In the beginning of FEB 2006, I decided I was going to start a myspace layouts site before the trend died down. There wasn't half as many layout sites back then. I made around 25 high quality layouts to start off, bought the domain and everything. But before I began to advertise, I got discouraged and took it down. Well this month, I put those layouts back up and bought another domian, but I think it's too late now. Is there still money in myspace layout sites?
there are so many sites about it now...unless you can get good serps its a risk you might be willing to take
you can not tell if you don't try put the site up and work hard to get the serps or buy links on high traffic sites there are still lot's of money to be made from resource sites
if the layouts are totally unique I would say go for it. But if the layouts look like any other layout on the internet you might not want to waste your time. If you are determined to post them I recommend hiring a photoshop expert to revamp them.
One thing to remember is that MySpace is still growing at an incredible rate. As long as those new registrations keep coming in, there will be a market for new layout websites. You'll need a decent budget to get established, but once you're at the 1000 uniques/day mark there's no looking back!
I honestly think that, as long as there are those tens of millions of myspace users, you can never have enough myspace resource sites.
between adsense and valueclick ads, you can easily make a couple of $ per day per site. not huge $ but when you have 5 or 10 sites, it can make you a couple of thousand $ per year with no upkeep or maintenance.
Wow, why didn't you get into it in 2006 like you planned? I think that was the time. Now it's so saturated that you need to advertise just to get visitors (or at least enough to justify the massive clicks) because the CPC is extremely low for myspace sites. Proxy sites aren't far behind. Every one and their momma has a proxy site now. People are selling these turnkey formats by the bucketloads.
Myspace isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. Ask yourself this, when Yahoo started dominating the search engine market, would you have said "it's too late to get into the search engine market?" Well, we all know what happened. Google!!!! So, as long as the window is still open, you try to get through!
If you've got some original content, give it a shot. I've found the money earned per click to fluctuate wildly.
No one is talking about Myspace. We're talking about Myspace layout sites. CPC for them are in the toilet, and you'll be lucky if Google doesn't ban them soon.
Don't make myspace resources site! I bought a well-running myspace resource site only to get a few cent per click. Worse my whole account got smartpriced. I shut it down even though it's making some money. I didn't see any reason to pass my unfortune to somebody else by selling the site to him. It felt good you know to kill a bad performing sites from the face of the earth.
Don't listen to any of these people and don't get discouraged. I was told that proxies are oversaturated, but eventually I made it... I'm sure you can get goood traffic from myspace bulletins!
Duh! The point is it is better that you do something else. This is opportunity cost--you sacrifice one opportunity for another. If you can make a dollar per click in forex website, why do you have to burn arm and leg to create a site earning a few cents per click? Now direct your energy and money to create either high-PPC or unsaturated website. Don't waste your time doing these low-paying websites. Stay way from proxies, jokes, funny pics, flash games, and myspaces. If you visit Sites Marketplace, you'll frequently see these kinds of website on sale more than the others. The reason they're selling? Their websites only earn a hundred bucks a month only enough to pay bandwidth fees.
I was making good money up until 10 days ago when google killed my site on the serp, now I make nothing.
