Is anyone still working with adsense networks? I remember reading cydes story on here, and have read a few others. I'm looking to start building mine out and considered updating here.

- What do you use to manage them? Are they on WPMU or each on an individual WP install?

- How has panda affected your sites? We are looking to build ours 3-5 pages with 100% unique content.
 


Still working with adsense, and doing fairly well again after a bit of a post-panda lapse.

We use WPMU to manage them, and were affected by Panda for a brief time but let them alone for a while other than adding fresh content and they are bouncing back.

Nice, that's what I'm considering is using WPMU. It just seems great because you can customize the 1 central theme and then update it to all, or update individually (same goes for plugins).

How bad of a hit did you take from panda? How many pages avg are yours? I'm planning to hire a VA for around $600 to start working with me to shell these things off, content, and SEO.

Curious as to how many local searches you generally use as the baseline for keyword research as well. I apologize if this is too much to ask information wise, just trying to get a grasp on things before I dump 1k down the drain.
 
It's a waste of time to make new MFAs now. It just takes too long to rank and that time and effort is better utilized on a site that sells something (or affiliate site).

You can get lucky with niches sometimes... I have a four letter exact match domain that was easy to rank within a fortnight and that's free money. But that's an exception.

It's also a good idea to just buy out adsense sites for under 15x monthly income. Just research that their rankings have been stable and the competing site's backlinks.

If you're interested I'm selling a site here :P http://www.wickedfire.com/sell-buy-...th-niche-2-24-cpc-keyword-unique-content.html

I dunno about that. - Havnt really had much ranking trouble lately. If anything I think the jan - march updates aimed at content farms really really helped. Been able to drop a bunch on the first page with in the last few weeks. Then again those are total long tail terms.

And, just "regular" backlinks aren't enough any more.

Hmm.. what sort of trouble have you had with new domains?

Also what do you classify as "regular" backlinks? I admit I have noticed that pr0/na FFA links like profiles are article links are pretty shiet in terms of their effectiveness now.

This isn't necessarily true.

I got a new domain to page 1 on google for 3 keywords in about a month. 3 months later it's PR4 and ranking for all sorts of keywords. Main keyword gets about 400k exact match searches a month. All from using just a few link-building services on WF.

It just depends on the niche, and how you go about doing it, and a bit of luck.... but its certainly not impossible.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. I'm still ranking new domains fairly quickly for their keywords.

thats right, it is very niche dependent

plus an emd helps

What kind of local exact and broad exact do you shoot for when doing research? I've read minimum 1500 exact local, but it doesn't seem these get enough traffic to convert well.
 
I am currently using adsense with great results. Churning high quality content and optimizing it is a real fun :)
 
I dont mind new domains. I just got about 60 out of 75 EMDs to page one. Lots in top 4. Working time 3 months.
Now Im building them out for more long tails. Its work, but I dont mind it. There's gold in them hills.
