Google Movement At Last!?
By: John Elder posted in Adsense
Hello good people!
Well I’m continuing to see movement in my thin site Google rankings, traffic, and earnings!
Adsense earnings from my thin sites was up 218% yesterday over the day before. And I’m seeing movement on Amazon affiliate earnings as well; we’re up 87.5% over this time last month!
It’s very encouraging, to say the least. I’ll keep an eye on things and continue to keep you all posted.
And Shopzilla earnings were up to $1.84 yesterday off 15 clicks and 6,990 impressions. Hey at least it’s almost up to $2 now!
To put that in perspective…if I received 7,000 ad views in one day with adsense, I’d expect about a 20% click through rate…or roughly 140 clicks. And historically my adsense ads pay out between $.40 cents and $.50 cents a click.
So we’d be looking at $56 to around $70 in adsense revenue for that many ads shown.
And shopzilla is reporting $1.84.
Of course, I still think their reporting system is flawed and is reporting bots and not actual people because my own analytics aren’t reporting anywhere near 7,000 impressions on the sites that I’ve put shopzilla ads on. But whatever.
Today I hope to put the finishing touches on my new thick site case study book, which means It’ll probably be ready to go on sale next Monday-ish.
If you haven’t been following along, this book is going to walk you through my little talked about thick site strategy by actually showing you one of my thick sites.
With Google acting so cruelly towards thin sites these days, THICK sites are very important to have in your portfolio. This book shows you how I build them.
The site I walk you through earned around $3,000 dollars in it’s first 10 months…and took me less than one week to build and no on-going work, I didn’t add new content or do any SEO work at all for those earnings.
You’re going to want to know this strategy! Stay tuned…
Keep on building!
