How a 54 Word, 1 Page Website Generated Over $2389.36 with Adsense

In this post, I want to prove my point that micro-niche sites still do work and it is still a great way to make money online. Since I started building micro-niche websites, I saw people arguing back and forth whether micro-niche sites are dead or not. I really didn’t care about what people think. I just kept on building my sites as I used to when I started.

To prove my point, I’d like to share a story. Back in December of 2008, I’ve created a single page, a 54 word post website. I can’t really reveal what I wrote there, but the post was about a health condition of morbidly obese people. It is a extremely saturated market with high PR websites dominating all related search terms. After reviewing keywords, I found a few keywords that had few hundred searches done each day with low competition.

After researching those two keywords, I dropped one that had almost no advertisers in Adsense. So I used the other keyword and came up with a simple, 54 word post about that health condition. Exactly a month later, I had a $84.47 Adsense day from this website. There was a big spike in traffic. Since then, it has generated $2389.36 in 2009. The funny thing is that that website has no back-link at all. It is not linked from any websites, even now.

You may think what’s the big deal about making $2389.36 with a website, and I understand where you are coming from. I’m just trying to tell you that a well-researched keyword combined with high paying ads can still make you money even in highly saturated markets. That’s the beauty of niche marketing, which I love.

Here is what I did to make this website.
1) Domain name is “keyword-keyword-keyword-tips.com” It is a three word keyword.
2) Registered the domain for 3 years.
3) I installed WordPress. I meant to post more on this website, but ended up doing only 1 post.
4) Since then, it has over 80 comments. I think the comments really helped boost search engine rankings. But I didn’t have any comments for many months.
5) It has 1 block of Adsense on the top. I will attach a screen shot.

That’s about it. If you are thinking about giving up with niche marketing, give it a second thought. Focus on keyword research and delivering the right content for that keyword. It has always worked and still working. In the future post, I will explain why choosing a high paying keyword is very important by showing you one of my sites that generates thousands visitors more per month then above site and making 1/10th of income from Adsense. Thanks for reading.

P.S. Here is a bonus screen shot. :)
