AdBrite, Clicksor, Blacklabelads and if you are worthy Yahoo.

Even if you meet yahoo's requirements doesn't mean they will accept you either, and they take their sweet time to reply.

DT, Bluntly put No.

IF you have AdSense, I wouldnt bother trying for yahoo. If you can't have AdSense then Yahoo is the only true contexually accurate alternative.

ALL the others I have used are not in context with the page , for example this page has domain/webhost related ads, but if it uses any of the other ones I have tried, it may have loads, clothing, get rich quick, or anything else on it.

For exmaple one of my sites for an adult film star has this link Konami PLAY on it, which I have been playing for about 2 hours now :P

I don't understand the $300 a day claim either.

I think $300 Adsense revenue daily from search engine and type in traffic alone, is rare. There must be some sort of traffic generation system to earn this sort of return.

But the sums don't really add up in my opinion. If you are after $300 per day and on average your ads pay $3.00 per click you need 100 clicks per day. If, realistically, only 0.5% of your visitors click you need 20,000 visitors per day. Yes, that 833 visitors every hour of every day, 365 days a year!

Yeh, right, but it's down to a combination of targetting and SEO - and how many sites are up and running. Please bear in mind that I am learning about the website business, 3 months of poking about, but I am still a heap big novice that knows a bit about business in general.

I know a weeny bit about marketing, from my previous life. I can say that if you get a click, that is a 1 in 40 chance if everything is properly focused (ie. your site appeals to the target market), and it is a further 1 in 5 chance that the punter will buy something. That's how you get down to that 0.5% figure.

Now, in general, the heap of rubbish I have put out as websites are doing twice as good in those terms - slightly better than 1% click through to a "buy" decision. But I've recently put up a piece of trash - Bowling A Hook Ball Round The Wicket - that is attracting attention organically, no SE submissions, and significant clicks - BUT NO SALES, despite the users spending over 5 min average on site.

I know I need to block out the irrelevant Adsense ads referring to golf, bowls and cricket. And I know the site needs more content. That's not the point.

The point is that, from where I stand, the tripe I usually turn out as "content" will normally hit that 1% "buy" mark - and my latest project is a failure from that aspect. But to get 0.5% buyers assumes you have TOTAL focus and interest, even if you are "preaching to the converted". Less than that just says you are not hitting the target ...

If $300 a day looks like a mountain, figure out how to climb a small hill first. Work on developing a site that makes $10/day, then do it again! In parallel, grow your $10/day site to $20/day and then $30/day etc.

For every site that was an "instant success" with money flowing in overnight, there are probably a thousand sites that make decent money now through HARD WORK (and a million sites making little/no money because of a lack of focus, bad topic choice, etc.)

Scotts partner Al does very very well out of AdSense and a combination of other ads. He writes very openly about it here - History of a $100K Site Self Made Minds

$30k p/a AdSense earnings which was just 50% of the overall site revenue.

I was thinking about this today...

Isn't $300 a day fairly easy to sum to make if you have 50, 75 or 100 sites ?

These people who say "How I made £300 off google", they don't say "I spent 5 hours finding each of 100 domain names, and 3 months making 100 websites all earning £33 avg per day, so read how I made £300 a day!", probably because all that work doesnt seem like its worth it heh.

I'm just reading the book Cloud Living promoted on the same site. Very well written by a young lad making $10k a month from about four sites. Well worth a read, most of you will know most of it anyway, but there's always something new to learn.

I know this may be a rare occasion where he has obviously found a couple of unexploited niches, but I'm sure if we keep looking there is always the possibility to make some decent cash.

By the way, I do not know the author, just like reading the Self Made Minds articles....
