Content Question!

    Okay so i'm working on a lot of projects and want to cut down on some of my newest projects so I can fully develop the older ones.

    Now I was thinking, would a simple website with 25 UNIQUE articles be worthy enough for adsense? I mean would the site even make a dollar a month?

    Target: Webmaster Related

    Please let me know what you all think!

    Yes it is possible. I had a site that made $64 a month containing only 20 pages. But the problem is finding non-competetive fields.

    My friend runs a site with about 30-40 pages of content. He adds a new page once every two weeks. Makes about $1-2 dollars a day easy. So your plan is definitely possible. But like Tuning said, you need to find the right field. My guess is that the SEO field is a little over crowded. Maybe try to find something a little off the wall related to webmaster stuff... In any case, good luck!

    Hell yes it's worth it, but I'd create another 25 articles to syndicate to the 3 major article banks, or just submit those 25 to the banks aswell. Traffic will come, in a trickle, so make it high paying keywords you're targeting.

    Personally I'd do this for your content - and it's just my opinion!

    article1.html - article on this page targetting a valuable keyword
    all the way upto article25.html - I'm sure there's enough high value keywords for this subject.

    Then submit the same article(s) to the article banks, linking back to the specific page you're targetting for that keyword.

    Ie. "Webmaster tools - Which Are Out There?" would link back to your original webmaster-tools.html from the article bank, of course using the anchor text 'webmaster tools' for future SE shinnanegans.

    Repeat for all 25 articles. If you choose high keywords then all you need for a reasonable income is 25 reasonable paying pages on a site.

    If you want more traffic, submit more articles on the same keywords, pointing back to the original page targetting the keywords.. or create more pages on high value terms and repeat the original process.

    Tis a simple process, but 25 pages earning you $5/day from nothing but 'website traffic' is $125/day. You don't even need the search engines, but the boost comes when they do start picking you up.

    Hope this helps. I know I'll be bashed for it - it's all too easy, afterall.

    GADOOD - what are the three major article banks you mention? All my traffic just now comes from search engines, but it would be good to syndicate some of my articles like you describe? Thanks

    • ezinearticles.com
    • articlecity.com
    • goarticles.com
    • isnare.com

    ..Are the ones I use

    You can also submit them through Yahoo Groups, though you will have to find the content groups relating to your subject or use isnares distribution service, it's fairly cheap, to syndicate them via this method.

    with high paying kw content articles, you can do well with tiny sites.

    On MSN rankings alone, for some kws, you can earn triple digit figures a month from 15-25 pages of quality content and a high CTR

    but that is usually the exception rather than the rule. again, the thing about this business is to find a high-paying niche and hammer it.

    Actually, using MSN alone, it's possible to make triple digit figures a month using 1 page websites on low paying keywords. You just need to make sure that there's no competition!:)

    However, difficulties arise if you want to scale up your profits.

    okay a lot of great tips here! BUT>..... would it be possible if I would target just the ussuall let's say hosting/ seo/ designing/ domain etc related topics... would I then still be able to earn around $5 a day from 1 site or not?

    And another question: If I create unique content, would it be best to submit to article banks and get the visitors rolling on, or keep the unique content UNIQUE....

    Most of webmaster related keywords [like, web-hosting, web-designing, email-marketing...etc] are high paying keywords. If you SEO your pages well, or bring in quite a good number of visitors, it's not difficult to earn $1 per page per day.

    well i've got no knowledge of SEO, so I'd have to pay someone to do that... but i've heard hosting is a high paying keyword, but webdesign and marketing is not...? it's just hosting?

    I have a website with three pages and it makes about $1/day...so I guess content doesn't matter as much as one thinks...

    there is a flaw in your post.

    you say you want to make some money from your site but you will have to get someone else to do the SEO why ?

    spend a day or two learning SEO like most have on this forum.

    no pain no gain.

    I can understand getting pros to help with some site stuff,like if i want to do something with javascript there is no way i am going to spend months reading up just to add 6 lines of code,i can do html and php and i can get by with that most of the time.
    but SEO is so simple to learn and its fun.

    Plus if you get the bug and want to build more sites you will have to pay someone again,also you will not be able to tweek your site to keep up with the competition,think long term and the hits will come.

    SEO Basics

    SEO is an important part of designing your website. Without SEO, your site doesn't stand a chance when up against the competition, unless you have lots of back-links on SEO pointing to your site, like that.

    Back-links with the correct words in the anchor text that you're targeting must be in abundance. This could be hard work, so I advise you submit articles to article banks so that you're constantly gaining them by other people using your articles with your link at the bottom.

    And that's all there is to know about basic SEO.

    Ps. If you hadn't guessed, this post was targetting the word SEO!

    What's your site on? The most popular keywords relating to the subject are those to target. Find them here

    Meta tags in my opinion are pretty irrelevant and I personally don't really bother with them, but same again, place the popular keywords you're targetting in the meta keywords, and then repeat in the meta description. You should also make sure any keywords in the meta keywords actually appear on your page, or it may be classed as less relevant.....or so I've heard
