SEM Tycoon

**aramik** · 10-03-2006, 09:14 PM

Ok, here's the story.. Ive been making/manageing websites for almost 5 years now. Ive run a few big sites and had many small ventures in the past. Ive never really looked into making money with the sites besides adsense.. The whole monteizing scheme never really interested me, but now days I think it would be a good idea to get into it.
Google hasn't made me much, in the past few months something around 80$ not even that.

I know this may look/sound like a "n00bish" post but yeah, it's a forum.. we are supose to ask aren't we?

Is there any tips/advice you can give a begginer or something like a tutorial? If not, is there any threads you could point me too?

Ive looked at various post's around here, but it seems even the new people know whats going on :helpsmilie:

Thanks in advance.

It may be a newbish post since you are new but definately not a "n00bish" post. I am not sure where to point you for tutorials since I do not know what your skills are currently. What are your skills and can you share the links of some of the websites you run?

big thing is read the forums here and other great blogs and even other forums. they have a wealth of information that won't cost you a dime! plus if you have specific questions just ask!

It's your first post in CP. We have the informations in here you have to look through. You made $80 for how long? Make that much in one month? Some of us make that much daily.

Sorry It's EF.

I ran sites like otakulive, oz-anime, digitscene.com a few others.. yeah the 80$ was in a FEW months, not even a month. So you can tell I haven't had much success/skill in this area.

PortPSP.com
AnimeSeat.com

not exactly a niche market, but yeah. They haven't been developed much at all, not even 2-3 hours work into each one.. was busy with exams. Know that they are over.. I have the time/effort.

i have close to 2 million page views per month across my network, and am running ads from google/yahoo and some banner via affiliates...but am lacking in conversion. Any pointers would help.

my tip

watch it with google adsense. Make sure you follow the TOS.
They have a habit of screwing people out of there money just before pay-day. Obviously some are banned legitimately for click-fraud. But if you look around, theres forums worth of people banned innocently.
