Another good Article Underground question…

It looks like I’ll have to start a category just for AU questions! :-)

Here’s the latest one…

“A quick question about your Article Underground recommendation; assuming I setup 2 sites a day, so by the end of the week had 10, how long before I could expect to see the $97 monthly fee covered?”

And my reply…

“Wow… you really expect an answer to that? :-)

It depends on a huge number of factors, some of which are…

  • How many pages are in your sites?
  • How well will you integrate ads so that they get clicks?
  • How much promotion will you do for each site, and will you use effective or ineffective promotion?
  • Will you be building feeder sites for each site?
  • Will you be running blogs alongside the sites?
  • Will you be getting $1 per click because you’ve reduced the number of ads on the page, or $0.10 per click because you’ve over-saturated the pages with ads?
  • Did you choose your domain names wisely?
  • Did you add any totally original content to your sites?
  • How long will the “big engines” take to visit?
  • How long will it be until your sites get into the search engine indexes?

In short, I have no idea. :-)

Seriously, this is kinda answered in my other Article Underground answer post…

..it’s the fact that sites make money month after month which will see you recovering the $97 fairly soon.

I can tell you I took a domain name on the 21st June which was visited by bots on the 23rd and 24th because I posted at two AU blogs promoting just one page. That page has seen Google traffic from SIX different searches and I got my first Adsense click yesterday… the 27th. The first visitor from Google was on the 24th… just three days after taking the domain name!

So, it depends… but it can be pretty fast. :-)
