    Are Adsense Ready Sites a good idea ? Many would say that this makes it a lot easier for people who want to make money with adsense because it saves a lot of time but I think you should think twice before paying.

    Numbers And Observations
    -Let’s start with some hard facts about how much a click can be worth. There are a lot of numbers floating around about how much a click can be worth to your site. And from what we have seen this number can be anywhere from $0.01 to $20.0. Sorry we can’t disclose what kind of advertising can generate those higher numbers. On average this number is about $0.25 per click.

    -Next important factor is how many clicks can a web site get which will materialize in revenue. If you think though this, you will soon realize it depends on how many visitors you have for your web site. Unless you are a site like MSN, Yahoo or Google this number could be anywhere between 500-5000 visitors per day depending on ranking of your web site’s content. And if you are a new web site, then you will be lucky if you can get 50 users per day to start with.

    And these site who are selling these adsense ready web sites are not sites which people visit to buy something or have very latest and greatest news on those topics. These people have copied content from here and there creates pages which are same for every single web site they create in that category.

    Here is a kicker for you. Search engine algorithms are very mature to detect duplicate content in no time. Especially google is very strict about this. A site with duplicate content on mirror locations or multiple back door sites get punished pretty heavily. And I have a first hand experience with it.

    I was in middle of moving a site from one domain to another and forgot to block searchbot access to old site. Google’s bot indexed both sites and detected dupplicate content. And in no time site’s ranking was dropped. It took us time to bring it back up but we finally did it. But this is a very serious point to think about. So if you are buying these readymade web sites, for quite some time do not expect lot of traffic.

    - Next important number is page impressions or how many times ads are getting streamed or displayed on site. Again it depends on what kind of site you have. And how much content you have on web site. These ready made web sites are not going to give you a web site with hundreds or thousands of pages. You will be lucky if they can offer you a site with 10 pages.

    - And now comes the very important number. CTR, click through rate. This number is how many clicks you get per page impression of the ads. This number is very critical. Think about your own experience with web surfing and how many ads do you click when you are visiting a web site or when you are searching some content and land on a page where ads are being displayed. Do you click on every single advertisement or banner? I am sure your answer is NO.

    My advice to you is to create your own adsense sites from scratch.
