ive set up a few one page emd mini niche sites
all are low comp and ranking page 1 after a few days.

i am using ctr theme but have adjusted it to display only a single 336*280 ad above the fold so i think my ad placement is fair.

my questions

1. will i be adsense banned for having only 1 300-500 word article per site?
2 if i add another 30 of these 1 article sites will i be busted and adsense banned/site deindexed eventually?
3. if i have say 30 emd domains and sites coming from the same host will it also leave a footprint with google?

thanks for reading and look forward to your opinions

Pretty sure you can be banned just by the nature of your 1 page site as it is, MFA. So you might as well go all out

Keep doing what your doing and building backlinks.

When google doesn't like these 1 page sites anymore, you will definitely know it when you log into your adsense and see a big zero

Seriously though it's 2012. Start thinking about more of a Real business model than a 1 page site.

Adsense and black hat is always a risk. If even 1 page of your site is reported, or someone looks at it from adsense, well say goodbye to the account. But, that's just the nature of the beast. Prob have a better chance of someone clickjacking you and you losing your account than some sort of "manual review" anyhow.

im wondering the same thing

thanks zmoney

i guess the next question is if i ditch adsense on the websites
(for safety purposes) and do cpa/ebay/amazon etc would it affect my page 1 google rankings

1. You will get definitely banned if your sites are manually reviewed and if your AdSense account is new it could be reviewed before the first payment

2. Instead of creating 30 similar sites I would add 10+ articles to each site to keep google happy and to bring in more traffic with long tail keywords

3. It's a footprint for google that you are using the same host, but it doesn't matter as they can anyway track all of your sites based on the adsense code.


I wouldn't use CTR theme as there are indicators that people have been banned because of the theme although I don't believe it's never only the theme which can get you banned.

Thanks for all info. Mates, I am surprised that you speak 100% for sure. Any data, evidence, report, numbers, stats, or news from google?

yes thanks indeed.....the sites are m.f.a so i will work on building quality backlinks and add more posts/articles
PS: i have made a good ctr of 14 percent for the last 2 weeks but last 2 days its been 20 percent <<<< prolly already up for manual review.

now the plan is to get the ctr rate down and content up.

You are welcome mate. With your experience you should know that everything I said is quite self-evident and you can easily find hundreds of posts, case studies and reports backing up these simple facts. You can start by reading google TOS to see what it says about one page sites.

Sorry that I tried to help newbie and upset you because I didn't made case study about how to get banned from adsense.

Crap. Bought a one page Adsense site today and then I read this. Looks like its time to start writing

My point was that it could be 200 pages, if its all spammy and the kewyord is "how to buy a mold reduction spray" and the next page is "tips for buying a mold reduction spray" and theres no user interaction, its ugly, its got adsense all over it etc..

It doesn't matter.. its still made for adsense.. MFA and worthy of banning..

So go ahead and make one pages sites.... lol..

It's tricky....

Keep pumping them out and have fun lol.. but know the risk..

One page sites are suspicious, upon manual review, it can be dangerous.
