One way to make tons of AdSense money!

A few years ago my wife created a fan site. She had no intention of monetizing the site, but, she spent about 1 week advertising it and promoting it through fanclub groups.

Needless to say, that site ended up ranking #1 in both Google and Yahoo because there were so many links back to her site.

Within a very short time her site moved to an Alexa ranking of 80,000.

This was back in 2003.

About 2 years ago I ended up putting AdSense on the site and now, not a day goes by where I don't get clicks.

She has not updated the site in 3 years.

*** I hope this sparks someone's creativity

I don't know that if you tried this method today it would still work.

 

What is the site and can you give more info on how it got popular?

 

I can totally believe it.

I forget who it was, but once I created just one page related to a relatively unknown, but up and coming actor. I couldn't believe the traffic and clicks that came to this site which took me about a half hour to make and which only consisted of a bunch of links related to the actor along with some rewritten wikipedia content.

People love their favorite celebrities, actors, musicians and will search till days end to find information about them.

 

fan sites have a way of making money. Since you like celebrity you enjoy working on the site and promoting it. I made a fan site that now makes me $20 a day.

 

I, of course, can't say the site. But, yes, it was an up-and-coming singer who got very popular. The fans are insanse and will click on anything.

My wife did the original advertising, but, like I said, she wasn't advertising for business reasons. She created a place where fans wanted to go.

I am sorry I don't have much more info than that. I was just trying to help get the creative juice flowing.

 

By the way.......... I sometimes get clicks that are over $1
It is rare, but, the average is between .16 and .45 per click

 

just trying the same now. letz hope this will work

 

I'll probably try entertainment sites one of these days.. thanks!

 

One way to make tons of AdSense money, is not to make site for Adsense.

 

I think your sig says it all - "doing business the slow and honest way" - luck and preparation meant that you were in the right place at the right time - and kept chipping away to make it work... and when it was successful you put adsense on it - not before - which gave a great customer experience.

Nice work

 

Very true, it does take longer but why make a quick buck when you can potentially secure your future

 

I don't see the point ..... of your thread ....
