Hi Lis,

I have heard about this “Niche Devil”…

Is it any good, and if so why is it sold out when I look for it, after all it is only a piece of software isn’t it that can be reproduced?

I’m just curious.

How about this BANS? is that any good?

    Hi Folks,

    I liked Steve pavlina until I read his dieting tosh, and I found out all the tosh his wife does with the spiritism crap!

    Load of rubbish!

    He should stick to his internet marketing, no wonder his traffic took a downturn since he has been talking wet!

    Anyway, I need to modify my blogs to get rid of any refrneces to Steve Pavlina, or SBI.

    Something told me not to buy SBI, but I talked my cousin into it, who happens to be doing OK, which I am glad about, since I talked him into it as a guinea pig! Phew! (www.motor-cycles-for-sale.com for my cousin’s SBI site)

    So I’ll drop all this SBI stuff now, and carry on blogging. I also have a website to build, as I have 5 years’ domain, and 3 years’ hosting already paid for upfront, (very cheap, around £90 all in or therabouts for all the time period above.) I just need to get going withJoomla or WordPress now!

    I think I may give the keyword academy a look too, for $1 I can’t complain, and I can always drop out if it isn’t for me, and save $33.

    Let me know folks what you think.

    Thanks,

    I got my Cousin on SBI, and he has http://www.motor-cyccles-for-sale.com

    I do feel guilty now, as I am not wasting $300 on it now!

    I have a blog on WordPress that got to No1 in a week, but I deleted it because WordPress wouldn’t let me use AdSense.

    Can I get it back again?

    This was it…

    My Blogger copy is below… not doin g nearly as well, DOH!

    http://lpg-car-autogas-conversion.blogspot.com/

    Anyway it taught me SBI is a load of rubbish, and I got to No1 for free!

    So I’ll be doing it myself from now on.

    WordPress does rock, but how do you use AdSense on a free blog?

    Hi Lis!

    You said above; “….focussed on a particularly keyword and providing real information which will solve the visitors questions/problem”.

    In the gospel according to Grizzly. he says don’t actually answer the questions, but provide [Adsense] links that will, thereby encouraging them to click the link.

    I know it is a great temptation to provide the answers (we owe it to our self esteem!), but doing so actually defeats the purpose of a ‘adsense niche’ blog.

    What say??

    :-D

      Good question and well spotted – I wrestled with the same conflict myself for a while. Its a level of degree – I do a couple of things.

      I hide the content with a boring layout and long paragraphs of text and most readers won’t find it cause they are scanning and not reading – so I dont write as I do here – I don’t use short paragraphs, bullet points etc!

      Also say the keyword is “learn scuba diving” (not a niche of mine BTW) – then I would write about the dangers of scuba diving without without having taken the time to learn scuba diving. I’d advise the reader to decide whether to check out a local institute which has learn scuba diving classes or whether to learn scuba diving once they are on vacation – but at no time would I actually give them an address of a local scuba dive school. I rather think that the adsense ads might do that! I actually think that the article has some value to the reader and value to the advertiser and would have the added benefit of passing a visual inspection.

      I have proven to myself that by actually providing the answers for example with my vacation packing tips article I get lots and lots of readers – and very little cash! That said you don’t have to write spam either – there is a happy medium.

    Can’t argue with that!

    This is pretty interesting, actually. I was thinking about doing the same thing before, but I happened on my one website that’s generating most of my income.

    I think this is a good idea, however, because if you do make a bunch of sites, and you find that a few are doing REALLY well, you can focus on expanding on those niches and maybe creating 140 small websites that earn $1/day, but 10 websites that earn $100/day.

    Good luck! I hope you do some extensive keyword research before you choose your niches :)

      To be perfectly honest my keyword research has been very hit and miss – but I’ve had a bit of a lightbulb moment with market samurai and I am now getting a lot more focussed. You’ve had fantastic success with your e-book – but its always best to have more than one site – we don’t control a lot of things in this game- like the important one Google – so I feel its best to be diversified – and stuff changes all the time – lets face it luxury travel blogs are so last year now!

    That’s the problem with “passive” is that you can’t be popular like John Chow. I am also all about the passive income because I am not branding myself either. I just want to rank high in search engines and make money.

    Hey Lis, nice post and ideas. Enjoy reading some of your content. I think the part about providing some information but not too detailed is definitely right on. Then some AdSense or affiliate products for more information can give more resources for these visitors. Giving too much information isn’t good because if the readers already got what they want, they won’t take any action and that deters the whole point of your business model.

      Niche Devil is sold out because the demand was so strong that the team was worried about being able to support their users. Its only a small company with limited support resources.

      BANS has issues with Google not indexing sites

    Hi Lis great blog and I love the articles you wrote about sbi reviews n stuff but I better post something about that on the right page : )

    Anyway

    I’m trying to figure out is it alright to use blogger or blogspot by google as its free to set up my small nich sites? and is it possible easy to get index and stuff…(btw I’m know very little about webpage building and indexing and html coding, thats why I havnt gone for word press)…however I’m very keen and think is very doable setting up small nich sites with 10 pages ..

    Also you mention the small nich sites pages are all focus on one keyword …or would some pages have keywords that are related like exmaple keywords of “how to get out of debt” to “budgeting software reviews” ?

    anyway again love the blog love how you write tooo my spelling n grammer poo too.. : )

    Thanks Lis… so as long as they related ..I can write a article on it ? ..btw do you have a time table or suggestions on a to do list for everyday? like you will write 3 articles in aday then work on back links and replying to blogs?….

    also this is my last question I promise what you think of Yaro Starak thinking of joining his thing?

      Of course – in fact having a few things off topic looks more natural IMHO. I don’t think much of Yaro -he’s about being a famous blogger and developing membership sites – the “fake it to you make it crowd” AFAIK he doesn’t have any real experience in developing an online business with income site outside the MMO niche.

    You’ve answered one of my on-going questions: Why do so many website owners buy so much absolute junk? Obviously, they want junk so people will click away from their sites via their ads.

    Oh, and I signed up for Hubpages using your link.

    Lis, thanks for visiting my blog (Mybloglog widget on my site told me you just visited ;-) ) Back to my real reason for wanting to drop a comment.

    I have often been tempted to discard Grizzly Bear suggestion on not giving all the answer so that the search engine visitor will need to click on the Adsense adverts to get more help. But the fact remains that he is right.

    Articles that gives all the information only receive good traffic but adds nothing to my adsense account. So, I am learning (reluctantly though) to give scanty information with the hope that the Google Adsense bot will serve advertisements that will fill in the gaps.

    Thanks for remind me of the fundamentals of making passive income online. Often one can really get distracted by all the junks being peddle online.

    I love your site. It is full of good stuff for the brain. I guess you’re a fan of Griz ;-)

    Interesting concept in one of the posts – don’t answer the question. I try to answer the question in my ehow articles, but the winners might be the ones that leave the reader looking for more info or the next step.

    I’m adding you to my blog roll. Lots of good info in your blog.
