As far as that particular WF member getting all his niche sites banned, well I can’t say as to why since I have not read the thread and do not know the specifics. Even if all of his sites were discovered or reported to Google, Google would only ban if he was violating something from the that is in the Adsense TOS. Maybe he was even using product names as his keywords. That could be a reason for Google to ban as well for fear of being connected to the member and having the brand name threatening Google as well. It could be that the sites were not providing any real content that was intended for visitors. Google can smell a made for adsense site a mile away. Xfactor has said time and time again to write real content that provides the information your visitors will find insightful or helpful. If you get sloppy and just throw up junk “filler” content on your site, then Google is either going to de-index your site or ban your adsense account altogether.

I don’t think its a matter of the template. Just like I am sure I am not the only person using this blog template out there and there are thousands more that just use the basic standard wordpress template. So the template is not the issue, he had to have done something to break the TOS.

The best thing is to not let the WF threads discourage you. In fact, I don’t even read those threads but maybe once every week or so.

If you have any fear about building micro niche sites, then I will offer you these safe tips:

1.) Do not target product/brand names for your domain

2.) Get your privacy policy, about and contact pages up right away and do not display any adsense on those pages (I use a privacy policy creator – http://www.serprank.com/privacy-policy-generator/index.php ). this is great because they include the DoubleClick Dart info on there as well which is part of Googles new TOS.

3.) Fill your pages with real content and no shorter than 400 words.

4.) For extra safe measures build 10 pages of content per site

Just something to ask you on Xfactor since I’m following John’s method too. I came across a post in Warrior Forum. Someone who has followed Xfactor and has 18 niche adsense sites just got the ban from Google. He figured someone must have found out and reported his sites to Google. Not sure why would he get the ban although I really can’t tell what else he did on his sites or templates and if he violated the TOS. But he claimed he followed exactly what Xfactor taught in the ebook. If we give him the benefit of the doubt, why then would Google not like Xfactor’s template. What do you think?

p.s thanks for fixing the comment posting problem for me

I have seen that video before, about 2 months ago. It is an amazing speech!

If you get another good result from your second test, I might have to purchase it as well. lol

I would say you have done a pretty good job with your keyword research to be ranking 8 out of 11 sites. Out of 22 sites I am only ranking 6 sites on page 1 with 4 more sites sitting on the top of page 2 so they should move up to page 1 in a few more weeks.

When I first used UAW, I noticed that it did take them about 4-5 days to approve and run my first submission. I guess since I have been using them for a month now, new submissions get approved within 24 hours and usually start their first submission run within 24-48 hours. I am not sure whey there is a longer delay the first initial week you start off with them. i received an email saying there were some delays going on with their MAX service which is separate from UAW but no word on UAW delays.

I’m not as lucky as I used to be as far as ranking on page 1. The first 11 or so sites I did, I think 8 landed on Page 1. Not anymore. Now I’m happy if I can get every other site to show up on Page 1.

On another note, how long does UAW take to approve articles? Are they experiencing delays? I submitted on Sunday, so I imagine they would have had all of Mon, Tue and Wed to approve my first set, but nothing so far. Wondering what your experience is with them. Thanks Sara.

What do you think of Xfactor’s book? Pretty exciting stuff huh?

The board helps. Everyday I look at it at least 10 times and I repeat to myself “I am earning a full time income. I see my payments being deposited into my account, I am thin, I am healthy, I am falling in love…”. You know, whatever is on there! haha

Oh and the woman in pink is Jada Pinkett-Smith. Will Smith’s hot wifey!

I’m working on trying to double rank 2 sites at the moment. So far no luck.

And not only that, you also managed to have a double listing for the phrase. I had a little laugh because I know you're trying to get a double listing on your xfactor sites per Griz's advice, and lo and behold, you get one on your blog site without even trying, I think.
