Okay, so it has been a couple of weeks since I finished my challenge to build 100 sites in 30 days, and I wanted to give everyone a quick update. First of all, I have not seen any additional sites de-indexed, but I have also not had any of the sites that were de-indexed come back yet.  Overall, I think I have around 30 out of the 100 sites de-indexed; I’m not 100% sure on this number though. My earnings for the month of May was:...

My challenge to build 100 Niche Adsense sites in 30 days is complete!  I successfully built all of the sites. If you have been reading this blog, you will know that I have had some ups and some downs; however, overall I see it as a positive experience. I am still seeing some earnings everyday, and I fully expect to make back my original investment and hopefully start making some profit in a few months. As you read this post, I will...

Wow, its been 29 days and what a ride it has been!  I started this blog simply hoping to help others out on how to do keyword research and learning the power of targeting long-tail keywords; I ended up with a bunch of sites being de-listed from Google! The more I look at it, the more I think that this blog DID indeed contribute to my sites disappearing.  From what I can see, most of my sites were de-indexed right around May 1st (half-way...

Okay, so now that I discovered that some of my websites have been de-indexed by Google.  I am trying to make some remedies to the sites and submitting them for reconsideration. As many as you have noted, and as I did in my article yesterday.  I believe the reason for the de-index was for too many ads above the fold, and lack of content. I already submitted 2 sites to the Google reconsideration team with only changing the layout and...

Alright, in keeping with being completely open and honest with everyone (as I originally promised), I have some bad news. Google has de-indexed about 50 of my mini-niche sites! Uh-oh! This is a sobering post, because I am not sure what this means exactly and where to go with my business in the future. Let me explain as much as I know up to this point. With the completion of these 100 niche sites that I am almost complete with, I have...

I found my last 8 keywords last night, now I just need to get articles written and built the sites, and I will have my 100 sites! These last 8 keywords actually took my 3 or 4 days to find (which is long for me).  Everyday, I do about 10 runs with Market Samurai using a base keyword.  This base keyword usually generates between 200-400 related niche keywords. So, each night I have been going through 2000 to 4000 keywords.  So, I easily...
