Off to read some of your other posts now.

Good luck with your new house.

As far as trustrank is concerned, squidoo still has a little trustrank (I don’t use them though) and my hubs are ranking pretty well. As far as parasitic hosts are concerned, EZA ranks high straight out of the box and can hold fairly well if you throw a few links at the article. Currently I use wetpaint, weebly, hubpages, EZA, and blogspot blogs from the “free” perspective, although this can change fairly quickly as Google can change their mind in the blink of an eye.

It is important to monitor your pages to see what is sticking and what isn’t. In some cases, you may be getting traffic from tag pages that actually have PR. If that is the case, you can dominate the tag page by simply creating a ton of pages and saturating the niche. In other cases, you may find a long tail that is accidentally getting traffic that you may want to create an exclusive page for the long tail….ya feeling me?

The most important thing is to go for it and learn from your mistakes….no one can really tell you what works and what doesn’t work…they can only tell you what works for them…and as far as making money with adsense is concerned (or make money online for that matter), just because something works for someone else isn’t indicative of your success.

Court’s system is a good system and I think that the most positive thing I can say about it is that it instills good work ethic in a make money niche that wants to believe that they can make money doing nothing.

i’m a noob with 6 months old xperience, but i don’t think that i’m really a noob in adsense bcz i already made a good money that can cover more than my life and university expenses (i use all free resources). so, i would like to jump to affiliate world. with the keyword research technique that i developed myself, i found around 5 niches with little to zero competition (again, it’s from my own perspective). i would like to test my skill with free resources first before spending money without too much knowledge. the main point here, what free resources that considered the best for landing page. i’m thinking of using squidoo but their trustrank suck.. it’s hell lot of work to rank them. funneling the traffic using ezine.. well good to conquer 1 page with many of my properties. hubpages.. hell, big G doesn’t love them anymore and users will be distracted with many links on the right sidebar. blogger.. maybe but the template.. hmm..

so, what’s ur opinion? since u’r already familiar with this field after involved in 10 years, maybe u can give me some light and direction.

p/s: what’s your opinion about Court technique? you’re already a TKA member, right? maybe you have better opinion than mine.

Build a site around the right terms and you will get the right people looking for specific answers who are very receptive to ads. Like most of these “keyword sniping” techniques that are often talked about it all comes down to understanding the behaviour of people who are looking for something. Get these people to your site and stick ads infront of them and they will click!

With a nice suite of highly targeted niche sites $100 a day is entirely possible without huge volumes. At least in my experience! But similarly I have some fun sites that attract 10,000 or so hits a day and bring in almost no clicks because the people who come past just aren’t looking to buy something… but then website building isn’t always just about money

As far as kids go, I know what you mean. As a WAH dad with a 22 month old (who is winging potty training), I know all about trying to fit everything in with limited time. Thanks for stopping by.

As for adsense, because I’m mommy first and webpreneur second, my adsense earnings suck like a black hole. I found a juicy, but short term niche, and had a few $8 days, but the topic was timely and it ended. I would be happy with $1 a day right now.

I’m crossing my fingers that slow and steady can win the race. Or that tantruming toddlers are good luck charms and an essential piece of the niche blogging business model. Either way.

The good news is that you don’t need to figure out CTR since Google pretty much hands it to you (I don’t remember where I was going with that statement to be real honest, lol…maybe a tangent..)

“So, your have 100 hubs in our mock scenario. You are making $3 a day currently with all your hubs combined. Because you know your CPM is $8.00 and your CTR is 3.5%, a smart marketer can figure his daily traffic at around 300-400 unique views a day after hubpages takes their cut.”

OK – I can just use earnings and CPM to calculate that I am getting 375 views per day: 3/8 * 1000= 375
Where does CTR come into the equation?
