Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 6
Unfortunately after many attempts, my niche website has still not broken into the ultra competitive Top 10 in the Google search engine results (SERP) for my main keyword. While some may call that a disappointment (since the goal for most money earning sites is to make it to No. 1 and start generating revenue), I’m not completely sure that all hope is lost just yet. I have noticed a few very interesting things that put a little bit of sunshine over my situation. Let’s take a look at them: … [Read more...] about Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 6
Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 5
I’ve got to admit that I’m slightly frustrated. Ever since the Google penalty was removed from my niche website, I was happy to see it go from as low as Number 40 and stabilized between No. 16 and 20. But then over April it hasn’t really moved too much beyond that … Obviously the goal with building these money earning sites is to make some money! With Google Adsense as my major monetization stream for this site (for now), I’m not going to receive nearly as much action on the bottom of SERP 2 as I would if I were at the No. 1 spot. That’s why cracking the Top 10 spots by getting to the first page of Google and eventually the number 1 spot is absolutely imperative if I want to see any amount of significant income. And so that leads … [Read more...] about Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 5
Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 4
When last we left, the latest of my money earning sites seemed to be lost in the desolate wastelands of ~ No. 300 in the Google search results. No one was ever going to find my website, and it was surely never going to make any money! Obviously I did something wrong, and Google wanted me to know. Thankfully, I was able to get a clue as to what my sin was and what I should do to correct it. Here’s what I did to get my niche site back on track. If you’d like to read previous chapters, follow the links at the bottom of this post. … [Read more...] about Building My Money Earning Sites – Niche Website Update Part 4

Our Vacation Dilemma – Plus Blog Updates and a Giveaway
Here is our vacation dilemma: For a few weeks now, we’ve been planning on booking a trip to Disney World. We took the kids years ago when they were really young and we’ve wanted to go back before they get too old to really get into it. But I started checking into the price … Holy cow! It’s looking like $4500 to $5000 for a 5 or 6 night package! … [Read more...] about Our Vacation Dilemma – Plus Blog Updates and a Giveaway
Niche Website Project Part 2 – The Unveiling
Thank you for being patient with me and returning this week to see the unveiling of my niche site. If you’re just now joining me, then you should know that last week I talked about how I was finally going to get to work on the next of my extra income ideas, and that idea was to create a niche website (a smaller and more concentrated website that is built around a very specific keyword). If you follow the blog carnivals, then chances are you may have come across it already. But in case you haven’t, without any further ado, here is a snapshot of my niche site project: … [Read more...] about Niche Website Project Part 2 – The Unveiling
Starting the Next of My Extra Income Ideas – Building a Niche Website
With P2P investing off the table as one of my extra income ideas, I got right back on the horse and turned my attention towards a new type of side project: Building a niche website. For those of you who are not familiar with what a niche site is, it’s generally a smaller type of website that focuses on a very specific topic. If its full of good content, then they can be of great value to readers who are interested in that subject. Chances are that you’ve probably typed a very detailed search term into Google and one of the first results that you’ve clicked on was a niche site that someone created. … [Read more...] about Starting the Next of My Extra Income Ideas – Building a Niche Website
