The weight loss site had about 20 pages on it but only 3 or 4 were bring in the cash. The others were pushing the top 10 though so just a matter of time. It obviously was like starting from scratch again when the domain had to be changed.

My CPC averaged near $2 I think. I had a lot of clicks around $1 but always a few pushing $7. It definitely didn’t get any of the $0.20 and $0.30 clicks many complain about.

If your content is directed to a particular subject you will get decent playing clicks. It is the generic blogs that suffer. The more specific your content is to a subject the more targeted the ads as well. This leads to a higher CTR and a higher conversion rate for the advertisers. A higher conversion rates means a higher CPC for you.

Just landed on your webpage from the WF. Very nice amount of cash you made, 50$ a day is nice !!!
How many articles did you have on this adsense website ? Did you do tons of backlinking ?
So far i’m experiencing with 2 small mini adsense sites but they are not making that much money(it pays the monthly phone bill, lol !). I guess the cpc is too low, how high was your cpc on the weight loss niche ? Probably 2-5$ right ?
Bye and thanx for the answer !

I am trying hard to keep adding things to the site but I just keep forgetting about it. Hopefully will keep some interesting info coming.

Bill, I have 7 sites aimed purely at AdSense. These aren’t mini/thin sites. My goal is to add whatever keywords and articles I can to a site before moving on. I don’t see the point in creating a new domain, which has no trustrank of authority, when I can use my existing and aging domains just as easily. The content is still highly relevant and categorised properly for both easy navigation and separation for the Google (and other) spiders.

I have started making Amazon sites now because the keyword potential is huge. Competition is lacking for product based searches because it takes a bit more work to find the good ones. Companies also don’t have the SEM knowhow to target these terms and rather concentrate on the broader market.

My goal is to be away from my job in 6 months time or at least know that I can work for myself if things turn bad with my day job. I want the savings there for when things go astray.

I have a long way to go (only at $30/day at the moment) but am now only working 4 days a week and it is amazing what can be done with 1 solid day dedicated to a project.

Yeah and I hope you have your eggs in lost if different baskets now!

LUV the 301 tho’

A .htaccess file in basic terms is a file that an Apache webserver uses to make modifications to its configuration.

The most common things it is used for is user authentication and URL redirection.

To make a 301 redirect you simply create a .htaccess file in the root directory of your website (FTP public_html folder, usually) and add this text to it:

redirect 301 / http://www.newdomain.com/

When someone goes to the old directory the server reads this file and notes that it has to send the user to the new domain. 301 means the redirection is permanent.

Hopefully that helps. Here is an article you can read for more information – http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/
