What kind of content drives the most clicks?

I see all these posts from people claiming to make thousands per month through adsense. But there is never a link to any of these high traffic/CTR websites.

What sort of website/content could drive that kind of revenue?

 

Dude, if you made thousands a month on a website with Adsense, would you want to tell people what it is so they can run out and knock out a copycat site in a few hours???

 

sure, but how can these people be pumping out a constant stream of high quality content that will continue to pull traffic and drive clicks?

I'm guess I'm just starting to wonder, because I've written over 40 technical articles for devshed.com, and made about $50 each. I wonder if it wouldn't have been smarter to write them for my own site and get adsense revenue?

But my site has very low ranking in Google, so would I even get the traffic?

 

By adding more content.
(that's the short answer)

the long answer is that it doesn't have to be a specific area, to do well. Just use the tools to find subjects you can write well on that are frequently searched for and have a relatively small amount of competing sites.

Or get into porn. I hear adult sites do quite well.

 

IMHO electronics related.. ( just my little experience)

 

not being in electronics at all, just thinking about it, i'd tend to agree. electronics and clothing - attract browsers and comparison shoppers.

 

there is no real topic which is an easy adsense money source. Yes, some topics have higher paying keywords, but in the end i think it's all about traffic. Get traffic by making more quality articles, trade more links. You can have a site with al 10$ paying keywords with 10 clicks, but wouldnt it be better to get 200 $1 clicks?

Traffic, traffic, traffic.

 

One of my sites pay pennies per click, but the high traffic makes up for it. I pull about $25/day from it via Adsense, but make 4 times as that with traditional CPM banners.

 

I know they probably buy all rights, but most freelancers rewite the same article and sell it to multiple buyers -- especially if they are only paid $50 a story. The different articles focus on that aspect of the story of interest to the different buyers. There is no difference between that and rewriting the article for your own site. You could even break down the stories and write up the other bits that did not make it into the main story.

Now, getting paid $2000 for those articles is great. Finding three more buyers for those articles and trying to get magazines interested, could have turned that into something closer to $10,000. And, IMHO you may find it more lucrative to build a freelance bnusiness than an AdSense business. I do not want to discourage you from building your site, because you must have writing ability. But you should also build on the success of selling to DevShed by finding other buyers, and hopefully ones which pay $500 to $1000 per articles.

 

Actually, the one good thing to come out of those articles was that I had a book offer from 'Wiley & Sons' publishing. I declined it though, I didn't feel I was ready for it yet.

 

Write about cancer & webhosting.. It really pays from my experience..
But again TRAFFIC..

 

lol i can't help but see napoleon reading this.

 

get your own traffic... GOSH!!!

 

lol <3 ND he's the bestest

 

the content which you can get more (most) traffic drives the most clicks...

 

erm, perhaps a site about "how to drive traffic to a site"

i think many here would be interested in such a site.
