    1. Is it ok to have more then one site on the same subject? Right now i have a few arcade sites, all with same games, just differnt designs. They all get visitors, but would google mind the same style sites, with the same adsense account?


    2. What is a MFA site? I have good niche, i have about 10 pages of content, and i have ads on them -- is this MFA??? How do i turn my niche site from MFA to just a site simple good site - that google will not ban me for, and wont mind?


    3. To try and improve visitors on 1 of my niche sites with 10 pages of good content, i thought about making not-so-great landing pages with key terms. -- these offer short info, and refer to main pages. Is this MFA and risking my adsense account?


    4. Will i get baned from making over $1000 a month with adsense with the methords above?

    Cheers.

    The Adsense Program Policies prohibit create sites with 'substantially duplicate content' (within the Webmaster Guidelines). More info here:

    http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66359

    An MFA site is one that is made purely with the idea of making money from the programme. Typically such sites have little, if any, content and what content is there is usually free articles from various sites. It's probably not possible to 'turn an MFA site into a good one', since running a good site usually means having some knowledge or skill in the subject matter, something not commonly found with MFA webmasters. Only you can answer whether your existing site is MFA.

    It may not be so much MFA as simply a bad idea. If your pages have good content then why not simply use those as the landing pages?

    Contrary to popular (and illogical) belief, Google will not ban you simply because of the amount you make. You can be banned if you attempt to use Adsense as a money making tool without any reasonable content and purpose behind you and the nature of your questions do suggest that's your aim.

    There's nothing wrong with making money from Adsense but in the long run you're better off building great sites that people want to visit. It's a safer, more satisfying and longer term bet.

    Make sure if you have a site that has numerous different niches, that it is good and the visitor wants that. These sites can work, as long as you have enough quality content on each niche to make it a solid all round site.

    That makes absolute sense. ;) Building a community is pretty important too, something like what DP has would be REALLY REALLY successful.
