I recently posted in a thread stating how much revenue I had achieved from duplicated content. The response I recieved was that no one believed me. This is the problem I have with this forum. No one will ever believe it when someone does state an earning that is over $10 a day. It's like the boy who cried wolf, except reversed. I have no reason to lie, I have no blog, no e-book nothing that I would in anyway recieve benefit from stating this. I was merely trying to prove a point. Look at all the other websites in my field www.chaptercheats.com , www.cheatgenius.com , www.cheatcc.com most of them earning $xxx,xxx yearly let alone over the period I stated. Anyways thats not entirely on topic, just a point. My main point is that people in this forum will never believe a person who really does earn $$$ when they let on. It bugs me because this forum will never improve under those circumstances. As members earn more they will move away from here as everyone tries to criticise and not believe that anyone on a webmaster forum could possibly earn an average wage or more. This place is clearly for those who earn $5 and under daily. Does this bug anyone else in the google adsense forum?
I don't know what made you to say so.. Here are people that make more than 50,000 a month. They just don't say so. I know personally to 5-10 from here. You might be making big bucks but why want to say that to all. If you want to help others in making such amount rather help in passing some tips. People will appreciate that.
You might be earning from duplicate content...but others won't be so lucky. Are you going to take responsibility when they get banned? Maybe you won't get banned, but there are only a few like you. So, no, that kind of advice is not helpful at all.
IF you feels like you wana share something , no need to be sure that everyone's believe you , I don't see the point, if you made money with duplicated content , and you love to share it to help people do the same, why would you care if nobody believe's you? You did your job , everyone's is free to believe it or not
This is bad advice, duplicated content is not ALL bad. How do you suggest I go and create unique content for my lyrics website? curse: I am not too bothered about believing me personally. I am worried about others who are talented webmasters that get annoyed at the false advice and constant replies which think you are making it up for fun. At the moment I only earn high $xxx per month so I am not particularly high, however in the past I have earnt decent money. I just think I am here only to get the signature links, rather than participate in a forum I enjoy. I get a rather depressing aura if I spend longer than an hour on here.
When most people here at the forum say hey they made this much and that much and put down a screen shot with thats the only proof, without giving the url or any tips on how they did it yes people will call it fake. Most people here on dP that do make and earn that much and more will never say it because they do not want to hear that garbage what's your niche tell us how you did it. You can make alot of money while reading the threads here and there on this forum. I myself went from 30 every3 months to over 200 hundrend a month its because of this forum. If people ask how i did it I would say simply read the threads here and you also can do it.
Please read my post carefully, I did say NOT everyone who has duplicate content will get into trouble. Did I say that? News sites and lyrics sites have dupe content...so do many sites with nudity that ALSO have Adsense.... and a bunch of warez sites and video sites with copyright issues... Look, you make the money, it is fine....but all I was saying is most people cannot do what you're doing cos they WILL get into trouble. And if EVERYONE in DP (thousands of members here) takes up your advice and spew a whole bunch of dupe content on the web, imagine what the web will turn out tomorrow.....and won't Google notice? And I'm one of those who do not believe life is fair, cos remember there's only 10 spots on the 1st page of Google...for starters.
Well I have no worries about whats my niche...as it is already over saturated and not a great niche to be in when you have the multi-million pound firms like IGN and gamespot beating you down. I do agree with your post though, reading around forums does help improve knowledge. I get the feeling though sometimes surfing this forum can be detrimental to our knowledge sometimes. e.g. my duplicate content participation mentioned earlier.
Its all about the competition, getting those SEO factors to the smallest detail right is essential. Lots of people can compete, with those better at it, earning more. I do agree though the internet would be a worse place if everyone did this. I don't want to surf a duplicated web however competition is like this in any market. e.g. Pepsi, Coca Cola and the many copy cats. The general world seems to be a good model to follow doesn't it?
I would agree that people that use DP for what it is worth will make good money with their content. It takes hard work and dedication to get to the top...once you get there you can put it on cruise control.
Plenty of people believed you, I'm sure (including me). It's just those people weren't roused to sufficient indignation to talk about it. It's the people who are scrabbling, as you say, for $2 a day, who find your claims shocking. The reason those people are earning $2 a day is because they think that everything is governed by simple truisms which will fall into their laps if they read the right forum/website/ebook. One day they will find the magic formula on some get-rich-quick website, type the formula into their computer word-for-word, and suddenly money will start pouring out. When they hear you suggest that the world is not that simple, it causes cognitive dissonance, which often leads to lashing out. I share some of your frustrations with this forum; normally I read it when I have been pounding on code for a while and need a diversion. Once in a while I catch something interesting, and once in a while I'm inspired to answer a question, but mostly it leaves me shaking my head. People who have been working at it for a year and are earning $0.50/day? How can that be? They must have really bought the wrong ebook. Oh well, better buy another.
yea as far as I'm concerned most people don't earn well because they aren't willing to put in a little money. I'm trying to earn with Hubpages atm, but on the site that I actually spent time and money to develop and promote, I earn pretty well. the best things in life AREN'T free lol
It doesnt matter whether other members believe it or not as long as you are happy with the earning. The reason is too any scammer are around, and many members being cheated. Daily $10 is not big amount and i believed that no point to cheat if you are not selling or promoting something
You may earn decently from duplicate content, but what? You hope all of us follow you to produce duplicate content to spam Google, Bing? Alright, we wanna make more money, but not this way. You can earn money from many ways, not necessarily producing DUPLICATE content.
I doubt he wants anyone to copy his strategy. The point is that anything might work, you have to experiement and use common sense, not just blindly follow the aphorisms that are passed around here like pearls from Buddha.
AGreed mate there are hell lot of guys who do over 50,000 USD a month i think know 5 or 6 on dp they hardly have some posts
If others don't like it, why to share with the world how much you are making. We believe you - but dont' get the point you are trying to make. If I were in your position - it wouldn't bug me, i would just smile for 'ignorance' and ignore'em
Interesting stuff, But if we copy the complete content from a website to our website, google will always put our rank below the source. So any way we need to edit the story and publish on our website. So it is not a fully duplicate one. $ 10 per day is easily achieved if you have 3000 visits per day with a good niche and ad optimization.
