Niche Site Duel Update 1: How my niche sites are faring…
After some gruesome content writing and some back linking, my efforts seem to be paying off. Let’s take a look at a couple of stats that I have in regards to both of my niche sites:
Anime Like
This site is doing alright and slowing getting more traffic. However, I have yet to make a dime off the site. I am going to keep adding more content as I go along. Some of the keywords I am targeting have less than 1k global search a month. Perhaps I should go for bigger keywords.
Dragon City Egg
This is quite a surprise for me that how well this site is doing. I am ranking really well with all my targeted keywords. I did some backlinking but most of my backlinks are coming from Facebook as I get tonnes of likes on one of my content. I guess it went viral and the site just took off. This site has made me $51.22 in July 2013. I am very happy and I will be continuing working on the site.
If you want to see the methods I use, look at the Niche Site Duel page.

I’m loving that little spike your Dragon City Egg website had, haha. I see that the website is a gaming website, and specifically a Facebook gaming website, so you can definitely make some good cash advertising for some GPT sites (specifically Points2Shop). P2S has a landing page about free $10 Facebook Gift Cards, and you can get paid up to $1.50 every time someone signs up under you, and a little bit less for non-western countries.
My youtube videos (made complete with windows movie maker so you can just GUESS that terrible quality) only get like 100-200 views a month but I’m making over $30 a month from sign ups.
With your traffic you can make a LOT more money, and everything is legit. I’m going to hyperlink my name so that you can see the Facebook landing page for yourself. It’s linked with my name so you can join under me, but you definitely don’t have to. My username on P2S is jayfs if you need any help.
Good luck!
(PS: these traffic stats also make me slightly depressed for myself LOL. The highest views I’ve ever received in a day was 17 views! You’re doing well).
Hi Jay Samson, can you tell me more about the Points2Shop? I didn’t see any Facebook Gift Cards on that page.
I am going to put out some content on how to get some good traffic. I am willing to help you out.
Thanks for your information!
Sorry for not answering you! I forgot about the comment I had made.
Basically this is a website that pays you to complete surveys and offers. In exchange, you get points. You can spend these points on anything you want INCLUDING Facebook Gift Cards.
AS A REFERRER, however, you get a portion of everything your referrals earn in the form of CASH (not points). You can withdraw your cash through Paypal as long as you have at least $1.00. The payment will be sent to your Paypal within a day or two.
As of this message, I have earned about $291 from Points2Shop with only 100-200 views a day AND with untargeted traffic. Your website is getting highly targeted traffic and in large amounts. I bet you can get a large amount of referrals on a daily basis this way.
That is nice. Unfortunately, my site did’t get the results I needed. Perhaps I have to create a “referral tutorial” for it to be effective.
Hi! I’m searching google for the competition on anime niche when I arrive here at your blog. You know, I’m also a fan of Patt Flynn so I got hooked at your blog. I wish you success like Patt does like you, I’m also new at SEO so it would be nice if I got an accompany. I’ll stick to your blog 🙂

Thanks!!
Well, from my own site, anime traffic from my anime site doesn’t seem to do well with adsense. I am trying out ad.fly right now. I will give you an update in October!

Kenny, you followed what Becker said right?, is it still working as of now? As what they said, google keep on updating and I’m confused if i’ll try it out. And congrats for your dragon city egg niche it was on number three on google! Btw, what is yor keyword research strategy?
PS.
If you don’t mind, please send me an email. I want to be friends with you 🙂
Yea, I used mostly Alex Becker’s tactics.
I do use all free methods though, so I didn’t do any high pr blog network stuff.
We can be friends for sure. I am gonna put up a chat in my blog, and you can come visit. We can then chat 😀
Without google keyword tool now, what keyword research tool do you use now? 🙂
I use the new Google Keyword Planner. It isn’t as smooth as the GKT, but I just have to suck it up and use it lol. What about you?
I’m also using the new keyword planner then I’ll go to market samurai to see the competition. Anyway, I tried hubpages and submitted two articles. Unfortunately, they rejected it and I’m sure it is quality content. Is it normal for a new hubpager to get rejected?
Yea, their standard for their hubs are higher now. To be on the safe side, write 700 words, put a least 1 picture and 1 video to make sure it gets featured.
Thank’s for the tip. So back about niche sites, how long did you rank your dragon city egg niche?
I saw my site rank on the serps on the second/third page for my keywords after 2 weeks or so. It wasn’t until 30 days from the day I registered the site that it started moving to the first page. After 46 days or so I moved to the top 5 for my main keyword and 2 months later, the rest of the keywords followed. I will be writing a detailed guide on the methods I use in the coming week(by September 18th 2013.). I think it will help people that are just starting up and have no money to invest in the site.
