Nice job with the site. Just keep in mind that likely your stats will be thrown off by people (such as me) that are just typing in the url and visiting the site after reading your blog posts and not those who are interested in the site subject matter. Also, just as an FYI be careful about showing all of your adsense stats publicly bc that is against their TOS.

Morgan, congrats on the $3 click! It’s great to hear of and see the screenshots of a success story from a domain won on Bido. We’re following along!

Hey Morgan, I wish you good success with the site. I’d be very leery about posting the picture you posted however – I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that it’s a violation of the AdSense TOS…

Thanks Ross! I’ve had the same thing happen to me on a number of sites. I think Google decides at that point it is far too lucrative for them to take the money rather than give it to you! Since I have a large portfolio of strong-performing mini-sites I’m looking to add this to the collection and see what potential it has.

Better hope that traffic you send to the advertisers convert otherwise google will smart price you. Has happened to a couple of my credit/loan domains. They start out awesome and then those $3 clicks turn in to $.25 cent clicks.

Leonard – install Google Analytics and Google’s webmaster tools on your website – that triggers an immediate flag on the googe robots to index the site sooner, than later. You might have already done this, but it does work. We recently launched ScaleModelTrains.com and typically without installing these google tools, it can take longer. The term “scale model trains” is now Page 2. Good luck

Thanks for your comment Leonard. I find that it typically takes 6-8 months for a brand-new site to get indexed and start ranking well in Google and Yahoo. For pre-existing sites the timeline can be a bit less – usually from 3-6 months until you will see results.

Links will help you but focus on sites related to yours rather than just having random sites link to you.

I hope I can help share some of the strategies that help make my domains consistent monthly revenue. I have a large portfolio of developed names that we have built SEO-optimized sites for. They all monetize and certainly some do better than others – domains have trends just like stocks so sometimes a particular keyword is either less, or more popular at a given point in time.

This is why it is important that, as with stocks, you keep a diversified portfolio. Try to have domains in as many categories as you can – using multiple domains in categories you find success in. My company develops SEO-optimized sites and have built our portfolio around this strategy. Not only does this provide consistent monthly income – it also creates a much higher selling price when you are ready to sell the domain.

One of those three visits was me today. I visited your site to see how it looked. Congrats on the $3 click.

Thanks for the updates. I recently developed a site and submitted it to the search engines. It was previously parked. After several days I don’t see it indexed by the search engines. I’m just curious what your experience has been regarding the lag between submission and indexing. From what I have read new sites are on a watch status the first few months. Also, for minisites, roughly how many links do you seek? Should these be specific to the topic or are directory links worthwhile for generating traffic? I enjoy reading your posts and best of luck with your site.
