The Ugly Single-Page Site
If you're looking to make money from AdSense you might want to try combining the ugly site and single-page site strategies to build an ugly single-page site each week or two. Here's how:
- Find a niche topic, write a short article about it (follow my article writing tips)
- Make a simple and ugly (because simple doesn't necessarily mean ugly) page out of it with few or no external links and some AdSense (or YPN) ads on it
- Put it on a keyword-rich domain
- Submit the new site to the search engines (here are some links)
- Turn your attention to something else
If one of the sites starts getting traffic, start building more content for it. In the meantime, move on to building other sites.
The perfect strategy for the design-impaired!
(I say this half-jokingly… it's amazing how much time you can spend tweaking your web pages to look right… there's a lot of freedom in not worrying too much about how the page looks and concentrating on building good content…)
