Thank you for that. I've been doing keyword research and found over 1,600 x-factor type sites (really!) and any that have an extra word in the domain name simply do not have decent rank. I thought maybe I just wasn't stumbling upon the ones that did work. With all the great keywords I've been finding I really wanted to make sites around those, but with exact match domain not available, I'll just move on. Sigh.

Other things that i have noticed is when you deal with spanish keywords they are very low paid compared with the english kw, but well im going to try my best to make my sites work and earn some money. I just bookmarked your web, and i'll be following you in this trip, i hope we can share some tips and great stories. Greetings. Hi sara,

Build your sites with rich content, 5 pages won't cut it...I received a strong warning 2 days ago that my ads were "too aggressive" and that my sites was considered MFA. They have not banned me yet, as far as I know, but I turned off all my adsense on all of my sites and am now working to put affiliate links such as amazon and other networks. Also going back and adding tons and tons of content. This has been a pain for me. Go slow and build your sites up with real rich content....don't settle for mediocrity....you will pay for it at some point, so do it right...u think you're getting away with it now, but google isn't stupid. I guarantee you we're gonna hear many more stories besides mine shortly. My sites have not been de-indexed yet, and i hope it doesn't either....all this hard work will be all for nothing....DO IT RIGHT....TRUST ME...don't get on google's radar My adivce to anyone going off the xfactor model.

I think it will be better for you in the end to just build up the content on your sites. The more pages you have just means the more money you can earn since you will be attracting more traffic to those pages and you will also rank for keywords you didn't even think of. If you are just starting off with micro niche sites you can build them with about 5 pages of content and then add new pages here and there. You’re welcome Michael.

Here is the <a href="http://www.noteworthytips.com/week-4-of-full-speed-ahead-xfactor-sniping/" rel="nofollow">first post</a> where I talked about my strategy with one page sites. Then in <a href="http://www.noteworthytips.com/week-4-of-full-speed-ahead-5-page-wins/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> I talk about why I am not going to build one page sites. Its hard to say whether or not Google will penalize you. Its very possible but if your one page site has a lot of content that is helpful to the visitor, maybe they won't. At the end of the day it boils down to asking yourself is it worth possibly losing your adsense account or having your sites deindexed. I decided not to take that risk. As far as keyword strategy this is what I look for: 1.) Exact local search of at least 2,400 2.) CPC of no lower than $0.40 for the minimum checked with Spyfu 3.) I enter my keyword into google search without quotes and look at the 1st page. If I see 3 PR- or 3 PR0, then I will go for it. 4.) Buy exact match domain name only. Must be .com, .net or .org Hi Michael,
