Even better if these sites are on various class-C subnets. Rick — I agree completely. Even better if these sites are on various class-C subnets.

I agree with your ideas but just a thought for you. I would think about building your sites all in a couple of adjacent niches. That way if you get one of two of your sites to start getting significant traffic then you can do a bit of linking together to gain juice on all of them. Rick Mark

I think the best sites have a home page and 5-6 "main pages" that are linked from the home page. They then get a constant feed of articles (1/week or 1/month) that support the 5-6 main pages. Internal linking of these pages is important. This means that the supporting pages should like back to your main pages via your keywords. Bottom line is that 5 pages is plenty to start, and once you get 30 or so pages on a site, you can probably leave it alone. Or, you can keep growing it and build an "authority site". Regarding style -- be informative and helpful. Keep your articles on topic. Keep your paragraphs shorts. Put yourself in the shoes of the person that just clicked the link and write what you would want to read. Keep articles to 300-500 words. Those are some rules of thumb.

Tim works from 9PM to 1AM every night (4 hours/day, 28 hours a week -- just over 100 hours/month) and makes $10,000/month (about $100/hour). The secret? Sites that he never works on continue to generate money. So, this is very much like investing. Start small and build your internet empire. @TOP CD — Well, all I can say is “Tim Gorman.” Tim works from 9PM to 1AM every night (4 hours/day, 28 hours a week — just over 100 hours/month) and makes $10,000/month (about $100/hour).

The effectiveness can produce stimulating results that flow through with consistency and duplicate content, will surge with a much higher level of generated leads back to your web site. The same could be said for parked domains, the application process can be done in a semi-automatic fashion with high paying dividends. Supplying the search engines with targeted related keywords then having back links that support the framework can have dramatic cash flow rewards. Following through from those who are experts within this field is not "Rocket Science" but it does tend to sway towards a more uniformed approach.

I am still a little bit confused about how big to grow an adsense site and how much information You should put on it. Have I understood you correctly in the post above where you said you have a number of niche sites that are 5 pages? Is this the optimum size of a site keeping in mind your comments about having people leave through clicking to obtain further information. I suppose what I am asking, is there a certain style of writing and presentation for an adsense site that is more successful than another? Great post Mark and has certainly got me thinking.

The e-Book by Josh does a great job of detailing the methods to creating the $5 a day site. I'm always curious how much time people spend. For instance if it takes 20 hours to create the site, write the material, and get the traffic (on average) and I know I have 2-hours a day, then I know it will take me about 10-days. That is about $7.5 an hour for the first site. However, there are some costs, such as hosting, some tools such as Adsense themes :O) , Keyword research tools, etc. If I do that 10 times, that is 100-days or about 3-months of work and about $1,500 per month (which is my initial goal, btw). That is a good part-time income, but not full-time. What is the next step to "pump up the volume"? and what is a realistic time-frame for doing it?

As an aside, did you give yourself a pat on the back after watching John Reese's third video about creating traffic with digital products? If not, remove hands from keyboard and do so now. :-) Annie Somehow I don’t think this will win for “best question” but the truth is, besides wanting to know what you wish you had done differently and why (which you’ve already alluded to telling us) I want to know something about your advertising channels and results – what has been working and what hasn’t and what is on your agenda to try next?
