Learning HTML and making web pages is easy. The hard part is getting traffic and converting into clicks or sales etc. I have done a little experiment with a couple of my website pages. Most of my pages have adsense and all are SEO to gain the proper ad. My accommodation page is averageing $0.17 per click My cinema page is averageing $0.08 per click etc... etc... etc... All very average I know. Then I tried an experiment, nothing to do with my site, but just to find an answere. My pay per play page is averageing $1.07 per click.PAY PER PLAY The highest payed for one click was $1.52. This experiment was to aim at one of the highest paying niches. I'm now going to plan and build a fantastic new website based on top paying niches. Is this the way to GO?
It's easy to get tons of traffic from the search engines when your content is good. It depends on the niche obviously but in a few months you can rank very well if your content is original.
Cheers Zexy True if you get top page or as close to top page as possible with the search engines. The more traffic comes your way.
Yes, some niches have much higher paying ads then others. Insurance, mortgages, entertainment, health all seem to do better then other niches - I just wish I was interested in those topics so I could build up a site on them.
Thats a good idea to make a site around high paying niche but its only for short period. How do you think to maintain site with good niche that you dont know much about? You make site around for example, "insurance" word. You obviously have to drive traffic to it to make them click on ads. They will come but the will go immediately if they dont find some quality and regularly updated content.
Forums are ten-a-penny and it is pretty hard to get a forum going. You need to have interested members, who return again and again and post regularly. So you really need to find a niche with lots of enthusiasts who don't currently have any online forums. Also, for Adsense, forum users get adblind very quickly (when was the last time you noticed the link unit here on DP, never mind clicked on it?) so it's only passing, organic visitors who are going to click ads probably... So, my experience, forum=hard work, maybe too hard...
Yes! Maybe I'll steer away from this idea. Will look at other traffic generating OP's. Hartlepool Visitor ( More Than What You Think )
