Hi Everyone,

I've been doing Martell websites since Late January. Right now I have 10 websites, some bigger than others. My biggest website, 200 pages, is my best website as well as my oldest. It's making $350 a month. 5 others do about $100 for now, but they're about half the size. The new ones are just trinkling Adsense profits for now. So, how much are your websites making?, still trying to reach the $500 per site/month mark Smile

Winter site Dec 2004 $1000
Summer site July 2005 $850

My summer site has been making
money since mid-March and still going
has 200 pages and 20 link partners. Very Happy

About $1300 (a year old), but not a Martell site, and I don't have much else in the way of moneymakers yet.

Those seem like good numbers for one site, Blake and Jeremy - congrats guys. I was wondering if you could tell me how long each one has been online, Jeremy? And are you guys getting mainly Google traffic?

Surprised Yeah, way to go Blake and Jeremy, those ARE impressive numbers, definitely inspiring. If you were asked to say which is the #1 reason for your great success what would it be? My intuitive guess is that it would be massive quality content. Do I stand correct?

Just curious & thanks for sharing Smile

Massive quality content is probably about right. I am not a "natural" marketer and I worked my you-know-what off on this site. I have a strong sense that a better marketer could have created at least five 1K sites in the time it's taken me to build one.

My 1st site was the winter site went online
April 16th 2004, started making money the
end of Nov. 2004.

2nd site summer site started end of Aug 2004
started making money mid-march 2005.

Traffic mostly from Yahoo and MSN not too
much from Google. Lots of content is the reason
for success.

Now my winter site is starting again 100+
visitors per day mostly from Yahoo.

I write articles for all keywords I don't
look at competition.

I believe if you make a site with at least 200+
articles you'll make a couple hundred per month.

Just keep adding articles and making more sites.

Takes time, persistence, and patience.

My 3rd and 4th sites I started beginning
of Feb. still waiting for them to start making
money, it is frustrating at times, but I just keep
adding articles and inbound links.

Keep on Keeping on.... Very Happy

No website that I create makes less than $1000 a month or I won't even bother to create it.. Most of the sites I make take less than 3 months to ramp up tp that figure and from there smooth sailing..

Wow - get rich quick! I thought that only happend on infomercials! Wink

Seriously, LivingFree, you've got us all wondering what you're doing - trade secrets not included - do tell Razz

Great to hear people like you doing so well! And again - not asking for secrets - just an overview of what you think is important.
