Most of my money comes from Google Adsense ads.

Hi Petra. You are smart to write articles that do not compete with your own site. I’ve read in a forum once where someone described outsmarting himself by writing articles in his niche and submitting them to another site with higher authority, only to be outranked for his own keywords. I didn’t want to make that mistake, so I do the same thing as you. I’ll write about real estate in general, but not about what’s happening in my city. I’m saving those for my own site.

Hi Petra, I have returned to this post. I have not been adding to my sites, so thanks for that tip. I’m not sure quite what to add, but as I understand it the Google bots like to see something expanding as it gives it credibility. What I do find strange is that I sometimes come across a website on page 1 of Google, that has barely any content and very few backlinks. I have been monitoring one such site for three months and it has not budged from its spot on page 1.

It’s good to see niche websites are working from you. And I search up mens wrist watches and it seems you’ve made some progress from the time you published this article. Your now on the first page for those keywords. Do you also use ads to make money, or is all of your money coming from JUST affiliate marketing?

Thank you for posting and your advice. Like to agree with you Petra, on one very important thing. Two. Or three actually. You need to build backlinks to your website steadily; all the while you keep updating the site by keeping to add new posts. As you say this suggests that “you are there” and that the site isn’t going stale. But most importantly, thirdly, I think it’s quite important about “what” exactly you write about.

Building Niche sites tells us that you should focus on that topic. In Google’s eyes it would make sense that a website don’t just hold a lot of backlinks to it, but also the lots of articles that go with it spread all over the site. This don’t tell Google better what the site is all about. This “convinces” Google. To pick another word: It “satisfies” Google.
