Well, I've played w/ adwords this weekend and found that for all of my keywords, none ranked lower than "ok" while about 15% or more were "great". I also believe that my sites are pretty good but this month I haven't made a dime (although the last 2 months brought in about $450). I think that I need to take another look at my sites and figure out a more aggressive strategy to earn me more money in the long run. I agree w/ ski_master that SEO is the way to go but that is really a long-term project and really hard to do. I'm struggling w/ learning SEO right now and it's a frustrating lesson to be sure. I guess nothing worth doing is easy, right? I'm looking to find a way that I can bring in a few extra bucks a month and thought I had something figured out but it turns out that I now am starting to know that I really don't know much. What niches have you guys been able to exploit to make modest returns consistently?
