My Adsense Niche Network Project for 2008 Journal - Part 2

well they already are the largest in their respective categories And they are quite broad categories. i'm not saying i aimed to create the next myspace or google, I mean good static content sites, and trust me it is all original content. You can do good things if you set realistic, long term goals,

for example, boxofficemojo is the largest movie site

rockonthenet is one of the largest music sites,

sites like that are very achievable, if you have a lot of time (I had a 4 month university break)

 

I read your first post literally-

"create some of the biggest sites on the Internet in one years time, devoting my spare time to it"

Which would either mean your creating something along the lines of a Wikipedia which has over 12 million pages indexed in Google (so a really big site, lots of pages/content) or a site that's well known (popular), but not necessarily a lot of pages/content.

I assumed you meant the former and to achieve millions of pages in a year in your spare time without copying a lot of content is difficult to say the least.

What your actually saying is you plan to create one of the largest sites in a particular niche, which is of course a possible goal (depends on the niche).

Hope you build a great site and manage to market it well.

Good, it's a better idea to make one big site and work on it rather than build several small ones! A strong site, with updated content will rank well than several smaller non-updated ones. Its far more easier to maintain one site and keep developing it and make a brand.

Just read in one of your posts that you are adding adsense on it, so if you have done that you can post how much adsense paid you on the first day

 

no, but with respective category and I am doing link building on each category for 2-3 keywords so as to build a mini homepage in the SEs. Clear?

 

No, adsense ain't the major focus here, though it did start as that, and the reason why I still have labeled this thread with the adsense name.

Secondly, even though it is multi-topic, they are related in some way to each other.

So far, I haven't seen a single unrelated ad to be honest, even though I agree with you about the possibility.

As for the SEO point yes, I started getting god traffic from day one from multiple keywords.

 

Manish, I just integrated adsense 16 hours back. Well, I have had 7 clicks from 45 impressions with a 15.56% CTR.

Is that good?

 

I agree with the realistic goal part. Are those 2 sites yours?

 

It definitely is easier to manage and develop. As for adsense I have answered it above, a response to Manish.

 

Subscribed to this thread, keep it up dude.

 

Al, how many unique visitors per day on this site are you getting with your efforts so far?

 

40-60 UVs per day, 80% from SEs with major share from Google. I haven't done any link building at all. I am giving it the slow and steady approach to avoid Google spam filters/sandbox. I am in no mood to piss them off.

 

Just wanted to add, among the 100 articles published, only 5 are responsible for the current traffic. The other 95 are yet to rank. I am yet to build any links at all, so they are gonna take time.

 

Don't want to upset you but building links slowly won't avoid the sandbox, all new sites go through the sandbox.

Despite what a lot of people think the sandbox isn't a penalty against newly registered domains, it's due to a lack of aged PR/links.

I've studied this effect extensively and wrote about it at http://www.seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/google-sandbox-effect

When you register a new domain or start to work on an old domain with no/not many backlinks it's not going to rank for anything hard. Does not matter if you registered the domain that day or 10 years ago, if it lacks reasonable backlinks it's not going to rank well quickly.

To rank for anything competitive you need a decent number of backlinks that have been live for a decent period of time, through testing I've found it to be at least 9 months and realistically 12 months (this assumes your building links quite fast from day 1).

I've known this for a couple of years now so I try to plan my sites way in advance:

register > add basic content > add a few decent inks (get the home page to PR4) and forget about it until I need it.

Still won't get the domain through the sandbox, but speeds things up a lot because you already have some decent aged links.

Thank you.

 

Howdy,

Love to see how others are doing it. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

Can't wait to see how the monitizing works.

 

Been following your thread from the beginning and wonder the wisdom of making one large site. Will be both easier and harder to promote - should be interesting.

BTW, Google seriously frowns upon posting stats like that. A CTR that high is quite good.

 

good to see some solid plan of action. best wishes

 

Thanks YMC for bringing to my attention. I will avoid posting stats from now.

 

You are welcome.

 

Are the links in your signature related to your site(s)?
