3 micro, 3 amazon = no earnings

Yeah I think more articles will be good, hopefully get site 2 unsandboxed aswell.
 
Wow thats unfortunate. IMO, give it some more time.
 
what is the minimum number of articles so that G likes the site and start ranking it better ?
 
It's not unreasonable that the bank site isn't making you anything. Why would it? It's a terrible site (by which I mean that 1. it doesn't look like a site worth staying on and 2. it doesn't provide anything that the official site doesn't provide more effectively).

If you have the number 2 spot, it'll be very visible to anybody who is using Google to get to their bank site... so make it into something that people are more likely to click on. I don't know what that would be... maybe some bad press if you can dig any up, or something like '3 secrets to get more money back from capitol savings' or some-such.

They are the exact keyword searches.

i.e my number 1 site is ... and the exact keywords are capitol federal savings

(dont mind disclosing this site as its number 2 yet poo)
 
Global monthly searches are

site 1:5400
site 2:110000
site 3:10000

us alone
5400
74000
8100

First of all, how long since you in the #2 spot?
and second, Your site is #2 in first page but you're actually not really on #2 position, because the #1 spot has 12 site links result.
and third the keyword only have 1900 exact match, i think the #1 site took all the traffic (it's the authority site with 12 site links)
The advertiser competition also very low on that keyword, i think it's not a good keyword at all, but hey, this just my opinion which i'm still a noob.
 
One more thing.. add some tracking system or use google analytics to track all your traffic

Yeah. Already sorted analytics. One of the first things i always do

Ive had a similar problem. My problem was: I was #1 for a search term that was getting like 1400 exact searches a month, global. I got no hits though. Turns out, LOCAL exact searches was like 60 a month...and i was #1 in the US. It was being searches on other countries like south african google, where i was no where to be found. I now base my KW decisions on LOCAL exact searches per month.
 
I would definitely change the ad, I keep getting the some ones over and over, they are not at all relevant to your site. 5400 is broad, exact is 1900. You show up as #3 for me, you can make #2 but the site would not be worth pushing for #1. There is also no competition from advertisers so you are not likely to get many relevant ads.
 
Sorry sorry was bein a bit dumb. Local us exact searches for the sites r about 1500 - 1900. I know this as i often check. I forgot to tick the exact search box as i was starting this thread. So yeah my apologies for that error. Each site is approx 1900 exact local searches

man that's a really bad keyword to base a site on...just spend all your time on keyword research and maybe one day you can build a good site. Next time give a better look over on the keywords you buy from sterday
 
I know that now. Bought these as a beginner so its for the learning really. I like the cahallange and have learnt alot so far. As i have the domains i will keep plugin away at it.

OP you should wait for some time, there is no magic pill or magic button in IM. I know what you are feeling right now because I am also in same situation.
