Quick question: How do you find such keywords that have 14k exact searches a month? I've been doing some keyword searching recently with MS but at best I get around 30-60 exact daily which works out to at most 2k a month...

I think you may have misread my first post. The stats I gave were:

- 14,000 searches per month
- 1,300 exact searches per month

So your "30-60 exact daily" is about on par.

Oops, I went back to double check and looks like I misread it. But thanks for the clarification! Starting on my site soon and I hope it will be a success! It's my first time so I'm not sure if the keyword I've picked is good or easy to rank...
 
How easy is your keyword to rank?

Ive been finding keywords with nearly zero competition on front page, keywords have CPC of 2-5$, 1k+ traffic, hopefully this batch of micro niches i make will be that light at the end of the tunnel ..

Not sure. I guess we'll see!

Hopefully they pay that much. I have one site where the CPC is $3+ but each click has been under $1.00.

- Third click: $0.67.

Total: $1.95

Ballin :D
 
Slow and steady! Planning to start my Adsense site soon once I have the time...

Since your title is "another Adsense site", I assume you have more than one? Do you use the same Adsense account for all of your sites? Cos I'm afraid of getting my Adsense account banned, yet I think it might be against the TOS to have multiple Adsense accounts.
 
Looking good. Slow and steady work! Keep us updated please, too many people quit these. We love reading them to completion!

Hi turdface, thanks for sharing your progress.

Turdface, I am about to start an Adsense site that will see about 10,000 hits/day from an FB fanpage. I've read on this forum that FB referrals have poor click rates on Adsense, do you think this is true? Am complete noob at this so sorry if stupid question :)

Did you order them from you SEO guy? Would you recommend manual link building on relevant blogs for a start up site like this one?

Hi.

Average CTR is 1-3%.

Don't listen to all the people on the forums who talk about having 10+% CTRs and other bullshit. They're lying. No one's CTR is consistently that high and if it was, it would probably throw some flags at Google. Of course, this post will be replied to with people saying "nuh uh, just because you don't get that high of CTR doesn't mean no one does! I get 15% CTR and make $5,000 a day and fuck supermodels on my yacht!"

Sure, sometimes you get 10% DAYS, but on average, over the course of weeks and years, 1-3% is pretty average. If you're lower than that you might want to look at your ad placement. If you're higher than that, stop gaming the system before you get your account banned.

I don't know anything about FB traffic, but I've heard affiliate people complain that FB traffic doesn't convert well.

If your brand new site gets 10,000 hits/day, you might want to make sure everything is perfectly in accordance with Google's TOS. 10,000 hits/day will likely get Google's attention. Even all my sites combined together don't get 10,000 hits per day.

I get 5%+ average...

Yes I use the same account for all my sites.

If you're not doing anything shady you don't have anything to worry about.

I believe it is against TOS to have multiple accounts, but I have heard people say you can have one personal account and one business account (registered to a legal business entity) and that is ok. Verify this yourself, however.
