Guys, not really sure what to tell you about your dead sites. I'm in the same boat with several of my projects, and personally I think they're so far gone that it's not worth worrying about trying to resurrect them. Also, many of those sites had thousands of crappy, over-optimized links pointing...

Yeah, I had pretty much the exact same thing happen. It was an EMD site I built last August, about 10 pages of content, all original, all over 500+ words. Was getting around 20-30 UVs a day and making decent money, now I'm lucky if I get 2. I did some spammy link building, but most of it was...

To everybody who keeps saying that the site isn't going to keep ranking: you could be right, but it would be awesome if you'd also post your reasoning or personal experiences along with your opinions. I'm not trying to pass this off as some sort of bulletproof ranking method, and I realize...

I'm pretty sure there are no links to the site yet. To be honest, the content is pretty mediocre (the writer I hired didn't do a very good job) so I don't think very many people would link to it. It's about the cost of a certain service. You're right, and I should have pointed out that I...

UDPATE: I never manually clone sites anymore. I use WP Duplicator, which lets me clone a site in about 2 minutes and doesn't have all the room for screwing up like manual cloning does.

A couple months ago I did an experiment and built five one-page niche sites. Here's how I set them up: Low-competition keywords with 1000-5000 global exact matches .com or .net domain containing full keyword Standard off-the-shelf WordPress theme from ElegantThemes One article of around...

I've never done this step and haven't had any issues. Maybe PHPMyAdmin is designed to ignore the CREATE command if you're pasting the SQL into an existing DB?

Works perfectly in FF and Chrome, haven't tested in IE.

You're right, I included too much detail and I spent too much time trying to make it easy to read. I don't know what I was thinking. Let me try again. Here's a tutorial I just wrote on how to build a car: go to the parts store buy some wheels and a frame put the wheels on the frame then get...

Here's the method I use to clone WordPress sites. This will copy everything--your database, posts, plugins, settings, images, etc. This should work for any host that provides cPanel. This isn't the only way to do it, but it works for me. If you somehow manage to ruin your site while using this...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm think I'm just going to try to increase my visitor count. I haven't done any SEO for the individual posts (just the home page) so I bet I could get a lot more traffic if I do some basic link building.

I have an image site that focuses on a luxury car. It's just a WordPress site and each post is an image with a single line of text. I'm getting about 150 UVs a day. Currently monetizing with AS for around $60-$70/month, but I feel like the site has more potential. I'm thinking about adding a...

I really like the concept of this method, but I'm trying a slightly different approach. I'm making WP sites using a professional, easy to edit theme. I don't set up ANY plugins except for maybe a contact form. If the site I'm redesigning has six pages, I create six blank pages in WP...

Thanks for sharing your progress. I love threads that show how work = money. I read that you make sure to include non-affiliate links in your site articles, which is something I'm really bad about. How many of these links do you usually put in your content?

If Internet porn has taught me anything, it's that Eastern Europe generates insanely hot women. Once I make my fortune online I'm heading to Ukraine for vacation.
