Yeah another one of those. Hopefully it will stick. Mostly posting this to have some progression chart for myself. Who knows, maybe someone will find something useful here. I will try to update twice a week.
I have had a very short history with IM 6 months ago when I was injured and couldnt move around too much. I read a crappy BMD review and thought "hmmz this sounds easy". My entire research consisted of finding a product on clickbank that looked nice. Without any other research I bought 3 domains, in niches that turned out to be very competitive. I worked without any plan or aim for about two weeks and got discouraged pretty quickly. I have not done anything since. To date those sites have 440€ in adsense revenue, around $60 in clickbank and $1.40 in share-a-sale. That money is going back into this.
One of those sites has some keyword potential. The other two I will leave alone for now as one has a high google penalty for copyrighted images (i think) and is nowhere to be seen in search results but strangely enough comes up on first page in images search for a couple of KW. I am unsure what to do with it. The niche is too competitive for me right now anyway. The other one is just very competitive.
Anyway, over this week I have researched keywords, buying domains, writing content, building pages and so on for 5 domains.
One is a semi-finished (lots of related KWs to expand into) adsense site with CPC for keywords between 4-8 euro.
The second will be a clickbank site. CPC in adsense for KW is around 2€, so I will consider that. Bought the domain today.
The third will be monetized by share-a-sale, amazon, and possibly ebay. Its half finished, but its a pretty big site for me, around 100 pages so far, so we will see when it gets finished. (Any comments on ebay affiliate program btw? Pretty much all the sites in this niche seems to be monetized by ebay.)
Fourth is almost finished will be monetized by share-a-sale.
Fifth is one of my old sites which has some good long tail keywords i didnt use. So far its only adsense. The CPC is low but searches for the keywords are high. I am looking into other monetization methods. The old site is more or less finished but I will have to add pages for all the good long tails I found so lets say 30% finished.
Today, I interviewed a bunch of article writers and sent out keywords for 3 of them for 5 test articles articles. Lets see how that goes.
If anyone read this far, here is you reward.
