I've walked away from these and put them down as a loss. I guess I could try and put more effort into them but it's best to concentrate on the sites that are ranking and ensure that they are still ranking. I'll see if anyone wants to purchase these domains that I can't rank, or I will just let them run-out and not renew them. Of course if they are aged then they might rank better in the future.

Have a great honeymoon in Bali. Do you ever walk away from a site even that won't rank without building links to it? Good stuff! Have a great honeymoon in Bali.

The CPC isn't very high and averages between 30p-50p across all my sites. I have had days when I notice a new advertiser is using AdWords and they have quite a high CPC for their campaign. Those are nice days :) I also had it where an AdWords advertiser obviously isn't 100% sure of what they're doing and given me a £16 click for a low ranking keyword! Cheers Darren.

I have a preference to .co.uk but have so far been able to rank both quite well. There aren't many if any affiliates for the type so of sites I'm building, but I agree that I would get better payouts rather than adsense but at least they pay for every click. I use different themes for most of my sites to give them a bit of identity and make them stand out. I hope this answers your questions :) Hi Jonathan,

I presume they are pretty high paying keywords? Great post Adem, you’ve done really well for the first year, heck I’d love to be making the kind of money on Adwords that you have too!

An inspiration for many affiliate beginners out there....... Interesting to see you only buy .co.uk or org.uk. I take it you only target UK traffic? Have you tried targeting US/international traffic instead? Of your successful niche sites are most .co.uk or org.uk? Surprised most of your earning are via Adsense – I would have thought if you had niche sites that rank in Google, etc you would be pushing Merchants affiliate programs/products (and get a higher payout) – I know I’d be tempted to. Why do you think you have not had success with those types of sites? Do you usually use the same Wordpress theme for most of your sites? Good luck with the next 12 months……….

I'm keeping away from these types of themes now and trying to add some originality to my designs. Cheers for the comment.

I switched to optimizepress and headway theme. So far the optimizepress theme has had good results. It's too soon to tell with headway. I really like the Azon theme but I may need to drop it.

If a site has potential then I try to make it as professional as possible and as useful as possible as I want it to not only be liked by Google but also by the people who visit it. I believe that doing this ensures that the sites are up there for the longterm and avoid anything that Google throws at them. Good luck with your new project. Thanks Ian.
