It's not JUST the money!

    It's not JUST about the money... or JUST about the clicks

    100 clicks to Mary could be worth $300
    100 clicks to Tom could be worth $1.00

    Therefore; Mary does not have to work as hard as Tom to be successful. Tom, however, should consider adding or changing content to to see if he can get higher paying clicks. It would be ridiculous for Tom to continue on his current path because he is putting in a lot of work for little payout.

    The goal should never just be how much money you make a day. It should never just be how many clicks you get a day. It should be the value of the clicks you are getting.

    Ignore the people who are making you feel guilty. The people who say just worry about building your site and the money will come. This is false

    That is like telling a person they don't have time to sharpen their axe because there are too many trees to be cut.

    I would much rather be like Mary who only needs 1 click a day to get $3.00 than Tom who needs 300 clicks to get the same.

    I hope this post helps somebody.

    why are MFAs successful, eventhough they are blantantly spamvertising and add little to anything to the internet.

    Well that's because they make cash, and cold hard cash.

    Make a site that you enjoy doing, and make a site that will make you cash. Connect the two and your doing well.

    Bring in customer -> Give customer great content -> give them some dead end MFA style pages -> mmmm money when they click the links (especially if you blend them well!!)

    content is king or king of content.

    I thing traffic is the best answer. MFA's site not bad. Many of mfa's website are success on the net. Because they have good traffic, quick load and perfect keywords so they always see on the top ten when some one search something on search engine BUT they don't care about content.

    Not necessarily true, as some industries are much harder to drive traffic to than others

    The ones I've seen are terrible and don't they get banned for lack of content?

    You are wrong. The goal should be on how much money you make.

    There isnt a single niche that pays $3/click. But I know what youre saying. Im more of a middle man in this situation.

    This is only if they make their website just to make money.
    If someone blog about something he likes, it is quite impossible for him to change his blogging topic just to earn more money.
    Today, the first 3 clicks, I receive only 2 cents, but the forth click earn me 92 cents. :)

    There are probably hundreds of "niches" that pay $3 and more per click. Theres some that pay over $40 per click, you are very mistaken.

    ok well what if Tom's site is in a niche that can drive 6 times more traffic than Mary's. Right away you would think that he would be making double if his clicks are worth 1/3 of hers.

    Now add in some better than Mary's blending and ad placement and he is making 3 times as much as her.

    You don't always have to change your content to go for the bigger $ per click if it is also going to give you way less traffic from the search engines.

    Just make a site that you either really care and are knowledgeable about. Or be really good at faking care and knowledge :)

    I highly doubt anyone who thinks up something like "give them some dead end MFA style pages" can also "Give customer great content". :rolleyes:
