Photography Tips Site - All Origional Content

    DESCRIPTION:
    Not the usual article adsense site. These are not public articles. I hired a professional article writer to write all of the articles on this site. Every page is targeted towards specific keywords.

    Many different formats were tested and this one seems to get the best adsense click throughs. All testing was done with adwords advertising campaigns.

    The left menu automatically changes every 7 days. But this is all that changes. This makes it look to the search engines as the web page contents are changing from time to time, without the search engines treating this site as article spam. The article contents never change. The article section of the webpage is near the top of the webpage, followed by the left column, followed by the right column.

    STARTING BID: $200

    BIN: $500

    I have not yet set an ending auction date. I prefer the bin price.

    Please Note: I reserve the right to refuse any bids and to cancel this auction at any time.

    Also. Can you give the total number of articles on the site please? What about the copyrights of the articles? Will they be transferred to the new owner?

    The adwords test was not to determine how much profit the site would make. It was used to generate traffic based on specific keywords. Then to continsouly change the site design until the highest click through of adsense ads is generated. I spent a lot of money on the adwords test to generate the traffic I needed on the test. In fact, in some cases I spent up to 3 times the amount on a specific adwords click than any adsense click would generate. This was only for testing purposes of the site design and not for revenue earned.

    The site is fairly new and only starting to get natural traffic. There are not much stats to show. It looks like 0.20 per click is the average for adsense income. I have submitted several articles (not the ones on the site) to the article directories. There is traffic coming from those articles already. All the articles are unique and the copyright is transferred to the new owner.

    There are 22 articles on the site.

    Thanks for the info. I just checked my article list that I receved from my writer. It seems some PLR articles were still left on the site by mistake. PLR articles were used for testing of keywords.


    The following articles are unique and created by my writer:

    Main Page
    Know The Camera Better Before Starting
    Photographic Equipment Part I
    Photographic Equipment Part II
    Photographic Equipment Part III
    Photographic Equipment Part IV
    Photographic Equipment Part V
    Choosing The Right Camera
    Selecting the Right Camera
    Proper Camera Care
    Sending Photos Via E-Mail
    Settings To Improve Your Photography Skills
    Special Uses Of Photography Part I
    Special Uses Of Photography Part II
    Take A Picture Like A Pro
    The Digital Camera
    Things You Should Know About Photography
    Tips For Better Looking Pictures


    The rest of the articles are PLR articles left behind by mistake. The new buyer can not claim copyright to these articles but they can be published on the site. I can remove these articles if the buyer does not want them on the site.

    Sorry for my error.

    I have to take my bid back as it was based on the uniqueness on articles. So on 17 articles I can bid $170 but that is less than start price.
    Sorry.

    You might also want to speak to your writer about correcting the content. Most of the articles are full of photographic errors. Whoever wrote the content doesn't know the subject matter
