I am looking to raise my adsense revenue to about $10 daily. Would it be easier to achieve this over multiple smaller websites, or a single larger site? Should I head in the direction of service oriented site (I.E file uploading) or content (articles)? Will SEO methods bring in enough traffic to achieve this goal?
Well, Both the methods work for 1 large site you can get 10$/day easily and for smaller ones as well IF you are still starting with adsense then the many small sites approach will work for you try flash games sites and maybe proxy sites - both don't need to be maintained and need no time to manage so you have much free time for the promotion which is easy for those 2 kind of sites file/image upload sites are expensive to keep (using much bandwidth and will need dedicated server sooner or later) however, they are easy to promote (they actually promote themselves) content sites are hard to keep running (you have to provide continuous content) and they are hard to promote (usually SEO is your best traffic option) I hope this gave you better idea about it - you can check what others will say for sure Good luck
You could make a couple sites with high paying keywords. If you make celeb site keywords can pay very little same with ringtone or wallpaper sites. Find some good keywords that pay well and make some sites. Even use the ideas above but try to get good keywords for site to make more money.
I would do one large site. That way, you have to promote ONE site. When you spread across multiple sites, you have to 1. design all them 2. promote each 3. write content for each stay focused on one site, you'll be better of because of it If you can code it, an upload site might be interesting.
Flash games website, sounds very interesting, would you need the permission to embed external flash games from other games sites?
you can just get a script (paid or free) with the games included you can even buy game packs - just search on DP and you will fine loads of them)
When you say script i am presuming you mean the code to insert a flash file onto a page, am I right? Also, having a flash file embeded into a page doesn't let google have much content to scan in order to show relevant ads, how do I get around this problem?
usually the game description and some content in the side bar is considered content to let adsense work by script i mean a script complete program that runs your website you don't manually add pages - you just add game pack (with 500/1000 or more) games and you get a site built
I put an arcade site together a while ago, but never did anything with it. I think the script I bought was an old version of gamescript, probably not legally obtained. What is a good free alternative to gamescript? After I get it uploaded, how should I promote it? I think I have a pretty catchy domain.
Do you have the capability (ambition, drive, knowledge etc) to put together more than one site so as to have multiple sites on multiple topics that you can keep active? Or, do you have one special area that you are very good at and can write a lot about? If the latter, make a large site and concentrate on one topic. If you have multiple interests and can keep juggling them and writing content, then you should be able to create multiple sites that will be very good. If you don't have the interest, motivation etc to do multiple sites, then you are going to flop on a few of them and their earnings will not be that spectacular. Go with what you know and love, if that is multiple things and you can create the sites without burning yourself or your creativity out, go that route, otherwise, put your efforts into one site that can have some quality to it that people will want to visit. The key in this game is not to overextend yourself. Flash in the pan sites that zoom way up often crash just as quick. Sites that are built slowly tend to have more stability and will be around as long-haul earners.
promoting such site is so easy (i never owned one though ) 1- link in your signature on different forums 2- link in your msn and other chat programs 3- tell friends in school/work everybody loves to have some fun from time to time no matter what is his age
I have visited many free games sites but I rarley see ads on them, where does the money come from? To download these scripts you need 'installation' why so, how do you receive the script?
with some little search over DP i got those http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=173018 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=445280 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=444116 http://www.gamescript.net/ I think you can get more if you do search over google as well
