I've been doing some research on niche blogging but I'm still having a hard time understanding it. Specifically I am looking into niche blogging in combination with AdSense. I come across posts and articles where people claim to have anywhere from 10 to 100 niche blogs. Are these blogs basically one page sites optimized for SEO and Adsense? Are they outsourcing the writing of articles? (It's dang near impossible to update 100 blogs on a consistent basis). If these sites are only 1 page how does Google (AdSense) feel about this? I have always heard (perhaps incorrectly) that AdSense typically wants blogs to have a minimum of 10 posts before granting approval? (Perhaps a person is gaining approval on one 'more legitimate' blog and then adding to there other 1 page blogs?) Sorry about all of the questions but I'm having some trouble finding answers.
When you are blogging especially the very first time, focus on one or two niches. So it will give you more time to concentrate working on it. Select something you are familiar with and make sure you can keep running the blog for long.
Usually more than one page. Typical mininiche style site has 7-10 pages. Most likely, though I know a few folks who write their own.
The people that set up 100's of niche sites would in some cases outsource the work, in other cases, set them up themselves. Depending on the size of the niche, would decide on how many articles they set up on the site. When something new happens in the niche, they would update the site. These kind of blogs are more for just selling particlular products inside that niche. They are not really like the blogs that are set up to grow a community and keep adding content to every week. As far as Google goes. Once you set up your adsense account for your first blog, you are then allowed to add adsense adds to any other blogs you own, without any extra approval from Google. Hope that answered your question. Regards, Sharon.
The idea of a "niche empire" is definitely one of "set it and forget it." That is, you would write or outsource a number of posts and then either leave it as is or continue to pay a content writer. Small niche websites are getting harder and harder to rank these days, though. Having more and more quality content is becoming the recipe for success, and social signals are overtaking mass automated backlinks. For example, Google just deindexed BuildMyRank, one of the largest blog networks that niche webmasters used for backlinking, and it hurt a lot of niche sites. I still think you can find success, but it's good to diversity your links and pick topics that can scale to a larger authority site.
It does not matter how diverse you are if you are a link schemer... Google is so big now that they can pick and choose who stays and who goes. Google does not even care if you are blacklisted from adsense, even if it wasnt your fault. google supports natural link building, they do not support those who try to game the system. So if they were de-indexed, then it was for a reason.... more then likely they are taking out the trash...
That's really awesome news then for bloggers, who do the right thing and create organic links to their content. As for niche marketers, I guess it means they will have to more regularly update their blogs. Which will intern create far better niche market sites,because the people who will get to the top with these sites will be the ones who really care about the topic instead of a niche marketer who has 200 blogs with only 8 bits of content on each one.
Is there a reason you've chosen Adsense blogs? Unless you do have hundreds of them, there's very little money to be made. We've gone another way and set up blogs to sell products in specific niches. If the sale is direct, then we keep all the cash. If it's a sale via an affiliate, we keep 40%. Still heaps better than the Adsense return.
