Ok I have been thinking of this question a couple days now and I think I have it concise enough to post.
The ultimate reply I would like to see in this thread (from an absolute expert) is "Yes Webjedi, you are entirely correct in your thinking".
If not, I would love to learn how this works. Here we go:
The scenario: Let's say I own an EMD.com for the keyword "dog training" and I have 3 articles, great SEO and everything else I need to rank the site #1 in Google.
Let's say that the KW "dog training" fetches (cough) a CPC of $5.00 from Adsense.
Now Google has determined that I am the BEST resource for "dog training" and thus made me #1 and in essence serves ads that are tightly related to "dog training" on my site. So in a perfect world I am getting $5 per click.
Now I start to add more articles. "dog training collar" "dog training by beating" etc. All of these articles are within my theme of dog training but here is what I am wondering, as more articles get added, they start to rank on their own, now "dog training by beating" is ranking number 1 for that KW.. Google then serves ads on that page that are related to "dog training by beating" and the CPC for that term is $1.
When a user clicks on the home page that is ranked for "dog training" do I get adsense ads that are related to dog training and dog training by beating?
If I broaden my site with a ton of articles all within the theme, am I going to dilute my overall adsense value?
Right now I am ranking for a KW that has a CPC over $40. I am afraid to add more articles unless they are specific to the KW that I have ranked for, for fear of diluting my site's tight theme and thus getting lower CPC.
Is the URL being ranked for a KW based on the home page or the site as a whole? Wont I destroy my rank for that KW by adding articles ?
My guess is that I will not and everything will stay the same except I will add more KWs to rank for and have more pages in the niche and my CPC will stay the same for the home page that has the rank for that word.
Is this the case WF experts?
