Anyway, a newbie question.

Does your sites have to rank in the first page to begin pulling in the money or the long tails are sufficient at the moment, I seem to have difficulties getting mine to frontpage,even with exact name domains. Maybe my keywords are too tough but I used Court’s formula of not choosing any keywords that have a PR4 in the top 4. Maybe I should go for keywords that don’t have a PR3.

Yea, I do not allow keywords as names so if you had the keywords as your name in a previous comment, it was deleted. FYI, if you blog comment to get back links, more of your back links will stick when you do not use any keywords in your name nor leave any anchored text links in the comment itself. Blog owners will spam those comments immediately.

I have become more strict about this since I receive a ton from Scrapebox.

But I am more than happy to let you link a name to your url and the comment luv helps.

Well, this is my second comment but I suspect my first has been caught in the spam folder. Anyway, I am really enjoying your journey because it is really a strong motivation for me to push forward.

I am currently at 8 sites and I average about USD1.7 per day. Not great and I hope by June, I can have regular USD 10 dollar days.

I remember that in 2007, we used to have about 100 AdSense niche web sites and after doing some extensive SEO tests and AdSense optimizations during a long period of time, we’ve also noticed the increase in the number of AdSense clicks after creating AdFlex and using it for our niche web sites.

BTW nice & sweet blog!

I was always convinced I had a very appropriate theme for this niche in particular and the original layout had a sidebar for ads and the 468×60 banner above my posts and then I even went back and put a 300 block within the posts. So I thought I was doing pretty good but ultimately I think there was just too much going on with the theme. The adflex SEO niche theme keeps the focus on the huge adsense block. It’s like the attraction of a moth to the fire!

I read about similar experiences on WF. I think it’s sorta divided where some people feel you shouldn’t put adsense on it until the site is fully indexed and others feel you will miss out on the early clicks from when your site first ranks highly in the serps and then drops back a few days later.

I do place ads on my sites right away but I also do not rank as quickly. I don’t know if it has to do with the ads, whether or not it’s a niche that google will not let sites rank quickly with or if it is my own mistake of over looking competition.

Jeff, on Mike’s blog, suggested using UAW and that UAW has helped him rank in the top 10 even for inner pages. So that will be my plan of attack this week. I just hate rewriting for UAW. lol
