i suck with adsense/domain flipping big bucks

Ok so I have been working a few adsense niche sites really with no luck. I have the seo part down. All my sites get ranked quick (for long tails). but so far i haven't had to deal with the sandbox. I've been doing this for about a year and i just very minimal results.

Now i did learn what was wrong. I was focusing on content and not links. .. We wont even discuss that battle but I now know that its links what matters and thats it.

So with that being said i need to get links. but this is the part that kills me i know those high ranking sites aren't just posting on craigslist, yahoo answers, blog comments, article submissions and that other normal stuff. There is some secret weapon thats being used, and as of right now im not sure what it is.I have heard about xrumer..maybe thats it but so far i cant do anything with adsense.

So what i have been doing is Domain flipping to make some money online. See I understand seo really good. I also understand why people want domains and why they are willing to pay so much for them. so if you put all of that together you have a winning recipe for success.

See i had to leave adsense alone. and build a few sites with short but targeted domain names. I seo the heck out of them, then use bookmarking demon for a few links (i dont think bmd is the secret link tool by the way). and then i use those paid hits sites to increase my unique views when im ready to sell. I do this to about 3-5 sites every 2 months each site sells for an average $800-$3000. real quick and easy and i dont have to worry about that secret weapon thats hiding out there somewhere.

Oh yeah for the purpose of increasing the value of your domain social networks can come in handy here...

Im also crap at adsense, averaging about $2-$3 per day lol

richbiz thank you for this "tip" because i was trying to find someone just like you
I am not really newbie when it comes to internet marketing, but i am when it comes to making money :/
So i figured out that the best thing i can do is just what you just sad.

yeah for some reason i just cant get adsense to do anything for me. ive done tons of reading and still no luck. maybe i just pick bad niches or something i dont know. but i guess i use domain flipping as a foolproof backup. because as long as you make the domain look worthy it will almost always sale.

as for xrumer i have heard great things about that. but 1) i heard if you're not super tech savvy (im like only half of being of semi tech savvy lol). 2) the price is crazy but i guess the reason for that is to keep it out oif the hands of noobs who would abuse it. but i think it would be worth it if you can afford it.

What niches are you targeting? I have only had luck with financial type sites. Also, Adsense earnings per click seems to have dropped significantly over the last month.

Richbiz, your story sounds pretty much like mine (plus 2 partners). We can't compete with the guys in our niche and have come to a conclusion that they must have some "secret weapon". Haven't been able to find it yet. On average we make less than $1.00 per day with "adCents" and we have been spending lots of time on our site and trying to build links etc.

We have also decided to start flipping sites but have yet to start the research.
