True. So maybe two or three semi big baskets is the way to go now instead of one big basket or a bunch of little baskets. lol

I am doing 4 Or 5 large sites with general topics and then based on things I learn Fron them and with further research I plan on expanding into smaller niches. I think a realistic net per site is $500. Once there it's time to start replicating.

i gotta agree with TAC on this one from experience. Mega sites are the way.

I was going to make a smart-assed sarcastic comment, but I just feel sad now.

I've shared realistic numbers with GFY before - its pointless. Congrats if you're growing, though. You gotta keep plugging away.

If that is the case please consider a little flexibility when trading on linkspun. I.e. if you request a trade from a site with a PR0 stop limiting the return trade to PR0. Seems like you could afford a little bit of generosity :thumbsup

Interesting advice going on in here :)

From my research on market samari I really think that u need at least one super site in your network. Look at how freeones ranks for every girls name even if they only have a link or two for her and no real content.

This is 100% true. In my network I'm fortunate enough to have three whales that have mad traffic and links, and the other smaller sites benefit from that. But what TAC Amateurs is recommending can work, too, especially if the content doesn't warrant differant sites (as in, all the content is in the 'amateur' niche).

This assumes, however, that the single site owns or pays for the content on the site. Perhaps they do splits with the content producers but structure it so the producer is an 'affiliate" instead of a "partner". But if you do 50/50 splits with the content producers, as I do, then each producer needs his own site, domain, etc.

There are advantages and perils to both but I'd say, in the end, what you wrote is best (paraphrasing): have 2 or 3 "big" sites with a bunch of smaller satellite sites surrounding and integrating with them. Kind of like splitting the baby. LOL

thousands

And you still do not have a merchant account... sigh... :Oh crap

LOL I know, I know...but I realized recently that it is possible to grow my business using third party processors so that's the route I'm pursuing. We'll see what the future brings, of course...:)

Just purchased my first ads.

Careful there, Beatle boy: buying ads can be a money pit. BEST of luck there and post your results. :)

with twerktube? wtf :helpme

john ringo what mainstream niches are you working...

i dont understand john you say people in porn dont think outside the box in your sig but what you are doing hundreds have done before you. what makes your network different. not trolling, asking an honest question.?

is it that or is it a play on words...

honest answer... i think that porn producers are killing us with the same old uninteresting crap videos of the same girls getting banged in the same doctors office, classroom, back of a van, etc.

i have an idea that i can't fund right now is pretty significant. while it's a play on a similar concept, it presents it in a much more user friendly way

and for those of you that will say, porn is produced this way because it sells.... then why is everyone bitching about sales?

ps... i don't mind trolling... fucking free country

its a good start man.. focus on adding more sites and quality traffic.. there IS money in porn.. a lot!

so you're going to put some new girls in the front seat of the van, crash it into a school, and have them fuck the paramedics with strapons when they arrive but you dont have enough to fund this idea because it will cost more than $250 to shoot, unless you rent the uhaul van with collision damage waiver for $19.95/hr

worst month in a 3 years period, while august was the best month in these 3 years period.

No shimmy

Not even close

That's just it. It's YOUR results. IMO it's riskier than it has to be, and you have less potential for top dollar. If you are trying to achieve the most money for the least time, there's a smarter, safer way.

Alot of rich people here

The problem with that advice is that you're completely at the mercy of Google. Get penalized and your income is wiped out overnight.

No not at all. Obviously google is an important traffic source and we'd love to have more of it but the majority of our overall traffic is from non-search engine sources

Its a lot easier to push traffic in and out of one big site than it is dozens of smaller ones. For example, I can push TAC onto page one of several major toplists (yeah I know they are old hat these days) and theres no way I could do that with dozens of smaller sites.

When we started, we got up to about a dozen different domains until we figured it out. Now we have 250 sites all on the one domain. Can you imagine the headache of trying to promote 250 seperate domains ?

If you're using TAC to send to those toplists you're a madman. If you're not, you're not :)

Some comes from links on TAC but a lot comes from 2 or 3 feeder sites we use

im sorry i missed this part earlier :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Not enough.

keep going...

Hehe, not yet.... september, it should be :)

And it may take several months to recover. Diversification is the key to risk management.

Yes. Diversification is the key. Although when just starting out it is best to have a heavy focus on one site.

Re-entered the business on November 10th at around 10:00 PM

Revenue to date (Just shy of 72 hours) = $265.23.

Traffic is hilariously enough "outside of the box", self sustaining and free.

Also started another website that is un-monetized as of yet and did 40,000 uniques yesterday.

:upsidedow

This is a really good idea Shimmy :pimp

Eventally you will realise that theres only so many smaller sites that you can handle. About 7 years agoe I think we got to 15 - 20 sites each with a few thousand hits a day and maybe $500 a month per site when we realised that to get any bigger we had to merge.

Now we push around 100,000 uniques a day through TAC and revenues (not sure I should say this) about $25 - 30k per month. Thers no way you could that with a bunch of small standalone sites

As I understand it, Google is only downranking what it considered are non / poor content sites (ie link farms etc) so providing your main site has some decent content then you should be fine. Infact, weve seen an increase in google traffic recently

My advice, is pick one domain and make it your main site. Perhaps with a few feeder sites to get it going

Hope this helps

$25,000 to $30,000 per month is nothing to be ashamed of, especially in the current climate. Congrats.

Edit: While you are here, are you in contact with all of the 'real amateurs' in your network? If so, I can send you a lot of traffic if you can accommodate me on a few things.

Thanks

Useless without step-by-step instructions.

If u don't get the joke it means u r the joke.
