Lightning Round #3!!!

Lets say, hypothetically speaking of course, that you just had like the best domain name ever dumped in your lap.

What would you do to monetize it? Adsense? Selling Ad Space? Affiliate Programs? A crafty combination of all three? What, in your opinion, makes the most money for a domain like that.

This has absolutely nothing to do with this thread

The best way for a newbie to get started, is to start small. A typical newbie is short on time, cash, and knowledge. You don't want to blow your entire campaign on just a guess. Trial and error is your best bet. Make 2-3 pages for one niche, and make a campaign targeting each one seperately. Spend maybe $10 a day on each campaign and just fine tune the ads so that you are getting a great CTR and most importantly a high ROI.

wow..this is so fun, making my heart beat fast. i'm constantly pushing refresh! ah, ok stop wasting your time...

umm. as for PPC arbitrage again, niche selecting is obviously very very important. Is there any set niches that you recommend us stay away from if we do venture into arbitrage,...maybe even better, what niches to venture into? have you ever lost money from arbitrage?

when creating content for niche markets, and taking into account that any of the content written is relevant, keyword rich, etc., are you better to have X number of lonnnng articles or xxx number of shorter articles? the lonnnng articles could have links to anchors on the page.

i'm not sure if i should just whip out a bunch of 250-500 word articles or write bigger ones that might be more useful.

I would stick with 250-350 word articles about one specific keyword or topic. You want to be able to give as much information as possible surrounding that one topic so that you can ultimately rank well for it. Be sure to focus on header tags, title tags, and overall keyword placement within the article. Don't overdo it either, because you never know how the algo's will change in the long run. Also toss in a few links pointing to that page from VERY relevant articles, sites or best of all, blogs. Maybe do a free press release on it. Although it may never get read, it will be indexed and will count when major updates are done.

My foot in your ass came first!


I'll pick anything that has to do with websites.

Market research is your best friend and by far your first priority. Your questions are far too general, and I'm not going to other threads now.

To monetize any site, you first need to see what everyone else is doing to get a good idea on how things are working for them. Then you need to pinpoint the top 10 big wigs on the engines who are really making bank and incorporate all of their tactics (after much research of course) and create your own method for success. This may take a while, but if your domain is so great and brandable (easy to remember) then you will do very well in just a few months time.
 
For niche sites with 250-300 word articles, where is the best place to put contextual ads for the highest CTR?

Yes, stay away from the stupid mesothelioma crap. It's a red flag on Adsense now, because there was a huge surger of bullshit clicks and traffic for a fairly small industry. The only reason they payout so large per click is because every potential lawsuit and settlement is worth millions to them.
 
Do you do any PPC arbitrage straight to supplied landing pages? Or do you always put up your own site and have ads?

Mainly in reference to lead based offers like free offers that just require an email address.

The porn network I had. Stayed on Google for 2 years, had over 250 domains, with hundreds of thousands of pages. I dominated that entire porn niche for those entire two years too. Made a ton of cash, and after that I too a year off to quit adult and get into mainstream.

Here's my cheeky question, how much did you make with the porn network during the two year period? (I ask because I intend to dominate a fairly new niche using hundreds of blogs and cloaking similar to your porn network.)

This is not a stock forum. I don't invest by myself. I invested in a few hedge funds a few months ago and I let those guys do the work for me.

There is no answer for that, it totally depends on the layout of your site and content, and niche too sometimes. I would do a borderless 4 ad unit leaderboard smack in the middle of the content. Toss up some pictures on top and let it go. Make sure the pixels have a 1 pixel border around them so they don't look like the ads (google's guidelines), aside from that, welcome to high CTR country.

I have my own pages custom made. You can do the affiliate link stuff if you really want. From what I've seen it does just as well.
 
Maybe this isn't the right time and place to be asking this, but how and when did you start making money online?

Millions upon millions of Yen. :321:
 
So for PPC arbitrage you will always stick with your theory of buying low and selling high? You will generally stay away from Google adwords?
 
Hehe, i'm trying to think of questions! my brain is going crazy, i know i have a lot of PPC arbitrage questions!
