Parking payments compared to Minisites with AdSense..

[gazzip]

I am a bit peeved that the search engines don't seem to be indexing sedo's parking pages like they used to. I'm just wondering if the development time is really worth the difference.

How much of a difference between payments for Adsense on minisites compared with Sedo's payments per click ?

Just what sort of cut are sedo taking ? Any ideas ?

If you can post any examples too that would be great :lala:

Thanks

I've seen this discussed many times, and the 1plus.net owner stated in another thread that they've gotten the green light from google adsense on their setup. Is this info correct?

I wasn't talking about 1plus.net - I use them too. I was talking about these automated minisites that are making the rounds. They are against google's terms of service/webmaster guidelines because they are mostly devoid of content.

"Scraped content: Some webmasters make use of content taken from other, more reputable sites on the assumption that increasing the volume of web pages with random, irrelevant content is a good long-term strategy. Purely scraped content, even from high-quality sources, may not provide any added value to your users without additional useful services or content provided by your site"

From their guidelines: "Google will take action against domains that try to rank more highly by just showing scraped or other auto-generated pages that don't add any value to users."

There are lots of these autoblogs out there, many being sold here on NP - so unless you are adding your own content along with these scrapped blog posts - you are just asking for trouble sooner or later. They may just drop your site from the search results, but they may also remove you from the adsense publisher program.

1plus.net is fine - they even use a google feed! They had to have approved it! LOL

Adsense has no problems with my whypark sites, The content feeds are updated weekly with fresh new content, but i use my own content aswell, my sites are 50% whypark feed, 50% my content. Google is going after auto blog sites and mini sites with cached old content. Understandable though , Imo, They have nothing for the visitor to see, That they haven't seen a 100 times over.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks guys, the bit that confuses me about PPC and Parking companies like sedo is one day you get something like 0.20 euro per click and the next you can get a 3.50 euro click for the same keyword

Why does it change so much ? Is it Sedo deciding how much they want to give you or something else ?

It would be nice to hear what sort of money mini-sites are recieving per click if anyones knows

What do you guys make of this below

The following site looks like it is basically just a search engine portal full of PPC links for just about everything. I have seen quiet a few example of sites like this, no content just PPC > www.searchsite.com

Is this ok/legal to do and how would you go about setting something like that up ? I have a few Travel related names I would like to do this with.

Thanks

Because the advertiers rotate, So you may get an advertiser that is bidding $5 on a keyword one day, You may be running his link for that day, While in turn, The next day you may be publishing a link for advertiser that has only bid .020 for that same keyword, I hope that makes sense, And helps

I can't say specifically say about minisites , but with PPC I sometimes get clicks of EPC between $8 - $ 25. Most of the websites I have are not in a high EPC niche, so I think it may be conversions. Sedo clicks are much lower.

Exactly. i haven't used whypark but as you say and is mentioned in the quote I put - google doesn't seem to care as long as you at least put something new and original there. The drawback I see with whypark, 1plus and the like vs making a minisite of your own is you can't exactly move the site as a whole unit to someone else. But as a method of making money for a domain owner - they work.

Which is this PPC you are referring to ? On Sedo, the max I have got is $ 1.30 per click i.e. for forex and I believe that is very less.

You can't move the sites, But no need to, At $1 a site , and no hosting fees, They are unbeatable at the moment, Imo

>$8 is for developed sites, I don't know the exact subject since my websites are on a variety of subjects and I don't have many channels. For sedo , I have got a $2 euro click, but again I have not done much tracking.
