suggestions you get from visitors. The thing about quality content is that it is more likely to attract quality advertisers.

You can put adsense on at any time, but it's probably wise to have a few pages up there first.

Adsense banners don't work on all pages of a site, so make sure you put a channel on each banner to track this, and ditch channels that don't work. This will show as a positive in the ctr, and usually that increases earnings.

Yap its achievable but as long as you stick to googles tos baring in mind your 50 sites would need decent traffic to get your required amount of legitmate clicks

Andrea - hi :)

As stated before - content is everything. Having the right content, (and that means keywords and correct Search Engine Optimisation), will produce the right, (and consistent), desired ads on your webpages.

Finding a niche market - which still includes "informational websites" and not just websites that sell physical products - is the best place to start. How to find a niche market? Google it! :) But quite often you can stumble across a niche market by accident.

It is not always necessary to buy a domain. I have built - yes, built webpages in freespace with correct content and SEO'd to produce the desired effects - revenue :)

There is a great debate as to whether or not Adsense Ads should be placed on existing websites i.e. incorporated into them, or websites can be created specifically for generating Adsense revenue. Naturally the Goolge Adsense ToS says that webpages with little, or no content, which have been produced solely for the purpose of displaying Adsense ads - is not allowed.

But you can produce webpages with content in them which do produce specific ads - because that's the way you've engineered the pages. They may not be, (by the purists standards), the best designed webpages in the world. They may not even "add content to the WWW" - which seems to be the cry of some webmasters and www veterans. BUT - if they generate revenue, keeping within the ToS of Google - then, isn't that what you want?

Hi--I have another question in this general area. This thread has discussed using free sites, but I'm wondering, how would it work to create two or three different sites on the same web hosting space? I have tons of bandwidth with my current host, more than I'll ever need for my main site.

I have a lot of interests in different areas, so I'm really becoming intrigued with the possibility of creating a number of different websites--but my financial resources are very limited at this point.

[Alioc]

meadow, the best solution is switching to a multidomain hosting provider. There are a couple of good hosts offering this feature. Be careful though, you know choosing a good host is not easy. You should be able to host, say 100 different domains(sites) for around $20 - $40 a month. When you need more bandwidth or storage, you can upgrade later on. I prefer hsphere control panel for multidomain management. I suggest you look for this feature also. Being able to manage multiple websites within a single control panel and FTP account is really great. I don't even see any need for a dedicated server unless you need 20GB or more storage space since harddisks are getting cheaper every month therefore managed hosting solutions are getting more and more satisfactory even for the advanced developers.

[sailorjwd]

Stop complicating your life before things even start.

Create 1 website with good content on a purchased domain and inexpensive hosting ( I pay $102 per year).

See how it goes and at the same time you'll begin to understand your mistakes and how to do things correctly. Then make a decision as to whether to create a new site or not. It is possible to make $10,000/month (and more) on a single site with a couple 100 pages.

Remember that there are only two things that count:

1) The content
2) The visitors

Everything else is 3rd place. Ever hear of the KISS principle?

[meadow]

Thanks for the great advice, sailor and Alioc. I think my current host actually does offer multidomains (same thing as subdomains, right? or am I wrong?), though I'm not completely sure--it's something I obviously know little about and will have to look into.

sailor, I pay just a bit less than you do for my hosting.

I already have a website with good content, though it's nowhere close to even 100 pages as yet. Will definitely keep working on it.

Nope, I've never heard of the KISS principle. :-)

[sailorjwd]

KISS

As my professors would say: 'Keep It Simple Stupid'

[zulu_dude]

Meadow, sub domains and multiple domains aren't the same thing. Check with your host whether they can do multiple domains. Depending on the package that you have, most will allow it, although some will charge a small fee per extra domain.

[meadow]

Duh! OK, I guess I have heard of the KISS principle. It's a good one.

zulu_dude--oh! Thanks very much.
