Quick update....

My minisite until today has zero SEO / Back link / etc. which started as a test. The site for some reason does not receiving traffic from Google buy gets all known SE hits via Yahoo.

I picked a strange (banking) area but had the backend data available for the unique sticky content. Problem was until I started the domain didnt know if anyone was searching. Today am lucky to attract between 7 - 32 unique hits a day which finally makes over my $5 a week target (£0.50 a day).

I would say the only thing keeping the site alive is the unique content and close keyword usage in domain name. The domain hlq is irrelevant so is the hosting server as its been hosted within the US / Canada and UK with no change.

Site uses no header meta data which will change at some point. But have started to expanding with five similar domains to capitalise on rank by domain keyword. Each site will use same backend but has different site template.

If half the domains hit my $5 target, I will start link building if anyone is interested pm. As for flooding a niche, is this the best way forward for a minisite?

Does anyone have any clue about how adsense work out the payment per click?

My best performing minisite varies wildly.

Today its earned $7.20c from 20 clicks.

Yesterday it earned 0.96c from 10 clicks.

The day before it had done around $7 as well.

Conversley, another site earned $6.80 yesterday from 8 clicks & only 0.25c from 2 clicks today.

Surely the cost per click to the advertiser can't vary that much day by day?

With google it's best to look at weekly oreven monthly state to get the average cpc rather than per day as it does vary massively

dashu,

If you have ever used ADWords (where your clicks are coming from) you will see why you get the big jumps. While advertising a company I setup the pricing by location , time and day of week ranging from 0.01 upto 0.50 for the better targetted ads.

You, as the publisher have no control over which ads are shown other than editing your page content keywords.

Some of my minisites I really dont understand and can only guess people are shagging up. For example expiring.org.uk sometimes has a single click over $3 (morn ~0.10)

I do use adwords but I seem to get charged a similar price per click whenever an ad is clicked - maybe I haven't tinkered with the settings enough.

Still, I find it odd that one day a site can make $7, the next day it struggles to make $1.

Hey ho.

As far as I understand it, this is largely due to geographical location of the clicks on your ads. A click from a place where your search term is competitive will yield better returns; a click from a place where it isn't will yield worse.

Mike.

Not sure if it has been mentioned here, but a good place to get content is to advertise on Craiglist - I understand the Philippines is a good place to start

Simple 1-pager wonders (or 1-page sites) that earn $xxx/month are a thing of the past now. The best minisites I know all have between 4 and 10 pages of unique content, nice images and are based on highly searched keyword domains (minisites.com have a few examples of these, as well as a few of the minisites in my sig.).
