1 Minute to Read Guide in Order to Improve Your Ranking With the Big G | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Interesting idea. Can you link to a "niche" site like you're discussing, I'd love to see exactly what you're talking about. And how do you come up with the $100/month figure — just adsense and affiliate links, right? I'd imagine that it would be difficult to find marketers otherwise since you're not going to be updating the site consistently.

Good tips! I only have one website now, but I was thinking about setting up some niche sites this year. I will have to remember these tips for when I do! Thanks!

Great points. I am working on two niche sites at the moment.  The suggestions regarding alt text on images is a huge one since much of my Google traffic is from people searching images that then pop into the site.  Also, the hot linking with key words everyone should do.  My niche sites are not complete but have earned me $5 since registering the domains in December. I don't mind sharing.  One is howtokillbedbugsnow.com and the other is mytenantfromhell.com.  :) 

Another decent tip is getting your key word in your URL if possible. I chose one of my niche sites based on a really popular series of posts on my current site.  Right now a post that I have on my tenant from hell ranks on the first page of Google for that search term, so I took advantage of people searching for that phrase to build the niche site.  As I said, I'm still working on them. 

Wow. There was a lot of information that I hadn't even considered. So much to learn!!! Thanks for the insight.

The Financial Blogger, I love you… will you marry me!!!  LOL!

Seriously, thank you for a great post that is written in easy to understand terms.  I can't wait to read more of these posts from you. 

Nice stuff about keyword optimization, internal linking and onpage optimization.

However site age also plays into stuff too, bigtime.  From what I understand for Big G to trust a site it needs to be 1 year or older, though I'm sure that depends on the kinds of links that you get too.

So I think that if sites are in the same niche, better to have one more comprehensive site in that niche with more posts, and pick another niche to start another.  As your sites age, you just keep targeting new keywords and optimizing posts on that site in your niche, because the authority gets better and better for you.

Key of course is great content in combo with great SEO to maximize value to readers and your profits.  Can everybody say win-win? :)

the idea of generating niche websites is  a good one and one that i have been doing for a few years now. i  currently have multiple websites, and have sold many in the past.  many of you have asked for specific links to niche websites. here are a few that you can look and evaluate:

http://www.dubai-information-site.com/ - 7 streams

http://rotator-cuff-therapy-ex…..cises.com/ - 4 streams, 2 in the works

http://bamboo-plant-care.com/ - 1 stream, 4 in the works

http://www.sue-the-airline.com/ - 2 streams, none in the works

i would have disclosed the others but those are highly profitable niches that don't have much competition.  i am sure you can understand my reasons to protect the word from spreading like wildfire.

you will notice that each website makes revenues in different ways, up to 7 streams of income from one website alone.  these can be extremely profitable if optimized and marketed well. traffic only increases with time, and revenus are directly proportional to traffic when it comes to an online business.

here are some of the ways my websites generate income for me:

1 – public ads, i.e. google adsense , chitika and the likes

2 – private ads, either i solicit them or they reach out to me

3 – affiliate products and services

4 – referral/lead generation

5 – ebooks, both affiliate and self created (through third parties)

6 – DVDs, both affiliate and self created (through third parties)

7 – audio products, both affiliate and self created (through third parties)

8 – sale of websites.

if you can establish a profitable website on relative auto piliot, you can sell it for a healthy earnings multiple. it's like selling any income producing asset. i recently sold a niche content website that was earning $800 per month for just under $30,000. 800 per mo is 9,600 per year, thus an annual earnings multiple of 3 (28,800 divided by 9,600)

in addition, i make a good chunk consulting serious individuals as well as small companies on SEO / building and establishing e-commerce websites 

over 75% of traffic on average on each one of these comes from free organic search results, hence the SEO. as a result, many doors are automatically opened for you.

this has been one of the best ways i have been able to develop multiple streams of passive income. it is one of my most favorite topics and one that i talk about frequently on my blog. i have also written a comprehensive free report that walks through the entire process.  i am contemplating releasing a video on the topic soon to upload to youtube. i will make sure i come back to update the group on its progress as it develops.

Kevin thank you.

Loved your recent post on Korea just a week or so ago.
