I would have though that would be impossible once your traffic reaches a certain level. Of course its possible witha 1 or 2 impressions but not with even a 100 impressions.
Fstorm, im saying that in order to make an MFA site it costs as low as $9 for domain some hosting and little little little time and effort. You can make an honest site by the same above requirements but a dishonest MFA site can be done this cheaply. and no I wasnt testing to see if google will ban me, i was testing to see if it was really possible to make tons of money via adsense and if I had to cheat the system (just for a month) to find out then so be it. One positive thing that came of this experiment is that I learned it is possible to make lots of money with adsense, the key is to abide by TOS. as I stated previously I was frustrated at my investment of time and money out of my pocket to built a worldclass website with generic domain name just to garnish $2 a day. I was all but ready to trash adsense and hopes of making extra dough from the internet. But my experiment has given me new light.
Interesting,but how did you get the traffic to you "Dishonest MFA website",adwords? or other ways,How much you spent to get those traffic? or 301 from you "Honest Website" to Dishonest MFA website".the second way did violate the google TOS.
my honest site and dishonest site operated independent of each other. no sharing of traffic, i just use the honest site of an example of hard work with little ROI. I didnt spend more then $9 for the dishonest domain and $30 a yr for hosting. other then that i put no money into it. I really think that I have thought up a clever strategy for this MFA, i doupt that im the only one that has thought of it, or done it.
impossible according to the google CTR per impression ratio. but on most days I averaged %100 CTR per visitor.
Heres another very good example: http://www.teesearch.info/Arts.htm This page has no unique content. It just had Adsense Ads and the content is being taken through XML feeds from other websites and also from DMOZ. Some of the above mentioned websites have 'some' content in them, so I wouldn't count them as 'totally' MFA.
The content being unique or not doesn't define an MFA. About.com is an MFA and plenty of other big sites like wisegeek.com.
1) Let me see if i got it... MFA are the sites that are created with original content or not but they try to confuse the visitors to click the ads? 2) What does MFA mean? Made For Adsense? 3) I created a single page with a script in it, a fancy logo and 2 google ads. I published it at digg and i had some clicks. Is this against google's TOS?
Yes, MFA means made for adsense. It implies useless content and not made for human beings. No. As long as it's useful to people, it's not considered MFA - and you would not get Digg traffic if it wasn't. There is obviously a blurry line between MFA and content sites that make a person a living.
I disagree, i own many MFA's and everyone has orignal content which i have written for me. An MFA is about not much content, few if any links out of your site with very well placed ads where you will want to average no less than 50% CTR. The old days maybe all content was crap and scraped but these days with adsense quality scoring and other factors you should use original content. A good MFA wants to give useful content to the user which is relevant to the adsense displayed.
99% CTR for a prolonged period of time seems... not quite right. If something is wrong with it, you can count on Google figuring it out sooner rather than later.
You want the user to click an ad, linking to other sites are leaks which if they click your not getting paid for now are you?
Any site built with the purpose of generating revenue from adsense is a MFA site. I guess what we are taling about here is a site that has pages with no links other than the adsense links which forces the user to click and ad or their back button once they get on it. That is what explains the high CTR. As long as their is content on the site then it is not a problem with Google's TOS. The issue is you must build a lot of these through site generators to keep up since the sites will constantly be banned and you won't get any visitors from the SE's I would personally like to build one authroity site that people link to automatically and then build up revenue over time. Its slower this way, but if you ever want a self sustanining income without having to work a site every day then this is the only way to go.
Bhopkins there are plenty of ways of getting traffic without search engines. I ban all bots from most my arbitrage sites since i don't care whether they get SE traffic or not i generate more from other ways than an SE is ever gonna send that type of site. It may be the only way for you to go, if you cant generate traffic and turn profit on it without SE's then thats why.
I think that may be why I don't necessarily equate having few outbound links with a site being MFA. My own is a case of that, loads of original content, and there are links but many are to other pages on the site (cross referenced papers etc). I'm not going to say it's an authority site, but it's close. The site has existed since long before adsense (and in fact from when google was just another new kid on the block) so that was definitely not the intent of creating it.
